Don’t worry too much about major battles on weekdays when everyone can’t be on
Being intimately close to how to pilot your own ship really is the difference between 1337 and n00b. In fact, as I’ll explain RuneScape Gold later, group leaders don’t have to be people that have 23million skill point Gunnery concentrated characters. Also keep in mind that a variety of time zones is recommended.
Don’t worry too much about major battles on weekdays when everyone can’t be on as this rarely happens with any meaningful amount of force.
Most real war happens on weekends, and that means that people on the other side of the globe usually won’t mind staying up a few more hours to be in a good fight.
At the paramount importance of effective group tactics is communication. This for most means a team-speak server or the like.
I personally won’t fly with anyone who doesn’t have a VoIP server. When organizing players in roles some steps should be taken to carry that over to your VoIP server. Currently the best I’ve seen is where people organize themselves in a general region of space...
That’s nice and whatever but a suggested alternative, and much smoother would be to give each group/squad/patrol whatever a separate channel. Using team-speak as an example you might give commanders channel admin over their own channel so they can add their location to the title when necessary.
