To be fair I dont think my piloting that was bad last night I didnt miss a point on anything I could lock, just literally everything else the scouting, the overview settings etc (Theyre borked because I was in a wormhole and just said fuck it and changed all my different overview settings to my PvE settings lol).

Im far from an amazing scout, and this was my first time scouting for anything other than a frigate gang, (The last time I did when I was less than 2 weeks old I ended up probing down a ship warping to a pos and dying to ops guns in a Heron no less lol). I learned quite a bit and I understand why Kwark was vehemently pissed, I just feel a bit panicky in ops when it comes to intell and comms, just like I used to in Nullsec and W-space. I really dont understand the ins and outs of them yet (Yes I probably should but I havent been on a lot of ops)

I hardly got affected by how terrible NC was and only went on a few OPs to see what Nullsec warfare was like for myself I did almost nothing except for exclusively carebear.

Bottom line is I podded myself out of my wormhole to go on ops with you guys to learn what to do.I dont mind being bashed, just stick with me I will suck significantly less in coming weeks(read days?). And Ive been on comms all day trying to help where I can, and im here to learn, besides you dont see me throwing away my arazu due to bad piloting (other than the one failed and 2nd ever gatecrash lol).

I'm not paying a fine on my Noctis, for the following reason: Once I click the station and hit "dock", there is approximately fuckall I can do.

I saw Kwark's warning maybe 30 seconds late and hit dock. Then I died about 45 seconds after that. Nothing could be done.

For fleet compositions keep in mind that as soon as you want to do proper fights while being outnumbered you need a concept and FC that CONCEPT - not the actual fleet. e.g. a fleet with drake/cane/BBs either needs the BBs to be shieldbuffered and nano'd so they don't turn slower than drakes or the whole fleet to be commanded around as if it was only Blackbirds.[/quote
Totally wrong. While themed gangs are good, most of the time a competent (key word here) full short-range t2 fit BC gang will be able to 'win the isk war' against anything up to 2v1 odds (assuming no logistics on the other side, though that's not necessarily a dealbreaker. You'll need clever abuse of gate mechanics to make it work though).

That is weird though...it happens to me every now and then. Click dock, you warp to station and you end up waiting about 15 seconds before you finally dock. :/

I thought clicking dock before warp = automatic warp at 0, dock instantly.

I was in a mission, so I had to turn and align and speed up. Noctises do not do this quickly (takes about 30 seconds to align and start warping from rfap to Ammold gate, and the stations were all behind my Noctis). I linked from my other account AFTER I hit dock on the first.

You won't hold the field, and 90% of the time will die in a fire, but make sure to primary recons > hacs > hurricanes and you should do relatively well. Hurricanes should murder targets of opportunity (bad inties and AFs).

The FC cannot, and should not, dictate everything. While flying anything it is a must to think of what you will do in hypothetical situations. Even something as simple as spread point requires thought as to what would be the most effective use of modules.

PS. You might think about getting rid of crutches like logistics. In the long term, due to the fact that they are so damn good, they cover up other deficiencies in gangs that could be improved on easier.

Edit: Pahndahs scouting is too high level for most people. He keeps the FC happy, the fleet entertained and is competent when he has to. I prefer a flashgaming scout who tells me shit about his scanning around for nightmares who's alert when he needs to over some random dude who doesn't really know when his attention is needed but gives too much information at the risk of everyone falling asleep. =P
