Pilot training session July 24th 12pm - 2pm GMT+0

The main focus is to give players who would like to captain, but aren't secure enough in their own skills to do so in a regular match, which means anyone at levels 1-3 AS CAPTAIN, so all you level 12 gunners who have never flown out of fear of losing face - this is your chance :). To get around level capping I'll be using the "Form Crew" lobby so use click to join when I start spamming chat about it.

Hey Skwiss! I would like to sign up for any of the next tutorials! Im new to the game so, I'd like to learn! Please post info on next session! (Im up for any class) Thx for doing this BTW!

great - I'd recommend you go through an engie session because it will give you a grounding that you can use in other roles - specifically how ship layouts decide how responsibilities are shared among the crew, and prioritisation in relation to what each roles should be doing in given circumstances. I'll be organising a session for tomorrow (4th August).

Allright thanks, and, just a question, GMT +0 is where exactly? Not very good with these things....
Calico-Jack Aug 3, 2013 @ 7:53am 
GMT +0 is UK, GMT+1 is Europe, GMT-5 is Eastern US once you know your offset it's really quick to convert to your local time.

Ok thx, I apreciate your help! Looking forward to having such a great teacher!
