This is a hands-on new player speech, based loosely on the Intro to Fleets course as a topics guide. We will go through fleet activities in real time, and depending on numbers try out different activities. This is preparation for the roams coming up, where forming times are shorter and new player speeches are sometimes brief/optional.
Feel free to bring something you don't mind losing. Since it's a kitchen sink for learning purposes, there are higher chances you will lose the ship because kitchen sink T1s often will not fair well in a fleet format.
During this session we're going to give new players some advice on fleets (mainly PvP, but most of it also applies to PvE fleets). We can pull ships from flight deck at Amygnon - Hotel Sierra Charlie, to make sure that everyone can come along and take part, and have reships in Eugales.
