Some may have heard of D-Uni; a large school that teaches you how to play Dust 514. This may be for some newberriest, but it is not for all. Specifically, those who want a higher education in the Art of War. Think of us as a nonprofit private school that gives you free money to persue your studies.
How It Works:
Join this chat channel: Learning Coalition Then speak up. Tell us what you want.
First we will assess how new you are and go from there. We can teach you everything you need to know fr setting up your mic to how fittings work. From there, we can help you choose a trade, or help you improve on one you have started. Also note that brand new students are eligible for 2,000,000 ISK grants. When you choose a trade, you may join Bojo's School of the Trades. It is a corp that gives you ISK to learn. That's right: you get a paycheck to improve yourself. However, joining BSotT is not required to learn from us.
Beyond grants and a formal military service education, the Learning Coalition offers something to newberries that no other training institution offers, nor can be achieved without acceptance into an A-list corp----> the opportunity to play with players that have been here since the closed beta. A newberry has the chance to squad with some of the best players in New Eden, who will protect him, teach him the Art of War, and otherwise prevent pub stomps (students who wish to specialize in vehicles will also have access to free top tier vehicles); all courtesy of the Mango's network of Friendship throughout the absolute best corps.
Because BSotT wants students to have only the best training possible in their desired trade, we will find you the best mentor possible to teach you everything you need to know. All of our mentors are required to have been in top tier corps, place in the top of the leaderboards, and have a minimum of 14 million SP.
Upon completion of our extensive urriculum, you have the option to receive a Certificate certified by a top tier player in the area of your trade, to aid you in joining the corporation you choose, as our goal is to make newberries into who they want to be, not what we want we want them to be.
This high quality education does come at the cost of having a small number of available spots for students, as grants from BSoTT are expensive to keep constant. This does not mean we will ever deny an eager student education; only BSoTT grants.
We are working on creating a website to better manage and aid our students. |

I've been lurking in the channel for a bit, though it hasn't been hugely active at my times. Anyone who wants to join the channel and provide assistance or advice to new players is quite welcome to do so. I am working hard to recruit new players. I instruct all my Corp members to join Learning Coalition chat, and I have directed several new players who had Corps already to join Learning Coalition chat as well. So the number of new players in the channel looking for help has been going up.
I have only opened my recruitment efforts to all time zones recently. I wanted to make sure there would be resources in place for students that were on when I was not. Now I am confident that there are experienced players in the Learning Coalition chat channel the majority of the time, so I have opened up my recruitment efforts.
If there is not a lot of activity in the channel when you are on, then I probably need your to help cover that time slot. |

So far we have had good success linking aspiring players up with vets who can answer their questions and set them on the right track. If you are new, just let it be known in the Learning Coalition chat what you are hoping to become, and we will do our best to find you a Vet to mentor you on that path.

R 0 N 1 N specializes in training Scouts. These three Corporations, along with the Mango Group, form the backbone of the Learning Coalition, but what has really made us successful is all the Instructors and Mentors from other Corporations that have become individual members of the Learning Coalition to help guide new players on their path to greatness. I thank you all! |

That's true. I'm tellin' ya, the Commando is balanced! The number of people that know this...
Anyways, I was thinking of moving back into Logistics, because I freaking give up on the paper-thin glass cannon until Active Cloaking comes out. I have no idea why CCP has to tease us with knowledge. :(
To the Logi-Mobile! Or Ghost-Mobile, if that's already taken. And if THAT's already taken, I'll call it the FU-Mobile.

I'm currently stuck trying to recruit new players to DUST514, as I have only managed to recruit 2 people using my link, and only one of which has reached 25,000 WP.
So I'm turning to the forums for help. I'm offering a 100 Million ISK incentive to any 'new' recruits who reach 100,000 WP, along with the standard benefits all New recruits earn.
You see I play with all BPO dropsuit loadouts and accrue in excess of 1,500 WP a game, so as you can imagine my ISK builds up pretty quick. For those of you who don't believe me I invite you to play a game against me and I'll prove that I am all BPO, as I have purchased the Mercenary, Veteran and Elite packs as well as every BPO that was available on the market up to 1.5
Im appealing to 'ALL' forum members who may know of a person with a PSN account who doesn't play DUST514, but may be enticed to join up as a 'new' recruit, for an eye watering sum of ISK. I will provide all recruits who reach 100,000WP with a 100 Million ISK reward as soon as they email me a picture of their progress.
My recruit link is available below, so please, get sharing. https://dust514.com/recruit/psgkk4/ |

We need more Instructors and Mentors.
The Learning Coalition started with a bunch of experienced players who want to help new players. We had plenty of Instructors, but no students. So I started recruiting new players to Immortal Guides and getting them the join the Learning Coalition chat channel so these Instructors would have students to teach.
Now my recruiting of new players is starting to take off, and we will soon need more Instructors and Mentors to meet the demand.
Instructors: People who have mastered a particular role and can act as a subject matter expert to give advice and guidance to new players who are thinking about specializing in that role.
Mentors: Experienced players that can run squads and act as role models for new players. They should be able to answer basic questions about the game, such as where to put the first few million skill points, how to make a fitting work, and how to use equipment. When a mentor identifies what role a student is interested in, the mentor should try to arrange to get the student in touch with an Instructor in that role.
Ideally I would like to see at least two experienced players (Mentors) in each training squad. I would also like the Learning Coalition to have at least 3 subject matter experts (Instructors) for each role, preferably covering different time zones.
To take part, just join the Learning Coalition chat channel and start squading up with new players when you have the time and energy to do so. It would help if you posted here that you are doing so, and what you specialize in, as it helps us to be able to tell the Mentors from the Students. We do not require you to leave your Corp, although we have openings if you want to. |

