[CLOSED] PVP-SKIRMISHING February 28th @ 19:00 Eve time

Enrollment will open on Sunday, February 9th @ 18:00 Eve time

While they are not always unsung heroes, interceptor pilots are often regarded as "just tackle". While the value of even "just tackle" might still be debatable (no fights without proper tackling), in Agony we use interceptors for more than pure tackling - we call the role "Skirmishing" and consider it a highly valued, specialized fleet role. Combining scouting, tackling and "provoking fights," a skirmisher's responsibility goes beyond "just a tackler" or "just a scout" and can be one of the most entertaining and challenging roles in a fleet if you are the type for it. Skirmishers bring unparalleled value to nearly all gang types, but especially in a small-to-medium sized gangs. Skilled skirmishers enjoy more independence than any other fleet member out there and can be the difference between awesome fights and no kills at all. While skirmishers might not get onto most killmails, you can be the one that creates battles (by finding/holding targets) or saves the fleet. 

The role of skirmisher may not require a lot of skill points, but it can take lots of player skill to actually get into it. If you enjoy small-to-medium size gangs, fast zooming ships that require a lot of situational awareness and independent decision making, the life as a skirmisher might be for you!

 
CLASS OVERVIEW: Please be sure you read all the required reading.  The core topics this class will be covering are:

  • Objective and Role of Skirmishing
  • Ship requirements/strengths, fittings
  • Recon Reporting
  • Dscanner
  • Spiraling
  • One-on-one practice tackling
  • Live skirmishing during big roam!

IMPORTANT! CLASS PREREQUISITES:

  • You must be a PVP-BASIC and PVP-WOLFPACKS alumni. 
  • You must be able to fly a T2 Interceptor
  • You should have a basic familiarity with your interceptor already, having flown it a bit, tackled a bit. We don't expect you to be an expert already surpassing your teachers, of course!
  • You must be able to attend BOTH DAYS, both the class day AND the roam day. If you cannot attend the roam, please do NOT enroll for this class session. You will not be considered a graduate of this class if you cannot attend the roam.

  • You are expected to read all of the Skirmishing articles prepared for this class on our Wiki
  • Class takes place in nullsec, the potential exists for fights, kills, ship losses and poddings, so make sure your clone is up-to-date and not too expensive.
  • Before the class day, you will be sent a private message on this forum with the nullsec solar system this class will take place in. Check this forum for the private message a day or two after enrolled!
  • You will need to have 3 interceptors plus a cruiser of your choice in the class system before the class starts. You may move your ships yourself, or Agony can move them for you. Details on this will be sent to you in the private message sent to you on this forum.

That's why I am sad. Was too excited to read...*facepalm*

Looking forward to the next one (whenever that is) for sure.
