SOPs

Mission

To support and supplement Sons of Vanu operations via airborne infantry & armor delivery, aggressive air superiority, and supressive air-to-ground capabilities.

Aircraft Aquisition

During offensive operations, SAC pilots bind to the nearest cont-locked friendly facility capable of generating approprate aircraft.

All aircraft have 5 minute spawn counters.

Vehicle Storage Spaces

All vehicles (space permitting) can carry non-vehicle ammunition and other items/weapons placed in their trunks. If a favorite is created with these items still in the trunk, they will be loaded with the favorite.

SAC reccomends:

  • Favorites created for every AC cert held
  • REK
  • Repairgun, if not already in pilot's armor inventory *
  • Sufficient nanite canisters to repair your aircraft at least once from a "control lost" state*
  • Regardless of pilot's engineering certification

TeamSpeak

All pilots should be in voice contact during SAC operations.

During multi-squad, practice, or testing operations, SAC pilots use Strategic Air Command channel on the SoV TS server.

Strategery

There will be no Strategery. Thank you.

POH

'Setup

Fly with mouse & keyboard. There is little/no joystick support.

Check your keybinds, confirm locations of:

  • Vertical Thrusters: Up, Down (default "e" , "c")
  • Afterburner (default spacebar)
  • 10% power increments (default numbers)
  • 1% power increment keys (default "," , "." )

Aircraft Loadouts

When AC is generated, fly to nearest refit facility and load appropriate favorite as defined in SOPs.

If avaliable, charge shields completely.

Aircraft Repair & Rearm

Rearm/Refit facilities include any facility linked to a dropship center and any air tower.

To initiate reload: hover within 10m of aircraft pad. A prompt will instruct "Press G to reload from this terminal."

Your aircraft will also be repaired whenever you're within reloading radius regardless of relative position. Consider hovering underneath or parallel to the Refit pad if it is crowded or the air is hot.

Parking

Don't park like an ass

Try to park with SAC

Four attack craft per pad

Always lock your canopy