Right, right. He tried to put me in an Amarrian Logi. The horrors...
And that's true, Lillica is pretty great at teaching. Certainly better than me. Like I said, with me it boils down to rage and stupidity.
Although, last night I was playing solo with my basic Gallente Assault, and for about 2 matched I was unstoppable.
1st Match: 1st Place, 12/1, only death was a tank destroying my tank (I wasn't tanking, I took out mine for a split second to destroy another one literally got 2-3 kills before I was ambushed by a Gunnlogi while trying to recall)
2nd Match: 2nd Place, 24/3, the person that got first was running a squad of 6 so he had Squad Commission bonuses and 2 Orbitals to help him with kills. He still got less kills than me though, so I'm fine. Only deaths were an tank driving me into the redline, a sniper, and an assault, because for a split-second I had terrible aim.
Needless to say, I'm pretty great when I'm not raging and/or when running solo AND/OR when it's very late.
"But Art, were you running a GEK? Cuz those be OP!"
Nope. Running all MLT except my Nanohives, Assault Rifle, SMG, and G-1 Assault Dropsuit, which are all basic. |

I've been on the Squad Finder literally 6 times...). Plus, for some reason, I think my language and/or inability to stay focused on anything will make me a terrible recruiter. It'd be like this:
"So, what would you like to know?" I want to know about scouts. "Well, I just know that kittens are ****ing amazing." Yup, I'm just going to go join D-Uni now...
So yea. I could try and start a squad this weekend though, maybe scoop up a couple newbies. |

Tried the Squad Finder, and got a couple guys, but I'm probably not going to use it again. For recruiting, at least.
-I put "Mic Req" in the name, so people would know to bring their voice. 3 people did not. :(
-One guy, forgot his name, had people talking in the background. I do that too, but my mic is so quiet no one can really hear the people anyways.
-The same guy said "Guys turn up your mics!" I explained to him that I had ALL max settings, it was just that the mic was crap. 5 minutes later I hear from the same person "Guys, turn up your mics!" I can only assume he didn't hear me.
-One person joined and was not a noobie, just wanted to play a couple matches I guess. He wasn't half-bad, but even told me that he wasn't looking for schooling. Makes me wonder why he joined the squad labelled "Learning Coalition Recruitment"...
-As I said, the other 3 didn't have their mics, so I can't really say much for them, but they seemed like they could use some help maybe.
-Invited all of the people to LC Chat, telling them that it holds all of our instructors, students, etc, and if they had a question, I was sure they could find an answer.
-Got offline and started playing Skyrim. I bought the house in Markarth! :D
So yea. I've still not had a very good experience with the Squad Finder. I still recruited 4 people. Did I do my part? Can I go back to teaching newbies how to correctly use a Plasma Cannon? Or a Commando? I'd say I earn 99% of my pay just because of that alone. |

I had the bright idea of having Renier Gaden, CEO of Immortal Guides, buy a Freighter and become a deep space trucker whey I was not actively recruiting. I have been watching too many Iceroad Trucker episodes, and I have always thought the Caldari Freighter was a cool looking ship. Unfortunately after doing just one courier contract some Corp said GÇ£oh, shiny!GÇ¥ and declared war on Immortal Guides, which means auto-piloting around the galaxy in a shuttle will not be an acceptable risk until the War is over.
This will effect my recruitment effectiveness a bit as I will have to fly manually, which is more subject to real life time restraints. I expect if they donGÇÖt see my Freighter the Corp that War DecGÇÖs us wonGÇÖt bother renewing the War Dec next week.
I guess if I want to be a deep space trucker I better do it on my Alt in an NPC corp.
Anyway, last I checked Immortal Guides had 58 new players. That is a count of players rather than characters as several members have alts in the Corp. Of those 58, only 1 has not logged on in more than a month. I have also gotten several new players to join the Learning Coalition without joining my Corp.

I looked at the Shuttles. Being someone who doesn't use Afterburners (Or at least anything above Civilian...), the speed of the Gallente Shuttle is pretty outstanding. I looked at it, bought one, and now I'm just going to free-roam a bit. I'll be enjoying the sights of Sinq Laison. Or something. I actually haven't played in a while. I started a trial so I could record a video, because my buddy has never seen the game before and his computer is about 10+ years outdated. So right.
Am I the only one that thinks the front of an Atron looks like a sad puppy? Yes? Ok, I'm sorry. :( |

This is an interesting concept. I'd like to sign up as a mentor or instructor. I run Proto Cal Logi and Advanced Gal Logi, have just over 20 mil SP (playing since Uprising began), and am ranked in the 70s on the leaderboards for WP with one of the lowest number of kills (but positive KDR). Needless to say I have all proto equipment.

