New players need not rush into these, but covert ops ships are a good medium-term goal for keen explorers. Covert Ops: together with racial frigate V, this skill unlocks the covert ops ships ( Anathema, Buzzard, Helios and Cheetah).Level V is a step towards covert ops ships. Racial Frigate: Level I is required for the Tech 1 scanning frigate of each faction ( Magnate, Heron, Imicus and Probe) and the strong per-level bonus for scanner probe strength on these hulls make training it to IV worthwhile.Levels II and V allow use of Tech 1 and Tech 2 scan acquisition arrays respectively. This skill is useful for combat scanning, when every second counts, but is not hugely important otherwise. Astrometric Acquisition: 5% reduction in scan time per level.Levels II and V allow use of Tech 1 and Tech 2 scan rangefinding arrays respectively. Astrometric Rangefinding: 5% increase in scan probe strength per level, making it the most important of these skills.Levels II and V allow use of Tech 1 and Tech 2 scan pinpointing arrays respectively. Training high levels of this skill paired with high signal strength will allow you to reduce the scanning radius more aggressively. This skill is especially useful in the early phases of probing and makes life easier.Astrometric Pinpointing: 5% reduction in maximum scan deviation per level.Level IV is the prerequisite for Astrometric Pinpointing and should be a short-term priority for the aspiring explorer. Level I unlocks the Core Probe Launchers and Core Scanner Probes, level II unlocks the Expanded Probe Launchers and the Combat Scanner Probes. Astrometrics: useful bonuses to scan strength(+5%), scan deviation(-5%) and scan time(-5%) per level.
Clicking once will lock the range and allows setting the vertical vector for the movement, a second click will lock the exact target position and the fighter squadron will begin to move to the position that has been set.Sensible preparation in character training and equipment makes probing much easier. Selecting a fighter squadron within the tactical view and then holding the "Q" key will bring up the movement indicator to select the range on the plane of the selected squad. The tactical camera offers a way to give direct movement commands to fighter squadrons to bring them in position without having to target something first. Clicking the button on a detached fighter panel will reattach the panel to the HUD.ĭetaching the fighter panel allows simultaneous use of fighters and modules. Clicking this button detaches the fighter panel from the HUD.Ĭlicking and holding allows positioning of the fighter panel. Recall all fighter squadrons still in space The buttons to the left-hand side of the panel have the following function: Launched fighter squadrons will show buttons to use their abilities, like ship modules. This will replace the module rack of the ship or structure with the fighter panel, showing the fighter squads loaded into each bay. It can be activated by clicking the toggle button to the lower right of the central HUD element: The Fighter Control panel is used to send fighters to attack a target or otherwise use their abilities.
To load fighters into a bay or replenish a landed squad that has lost fighters, the respective fighters are simply dragged to the lower half of the respective fighter bay. They also provide valuable defenses for any structures that offer fighter bays.įighters need to be loaded into a fighter bay to form a squadron before they can be launched into space. Fighters are the main weapon system of Carriers and Super Carriers and provide a wide variety of options for capsuleers piloting such ships.
