[Openme-developers] Hunting Guide

[Stephen L <ste...@ho...>]

Before a hunt is organised a leader of that fleet will be appointed and 
he/she will be responsible
for arranging a hunt. This leader will organise the location of the hunt, 
who is to be involved, what sector/planet/starbase everyone will meet at. 
He/she will also inform people what sectors to move to, when to attack etc.

Once the hunt starts one person will be appointed by the leader to take 
point. This means that person will remain one sector ahead of the hunting 
fleet to remove enemy scouts, mines and combat drones so that no damage will 
be done to the majority of the fleet, and the enemy will not know the 
strength of the fleet.
This is key to the success of the hunt, this way the enemy will only see one 
warship on their scanners and may risk intercepting with one ship.

Once a sector is cleared by the ship on point he/she will call the remainder 
of the fleet into that sector by saying (sector number) CLEAR. E.G. "1212 
Clear". This is an indication for the fleet to join the ship on point in 
that sector and wait until the ship calls the next sector clear and so 
on....

Always ensure your ship is fully loaded with scouts wherever possible so you 
can place scouts down in the sectors that have been cleared so you can view 
any possible enemy coming from behind. If anyone in the fleet sees, or 
receives a scout report of an enemy ship/fleet nearby then immediately 
inform the leader of the fleet and he/she will make a decision as to the 
appropriate action to be taken. Do not leave the fleet without first 
informing the fleet leader.

HINT: If you drop mines in a sector that the enemy is in, may not be able to 
leave that sector until all those mines are destroyed.

AT NO STAGE GO OFF ON YOUR OWN. THE ENEMY WILL USE THESE SAME
TACTICS TO TRY AND KILL YOU.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 1M CREDITS WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO
HUNTING TO REPLACE LOST SHIELDS AND ARMOUR.
