Scouting Scouting, another essential part of incursions. You usually hear Fleet Commanders talk about them or asking for one. The use of alts for scouting can raise the ISK per hour tremendously, information is a powerful tool. This is a short guide though, as there is not much to say about scouting. Doing it good is important though, so here are some tips on how to scout. Bring a fast ship Something that can warp fast is the best. Something like a frigate works best, get those insta warps to the dockup! Astero is great, cloaky and fast. Interceptors Don't use a corvette! (It's still better than nothing, but slow nonetheless) How to scout The task is simple, tell the fleet commander who is in which site, how far along they are by scanning the site and idealy, you want to tell him/her when the new site spawns too. The tags you should be using are as follows: Tag X = The site occupied by WTM Tag G = The site is occupied by NGA (New Galaxy Age i.e. the Russians, a shield community) Tag D = The site is occupied by TDF (The Ditanian Fleet, i.e. the armor community) Tag C = Clear Tag A = Abandoned, a fleet that warped out of the site to go to another site, therefor abandoning it. (Only tag A if unknown fleet abandoned it) Now to know who is in the site, you should Dscan it and see who is in there and at what point of the site they are at. (Typically Oneiros+Guardian is TDF, Scimitar+Basilisk is NGA). First you Dscan it, then you tag it. Some examples are for a TPPH, Auga and Outuni died in the first room, second room adds up and so does the third room. For a NRF, if or how many Outunis have died. This means they are on the 4th wave and are about to warp out. An extra could be if drones are out or not. Same goes for the TCRC. If all Deltoles and Outuni have died and drones are in, they are about to complete it. Only do this if you are an experienced Scout, but you can also do a quick warp in (make sure they are on the tower) and see the state the tower is in. Without a shield, they are in armor. Quickly warp out again. Last but not least, site timing. A new site can spawn 7 minutes after a beacon despawns. Mark the time in fleet chat when any of the communities have finished a site, you can do the same if our fleet has finished a site. This is very important. Whenever we do a TPPH, the fleet commander can perfectly time a bounce. That's basically it really. Do your best and keep an eye on your own ship, dual boxing can be difficult some times. Have fun!
