1. Introduction

Fleet communication is the cornerstone of operational success, from high-stakes combat to exploratory missions. Structured channels and disciplined communication enable rapid, informed decision-making.

Command Hierarchy

  • Fleet Command: Strategic oversight and fleet-wide directives.
  • Squadron Leaders: Tactical execution and coordination within assigned units.
  • Pilots & Crew: Operational execution and situational updates.

2. Key Terminology

Standard Commands

  • Launch: Deploy small craft. Example: "Launch all fighters!"
  • Form on Me: Assemble in formation. Example: "Form on me for approach."
  • Break Formation: Disperse for evasive action. Example: "Break formation, scatter!"
  • Bandits: Enemy vessels in visual range. Example: "Bandits, 3 o’clock."
  • Status Report: Request for fleet status. Example: "Status report, all units."

Star Citizen Adaptations

  • Fire for Effect: Engage with maximum intensity. Example: "Fire for effect on target Bravo!"
  • Engage Jump: Activate quantum travel.
  • Hard Burn: Accelerate for immediate escape or pursuit.

3. Standard Protocols

Frequency Allocation

  • Command Channel: Fleet-wide directives.
  • Squadron Channels: Unit-level coordination.
  • Emergency Channel: Critical incident reporting.

Call Sign Use

Ships and units must use assigned call signs for clarity. Example: "This is Vanguard 7, requesting docking clearance."

Communication Format

  • Initiate with "This is [Call Sign]".
  • Use "Echo" to acknowledge commands.
  • Maintain brevity and precision.

4. General Guidelines

Radio Discipline

  • Minimize non-essential chatter.
  • Default to acknowledgments like "Echo" or "Understood."

Situational Awareness

Provide regular updates to Fleet Command.

  • Example: "Enemy detected, 2 clicks, moving to intercept."

5. Combat Protocols

Engagement Reports

  • Enemy detection: "Bandits, 4 o’clock, 5 clicks."
  • Status updates: "Shields at 50%, requesting support."

Chain of Command

  • Fleet Command issues directives.
  • Squadron Leaders relay and adapt orders.
  • Pilots execute and report back.

6. Emergency Procedures

Critical Situations

  • Hull breaches: "Hull breach, sector 4, immediate repair required."
  • Medical emergencies: "Injuries in cargo hold, med team needed."

Abandon Ship Protocol

  • Evacuation command: "All hands, abandon ship. Pods away!"

7. Exploration & Trade Protocols

Exploration Updates

  • Discoveries: "New system identified, commencing scans."
  • Anomalies: "Radiation spike detected, altering course."

Trade Operations

  • Cargo updates: "Hold secure, cargo transfer initiated."
  • Market conditions: "Adjusting route for profit optimization."

8. Appendices

Glossary

  • CIC: Combat Information Center.
  • Wide Scan: Long-range threat detection.

Protocol Checklist

  • Verify frequency/channels
  • Confirm receipt of commands.
  • Use encrypted channels for sensitive data.
  • HUD-integrated comms. (TS3)
  • Secure transmission devices.
