First Fleet Setup
Before you fly incursions for the first time you should check the following settings are configured:
| General Settings (Esc Menu > Gameplay) |
|
|---|---|
| Setting: | |
| Auto Target Back | 0 Targets |
| Auto Reject Invitations | Checked |
| Disable Emergency Fleet Warp | Unchecked |
| Ship Health Alerts (located in the hamburger menu next to the capacitor) |
|
|---|---|
| Setting: | |
| Shield / Armour / Structure | 95% |
| Capacitor | 30% |
Pilots created before 2015 may need to set their CSPA charge to 0.
Joining a Fleet
You are not allowed to fly if your corporation or alliance is at war, you are enlisted in Faction Warfare or you have a killright against you.
Make sure you have a Doctrine Fit and move to the dock up listed in our in-game channel “Contingency Incursions”. We announce fleets in the #pings channel on our Discord Server. When you want to join a fleet jump on TeamSpeak (contingencyinc.com) and x-up your fit on the waitlist.
When the FC invites you to the fleet, read the MOTD and set up your watchlist.
The MOTD will list your:
- FC (“fleet commander”)
- DDD (light drone bunny)
- HHHs (heavy drone bunnies)
- MTAC and Meat Shield
You should add your FC and the pilots with relevant fleet roles to your watchlist - logistics pilots add all of logi squad.
SRP Program
We offer a Ship Replacement Program (SRP). At the bottom of the fleet MOTD is a link for the SRP corporation Contingency SRP. Paying 15,000,000 Isk (15 million) to the corporation will cover you for deaths caused by FC or by logi error until downtime (11:00UTC). For full terms and conditions please see the corporation description.
SRP is optional but highly recommended.
Broadcasts
| Broadcast for | When |
|---|---|
| Armour | • Targeted (aka Yellow Boxed) by incursion rats |
| Shield | • Targeted by trolls 1) or • When you are targeted by rats and still in bastion 2) |
| Capacitor | • You need capacitor except for when Outunis are on the grid unless you have the Outuni aggro |
We recommend you have colour-coded fleet broadcasts to help them stand out. If you do not have colour-coded broadcasts click the “Broadcast Settings” link in our in-game channel MOTD.
Align-To Broadcasts
Fleet Commanders will use “Align-To” and/or “Warp-To” broadcasts. When you see an align to broadcast turn your propmod off and align to it. Do not warp until the FC calls for it.
Kill Order / Targets
We use tags to prioritise the kill order. CQC/DPS ships (close range) shoot numbers (1-9), and snipers shoot letters (A-I).
Do not shoot rats tagged as X unless the FC tells you to!
Your overview should be set up for incursions. If you have a generic overview click the “incursion overview” link in the MOTD of our in-game channel.
Catching up with the Fleet
Whenever you need to catch up with the fleet do the following:
- Warp to the FC listed in the MOTD
- When you land, keep warping to the FC until you see the error message “Natural phenomena is disrupting the warp”
- Align down the gate and ask for “Gate Status”. The FC will respond with
- “GREEN” - you have 10 seconds to take the gate
or
- “RED” - it is not safe to take the gate, wait 30 seconds and ask again
If you Disconnect (DC) from Eve
Do not login to Eve without asking FC for permission. Ask on TeamSpeak using voice or text chat.