A few things of note today:
As of this morning Immortal Guides had 70 student members, almost all of which should be in the Learning Coalition chat channel. Actually, that is about to drop to 69 (See below).
It is a momentous day for Immortal Guides. One of my top students is about to graduate! Carbonized is preparing to accept an invitation to join Molon Labe with his Logistics character.
He currently plans to leave at least one of his other characters in Immortal Guides. I have been so impressed with his progress and positive attitude that I have offered him a full Director position in my Corp.
Carbonized is definitely a learning Coalition success story. Shortly after joining up he mentioned to me that he had a tank character, but was not even sure how a tank should be fitted. I worked with one of the Learning Coalition mentors, Summer Sault, to get Carbonized hooked up with Lorhak Gannarsei, a former DUST University tank instructor. (Charlotte 0GÇÖDell covers a different time zone.) Lorhak Gannarsei, currently of Southern Legion, took Carbonized under his wing and taught him to be a fairly competent new Tanker.
Meanwhile Carbonized was also working on learning Logistics and Scout on his other two characters. Working with several Learning Coalition Mentors and Instructors, including an Instructor from BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades, he developed his skills enough to earn a standing invitation to join Molon Labe.
Unfortunately not all my Students develop so quickly. Trying to teach members that donGÇÖt have a mic, arenGÇÖt really interested in squadding up, and donGÇÖt read the forum, can be a real challenge! The one thing I have done which seems to have some success is to send sections of my guides out each day as Corp mail, so that each day when my Students log in, they have something interesting and educational sitting in their inbox. Shortly I will be sending our the 1.6 patch notes in a Corp mail.
If anyone has any other ideas of how to provide training to my less communicative students I am open to suggestions. |

^^^ Beat them until they work.
Just kidding. But I'm glad to see Carbonized has gotten all grown up and is graduating. I hope to still see him in the Learning Coalition chat, helping the newbies. :D
Honestly, Bojo's is so small and has such a lack of instructors that the only thing we really do now is help you get a scholarship to a good corp and provide all the help we can in the Learning Coalition chat. Either way, we're still a pretty big help to the DUST community and all the Learning Coalition members (Instructor and student), the corp is pretty much just a title until we start getting more people in (I need to get my corp level up a bit though).
If someone from outside the Learning Coalition is reading this, I highly suggest that you go and join our in-game chat channel: "Learning Coalition", and if you need any help, we're sure to know the answer. We have plenty of great students and teachers, and finding a good squad to run with shouldn't be hard. :)
Remember also that Bojo's School of The Trades is happy to hand out grants to whoever NEEDS the money. If you have plenty but WANT more, I'm sorry, because we're saving our ISK for the people that truly need help. Hit me up via in-game email with the amount you need to get started, and I'll think it over.

@Fox Gaden: This is wonderful news! I'm glad we have Molon Labe accepting our students. Honestly, they're a great place to make a name for yourself because they are constantly being attacked in PC. The "Daily Tips" email is a great idea. Make sure to have a link to the dust forums in every email so they start to read the forums.
@Artificer Ghost: I was thinking that since we are becoming more and more established, we could start trying to get small donations from the large alliances (Maybe 1,000,000 ISK here and there). I think we are finally becoming a legitimate organization in the eyes of the community, and since our people are not the annoying fan-boys of Dust University (trololol), we will become much more liked in time.
I have a goal of sending new players into Eon corps. This would further increase our reputation. We need to work on finding a couple start pupils to send there. Perhaps they would send us small donations if they see us as a legitimate source for new players who are both useful and not annoying fan-boys.
I'll finally be back by Friday night and will be gaming all weekend (SQUEEE! :D). I hope to see some new guys, there.

And for my 3rd and final post in a row-
As always, I'm happy to see the Learning Coalition growing into such an amazing and breathing entity. Every day I log on, and I see that player list, where I actually have to scroll down, and it just makes me so happy. We're definitely becoming something big, and something important. As a very good, and I personally think, BETTER alternative to DUST University. I would like to give many Likes out to those who read this very thread, and joined up with the Learning Coalition, whether it be to teach, or to learn, or just to have a blast with us. Without you guys, the Coalition would literally be 4 people.
To anyone who hasn't joined us and our wonderful team of students AND teachers, then I want you to join the in-game channel: "Learning Coalition", and squad up with someone, and have as much fun as you can, and teach as many people as you can. Or, if you're looking for schooling, then go out and learn as much as you can. We have more than enough resources and people to answer any question you could possibly have.
So yea. I hope that the Learning Coalition to grow as fast as it is now, and I hope to see more and more experiences players on the field. Less murder taxis, less newbies trying to shoot at the MCC, and less people with a negative KDR at the end of a match.
And now: Hearts. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Nice. Will I be there? Also, can BSoTT use it for the Testing Grounds I've been talking about? If we could get one district, we could just set up mock battles with D-Uni (Or someone, nothing confirmed) and fly dropships and stuff without actually taking the district.
Districts are only lost if you get cloned-out, right? Right. So yea. I could actually teach people to fly in my dropship.
By the way, Fox/Renier/Crash/Gaden, expect a guide from BSoTT that you could share with your students. It's a bit more advanced, but it could be some base knowledge before they start getting into my section of schooling.
Dropship fitting, surviving whole match, made (almost) top of the board without killing anyone, survived Railguns, Forges, and Swarms no problem, pretty cheap on SP and not too bad on ISK. :D
EDIT: I just need a time for that comms meeting. When are you normally online, and what timezone are you in?

