[17:08] <MHajoha[drillspatch]> !clear 7
[17:08] <&DrillSqueak[BOT]> Case Stinja[damsel] got cleared!
[17:09] <%ABish> ((remember, please debrief here, not in game))
[17:09] <Stinja[damsel]> how do I pay you guys?
[17:09] <AceofAces> Stinja, how much fuel do you have? Full?
[17:09] <MHajoha[drillspatch]> Stinja[damsel], glad we could help you today. You can power your modules back up now. If you'll just stick with your rats ingame for a bit, they have some advice which might interest you.
[17:09] <AceofAces> Glad we could help today. I will debrief you now, if you have time for some pointers.
[17:09] <Stinja[damsel]> oh I never turned stuff off
[17:10] <Stinja[damsel]> yeah I have time, thank you I have lots of fuel lnow
[17:10] <Stinja[damsel]> now
[17:10] <AceofAces> Excellent!
[17:10] <AceofAces> Do you know what a fuel scoop is, Stinja?
[17:11] <Stinja[damsel]> yeah I have one equipped
[17:11] <AceofAces> Ok, perfect.
[17:11] <AceofAces> There is a way that you can plot your route and make sure that you get to a star which you can scoop. Allow me to explain....
[17:12] <AceofAces> In your nav panel (left side) and enter your galaxy map...
[17:13] <AceofAces> when it's open, press R1 3 times and select 'map' in that menu
[17:13] * %Bearded_Villain[PC] (Bearded_Vi@beardedvillain.overseer.fuelrats.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[17:14] <Stinja[damsel]> ok done that
[17:14] <AceofAces> To filter by star type, navigate down to the top of the 'filters' section and select thefilter type of 'star class'
[17:14] <Stinja[damsel]> oh wow I never knew that was there
[17:14] <AceofAces> right under 'show by color'
[17:15] <AceofAces> Now, we have an acronym that can help you to remember the letter type of stars that are scoopable....
[17:15] <AceofAces> It is: KGBFOAM. Or The first 7 stars on this list are scoopable stars.
[17:16] <AceofAces> Now, this system is hardly perfect, so when in doubt and half low on fuel, double check to make sure that the next star you jump to is on that list.
[17:16] <Stinja[damsel]> oh ok
[17:17] <AceofAces> You can see if a system has a scoopable star by overing over it's map node.
[17:17] <AceofAces> 'STAR CLASS:'
[17:17] <AceofAces> Better safe than sorry, I always say.
[17:17] <AceofAces> Is all of this understood?
[17:18] <Stinja[damsel]> umm kinda.  so look at map for the top 7 stars to scoop from?
[17:18] <AceofAces> Are there any questions that you have?
[17:18] <Stinja[damsel]> yeah how do I pay you?
[17:19] <AceofAces> LOL, no need for payment. We are here to help. All we ask is that you try to remember these instructions for next time. ;)
[17:19] <Stinja[damsel]> ok cool, do I just go now then?
[17:19] <AceofAces> Yes, oh, once you have selected only the first 7 stars from that list, scroll down and click on the 'apply to filter' button
[17:20] <Stinja[damsel]> oh ok, I hadntt done that
[17:20] <AceofAces> then that will apply that selection to your route.
[17:20] <Stinja[damsel]> so i'm going to Maia which will be great now
[17:20] <AceofAces> Would you like an escort to the nearest station?
[17:21] <Stinja[damsel]> no I should be ok I think
[17:21] <%ABish> ------ DRILL END ------
[17:21] <%ABish> So how do you think you did?
[17:21] <Stinja[damsel]> this is great though, I would be dead I suppose otherwise?
[17:21] <AceofAces> You sure? Ok, I'm glad I could help you today. Safe journey Commander o7
[17:21] <Stinja[damsel]> o7 ;)
[17:22] <AceofAces> DB +
[17:22] <%ABish> AceofAces so how do you think you did?
[17:23] <AceofAces> I think I did, ok.
[17:23] <AceofAces> However.....
[17:23] <AceofAces> I need to script that much shorter and simpler
[17:23] <AceofAces> I gave way too much information too quickly....
[17:24] <AceofAces> In addition, I needed to double check the client's position when in the wing first thing
[17:25] <%ABish> ok. let's start from the beginning...
