In the Imperium, most of the staging market and contract stocking is done by individuals.

The simple math off the top of my head would be something along the lines of (Projected Losses over X days + 20%) with X being the number of days it takes to restock the reserve. HP: How do you calculate how much materiel is needed at staging?Ĭ: Having the right amount of resources in staging is less about how much you have and more about how fast you can replenish your reserve. If you’re going to NPC Nullsec or somewhere hostile you don’t really care about the hostiles feelings, right? If you’re going somewhere in sov null you’re usually going to fight someone hostile to your friends, in that case they’re happy to see you and offer up any assistance they can. You don’t really need to pick a staging system based on political alignment. HP: How do you pick staging systems? Is it more of a political or military decision?Ĭ: Staging systems are exclusively picked for their strategic value. The coordination team works collaboratively these days, a lot of discussion about tactics and strategy goes on in the coord channel followed by more of a primary coordinator supported by the other coordinators structure for the actual engagement. HP: As a follow-up, how do you work with them? Is there some sort of joint committee, or is it more ad-hoc than that?Ĭ: Depending on what we’re doing and who we’re doing it with we’ll be using text chats like Jabber and Discord combined with voice comms as required. The next day we could simply have recon watching a blue Fortizar online with FCs ready to respond if required. We basically work with any entity that can be a strategic asset in whatever campaign we are working with, when QFC is under siege we work closely with them to not only provide support fleets where requested but also supply them with a bit of mentoring and intelligence.

Coordination works closely with Recon, Scouts and GSOL to pre-stage assets and resources in a way that will improve the likelihood of a successful operation.

These tasks can be as simple as destroying a hostile Raitaru anchoring in NPC Delve or as complex as taking a whole region. The coordination team receives directives from the Skyteam or Imperium directors and enacts them. Hopeful Turtle: What other groups do coordinators work with when planning campaigns?Ĭhiimera: Coordinators are the second level of what I would call The Imperiums’ strategic division with the ‘Top Men’ being the Skyteam followed by coordinators. To shed some light on this subject, Crossing Zebras caught up with Chiimera, a member of The Imperium’s Coordination Team, analogues to a real life general staff, and asked him a few questions. However, once this decision is made, there is still preparation to complete before embarking on the process of a major conflict.

In the previous piece, we examined the decision process which led to war, seeing how alliance leaders used the full powers of their bureaucracies to generate effective information and make clear decisions (at least, in theory – we cannot dismiss the possibility of wars starting with less rigorous examination).