Honestly, D-Uni would hopefully be the one we run mock battles with, to do the Training Grounds Simulation thingy. We have similar goals, and a Training Grounds would benefit both of us. However, I'll just point it out, that if two different corporations from the Learning Coalition each take a district, we can protect eachother from attacks (Lockdown timer or whatever), and still do the Training Grounds. If 3+ of the corporations manage to get a district, it'll be even better because we can just work INSIDE of the LC. Training Grounds, PC experience, good income. All the great stuff.

If 3+ of the corporations manage to get a district, it'll be even better because we can just work INSIDE of the LC. Training Grounds, PC experience, good income. All the great stuff.
Hmmm...then that will be what we do. It's just so brilliantly evil :)
I have the connections to take any district we want from all but the best corporations so it won't be a huge problem getting it. I'm just not familiar with how locking districts between 2 corps works but that will be the way things happen. Do I care about publicly posting it on the forums? No, not really. I'm still not sure who we will take the districts from, but it will happen. Hahaha.

That would get you 2 districts and them someone to train with a "Win-Win" situation.

Hey, quick reply! :D
That's handy.
Anyways, look forward to talking about our secret plans. Secret secret plans. If you want, it'd be easier to communicate without getting in-game via email. Fox has mine, if you need it. Honestly, I think you should grab it anyways so we could set up a council meeting on the fly. We still need to figure out a Learning Coalition website somehow (I would contact the director that created my website, but I think he's going through something right now), expanding on PC talk, and just generally being able to make a quick council meeting whenever is pretty useful (Not to mention more efficient). If you can't reach Fox, I'll tell you when we're in-game. I just don't want to be getting a load of creepy emails, or stupid questions that could be asked over the forums.
Whoever here that manages to guess my email (I'd be surprised...), will be rewarded with a link to my Twitter Account. Good luck! (Also, I'll give you like, 3 ISK.)

To you, sir, I shall give loves and knowledge. I have immense skill with the Mass Driver, fitting requirements and tricks, and generally the best way to use it. Look for me in the chat channel "Learning Coalition", and I'll show you what I know. :D
As for Scouts, I'm not the best at that. It's the only trade where I don't get a positive K/D near-every match. However, if you're looking to be the sneaky type instead of the jumping, running, and crazy type, I can show you a lot. Just a couple minutes before this post, actually, I was running a "Stealth Scout" and managed to get 8/0. And I'm REALLY bad at being a Scout normally. Only way I was able to get those kills is by being patient and having such a low Scan Profile no one could see me. I could show you that as well.
So yea. Just look for me in the Learning Coalition chat, I'm on very often, and always looking to squad. :D

Irony doesn't like me anymore.
JUST to try it out, I ran the following fitting: 1x PRO Gallente Logistics 5x Enhanced Armor Plates 4x Compact Nanohives (To repair myself) 3x Light Damage Mods 1x Balac's GAR-21 Assault Rifle
Aannd... Here's my combat report... For pretty much half the match, I was sitting at a CRU camping their clones, and basically being a living hell for anyone who spawned in. To get an idea of how powerful I am: A Minmatar Medium was hacking a supply depot, and I ran up to him. I had exactly 62 shots left in the clip (I ran out of ammo and was trying to resupply). I killed him, put a couple more shots into his body to make sure he didn't get back up, and had 54 shots leftover. That's 8 shots, and we'll call it 6, because I wasted a couple on his dead body.
Heavies tried to kill me but didn't stand a chance. Literally, I just had to aim for the head and they died within AT MOST a second or two. I could hip-fire a heavy to death at 49m, and I could aim at sniper and actually start to tear his shield apart. Basically, I was the end-bringer. With increased damage, RoF, accuracy, and friendship, this thing killed EVERYTHING.
At the end, I went 27/1 (One death isn't terrible for me, because I have 19 Balac's, and everything else was ISK), and 1st place, I didn't look at my WP count, but I assume it was high.
The moral of this story, Officer Weapons + Player Skill = OP. Irony, I swear, I'm sorry!

Not wishing to start a flame war here as all corps that train new players are cool and I want more of them, however there is is a slight misinterpretation here that I believe needs clarifying in the interests of full disclosure.
We didn't lose 63% of our players. I know exactly where they are. I kicked them back to NPC corps.
As anyone who has been in D-UNI will know, I do an inactivity purge on the 1st of every month for players who haven't logged on in the previous month. I just did another one on Sunday on players who hadn't logged on in the whole of October which was 248 players in total.
There are couple that I don't kick as I know that the players have died and so I give their Merc's a permanent memorial in D-UNI.
I do the purge so as to keep the member base active and fresh. If you were to go to dustcharts.com you'll see that we have 900+ members and I can assure you that all have been active in the last four weeks.
The month prior to 1.4 I didn't do the purge as I was wanting to do a check on retention figures that needed a larger pool of players for the numbers to be accurate. As soon as the next purge was due I kicked all inactive players just prior to 1.5, a total of 700+ players. This was the month we nearly touched 2000 members, but as a third of them were inactive I didn't feel it appropriate to try and claim the first 2000+ pure Dust Corp.
As far as i know I'm the only CEO in Dust to have such a regular purge. And If I didn't we'd have about 4000 members now. But numbers have never been that important to me, a visibly active player base is.
And a fully working Corp UI.

