[Completed] Intro to roaming Sept 6 02:00

Post by Fonggar Akiga »

'Fleet activities are some of the most adrenalin-fueled fun you can have in game.' - Marek Holmberg

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.

When: Monday 06 Sep, 0200-03:30 EVE Time. First 15-20min is theoretical followed by in game learning.
Where: E-Uni Discord Class Channels, E-Uni Public Mumble, "Class (EVE Uni)" in-game channel and Hotel Sierra Charlie for the Practical
Duration: 20min Theory + 1hr Practical
Experience level: New to PvP


Topics Covered:
  • How to find/join a fleet
  • How to prepare for a fleet
  • The various roles within a fleet
  • Fleet communications and key fleet commands
  • Practical Exercise
Student requirements:
  • EVE Uni Public Mumble. Use this Guide for set-up
  • EVE Uni Discord. Use this Guide for set-up
  • Ships will be provided
Additional information:
If you decide to bring your own ship, instead of using flight deck ships, bring something you can afford to lose.
If someone is willing to scout that would be better, but that is an optional role.

Thanks Fonggar,

Class was great! Still learning the basics and while I was picking up how to participate in a fleet, I was learning all the useful shortcuts like jumping through a gate. Wish I could have stayed for the roam after the class. Thanks for your guidance.

Best,
Salartarium

Really wonderful class. Thanks so much Fonggar, this is a very useful class as a total noob. Learned about all kinds of things.

Insane bonus, Jurius Doctor randomly came onto comms near the end and started lecturing us on all kinds of topics!

Educational and memorable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
