Eve Online: How I Run My Fleets

-- WORK IN PROGRESS --

When considering fleets, I first decide the purpose. If it's to plex, I design the fleet around that purpose.

Every member of fleet has a role. This may include ECM, Logi, Dps, getting Point, etc.

Before heading out callers are decided on. E1 is the primary target caller, E2 is secondary caller, E3 is tertiary caller. If the E1 goes down the E2 immediately promoted as primary caller. If E2 also goes down, E3 is the primary caller.

Plexing Philosophy:

I prefer to take systems as quickly as possible. This means that we run multiple plexes at the same time, and assign members to plexes in proportion to our numbers. When a plex is almost finished, all members that are in other plexes and wish to share LP go to that plex for completion and then return to the one they were plexing. If everyone does this it means that everyone will end up with the same LP.

When deciding to plex, it's to plex, not use it as an excuse to find fights. The fights will come as a biproduct of plexing anyway. They will either come in and try to remove you or they won't.

Fleet Roles:

Depending on the purpose of the fleet, there should be designated roles assigned. Larger fleets should have ECM and/or Logi, for example.

In a larger fleet splitting up the fleet into squads makes sense, especially if it's desired to engage multiple targets at once. There is then the flexibility for the E1 target caller to designate one squad to one target and the other squad to a secondary target.

Eve Online - Faction Warfare Missioning

Basics: Gain ISK and LP by completing and turning in missions. Missions are against npc's (non-player "rats"). They generally involve destroying an object (like a reactor), or a head honcho rat (like a Sector Commander). With ISK you can purchase whatever you need off the Eve markets. LP you use to purchase items in your corporations Loyalty Points Store (LP = Loyalty Points). How lucrative is mission running? It depends on the tier the faction is at in the warzone. If you complete 20 missions, you should on average at Tier 3 get a payout of about 40 million ISK and 450K-550K LP. At about 700 ISK/LP that translates to about 350 mil. ISK. At Tier 4, those same missions completed should pay out 650k-850k LP. This would translate to about 550 mil. ISK. What do I use to run missions? Current doctrine suggests that if you're Amarr fighting against Minmatar, the best ship to use on Level 3 and 4 missions is a Stealth Bomber called the Hound . You can stay at range...

Stone and Rain

Commentary: Summer 2006 Let me cast a picture and invite you in... Close your eyes and I'll describe what you see. Keep your eyes closed. If you were to open your eyes you would see hills and valleys, green with eagerness and youth, obscured at random with misted veils or small stoned pathways, winding at random like streams and brooks. Tiny arched wooden bridges punctuate here or there... but before you is a pond that a good stone can be thrown across, it is so small. The water is shallow, and clear, and cool to the touch. The bottom is of tiny smooth stones. In the middle is a large flat round stone, carved by man, reached by a curved path of flat round white stones spaced so that a single step is taken on each to the shore. You kneel on the edge of this flat stone, and if you opened your eyes and looked into the water below, you would see small orange fish with large wavy fins gracefully and slowly gliding this way and that, waving their fins proudly like flags. Keep you...

Eve Online: FW - Why Choose 60 Squadron?

If you're a newbro Faction Warfare can be overwhelming. You came for various reasons from meeting up with and hanging around a bunch of guys (or gals) and make some friends, to get into some pvp action, or find a means of making ISK. The more you learn about Eve the more you find how expansive the environment is. What we can do for you What is your primary reason for joining Faction Warfare? If it's to get into fights, there's always pvp opportunities and small roaming fleets available. If it's to learn fleet operations, several times a week small and medium-sized fleets are organizing. Our fleets tend to be either frigates or destroyers as they are cheap and you'll lose a lot of them, but in the meantime you'll get into a lot of fights and in so doing will learn and become better at pvp and fleet ops. We sometimes venture into wormholes and at other times we may venture into high-sec for ops there. Primarily, our focus is on the Ammar/Minmatar warzone. Th...
