Jinx De'Caire [Standing Fleet Etiquette]

 ===== Standing Fleet ===== ===== Standing Fleet =====
  
-Standing Fleet is a specific fleet which, barring disconnects, is active at all times in Brave space. Standing Fleet is akin to a lobby but also acts as a defense force and an area to "stand" ready to fight or to interact with fellow Brave members. Standing Fleet is the first place any new member should visit both on comms and in-game in order to ask questions and be helped to access the various starter programs that Brave offers. Whenever you are online and doing things around our staging systems (mining, ratting, gate camps) you should join the standing fleet to have company and potential help. +Standing Fleet is a specific fleet which, barring disconnects, is active at all times in Brave space.

 Since Standing is a relaxed fleet you are not expected to wait around for enemies to appear, having said that if you are in Standing Fleet and nearby it really helps if you do respond, even in a frigate. Once the intel has been given and you see the ''xxx'' in fleet you should undock and warp to the person who "dropped the X's". If in doubt please ask on comms and someone will help you get in the right ship and get to the right place. During the fight and even the warp-in you should closely monitor the Local chat channel. If the player count rises significantly ("spikes") then you should abort the rescue mission. Chances are that the enemy has a large fleet waiting to drop on Standing Fleet in which case it's much better to leave one miner to die than to lose 20. Since Standing is a relaxed fleet you are not expected to wait around for enemies to appear, having said that if you are in Standing Fleet and nearby it really helps if you do respond, even in a frigate.

 +=== Shut the Fuck Up ===
 +This is a previously unwritten etiquette of standing fleet.
 +
 +Standing fleet is often space lobby.  It can be noisy, chaotic, funny, exciting, entertaining, intimidating, or annoying.  Sometimes we all need to remember to shut the fuck up.  This means giving others space to ask for help, or ask for questions.  Strive to explain if you don't know the answer, who may (for instance #dojo in slack) or if you can't try to help someone because they're too far away, let them know that too.
 +
 +If the main channel is too noisy, there are a number of connected channels including the combat and social channels.  If you're looking for just pvp and Intel, feel free to drop down to the combat channel, which you can 'shout' intels to all connected channels.
 +
 +And if you need to debate how tacos are the best food for any meal or other random topic for an extended period, please drop down to the social channel.  You can 'shout' to other channels from here as well.
 +
 +For those who need a quieter experience, the quiet channel is linked for shouting Intel only and with no local chatter.

 ==== Ships and Fittings ==== ==== Ships and Fittings ====
  
 The ideal ships for Standing Fleet are either non-committal (ie giving you the ability to quickly disengage) or relatively cheap. For this reason you should not take anything larger than a Tech 1 cruiser when warping to X's unless you are absolutely sure of the situation you are about to jump in to. Fast frigates and high damage destroyers are excellent ships to use for newer players. The ideal ships for Standing Fleet are either non-committal (ie giving you the ability to quickly disengage) or relatively cheap.

 +Most of these ships and their fittings are not suitable for solo fighting. We recommend consulting another page or resource, or asking on Slack if you're interested in solo ship fittings.