[17:25] <AceofAces> Sure
[17:26] <%ABish> first off, when you couldn't find the system "deciet" (because the client meant deciat), you said "sysconfig-"
[17:27] <AceofAces> ok
[17:27] <%ABish> sysconf is short for system confirmed, not config.
[17:27] <AceofAces> wooops.
[17:27] <%ABish> and it's normally only used when the client is in the wrong system, not when you can't find a system
[17:27] <%ABish> you'd just say "can't find system" or something like that
[17:27] <AceofAces> ok
[17:28] <%ABish> you didn't notice that the client was in solo until dispatch asked you to check.
[17:28] <AceofAces> right...
[17:28] <%ABish> it's a good idea to get into the habit of checking as soon as you get their friend request. that way you can see if they're in solo or a private group quickly
[17:29] <AceofAces> got it
[17:29] <%ABish> that'll also show you if their system is different from the one they've said. which again, you were quite slow to catch
[17:29] <AceofAces> yes...
[17:30] <%ABish> you can also see their location on the galaxy map as soon as you're friends
[17:30] <%ABish> when you did arrive in their system, you said bc+ correctly, but were quite slow in saying how far away it was
[17:31] <AceofAces> right
[17:32] <%ABish> and when you did drop on the beacon, you were slow in firing your limpets. you don't need to be facing the client, just target them and fire as soon as you drop. turning around can wait.
[17:32] <AceofAces> Ok
[17:32] * %Falcon_JSDF (MainUser@falconjsdf.overseer.fuelrats.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[17:33] <%ABish> and finally. you didn't spot that our damsel never prepped as they were told to. as soon as you're in a wing with them, you can see their shields at the top of the screen. if they're on, then they're wasting fuel, and you should say "prep-"
[17:34] <AceofAces> Ah ok.
[17:34] <AceofAces> gotcha
[17:34] <%ABish> Does our lovely damsel Stinja[damsel] have any more comments to make? Or our dispatch MHajoha[drillspatch]?
[17:34] <AceofAces> Wow, I missed more than I thought.
[17:34] <Stinja[damsel]> I think you covered most stuff, my notes:
[17:35] <Stinja[damsel]> on PS4 as soon as you FR you can check their status
[17:35] <Stinja[damsel]> press Options button, then friends and groups and see if their Mode
[17:35] <Stinja[damsel]> also you can go up to comms panel, 2nd tab and instantly check their system before WR
[17:36] <MHajoha[drillspatch]> ^
[17:36] <MHajoha[drillspatch]> One other thing maybe: AceofAces, did you use NavLock to drop on Stinja[damsel]
[17:36] <AceofAces> I did
[17:36] <Stinja[damsel]> it seemed slow, but I was by 2 stars...
[17:36] <Stinja[damsel]> ditto prep info,
[17:36] <Stinja[damsel]> once you WR you can see their syste under their name, with shields up/down and hull
[17:37] <Stinja[damsel]> system
[17:37] <MHajoha[drillspatch]> Good AceofAces, then I rest my case :P
[17:37] <AceofAces> Understood.
[17:37] <Stinja[damsel]> as ABish said, you can fire limpet at max range (1.2 for 1A) which is good for Cod3 r3d
[17:37] <AceofAces> This helped me a lot.
[17:37] <AceofAces> I'm gonna want to do another one again soon.
[17:37] <Stinja[damsel]> also do not fire excessive limpets
[17:38] <Stinja[damsel]> you well over fuelled me,
[17:38] <AceofAces> So fire, maybe 3 max?
[17:38] <Stinja[damsel]> after getting 1 (one) limpet off (to stop o2) I would check "sub-targets" and see if they have a scoop
[17:38] <AceofAces> Right, I forgot about the sub targets
[17:38] <Stinja[damsel]> then depending on ship size fire (total) 2-4
[17:39] <AceofAces> Ok.
[17:39] <Stinja[damsel]> then ask if that's enough to get somewhere safe

[17:39] <%ABish> OK then AceofAces, please remember the comments we've made here, and that this is a learning experience. I'm afraid you have not passed this drill, but I'm sure you'll ace your next one ;)
[17:39] <Stinja[damsel]> also you did not *explicitly* tell me to uncheck the none KGBFOAM stars
[17:39] <AceofAces> Would you recommend that I wait to take on more real cases until I've done more drills?
[17:39] <Stinja[damsel]> non-KGBFOAM