Can I get a like from all the supporters of the Learning Coalition?
@Gaden, Yea! I'm very happy to see that Immortal Guides is growing and releasing new, competent players to go out and slaughter the enemy! :D
On an unrelated note, I went 18/9 with mostly Nova Knife kills, but also some Shotgun kills in there. I might just play Caldari Assault as my Scout until Scouts are fixed. :P

CoD answer: Get good. JUST LIEK UR MOM!
My answer: Seriously, it's all practice. On a good match where I'm running dedicated Logistics and actually being good at the game and not messing around (90% of matches I play with you guys are just me literally struggling to have fun in the game), I make 2k+ WP.
It all just comes from lots of practice, but a couple things help. And by help, I mean make OR break the game: -Don't be a newbie Scout. -Carry a GEK -Be a Proto-Heavy -Stack Complex Damage Mods -Run with a squad of 12 via q-sincing -Spam equipment so much it lags out the entire enemy team
And most of all: Good luck!

Is this what you teach new players? Because what I'm getting out of it is this:
- Telling them not to play a specific class, rather than letting them experiment.
- Forcing them into the mindset that "Gank-Tanking" your dropsuit is a good idea.
- Forcing them to use one specific primary weapon, rather than promoting different types.
- You're openly supporting, and suggesting the use of equipment spam, to cause the enemy team to lag out of a match.
The latter being an exploit of game mechanics which creates an unfair environment, and can cause players to leave DUST 514 completely due to multiple bad experiences. This honestly makes me sick, you claim to be helping new players, and yet you're teaching them that exploiting glitches and bugs are OK.
You've got no respect from me anymore.

If there is one thing that Ghost here has said that was correct. It's practice does make perfect.
Stick to the class that you want to run and enjoy running. Create multiple (cheap) suits, with various fittings and test them out solo and then with a squad. Eventually you'll find a fitting / weapon composition that works for you, and one that works for a squad (if your solo doesn't fit squad tactics.)
Once you do find that fitting and weapon composition that works for you (both in a squad and solo) begin trying new tactics, find the advantages and disadvantages of your weapon comp.
When I first started, I was a sniper and I was okay with the sniper rifle. I eventually got bored of running a sniper fit constantly and started working into a ground pounding AR user. At first I was using the fully-automatic rifle and kept dying a lot until one of my friends and a fellow D-UNI member suggested that I try using a Tac-AR. After about a month of practice, careful fitting, and carefully allocating my skill points, I was able to drop into a match, solo, with an assault suit and go roughly 22/6 on average. With a squad, I generally hit 25/4 on average. So roughly 1.5k WP solo and 2.1K WP in a squad (though if I'm with a squad, I'm sometimes leading that squad.)
I generally run Skirmishes so there's a bit more chances for WP gain. But as I don't know you're style of play, and preferred class, I can't really give out pointers on how to improve your WP gain. If you're constantly hitting 1K WP in a Domination match, you're obviously doing something right.

Hmmm...I am sure that if we put our 2 mil SP players against yours, we would win every time because we teach our guys to win. We teach them to do exactly what the best players and corps do so they win, too. Do you guys know what "pew pew pew" is? No? That's because ya'll don't truly pursue knowledge near the same way we do.
We like them to know that heavies are not good right now, commandos are useless, callogis are the still one of the best suits, gallogis are the best tanks, and HAVs aren't worth speccing into.
I mean, honestly, I'm not too suprised because our mentors and instructors are all highly qualified PC vets. Lightning is one of the top 3 scout shotties in the game, Grease is the best sniper since Gem Cutter...shall I go on or have you had enough yet. Let's be honest, if you didn't have districts, you wouldn't keep any of your players because your curriculum is absolute garbage, your corp is run as a dictatorship, and you no longer train newberries to high standards. I've also heard from some of my Eve friends that E-Uni doesn't respect ya'll at all. I was in your corp for a few days checking out how newberries were treated. I even put an alt in to see what you did. I said, "can someone explain to me how this game works?" and even with over 50 people on, nobody responded. That INCLUDED some of your 'instructors'. I saw other newberries ask similar questions and your officers were too busy playing Farmville to fulfill your duties to the community. Perhaps ya'll should make some alts and check out how we do things. We answer EVERY QUESTION that comes into our chat in a timely manner.
I'd also like to add that I've seen a lot of D-Uni guys running around battles with swarm launchers when there are no vehicles and going 1/8 bc they don't know any better.
Honestly, I'm flattered that you've taken notice of us, though.
Let me take this moment to inform all of the newberries who may be reading this that if you want to be part of a dictatorship, join Dust University; if you want to be part of a community, join the Learning Coalition chat channel. No tax. No switching corps. No politics. Also, any money we make goes right back to our students, rather than sit in our corp wallet while we play Farmville.

