PVP-INTERMEDIATE
Contents
Introduction
PVP-INTERMEDIATE looks to expand upon the content of both PVP-BASIC and PVP-WOLFPACKS. The course assumes that the student has mastered the concepts and practical exercises, taught in both PVP-BASIC and PVP-WOLFPACKS, building upon the knowledge ascertained from those previous classes to form a more advanced understanding of gang warfare, logistics, and flying in a fleet with a specific doctrine and specific roles.
Intermediate covers and discusses the following:
- Fleet Roles
- Flying in a Doctrine
- Logistics (Flying, Fitting, Broadcasting)
- EWAR (Safety, Movement, Priorities)
- Manual Piloting vs. Anchoring
- Advanced Situational Awareness
Like PVP-WOLFPACKS, the Intermediate class takes place during the course of one day. The lecture portion of the class endeavors to run 1 to 1.5 hours in length with a 30-45 min practical section following it to practice the concepts learned through the reading material and lecture. After that, the class will move into null to begin looking for good fights with lots of explosions. The instructor(s) and fleet commander run the class and roam with the assumption that you have fully read all the required reading, so please do take the time to read them!
Because this class focuses heavily on cruiser gang doctrines and cruisers are slow, it is vitally important that you are on time and in the classroom system when the class starts with the appropriate ship type ready to undock and be flown. It is recommended that you have two DPS ships and one logistics ship if planning to fly DPS, or two logistics ships and one DPS ship if you plan on flying logistics. Be sure you set your medical clone to the classroom system, and be sure you are flying in a cheap or empty clone, as we WILL be engaging targets of opportunity and flying in hostile space.
