The main focus of the Wolfpacks class is on piloting, advanced game mechanics, and nullsec survival. The class will include both theory and practical demonstrations, including live fire exercises in nullsec space '''which will take place on day one'''. Students should show up for both days of the class expecting to be flying in a hostile environment.
+
Wolfpacks covers and discusses using the following topics to gain fight advantages:
 +
 
 +
* Strategic fleet movement
 +
* Timers
 +
* Baiting
 +
* Modified/simple fly-bys
 +
* Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles!
 +
 
 +
Unlike PVP-BASIC, the PVP-WOLFPACKS class now takes place on only one day. The class will start out with about 15 minutes of lecture, followed by anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours of practical exercises and demonstrations which mostly take place in nullsec.  We then move straight into a full-on roam, looking for fights and creating explosions.  '''The instructors 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 is now highly focused on practical exercises, it is vitally important that you have up to three ships fit and ready to fly ''before'' the class starts. You must be in the classroom system when class starts, as we will undock within 15-20 minutes.  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.

For T2 Railguns:

* Small Railgun Specialization I
  
The Wolfpacks class takes place entirely in thrashers - the minmatar destroyer. The reasons for this will be discussed in more detail during the class, however it's primarily to take advantage of the high alpha strike (also known as volley damage) offered by a thrasher with artillery, making the wolfpacks gang excellent for quick hit and run attacks.
+
For T2 Lasers:
 +
* Small Energy Turret V
 +
* Small Beam Laser Specialization I
  
All thrashers should be artillery fit, and should fit an afterburner. A damage control and a sensor booster are recommended, and other low/mid slots should be used for damage and electronic warfare respectively. As with PVP-BASIC, you should bring alternative ewar mods as we will balance the fleet before heading out.
+
For Drones:
 +
* Drones V
 +
* Scout Drone Operation V
 +
* Appropriate racial Drone Specialization I
 +
* Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing II
 +
* Drone Navigation II
  
It is highly recommended that at least one of your thrashers is fit to be disposable - you should use this thrasher for the live-fire practical exercises on day one of the class.

For Neuts (Dragoon, not recommended for this class):

Introduction

PVP-WOLFPACKS expands upon the content of PVP-BASIC. The course assumes that the student has mastered the PVP-BASIC content and then builds upon that content to introduce more advanced skills.

Wolfpacks covers and discusses using the following topics to gain fight advantages:

  • Strategic fleet movement
  • Timers
  • Baiting
  • Modified/simple fly-bys
  • Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles!

Unlike PVP-BASIC, the PVP-WOLFPACKS class now takes place on only one day. The class will start out with about 15 minutes of lecture, followed by anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours of practical exercises and demonstrations which mostly take place in nullsec. We then move straight into a full-on roam, looking for fights and creating explosions. The instructors 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 is now highly focused on practical exercises, it is vitally important that you have up to three ships fit and ready to fly before the class starts. You must be in the classroom system when class starts, as we will undock within 15-20 minutes. 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.