Ok, to guy above: Irony and I are buds. I give him real advice in-game so would you please chill out? I'm a fine teacher and a much better player. And not only that, IF, by chance, you saw a bad instructor in the LC, that's not how all of them are. Each instructor teaches in a different way. I prefer to do it via voice.
At the time, I was VERY angry because currently this game is complete and utter bull-crap, because GEKs and exploits win out over any other type of gameplay. If you tried to speed-tank, good luck, because hip-fire from an AR could kill you.
About 90% of my post was sarcasm and hatred, so would you please step down, because I promise you I know what I'm doing.

I asked for money for skill books in DUni on my alt once. They said 'go play ambush'. A newberry asked the same the last week; he got 2 million ISK because he said MLP is awesome.

Quick question, reading back, when on earth did I gain Naedus's respect? I've never spoken to you, you've never seen me work, and you've never seen me play. I think, that maybe, I didn't have is respect in the first place. That's what I think.
But, and I'm moving back to my previous point + adding something to it: GTFO unless you know all the facts, and just assume that if I say something that is so wrong it should be a crime, that I'm not being serious.
I would never push a player towards a certain playstyle, weapon, or tactic, and I ESPECIALLY would not want them to start exploiting. I hate exploiters, so why would I actually encourage it? Not to mention I'm skilled into every one of the suits/weapons. The only thing I'm NOT skilled into is Enforcer tanks, but I know enough to know they're not really great. Here's basically my run-down of DUST at the moment, and why you need to think for a second.
1) Log in. 2) Start match after saying hello to the LC chat. 3) Get GEK'd probably 10+ times. 4) Try again. 5) Same results. 6) Squad up with Irony, Jillic, Lorhak, Gaden, Char, Lilli, etc. 7) Same results. 8) Get annoyed and bored because it's a crappy game atm. 9) Log off. 10) Rinse and repeat.
So whenever you see me give bad advice, especially to Irony, Jillic, or those guys, that's just me being angry. I'm a smart person. That's how I got to be the CEO of BSoTT, and definitely how I co-founded the Learning Coalition. If you want a source on how angry I get, you can ask the following: Khal V'Rani Crash Gaden Fox Gaden Renier Gaden Charlotte O'Dell Lillica Deathdealer Hairy Lurker Jillic Ironyimation Inception
Ask these guys, I get pretty flippin' angry because this game is basically GEK514.

The butt hurt and lurking is strong in this thread. I needed help because I'm a scout and at the end of the match I have 4 times the damage given than received and I still have a **** K/D with low warpoints. Hell I spec'd into Caladari assault when I first started and I can go into an ambush with a full squad using prototype gear. Also Art is my friend and we constantly ridicule each other in the Learning Coalition chat.

But yea, the blueberries weren't great though. I don't mind, because I got rep points. :)
Honestly, if you want to help out, all you need to do is log on, and if anyone needs help, get them a squad and tell them everything you know about a certain playstyle. Make sure you tell them how well it plays in this build particularly, because someone may want to, I don't know, speed tank, and get murdered doing so. Don't get me wrong, speed tanking is good if you're skilled way into it. But you need to be careful with the gentle newberry, because showing him something UP will make him run in fear.

So I said "Did Lillica seriously tell you to go Amarr? The little.... Dalek...". Thankfully, no. It's not that I have any issues with that, but I'd rather not get Lillica's die-hard Amarrian ways get involved in the teaching of people. See, I get the best of both worlds, because I love the Gallente AND the Gallente Logistics is the best. <3
I tell people to get Gallente Logistics because: 53% - I'm a Gallente die-hard purist. 45% - It has the most utility as a Logistics. 7% - It's super sexy. Look at dem curves.
EDIT: Also, AR*.

Master Ghost,
I seem to keep missing you online and you seem to keep ignoring my emails, so I decided to post this in the LC thread on the forums in hope of getting your response. I have finally gotten Gallente Proto Logi suits like you told me to and I just wanted to clarify, you told me to put a Duvolle on it and to stack damage mods and armor plates, right?
Your Neglected Padawan, Jillic
P.S. Can we please stop the Star Wars Master/Padawan roleplay now? It's starting to make me uncomfortable, especially when you start talking about your 'lightsaber' in the Christopher Walken voice.

yes do that. but tbh, ttk is so low now that proto and adv suits are hardly different. you'd be better of getting your core skills maxed out,rather than wasting it on a proto suit that will just get killed in less than a second by a duvoll..

@Jillic, nice try at another flame war! :D
Also, I will never stop. O.O
@Irony, the above is SORT OF the reason I'm always tired, but part of it is that I'm secretly... Sleepy Shadow. That's right, I became a female. I haz all teh parts and everything.
Just kidding, no I'm tired all the time because: 1) I actually sleep. Unlike Charlotte. Or Lillica. Or anyone else on this game besides Khal. 2) Sometimes I sound tired when it's actually me being frustrated. 99% of my sighs in-game are just me being pissed at CCP. 3) You know when you first wake up and your voice is all gravelly for a while? Yea, that's just my normal voice. In fact, I try to sound as clear as possible while on comms. So I sound tired anyways. :P
Warning: I'm not actually a female. I wish. I did a check this morning. Was pretty darn disappointed. :(
Warning To People That I've Never Squadded Up With: I always sound tired apperently, I'm not really good at the game, and I'm always angry. Seriously, my first character, I was all happy and it was a great game. Now, I just kind of sit back and get pissed. Seriously. I'm an angry mofo. I just mask it behind my thin Scout suit.
Can I get a like? I'll finally get to 1,200! :D

