[CLASS] [★Multiple Dates★] Selara's Tactical Practical: Fleet Tackling Basics

Post by Selara Trondinvale »

Selara's Tactical Practicals: Fleet Tackling Basics
Key Information

Date: {see scheduled times below}
Comms: EVE University Public Mumble server for comms, EVE University Discord for presentation

Overview

This is a two-part practical class, meaning that at least some of it takes place out in space. The first part will be theory; the second part will be practice. The two parts take place separately, on different dates, and will occur multiple times so you'll have a chance to repeat any section you missed.

You can attend either or both sessions; they're designed independently.

Part I: Tackling Theory

To participate in this part, you just need to be on Mumble and Discord and don't need anything special. We'll cover:
  • Tackling as dialectic: the essential truths of spaceship explosions
    • Control the engagement
    • Neutralize speed advantages
    • Time is survival
  • Fit to maximize "alive time": maximizing your survivability with tank, traversal, speed, and signature radius
    • Tank: withstanding direct damage
    • Traversal: outrunning turrets and threats
    • Speed: evading hostiles when outmatched
    • Signature radius: when they go big, you go small
  • Initial engagements
    • big, slow things: prioritize traversal
    • fast, spicy things: prioritize positioning
    • fast, tiny things: prioritize acquisition
  • Holding the field
  • Spreading your tackle
  • Bouncing
  • Further reading: Manual piloting, anti-kiting, feathering
Part II: Tackling Practice

FC: Selara Trondinvale
Staging: in nullsec in PC9-AY, so be in a clean clone

To participate in this part, you need a ship that conforms to the Practical Requirements below, in addition to being on Mumble.

We'll cover:
  • Preflight checklist: clean clone, ship fittings, bookmarks
  • Exercise 0: Setting up your overview
  • Exercise 1: Assessing guns
  • Exercise 2: Approaching your target with high traversal
  • Exercise 3: Tackling with your warp disruptor
  • Exercise 4: Landing well-positioned tackle
Practical Requirements

You don't need a ship to participate in the theory session.

To participate in the practical session, you need to have a ship that:
  • is frigate-sized
  • has a role bonus for tackling (the T1 frigates with this bonus are the Atron, Executioner, Slasher, and Condor)
  • has a fit with midslots that include all three of the following: any 5MN Microwarpdrive, any Warp Disruptor (note: a Warp Disruptor, not a Warp Scrambler!), and any Stasis Webifier
  • has any Warp Scrambler in your cargo bay
  • can fly 3,000 m/s or faster with its MWD activated (but not overheated)
  • can run the capacitor for at least 45 seconds with your MWD and Warp Disruptor activated
A sample fit is below for your reference.

Tips:
  • If you can't fly 3,000 m/s, consider training your Navigation (+5% to base speed per level) and Acceleration Control (+5% to AB and MWD bonus per level) skills.
  • If you can't maintain capacitor for 45 seconds, consider training your Capacitor Management (+5% to capacitor capacity per level) and Capacitor Systems Operation (-5% to capacitor recharge time per level) skills.
Sample Fit
[Atron, Modified Derptron]

Code: Select all

[Atron, Modified Derptron]

Type-D Restrained Reinforced Bulkheads
Type-D Restrained Overdrive Injector

Note: Non-IVY Event

Note that there may be non-IVY members in this fleet; this is a crossposted class/practical.

Shoot... I'm working a morning shift during your class time.

Since it's on Mumble I'm assuming there's no audio recording available after?

If there's any other resource available I'm very interested in learning.

The next one coming up is a practical, not just a class -- so we'll be out in space, running drills. An audio recording by itself won't be particularly useful; it'll be more about the practice drills, if that makes sense.
