If you want to fly a capital ship in fleets, you must be in the correct Capital group. See the WinCo discord "how-to-join-capital-groups" for instructions about how to do this.
To learn about Winter Coalition doctrines, check this ingame channel: FRT-Doctrines
This will show you the fits for each ship and each doctrine.
Be sure to include any implant requirements (this will be listed as "capsule")
Near the top of the channel you will see a link for skill plans. This is very useful to help you efficiently train what you need.
Try to have at least one ship you can fly in your hanger for each doctrine. For frequently used doctrines, more then one ship is better.
Set up push to talk keys for fleets in Mumble (required for fleets): http://i.imgur.com/KRcwhlc.gif This will allow you to talk in your current channel only. (Shows yellow icon). To talk to FC channel in a fleet use the Push-to-Talk shortcut key (shows blue icon)
Watch the WC & Friends discord channel for pings, which will provide information about fleets you can join.
Your participation in the fleet will be recorded automatically.
Check with your CEO for details about the fleet requirements for your corp.
When You are in A Fleet
Key things to remember when you are in a fleet:
Check your ship before undocking (insured, escape bay, ammo, rigs in, etc) and implants.
Reduce distractions in your environment when you are in a fleet. Listen carefully for FC commands such as "align", "anchor", "jump", and "lock target"
Check the MOTD when you join the fleet before you ask questions.
Do not interrupt the FC
Anchor up quickly and stay that way – do not drift away from the fleet. Be sure your prop mod is on when you are told.
Have shortcut key set for broadcasting for reps and use it. Broadcast early.
If you broadcast targets without authorization during the fleet, you may be removed from the fleet.
Don't fly expensive ships unless you are experienced in fleets
Salvaging and Looting
Do not loot a grid until given permission by FC. In the case of structures, violating this rule can have significant diplomatic consequences for both yourself and your alliance.
If the fleet is moving intending to still fight, do not loot.
Do not loot on out-of-fleet alts during a fight.
Do not loot blue wrecks until the rest of the grid is clear, to give people a chance to return and loot their wrecks. If someone requests their loot back, provide it to them.
DO NOT loot grids when you were not involved in the fight.
If you are caught looting the grid and the fight is ongoing, FCs may primary the offender. This action is not something that a diplo will take a complaint for.
Punishments may start with requirements to return the salvage, docking or ACL bans, repeated offenses could result in you being banned from WC.
NPSI Fleets
Use non-coalition alts, if possible; otherwise, don’t shoot blues and inform the relevant FC at the time why you can’t participate.