Alright everyone, serious time, I have an important announcement to make, to everyone inside AND outside of the Learning Coalition. As of 11-12-13, the Learning Coalition has obtained 2 Planetary Conquest districts to use in mock PC battles so we can provide Dropship Piloting lessons, infantry training sessions, and all that good stuff. Later in this post, I'll be talking about some other stuff being planned, but for now, I just wanted to say that, and I know this is super-cheesy, this would literally not be possible without everyone that has supported the Learning Coalition from Day 1 and forward. I love you guys, you're great, and I hope to personally thank you guys in-game via comms, while I'm teaching you guys to fly or how to use a Plasma Cannon.
I'll get more information out soon, and when I do, I'll link you to this very post, where you can see how this will work, what events will take place, and all that stuff.

You can use Oceania for training too, although it wont be anything like PC, its still a good place to train new players in a time that suits them if they cant get into the PC battles.
Since its empty, and there isn't a lot going on, the battles can be used for teaching newer players the maps (Knowing the maps, the flanking points, and the super secret areas is incredibly useful for a Scout), or teaching DS pilots how to fly.
Might even be able to Q-Sync players on opposite teams, so they can fight and learn from each other.

Alright guys, great news!
Before I begin, I'd love a like from the supporters of the Learning Coalition, it's you guys that helped us get to this point and I am... Over the moon right now. It's great. This is what drugs is like, I guess.
Tonight, at 10:05 PM EST, Immortal Guides sold all their clones in Egbinger 6, and made the district empty. Bojo's School of The Trades then moved into position and secured the district. Immortal Guides then initiated attack on BSoTT, so we can launch the second part of our vision.
Emails are open. Join the Learning Coalition chat, and if you are in the Learning Coalition, send either myself (Artificer Ghost), or the CEO of Immortal Guides (Renier Gaden) an in-game email telling us that you want in the match. The first 13 players to email me will get into the Campus, and the first 13 to message Renier will also make it into the match. Emails will remain open for 2 full days. When emails are closed and/or we have reached the player limit, I will post that in this thread. You must be online at 10:00 EST (3:00 AM UTC) to participate. Times are still being worked out, and are planning on being changed later on with a little bit of work.
The ~7 minutes in the War Barge will be explaining the rules of the Campus, what to do and not to do, and basically explaining what the Campus is.
For our second match, we'll be doing vehicle-style tournaments. Gaden, Charlotte, and myself are still working out the details of this, but we do know that we'll be having it recorded by CEO Pyrex (Shoutout to him, go on Youtube, give him a Subscribe and a Follow on Twitter!), and possible more. If any other Youtubers are interested in filming the tournaments (You may also participate, if you'd like), then please send myself or Renier Gaden an in-game email and we'll get you into the player list.
The first match is more like us seeing what maps we have, and then planning out tournaments based on that. For example, if we needed to do LAV Races in the tournaments, we'd need to see the map, and then plan out a good route to use that isn't to long, is simple, and also isn't too short.
During this first match, I'll also be teaching people how to fly a dropship. I'm one of, if not THE most skilled Dropship Pilot in the Learning Coalition, so I could absolutely teach you a couple things about it. The fee required is 5 Million ISK OR for you to be in Bojo's School of The Trades. Being in BSoTT requires a minimum of 1.5 million SP. I know it seems like a lot, but you could probably do it in a month or so of playing. :)
Once we get the times worked out and everything (We're looking at doing 12:00 PM EST, 5:00 PM UTC, it's most populated at that time), I'll be putting up an official dynamic player list. By dynamic, I mean for the first PC match, It'll have this team. And then for the second, it'll be a different team (Assuming different people emailed me).
All corporations of the Learning Coalition, I suggest (Not required, but it's helping out) that you send out a corp mail that basically says to email Renier Gaden or Artificer Ghost. Preferably Arty, as he will most likely have the smallest student pool of all the corps. :P
I'd also like to give a shoutout to the following people- -Charlotte O'Dell. Whole PC thing was only an idea from me, but this guy made it happen. -'Gaden'. Helped secure Egbinger 6 & 7. -Jillic (Helped defend Egbinger 7. I'll get to that) -DJINN Kujo. Provided districts AND protection for free. -Everyone that helped defend Egbinger 7.
For my final and most heartfelt shoutout (So many), I'd like to thank Red Star. I'm sorry I got mad at you for attacking us, honestly, but I really do want to let everyone know, these guys are fine. They initiated a PC match on us (No idea why) and only one guy actually came in. I can only assume that Red Star called back their troops last-second or something, and this was just a blueberry that saw it in the battle list. Either way: Huge "Thank You" to this guy for not killing our clones. I'm very sorry I called you so many words. :D
So right. I think that's it for now. Seriously, send these guys ISK. Except Charlotte. He's loaded. There was a miscommunication and in the end, I ended up logging on and asking him if he wanted the 150 Million ISK that I owed him. I actually owed him about half that. Really though, give some ISK to Fox/Crash Gaden, Jillic, DJINN Kujo, all of them. They're great. And why not donate a couple million to me? pls. i poor.

