Pochven Krab Fleets and You
aka we aren't filamenting your Atron
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. You do NOT need any standings to be able to go on the fleets.
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 literally just started playing Eve a week ago oriented PVE.
"Eff See what is a Poch Ven?"
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.
Best Practices
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.
- Have a clone ready to go in a Poch fleet staging (T0DT, Jita)
- Have a properly fit ship in a Poch fleet staging or in the Pochven Fortizar
- Ensure you have enough irl time to do the run, it really sucks when someone has to drop out after the fleet yeets as we are doing tough sites with small numbers
Enable the FC to figure out asap if he has the numbers and fleet comp to go.
- Upon joining the fleet immediately move yourself to the right wing (DPS, LOGI, etc) by right clicking your name in the fleet window
- Keep utility alts OUT of the fleet until fc states he has the numbers, this includes but is not limited to scouts, dictors, probers
- Once the fleet is green lit make sure all pilots are in fleet and warp yourself to the fc to filament
