=====Basilisk LC===== The Basilisk LC (Basi LC), is a very important role. You have a few responsibilities and this guide will outline all of the things you have to do. You do not need any special skill points, or special assets to be the Basilisk LC however, you should be a good Basilisk pilot. ====Basilisk LC Responsibilities==== * Keep the cap chain stable * Maintain the number of Combat Caps the FC wants * Keep an eye on new Basilisk pilots, give them tips. ====Keeping the Cap Chain Stable==== The **Cap Chain** is a crucial part of our fleets. We need cap to counter [[Outuni Mesen]] and we also need capacitor to help out the Vindicators. The LC is responsible for maintaining the cap chain and make sure that it is stable at all times. First lets go over the basics of __Combat Caps__ ==Combat Caps== Combat Caps refer to how many capacitor transfers are available for use in combat situations. This basically means how many capacitor transfers are available between all the Basis but not used to keep the cap chain up! For example if there are two logi V, basilisks and they are fitted 3-3, they give each other one cap to as part of the combat chain to keep each other cap stable. Therefore if there is a total of six capacitor transfers between the two Basilisks and two are used for the cap chain there are four left over. This means there is four combat caps. ==Combat Cap Requirements== For each site we require the same number of combat caps as possible Outunis. While the technical minimum for some sites is two we prefer to have three to four combat caps at any given time. If you're unsure about having enough combat caps, ask your FC. Try to avoid your team refitting on gates, this can be done at an anchor point. If you have to refit on the gate, check with the FC. ==How to build the cap chain== This is the hardest part of your job! -- Building a Cap Chain. A level V Basilisk needs one incoming cap transfer to be capstable, and a level IV Basilisk needs two incoming cap transfers. To coordinate this typically we get people to cap based on alphabetical order. The person at the bottom of the channel list caps the person above him and so on, with the person at the top capping the person at the bottom. This is called "Capping UP." However we some times have level IV Basilisks in the cap chain so to deal with this we get the person above them to cap the person below them (cap down) as well. To make this easier for pilots we give them instructions in the MOTD. Part of your job is to manage the MOTD, not just cap chain but the roles as well. ==How to maintain the cap chain== As people leave and join the fleet, you will need to update the cap chain so keep an eye on who the logis are in your fleet keep the cap chain stable according to the info above. ==Ensuring the cap chain is stable== It is often a good idea to perform stability checks every once in a while, such as when a new Basilisk joins or one leaves, and at the start of the fleet. This can be done over coms by telling your Basilisks to "Basi confirm stability in basi love" but can also be done in channel, information in the channel MOTD gives you some advice on acronyms to use. <wrap em>If at any point the FC wants to take a gate and you feel the cap chain is not stable or the Basilisks are not ready LET THE FC KNOW.</wrap> Be careful how you do this, going into a site when the Basilisks are not ready has caused pilots to die in the past, but they don't have to be running perfect until Outunis are on grid! Don't tell the FC your not safe if you feel you can get stable and safe before an Outuni wave as this may cause the fleet to sit outside a gate. ====Basilove MOTD==== Almost all parts of your job including maintaining the CAP chain require you to edit the MOTD. To do this, you need operator rights in the channel. If you do not have them when you are taking over as LC ask the active FC or the LC who is leaving fleet to give them to you! Basilove MOTD can be broken into two sections. - Logi Information such as standard procedure for roles, the cap chain etc. - Fleet Information, this includes who the FC is, DDD, AAA and other roles important to the Basilisk team and the cap chain. <WRAP group> <WRAP half column > This section (the fleet information section) is the only part you edit EVER. Always keep the roles up to date with the active pilots who are flying them, please also link them in the channel it is faster for you and it means other logi can right click > add to watch list. Please also keep the cap chain up to date. As you can see here it includes from left to right, the pilot logi level (L5), their fit (3/3 or 4/2) and their name. For more information on formatting the cap chain please read the MOTD! Please also include the number of combat caps down the bottom for easy reference. </WRAP> <WRAP half column > {{:guides:basilovemotd.png?nolink|}} </WRAP> </WRAP> ====How to deal with someone who is in channel but not in fleet==== It is a requirement that only people in fleet are in the channel, all though occasionally an FC may pop in, for the most part if a pilot is in the channel but not in fleet you are within your rights to tell them to leave. If they do not, you may kick them from the channel. If you can not kick them because they have operator rights, please remove their operator rights, kick them and then add their rights back. When kicking someone set duration to be between 1-5 minutes with reason "not in fleet." Please do not ban anyone indefinitely. ====New Bro Basilisks==== Occasionally you will get a new bro Basilisk. When you do, as the LC you should be keeping an extra eye on this pilot making sure he/she is safe, working properly. Don't be afraid to give him/her information he needs via basilove and/or coms.
