Communication Notes
A good communication is urgently needed for a protective measure. Therefore, read carefully what you have to consider in case of a call for help.
Mumble Channel: Root > Test Alliance Please Refer All Questions To Our Lawyers > Fleet Channels > Standing Fleet > Fleet Members From Here you will join the channel most relevant to your activity, most likely, you will join DPS.
After you have called for help, speak up on Comms and report all needed information. The SF uses the TEST Alliance Mumble Server Channel Group called Standing Fleet. Make sure you use your Local key and get the attention of the people present in the channel! It is not a problem to interrupt active conversations for that. Please use your global key only for emergencies! If you feel that no one is responding, you can also make an additional emergency call in Alliance or TEST Intel Chat!
Make sure you have the info DDFC needs to your rescue ready to be sent before you are exposed to possible danger. Here is a template of a @JUNIOR FC ping:
* @everyone Rorquals tackled (01101) * Fleet: <Region> Standing * System: WX-6UX * Anom: Colossal * Comms: Fleet 10 (will move as needed) * Cyno: Fit not active * PANIC: Fit not active * Tank Status: [Holding] * Dscan: (provide link) * Enemy alliance: (VOLTA, goons, etc.)
Procedure for tackled Rorquals
- Scoop your Mining Drones
- Use your Recon Ship to light a Cyno
- Make sure you are on comms (read communication notes from above)
- Activate the Panic Mode if needed
- Ping @Junior FC in Discord as soon as possible
- Report to FCs what is tackling you and number of hostiles in local
- Follow the instructions on comms

Once you're saved, use the Jump feature straight to a safe cyno. Do not warp within the system as long bubbles or enemy players could be in the system!
Useful communication tools
Quote from Cornak Firefist > Much like with fleet bosses, comms is not like an ordinary standing fleet. The absolute focus is on being alert for drops, if someone speaks up about anything, intel, drops, being tackled, whatever, shut up. Don't be talking about random shit when we're dropping a trillion isk onto the field. That's a classic dick move. If someone yells check, stop talking. Intel, stop talking. Any questions, anything about the fleet, stop talking. If you want to talk the whole time, just sit in bacon bar and hop over to Fleet 6 when you get tackled. Also, on a related note, use your whisper keys unless it's critical info like drops or whatever. This is still a fleet comms channel, there's literally no reason not to use your whisper key. People who want to only hear key stuff relevant to the fleet are in the subchannels, they don't want to hear about how tiny your dick is or whatever you're on about. Just because it's not a pinged fleet doesn't mean you should forget everything you've ever known about mumble.
