Not all pings carry the same weight. Pay close attention to the prefixes used in broadcasts:
-
* **🚨 STRATOP / CTA (Call to Arms):** High-priority fleets that directly affect our sovereignty, infrastructure, or coalition standing. Unless you have a valid real-life emergency, you are expected to drop what you are doing, dock up, and join.
-
* **🏡 HOME DEFENSE:** Broadcast when hostile fleets enter our immediate home systems or threaten local infrastructure. Protecting our staging, industrial assets, and coalition space is a core responsibility.
-
* **🎈 FUN FLEET / ROAM:** Casual fleets meant for practice, content generation, or blowing off steam. Participation is highly encouraged but completely voluntary.

> **💡 The Golden Rule of Time:** Fleet pings are **always** broadcast in **EVE Time (UTC)**. Never use your local time zone when discussing formup targets with the corporation.

## Ping Etiquette
* **Read the Broadcast:** Do not reply to pings with questions that are already explicitly answered in the text. Asking "What doctrine?" or "Where do we go?" when it is written in the broadcast clutters communication channels.
* **No Backseating:** The FC team coordinates these operations hours or days in advance based on strategic targets, intel, and logistics—not personal convenience. Do not complain about the choice of doctrine or timing.
