We invite you to join us for atmospheric combat flight training.
In this training session, we'll be trialling a new shipment of distortion weapons in non-lethal combat training.
[ All ships engaging in combat training must be equipped with distortion weapons ]
Having arrived at the theatre of operations pilots will be paired up into two's with one being the ace and the other the chaser.
On the green light, the aces will proceed to fly to the designated destination while the chaser attempts to reduce their shield to zero as many times as possible. Upon arrival, the roles will be reversed and the chase will continue on the return journey with the same objectives.
Mission & Roles:
- Flight Lead ( the "Ace" )
The Ace's mission is to tactically avoid incoming distortion fire using the environment and flight manoeuvres while reaching the destination.
- Combat Pilot
Pilots in this role if equipped with distortions are free to engage the ace when given the green light, their mission is to pursue the "Ace" and reduce their shields to zero through sustained fire as many times as possible before the Ace reaches their destination.
- Medic ( Optional )
Medic would be tasked with landing a carrack with pisces at the designated theatre of operations.
Participants would all set their regen point before commencing combat training.
In the event of a casualty, the medic would transport the pilot from the carrack to retrieve a new ship.
During the flight training, the medic can join the chase as an observer so as not to jeopardise their medical role.
- Industrial ( Optional )
Atmospheric flight training in light fighters is thirsty on fuel and there will be an opportunity to practice refuelling if the assets are available and the crew are willing.
Ships & Loadout:
- Light fighters only.
- S1, S2 & S3 distortion weapons only.
- Fixed weapons mode only.
Preparations:
- Multiple test runs of this operation are scheduled to take place during the week.
- Join us to discuss the operation and have your questions answered.
- Communications will take place on Discord in the Round Table channel.
