    What does today’s fleet comp tend to look like?

     

    1 Claymore (primary command booster)
    0-1 Claymore or Vulture (secondary command booster)
    1-4 Basilisks (ideally 2)
    0-5 Scimitars (ideally 2)
    0-3 Lokis (ideally 2 with Savior implants)
    some Vindicators (ideally 2-3, but sometimes we have zero and sometimes we have ten)
    a bunch of Marauders (Kronos, Paladin, and Vargur)
    a few starter and intermediate battleships, depending on how many newbro pilots we have
    0-2 Golems (if we have die hard missile pilots)
    If we have any armor doctrine ships:
    1 Damnation/Eos/Astarte (with armor command boosts)
    1-2 Nestors

    WTM fleets tend to be USTZ fleets. Review the Discord #fleet-pings channel to see when we've been running.

    The Incursion focus is down at the moment; there will be a post in #incursion-status when it spawns.

    Read the Travel Safety guide: 

     

    Review the guides in #guides-and-fleet-status channel.

    1. Generally, yes. The number of fleets per day is fewer because we have fewer players overall. And the recent CCP chat calamity has kinda put the brakes on fleets for a moment -- it turns out that it is very hard to run a fleet without fleet chat (whodathunkit?!)

    2. Any of the three starter battleships would be appropriate for you (they're all DPS boats). If the skills for the weapon system were a factor (not for you) then I'd recommend the Hyperion since it is hybrids like the Vindicator for which you're aiming.

    3. The upgrade points are:
    a. Intermediate or Optimal Hull 20 hrs. That means we want you in a Vindicator (an optimal hull) at that point.
    b. Tech II guns + Deadspace (X-type) MWD + Faction Damage Mods at 65 hrs
    c. Optimal Fits on either an Intermediate or Optimal Hull at 80 hrs. See fits page for optimal fits.

    4. See above. Get out of the starter hull by 20 hrs.

    5. Most of that communication would be via in-game or Discord messages.

    Regarding moving (like from focus to a market hub, or from the last focus to the next focus), look for me (MDD Teller and MDD Feynman) in the WTM Incursions channel. I frequently have better travel routes than what autopilot offers. And these become increasingly more important the more expensive your ship becomes.

    There's not a bigger rush than slamming 8 reps on a hard switch in a TCRC and watching your target go from low HP to full instantly.  

    Try overheating AB to burn towards an out-of-position Marauder who's drawn aggro. And you're the only logi even vaguely getting close to "in range". Pucker factor.

    So i need trusted logi to get the t3, nice i will need to fly more often then 

    Sometimes pilots don't understand why WTM requires "Trusted Logi" badge to fly the Loki. The reason is because the Loki is counted as one-and-a-half logistics ships (or more if it's a pilot with Savior implants).That means that a bad logi pilot who is in a Loki could be even more catastrophic to the fleet than a bad logi pilot in a Basi or Scimi. So when people ask "what do I need to do to get Trusted Logi?", they generally get a response like "impress us". That isn't WTM being snooty. It means literally "show us that you're not merely 'adequate' at logi, but that you really are good at logi".

    I agree with Kate. (I know; I was shocked, too.)

    It's a bit analogous to asking what's better: water or beer? The answer entirely depends upon the context. If you want to host a party, I'd say "beer". But if you're trying to put out a forest fire, I'd have to go with "water".

    Since this question is usually posed by folks considering getting into logistics (and trying to decide which to start with), and since Blackbeard says they already have both ships, I kinda want to know what the purpose is for them posing the question.
