NSC Standing Fleet

The NSC Standing Fleet

Always join the standing fleet when near the NSC campus, or if you are travelling to the NSC campus. Here is some basic information about the standing fleet, including how to successfully create a standing fleet if one is not up.

Fleet Boss

• Accepting Fleet Boss

If boss is passed to you, either as a result of you volunteering or being "ninja bossed", the Fleet Advert window will pop up on your screen. Verify the Advert settings are correct as specified above and select the the "Submit" button. This will update the Fleet finder with the fact that you are the new boss and allow other pilots to join. Save the fleet setup from the Fleet windows setting menu for future use, if you have not done this before.

• Passing Fleet Boss to Another

If you are ready to leave fleet and are the current boss, you must pass the boss position to another in fleet first. Ask for volunteers in the Fleet Chat and/or Mumble. Make every reasonable effort to pass boss to someone who is active. Once you have your volunteer, make sure that they are safe, as becoming fleet boss will give them a 10-second session timer during which they cannot jump through a gate or dock at a station. Then, pass fleet boss to them by right clicking their name in chat or the fleet window, followed by a left click on "Make Boss".

• Being the Fleet Boss

The main job of the fleet boss is to move people in and out of Fleet/Wing command positions when asked to do so. Also, they are responsible for adding/removing new Wings and Squads as needed. The fleet boss is not the FC, nor in charge of anyone by default.

• There are two main routes into the NSC's area of null security space from these locations:
  • Through Harroule (low sec) and MHC-R3 (null sec)
  • Through Reblier (low sec) and 6-CZ49 (null sec)
  • Other routes should be avoided unless you know the area very well. In particular, avoid Orvolle/PF-346.
• Both of the low sec/null sec gates are frequently camped and for your first trip to the NSC you are strongly advised not to attempt to reach the campus unassisted.
• Join the NSC standing fleet and Mumble channel. Ask for intel on the route, and decide whether to use the Harroule or Reblier routes based on that intel.
• Ask for a scout; in many cases, someone will be able to go to your null sec entry system (MHC-R3 or 6-CZ40) to let you know the best time to enter, and provide a guide the rest of the way.
• Set your autopilot destination to your chosen entry system, then "add waypoint" to PC9-AY.
• Be aware that the gates may be bubbled with mobile warp disruptors, and that every neutral in Local is probably actively trying to find and kill you. See the advice below on "Traveling Safely".
• On arrival in PC9-AY, dock at the NSC home station (Intaki Commerce Trading Post) and set your jump clone.
• Welcome to the NSC!

• Set your autopilot destination for PC9-AY.
• Join the NSC standing fleet and Mumble channel. Ask for intel on the route.
• Ask for a scout; in many cases, someone will be able to go to your null sec entry system (Y9G-KS) to let you know the best time to enter, and provide a guide the rest of the way.
• Set your autopilot destination to your chosen entry system, then "add waypoint" to PC9-AY.
• Be aware that the gates may be bubbled with mobile warp disruptors, and that every neutral in Local is probably actively trying to find and kill you. See the advice below on "Traveling Safely".
• On arrival in PC9-AY, dock at the NSC home station (Intaki Commerce Trading Post) and set your jump clone.
• Welcome to the NSC!

Taking the Pod Express

***This can only be done once per year, and so it is recommended to use the other methods*** This method will cost you a new medical clone, but it's safer and faster than traveling.

• Jump into a clean clone (you will lose your implants) and dock in any station with medical/cloning facilities.
• Make sure your clone is up to date.
• Right click your ship and select Leave ship.
• Open the Medical window from the station interface and click Change Station at the bottom.
• A list of available stations will pop up, select PC9-AY. (this list only shows stations where EUNI has an office as well as your starting NPC corp)
• Self destruct by selecting the option in the station menu
• Once the countdown is over, you'll wake up in PC9, and welcome to the NSC.
