This is an old revision of the document!
A new age of group PVE is upon us and this guide will serve as a brief primer on how to get in fleet, be effective, and most importantly make profit from the most pointy region of space. These fleets can vary in how they operate depending on the corp running them so this guide is written to be very general and is only intended as a crash course.
The fleet comp is typically 9 DPS, 4 Logi, and 2 Links Boats for running the actual site along with other ships to ensure their security. The supporting cast includes shuttle scouts, dictors, and combat alts in smaller ships.
Please note that the fits used and sites run are mildly sp intensive and require pilots to be well acquainted with most aspects of fleet operations. This is NOT newbro oriented PVE.
Pochven, aka Trig Space, is an area of New Eden that is accessible through consumables called filaments that “yeet” you in and out and have 15 minute timers between uses. It is essentially <redacted> with gates, you do not show up in local unless you speak and you cannot jump clone in or out. Currently Horde has allowed us access to their Fortizar in Skarkon, one of the handful of player owned structures that exist in the region.
Having shuttle scouts and dictor alts watching gates in Pochven is CRITCAL! If you have more than one account you should at least be bringing shuttle scouts as there is no excuse not to. There is also a need for smaller combat ships like caracals, primarily for clearing hostile dictors attempting to slow the fleet. While multiboxing is encouraged on these fleets you should not multibox logi.
Forming quickly with the right ships is imperative to a successful krab run. There is heavy competition for these sites and baddies love to gank these highly visible fleets so keeping time from ping to site completion low is crucial. The majority of the following directions are written with this in mind.
If you intend to do Poch Fleets, have your shit ready.
Enable the FC to figure out asap if he has the numbers and fleet comp to go.
As of Nov 2021, the following are the go to fits for Poch fleets

Observatory Flashpoints are the usual sites. For a fleet of 6 to 15 they payout around 230 million isk per pilot and include Trig dreadnaught related loot.
