Hello there, my name is Jegora Fal. I'm the Naval Training Officer. I'll be around to assist you in your training, although you'll probably become more familiar with Shazam, our Training Executive Officer, along with Tomas, C-3PX2, Ibram Tyrol, and Stormz, our current Trainers and Operators. Any and all of these gentlemen will be more than willing to help you out.

Now, you've already done the first phase of your training; that is, you posted. Easy stuff, huh? Now it's time to move on to the next phase of basic training, Flight School.

Flight School can be found at: http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flight_School_%28FS%29

Flight School is broken down into several steps called chapters. After you complete Flight School, you will take the Aviator's Exam and join a squadron. Along the way you'll create a Wiki page, an Identification Line, file a Report, study tactical maneuvers, and most importantly you will define who your character is.

Now, the first step is Chapter One. This is where you will create your character. A guide to character creation can be found here. This guide will give you all the information you need to get started. When you complete your assignment (creating a character biography), post it up here and one of the staff members will critique it to check for accuracy and flow.

Of course, you may have questions that the Wiki can't answer. Thats why the VENA Staff is here. Simply post your questions on this thread, private message (PM) us over the ComNet, email us, or find us on our IRC server (irc.imperialnetwork.com). To access IRC you can use our free chat applet (jIRC) or you can download a client (mIRC). The #VENA channel is always open, and our main channel, #Vast_Empire, is always full of experienced members.

I realize this is a lot of information to process. If you feel overwhelmed, the Staff is always here to help. Just let us know if you have any questions, and we will do our best to answer them.

Until laters,

Jeg

It's copy and paste, thank you, so leave me alone.

If you know what to do next, then get to it.

Ok, sorry about that.  My mistake entirely, figured I'd try to be funny, but I guess that my humor shuts off at 10 o'clock at night.  What's different about NAVY?

/\ LOL Blue, you're hilarious. What would make you more hilarious? Posting on Societas and Sickness

Kotaro, our training is a bit different. We have an Aviators Exam you need to pass to get placed in a squadron, we don't hve training missions. Once you get placed, you're in, no need to "train."

And what you should be working on now is a bit different. So get workin, we could use some fresh meat.

Yeah, get that bio done.

Me read? I got the iq of Ralph Wiggum and you want me to read?

Since Jegora said I could move on, here is Chapter two!

The Barrel Roll

The Barrel Roll can be used for both defensive and offensive maneuvers.  Offensively, you use this if you coming up on your target to quickly, defensively you use this to force your enemy to shoot at you, and hopefully they will miss.  Initiate a Barrel Roll by rolling slightly in any direction, and increasing your pitch.

The Immelman Maneuver

Basically, this maneuver entails your ship changing its bearing and get more altitude.  You do this by aiming the nose up and begin rising in altitude, essentially performing a semi circle. You'd use this maneuver to increase in altitude and effectively change your direction, allowing for a quick direction change or the possibility of blind siding an enemy, thus getting behind them.  While performing the Immelman, you rise 90 degrees, then spin for a full 360 degree turn, allowing you to come out right side up, instead of upside down.


There ya go.

When you do your AE, you can send it to either or Jeg for marking

I want to know where he gets placed, when it happens.

Hey guys,

Instead of being a Barabel I have chosen to be an HK Series droid.  This works out pretty well because my other character Fenris has an HK Series Droid, so my character shall now be known as HK-61.
