Standard Operating Procedure
Standard Operating ProcedureNO Ganking/Griefing. Armada is a lawful-good squadron, and does not grief innocent members of the Pilots Federation. This is our primary rule. Do not fire on other pilots, unless first fired upon. Don't fight or kill each other unless it's pre-arranged PvP, and always ask other pilots first. Use text communication and be specific about your agreed expectations, (that way you can screenshot for proof in event of a dispute). The ONLY exception to this is anti-ganking, but you better be sure that it is justified.
Combat Logging (Clogging). We don't shy away from finishing a fight, for better or worse. Clogging on other Commanders is forbidden (& a violation of FDev ToS). If you get a connection error, or blue screen, screenshot and send it on PSN message to prove your claim. We will always help you earn more credits towards a rebuy.
Never fly without a rebuy. Or two. We will always help you earn more credits towards a rebuy.
Be respectful to one another, we set the example for others to follow. Upon acceptance in to Armada, you become a representative of the Squadron. Your actions reflect upon us all.
Help your fellow Commanders. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Defend the home system. We strongly recommend no streaming in our player faction systems, or syndicate massacre systems. Gankers can stream-snipe you, and we would like to avoid negative attention to our hard-earned work.
We expect Commanders to conduct operational tasks for Armada in open play. If you are not actively on Armada business, such as in an under-powered ship travelling in a known Ganking hotspot (engineer systems, Shinrarta Dezhra etc.), then Solo mode or our Private Group are acceptable.
Loop of Shame. When in a party with other squad members, if you overshoot your target, i.e. the Loop of Shame, Commanders must sing the Loop of Shame song, as follows: (To the tune of The First Noel)
Loop of Shame, Loop of Shame,
Loop of Shame, Loop of Shame,
I am flying a big Loop of Shame.
