Warfare & Tactics

or you come out to low-sec in FW country were all you need to get in is a hard on for pew-pew and the ability to lose ships 23/7.

Individual ships don't matter to me as much as being willing to train for whatever fleet doctrine we're using. As time goes by you'll find that your underlying skills will make that easier as you go. Your RL person and skills with the eve client are far more interesting to me as a recruiter than which ships your character can fly.

That said, your character needs to have somewhere to start or you won't be getting in fleets.... To start with, if I can find new recruits who can fly, in addtion to whatever else, both a guardian and a scimitar then they're pretty much set. With those two ships you'll be welcome in pretty much any fleet and it will give you time to train for whatever else you need.

I see from your replies that you like the idea of flying recons. My main can fly most things including all of the recons and all of the logistics ships and I spend *far* more time flying logistics than recons. There's simply more need for them in fleets.

T-

Interceptors. Not so important in the Big Blobs with hundreds of people to a side, but for smaller warfare a GOOD interceptor pilot is a godsend. The kind that can decloak reliably, point stuff and not die, is willing to NOT engage on a gate and wait for targets to jump to the other side.

The Big Plus for flying interceptors is that they're relatively easy to get in (frigate to 5, then train interceptors) and unlike recons, T3 ships, Logistics, etc., they're not particularly expensive.

Being a good interceptor pilot is hard. It's a lot more complicated than "Point, press the Orbit button."

But perhaps the most important thing that people look for in fleet members: Listen, follow orders, and be reliable.

Not going to name names, but people exist who are more useful to a gang when they do not turn up or join the fleet...

< Advanced celestis pilot here
The celestis is not the best example. You'll improve your efficiency a lot if you get the damp skill to 4 then the spec to 3.
Also, I fly my celestis with an excel on another screen, that's the best way to know "eh, he has a sebo, so with 3 damps he's f\/cked and I can use my forth one on another scrub".

Not saying that it's ~elite pvp~, but flying a blackbird is a bit easier (you will not see that much difference with/without the 'dispersion" skill, and well otherwise it's just about using the yellow jammer on the yellow ship).

Hmm not sure. If the pilot himself isnt skilled enough, it will only be 3 damps on 3 different targets withouth scripts. Or even worst, 3 damps on the primary. :(
