Class Information

This syllabi contains the standard information of this class pertaining to ship movement, ship warping, bookmarks, tactical and fleet warping, and adjusting to combat conditions. Additional information relevant to the teacher is listed under Notes for the Teacher.

General Information

Illustration link for class description on the Eve University forum: midway.jpg

Describe the general purpose and objectives of the class, and the intended audience.

  • Duration: 1 to 2 hours [and an additional 1 to 2 hours for the optional practical exercise.
  • Location: Docked up safely in a station [in Aldrat]. Practical, meet outside the Pator Tech School in Aldrat.

Class contents:

  • Tactical maneuvering a ship using the overview
  • Tactical maneuvering a ship via double-clicking
  • Stargate entry and exit
  • Automatic jumps through stargates
  • Webifier-assisted warp entry
  • Ranges for jump/loot/dock/etc.
  • Undocking from a station while at war
  • Maneuvering in combat - moving between targets
  • Avoiding smartbombs while pointing
  • Pod saving after ship loss
  • Basic bookmarking while in warp
  • Tactical Warping
  • Countering Tactical Warping
  • Taking point
  • Bumping
  • Escaping tackle

Student requirements:

  • TeamSpeak registration and access - make sure you have TeamSpeak sorted out and operational well before the class begins. Use this guide for set-up: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/TeamSpeak
  • Access to the Class.E-UNI in-game chat channel

[* A Condor, Executioner, Atron or Slasher T1 frigate, for the optional practical exercise]

Additional information: This class is primarily lecture delivered in the Class.E-UNI channel in TeamSpeak, as well as a number of practical excercises. If the practical cannot be done, other options must be looked into.

Notes for the Teacher

Required materials:

  • Class.E-UNI chat channel, to receive questions and post relevant links
  • Ships on hand should all carry a warp scrambler and a warp disruptor, and no other modules or armanent

Class notes:

  • Being a part of Eve University is important, due to friendly fire rules.
  • Prepare a chain of 20 anchored containers set up at different headings to make a navigation course of sorts; each container should be labeled "Nav 1", "Nav 2", and so on, and should all be about 20km apart from the preceeding container. This is for a maneuvering excercise, and the names are important as the students are supposed to scramble these.
  • Prepare a battleship with a three smartbombs; one large, one medium, one small. This smartbomb should be set to single cycle. This is for practicing orbiting a smartbomb-equipped ship.
  • Prepare two Orcas if possible, for a demonstration of webifying techniques for warping. One ship should be fit with a 100mn Microwarpdrive I, set for a single cycle. If Orcas are not available, two Freighters will suffice.
  • Set up a grid of 6 bookmarks with at least 150km distance from each other, to describe tactical warping.

Introduction

Welcome to my class on Navigation!

This course is designed for all pilots, new and old, that want to learn how to get the most out of your ship when traveling from point A to point B, from maneuvering to get closer to an asteroid to mine it, to circling a ship to lock it down, to even knowing distances when undocking from stations. This is a very comprehensive course that should greatly assist you in many things in Eve Online.

Over the next two hours or so, we shall cover many different subjects including the following: knowing how to maneuver a ship using the overview during combat; know how to maneuver a ship via double-clicking a heading in combat; knowing the distances when you enter and leave a stargate; learn how to have your ship automatic jump through stargates on contact; learn how webifiers can be used to shorten warp-entry time; learning the distances for how close one must be to dock, loot, and other operations one must do while flying their ship; learn how to undock safely during war, or at trade hubs or low-security space; learn how to maneuver in combat, and how to move between targets; learn the distances of smartbombs, and how to avoid them while pointing a target; learn how avoid getting podded after a ship loss; learn how to create a safespot in emergency situations; learn about tactical warping and how to counter it; tackling a target; learn about bumping a ship; and learning some tricks to escape tackling devices such as warp scramblers and webifiers.

In addition to the comprehensive list, we will be also doing a number of practical excercises to help sharpen your reflexes and actions.

(Instructor should then introduce himself or herself - covering relevant experience level and background.)

We have a few ground rules for this class:

  • Please put your TeamSpeak settings on "Push to Talk" if you have not already done so.
  • Feel free to type any questions in the Class.E-UNI chat channel as we proceed - I will try to answer your questions as they come during the class. [At the end of my lecture, we'll open TeamSpeak for any further questions or general discussion.]
  • You should be docked up safely in a station in Aldrat if you intend to participate in the practical exercise. If not, please make your way here so you can participate.
