Tobias Sjodin Ore Mongers BAT PHONE	Posted - 2010.11.09 19:48:00 - [1] It seems ineffective to do it one at a time, or even by having separate wings each calling a primary. What is the best way to maximize performance during such a fleet fight? Everyone guns free, or? Just curious.
Culmen Caldari Blood Phage Syndicate Dead Terrorists	Posted - 2010.11.09 19:53:00 - [2] Considering that fleets have a maximum of 256 members, that's a good way to split it. only 256 memebers tops shooting something. and further more why do i even need a sig?
Lady Parity Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2010.11.09 19:53:00 - [3] To quote every decent FC in the game "Sort by A to Z" "Change overview to primary" "Change overview to caps" "Change overview to drones" "Start shooting" "Stop keying up" "Cyno up" "Warp to XXX" "Drop Bubble" FCs are really good bots Here are some NC ones "Open Market" "Spam contracts" "Deploy Drones" "Spam gf in local" "NAP corp or alliance" But imo most people are best to attack certain things by alphabetical order. If you have EVERYTHING on your overview you may as well delete

Bane Loppknow Pel Industries	Posted - 2010.11.09 20:16:00 - [5] Generally, FC will sort overview by distance and primary whatever's in range of the bulk of his fleet, giving higher priority to things like HICs, caps, etc. From what I've seen, one fleet constantly aligns to an object, so they can warp out if they get primaried, while the other chases them, constantly trying to get warpins with interceptors and other small fast ships. Every now and then the aligned fleet will warp out and back to the start, to stay on the objective (tower/cap defense etc). So, the ships in range changes fairly frequently, especially with logistics on the field.
Aiwha Caldari 101st Space Marine Force Nulli Secunda	Posted - 2010.11.09 20:21:00 - [6] Edited by: Aiwha on 09/11/2010 20:21:51 Fights of 1000 or more usually are made up of capital fleets duking it out, with multiple support fleets warping in and out of the main furball taking pot shots at each other and targets of opportunity. Combat can also be in several spots in system as well. ---- Gullible
Aloe Cloveris The Greater Goon	Posted - 2010.11.09 20:34:00 - [7] Break with convention and sort by reverse alphabetical order, tia.

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2010.11.09 20:45:00 - [8] Yelling "That Guy" over TS, and "That Guy" obviously being the name of the pilot - being named "That Guy". Or I think at times they also point at That Guy, that red shirt guy? Some Guy? SHOOTZ EVERYTHONG! Secure 3rd party service \| my in-game channel 'Holy Veldspar'

Lex Alandar Cooperative Freelance Navigators Association Fidelas Constans	Posted - 2010.11.09 21:30:00 - [14] In my experience, fleet battles that have 1000+ pilots on the field are mostly just organised chaos. some things I've heard... "A* primary" "not lockable" "for s sakes auto-repeat off" "need more DPS he's hardly taking damage" "secondary FC, step up, I'm still loading grid" "FFS SOMEONE CALL PRIMARIES!" repeat: "A* primary" "not lockable" Overall mostly a ****show. All the standard stuff has been gone over already, so I wanted to emphasize what an FC has to deal with, mainly lag (er...spatial distortions? lol) in huge battles. Completely different pile of goats from small fleet pvp.
kano donn Right Ascension	Posted - 2010.11.09 21:47:00 - [15] other posts here are correct in how they sort the fleet. most often 3-5 targets are called and you pretty much shoot what you can. Yes lag can be a ***** but stuff will still die.
superteds	Posted - 2010.11.09 22:10:00 - [16] A-Z by range.

Spurty Caldari D00M. Northern Coalition.	Posted - 2010.11.09 22:51:00 - [19] broadcasts pop last target called to the top of the overview regardless or order sorted by. definitely need tabs with URSOKEWL caps only, support only, Seekreet stuff import / export and share to assure your fleet gas these targets Hoppit!
Princess Jodi Cutting Edge Incorporated RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2010.11.09 23:09:00 - [20] Originally by: Spurty definitely need tabs with URSOKEWL caps only, support only, Seekreet stuff Confirming that I target ursokewl first in any engagement, at least until he pays for all the BS he lost for me due to his incompetent FC'ing during Max.

Ocih Amarr The Program Controlled Chaos	Posted - 2010.11.10 08:16:00 - [25] It hasnt been an issue since Doominion. Node crashing removes the need to call primaries. For the people who get logged back in, its fish in a barrel.

Muul Udonii Minmatar THORN Syndicate Controlled Chaos	Posted - 2010.11.10 09:00:00 - [29] 1. Multiple fleets on multiple comms with FCs coordinating in text chat. 2. Filter overview for important stuff, sort by range 3. Call up to 5 targets at once for really big engagements, calling pilot name, and ship type. Repeat calling them until they are dead or have warped away. 4. Set broadcast targets to move to the top of overview 5. If laggy, ignore logi as they won't be able to respond to your alpha anyway. 6. If you get a point, broadcast it so that others know there is a target that can't get away. Eventually you start to whittle down the fleet and you can resume a more ordered approach.
