Illwill Bill Svea Rike Controlled Chaos	Posted - 2010.11.10 10:15:00 - [31] Originally by: Muul Udonii 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. You've been listening to the same TS chatter as I have. Originally by: CCP Navigator Great story but you probably want this in CAOD so feel free to post there with your main.
Avernus Gallente Imperium Technologies Sodalitas XX	Posted - 2010.11.10 10:27:00 - [32] I've always wanted to be in a fight against a bunch of guys named on variations of 'Primary' and 'Secondary' Primary is Secondary.... wut?

You know, if they introduce namechanging for PLEX you will have "13432452 is Primary, 12342134 Secondary"
Tom Sasaki	Posted - 2010.11.10 10:45:00 - [35] Well I still remember a FC targetcalling dix normeus and nobody laughing.

You know, if they introduce namechanging for PLEX you will have "13432452 is Primary, 12342134 Secondary" I can also see everyone whose name starts with A or Z quickly changing as well
Alain Kinsella Minmatar	Posted - 2010.11.10 11:04:00 - [37] Originally by: Makenshi Drakonnen I can also see everyone whose name starts with A or Z quickly changing as well If you're mostly involved in combat, maybe. Other roles (including mining/trade), probably not. [And yes, I've thought about this a lot after seeing myself always at (or near) top of Local. I have another char in the mid-range letters which is more focused to combat.]
Grigo 4S Corporation Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2010.11.10 11:17:00 - [38] Edited by: Grigo on 10/11/2010 11:17:56 Originally by: Autaris Valaar www.random.org i loled :) - filter overview by ship classes ( bs(opt logi) , capital , bc &hac(opt logi), dic &hic , support) - to bad ccp removed the option to add more then 5 overview tabs i used to have 8 :( - arrange by type or a-z or distance depending on what range is the hostile blob, if u are fc and how u can find targets faster - targets are called and repeated also brodcasted multiple times "<pilot name> in a <ship name> primary / secundary brodcasted" as mentioned above 1k battles are more about beating ccp then the opponent , turn based at that level whit 1-2 min++++ delay on module activation/lock , grid load , warps, and so on , for non supper rf node. at 2k+ we post primary on forum ;) RO Originally by: Avernus ...some kudos to using your main to post like an asshat though... doesn't really take balls though, you're on the internet.

Antihrist Pripravnik 4S Corporation Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2010.11.10 11:44:00 - [40] Originally by: Tobias Sjodin 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. FCs are overrated. Who's listening to them anyway.
Aralyn Cormallen Wraith.Wing Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2010.11.10 12:22:00 - [41] Originally by: Makenshi Drakonnen I can also see everyone whose name starts with A or Z quickly changing as well There really should be a warning during character creation if you pick a name starting with A, letting you know that you really should think again if you intend to ever pvp
Muul Udonii Minmatar THORN Syndicate Controlled Chaos	Posted - 2010.11.10 12:23:00 - [42] Originally by: Illwill Bill You've been listening to the same TS chatter as I have. It's why we're winning. ...when we do it right.

That, or solid strings of letters of varying length.
thatbloke Gallente	Posted - 2010.11.10 12:52:00 - [44] Originally by: Chribba 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! You leave my alt out of this :( Originally by: CCP Shadow I think we'd be better off with a troll shard.

That, or solid strings of letters of varying length. Well they could have someone check ya know. For a plex each, it would be worth it for the first few months to pay one person to check all the name changes. Then when the number of requests declines, move it over to a queue that GMs will get to at low priority. At $15 a pop it would be worth it. The Real Space Initiative - V6 (Forum Link)

Spurty Caldari D00M. Northern Coalition.	Posted - 2010.11.10 13:39:00 - [48] having a character named "Who" has to win: FC Who is primary! Fleet? ?? You tell us FC Who fleet who do you want us to shoot? FC yes fleet's brains melt Hoppit!
Tom Sasaki	Posted - 2010.11.10 13:40:00 - [49] Really depends on the ammount of FCs and targetcallers available, but it does occasionally go back to "sort by distance"
TimMc Brutal Deliverance Extreme Prejudice.	Posted - 2010.11.10 13:41:00 - [50] Originally by: Lex Alandar 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. Yeah this pretty much. Primary and secondary FC will be loading grid, the frist enemy will drop quick but then 90% of your fleet will be stuck on autorepeat. From then on your damage is crap and loads of people complaining.
Pistonbroke The Wretched. Northern Coalition.	Posted - 2010.11.10 13:43:00 - [51] I had an alt by the name of SUM1 once... other options unlikley to be called or causing humorous effects can include names like: Random Targets (causes confusion) Sykopathic Tendancies (causes people to look in the wrong area on the overview (if they can spell)) War Pout (can cause nervous pvpers to run) Doc Cup (similar to War pout) I1lb8g00XtL0 (impossible to proniounce, hard to find) Of course, CCPs long standing dumbing down of eve now means that people can just click target at the top of the broadcasts list, or wait for the target to pop up at the top of the overview, meaning that these guys will once again have a similar chance to the rest of us once called in a huge laggy fleet battle --- i.e. not much
Douchie McNitpick Money Liberation Services Corp	Posted - 2010.11.10 13:53:00 - [52] You do not "call" primaries in post-dom fights with more than 300 people. You either make a word guessing game out of it using a public whiteboard, or you just stare very threatening and angrily at your enemy until they give up and log off. It's not like your guns would do any damage anyways.
Brian Ballsack	Posted - 2010.11.10 13:54:00 - [53] Edited by: Brian Ballsack on 10/11/2010 13:55:05 Who cares what he says, just shoot stuff.
Daedalus II	Posted - 2010.11.10 15:05:00 - [54] Originally by: Douchie McNitpick You do not "call" primaries in post-dom fights with more than 300 people.

It's not like your guns would do any damage anyways. So instead of trying to fight on a lagged out node you should all get together (enemies and friendlies) on the same voice-server and then duke it out with insults and counter-insults, Guybrush Threepwood style! "You fight like a dairy farmer." "I am rubber, you are glue!"
Ferdio Ricotez Gallente	Posted - 2010.11.10 15:29:00 - [55] I guess you could just roll a dice. Good luck finding a D1000 though. ----- EVE Pixelart
Kezzle	Posted - 2010.11.10 17:07:00 - [56] Originally by: Ferdio Ricotez I guess you could just roll a dice. Good luck finding a D1000 though. Just roll 3D10, same principle as D100...

Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar The Python Cartel. The Jerk Cartel	Posted - 2010.11.10 22:49:00 - [59] Would have named myself Secondary but it was already taken Would've made for some good confusion in a fleet fight. "Secondary is primary!" "What?" Originally by: Xen Gin Originally by: FOl2TY8 I know that some people like to have voluntary periods of abstinence. Yeah, I use that excuse too.
Yuki Kulotsuki	Posted - 2010.11.10 22:56:00 - [60] Originally by: About Mesale Originally by: Kezzle Originally by: Ferdio Ricotez I guess you could just roll a dice. Good luck finding a D1000 though. Just roll 3D10, same principle as D100... Errrr, no. That's not how dice work. Old gamer technique. Roll one for each decimal point. 1d10 x100 + 1d10 x10 + 1d10. It's more common for d% systems but the same principle. Originally by: CCP Lemur THIS IS GOD: ... IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE REQUESTS I'M AVAILABLE SUNDAY FROM 10:30 TO 12:00 TO RECEIVE YOUR PRAYERS.
