Artemis Jump Drive Training

Presented by Cattail.Nu / Slate

Training will use Artemis 2.4 (vanilla).

Agenda

Part 1: Basic Training
00 - 05	Greetings and Jump Drive Operation Video	Artemis Jump Drive Operation Video
06 - 10	Jump Drive Engineering Setup	Please download and install the Jump Drive Engineering Settings file. You may be asked to operate the Engineering console during today's class. See the included engineeringSettings_JumpDrive_installation.pdf for assistance.
11 - 40	Formal Presentation	Please open the Jump Drive Presentation and follow along.
41 - 75	Practical Experience	Everyone should take the science console in addition to the position they are going to perform.
76 - 90	Discussion & Test	Test
Part 2: Advanced Skill Building
91 - 120	Proficiency Mission	A hostile Skaraan invasion fleet is advancing on a civilian outpost colony in Sector 70H. The Artemis has been called to provide defense. Primary objective: Save as many people as possible. Secondary objective: Halt the advance of the enemy fleet. MISS_jumpDrive.zip (tested with 2.4.0)

Jump Drive Language

A successful jump should sound something like the following. Captains and their crews are encouraged to tweak the language and steps to best suit their team. The goal is absolute efficiency and speed.

Engineering	Conserving energy.
Captain	Jump to DS1 and dock.
Communications	DS1 is waiting for us to dock.
Science	DS1, Direction 270. Range 32K. [Your Captain may also want to include a pre-jump heading/facing in non-combat jumps.]
Helm	Direction 270. Range 32K. Initiated. [Helm does not need to change the ship's heading for a non-combat jump unless the Captain directs it.]
Engineering	Jump drive activated.
Helm	Confirmed. Jumping in 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
	[Jump]
Helm	Jump completed.
Engineering	Impulse energy activated.
Helm	Docking. Docked.
Engineering	Energy to scanning.

Anomaly Reference

Jump drive ships can scavenge anomalies efficiently. A collection of secret code cases, combined with jumping to each enemy fleet, could neutralize the strongest enemy ships.

+ 500 Energy (Anomaly)
+ Damcon (Vigoranium Nodule)
Comms: Instant surrender. Double Agent. 5 min (Secret Code Case)
Eng: Heat loss reduction. 5 min (Cetrocite Crystal)
Helm: Warp/impulse boost. 5 min (Infusion P-Coils)
Sci: Instant scanning. 5 min (Lateral Array)
Weap: Recharge/damage rate (Tauron Focusers)
Weap: Shield boost (Carapaction Coils)

Slate's Logical Attack Tornado Echo (SLATE) Maneuver

Decimate incoming enemy fleet as fast as possible and return for refit. Total expected execution time: 2 minutes.

*** You may want 2 science officers! One for jump nav and one for scanning! ***

Jump Drive SLATE Maneuver Video

SLATE Language

A successful SLATE maneuver would sound like this:

Captain	We are going to attack the enemy fleet in Sector C3. Use a SLATE maneuver.
Science	Face 0-6-0. [Ship needs to turn for the best post-jump attack direction.] Primary target F03.
Engineering	High Energy Turn.
Helm	Facing 0-6-0.
Engineering	Energy to Torpedoes.
Weapons	Ordnance Loaded.
Captain	Execute Jump.
Science	Enemy fleet. Direction 270. Range 15K. [Direction and range should be acquired at the last possible second for the best accuracy.]
Helm	Direction 270. Range 15K. Initiated.
Engineering	Jump drive activated. [Combat jumps should be max-energy (300) for best accuracy.]
Helm	Confirmed. Jumping in 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
Weapons	Shields up.
	[Jump]
Helm	Jump completed. [Helm should immediately use impulse engines to move forward away from mine deployment.]
Engineering	Energy to impulse and rear shields.
Weapons	EMP Away. Mine Away. Mine Away.
Communications	F03 taunted.
Helm	Coming about. [Helm should keep the ship out of the enemy ship firing arcs, but within combat range (3-5K).]
Engineering	High Energy Turn. Energy to torpedoes.
Science	Escape direction 90. Distance 8K. [Your Captain may prefer settings for a Flip maneuver where you jump the ship immediately behind the enemies.]
Helm	Escape direction 90. Distance 8K. Ready to Initiate. [Do not initiate until the Captain issues a 'get us out of here' command.]
Weapons	Nuke away. Nuke away. Homing away. Homing away. Homing away. Last volley loading.
Communications	Best refit is DS1. Secondary: DS2.
Science	DS2 is closer.
Weapons	Homing away. Homing away.
Captain	Jump to DS2.
	See docking jump above.

The SLATE maneuver may not be suitable for all ships and situations. There are MANY different jump ship tactics. How many can you think of?