The first battle will be for Learning Coalition members only, and we will be focussing on low mortality activities such as Dropship training. (We can spare a few clones for pilot error.) We need to allow the clone count in the Bojo district to grow so we have a nice buffer in both before we begin public classes and tournaments.
We have great plans, but are still in the early stages of figuring out how all this works. There are a lot of logistical stuff we are working on. We do hope that the second battle can be some sort of public tournament, if we can get our act together in time. Sort of a grand opening of the Learning Coalition Training Districts.
Anticipated uses for the Learning Coalition Training Districts:
Public Events:
- Dropship Flight School - LAV races (with a an ISK prize to the winner) - Epic Dog-fight. Squads of 3, each squad gets a dropship. (Prize for the surviving team.) - Operator Skill Tank Tournament (uniform tank fit) (Prize for the survivor.) - Free for all Tank Tournament (Operators use their own fit) (Prize for the survivor.) - Melee Tournament (The Great Brawl) Last Merc standing gets a prize.
Internal Training Matches: - Dropship Flight School - Live fire training exercises. (It would be nice if experienced PC FCGÇÖs and Squad leaders could help lead our students against each other for a more authentic experience.) - Melee tournaments (to practice melee) - LAV races to practice driving. - Tank training (Tank vs Tank fights, disengage at 1/3 armour to save ISK) Without AV, or with AV used by a trainer to teach avoidance techniques. |

Fox is correct. Right now, the time is messed up, so we won't be doing any tournaments, but you have a chance to mail myself or Fox until Saturday at 10:00 PM EST OR 3:00 AM UTC. After this first testing tournament, we'll be waiting until around 12:00 EST / 5:00 UTC until we attack it again. This way, we have the battles open at the time where the LC is most populated with newbies and vets alike.
After we get it to the time we want, we're going to start regularly attacking each other to lock the district and get them ready for training matches. The first couple fights will be dedicated towards learning the map of each district.

Neutrality and the avoidance of perceived bias corp affiliation brings. for example recent examples where certain corp members were suiciding in FW. It's a tactic the game allows and that many are okay with, but it's not one I condone. If i were in that corp some of that rubs off on me and then my videos.

He can Join the Learning Coalition to have access to students, without having to commit his allegiances to a specific Corp or Alliance. It might be a better fit.
The Learning Coalition is more of a community of education orientated players who want to help new players improve, and the new players who are seeking help. It is really sort of like an in-game version of the Rookie Training Grounds forum.
Like the Rookie Training Grounds forum, the Learning Coalition brings together people of many different allegiances, some neutral, many not. We try to support each other when it comes to training, but it does not mean we always have to agree. Freedom of speech and thought is an important tenant of the Learning Coalition. |

Judge, I saw you in the chat channel earlier and forgot to say hi! Glad to have you with us. Right now, as you can see in the post I made above (The one that I'm pretty sure is getting bigger), we're working out time zone stuff and when we want the tournaments to happen, but I'll be sure to send you an in-game mail and a squad invite when it does happen. :D

If you need any help with anything (and i mean anything), then I'll do it. I can also get other members of RTH involved too, we have amazingly experienced DUST vets specialized in a variety of different areas (including myself) so if you're a noob i'll almost definitely be in the learning coalition if you want to contact me.

That feel when you see a newberry leaving his dropship at the spawn and steal it. Then he jumps back in and takes a ride with me, we fly for two minutes, and in that time he learns that you can do cart wheels and dive without dying. Then I land before the match ends, returning his dropship. He jumps out, looks at me for ten seconds then tries to fly but only scrapes the bottom of his dropship along the ground. |

Pass the word.
Right now I am doing over 90% of the recruiting of new students for the Learning Coalition. I have had very good success for one man, but I could use help.
If you see new players asking questions in local, or you squad up with someone who has been playing less than a week, or however you meet them, direct them to the Learning Coalition. It will help them get the support they need, and help us keep this program going.
If they are still in an NPC Corp, or are not happy with their current Corp, then they should join a Learning coalition Corp. If they are in a player Corp, and are happy there, they can still join Learning Coalition chat as an external student and get many of the benefits that our members get.
Learning Coalition Corps:
- New players should join Immortal Guides. My Corp is the basic training corp. Immortal Guides has no entry requirements.
- Players with over 1.5 million skill points, a mic, and a recommendation from a Learning Coalition instructor can apply to BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades*. To get a recommendation, join Learning Coalition chat and squad up with our instructors. Tell them you would like to join BojoGÇÖs School of the trades and if they agree that you are ready, just give that instruct as a reference in your application letter. Be patient, as it might take some time to verify the recommendation. Joining Immortal Guides first can make it easier and faster to get an Instructor reference as they will be paying particular attention to Immortal Guides members looking for students who are ready to graduate to advanced training.
- Those who wish to dedicated themselves to the ways of the Scout, should apply to R 0 N 1 N.
But to keep it simple, just tell them to join Immortal Guides. Once they get in, we will help them get to where they need to go.
*The recruitment post for BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades is still 95% correct, but keep in mind that it was written before the formation of the Learning Coalition, and before the change in management at BSotT. Bojo The Mighty, although no longer CEO of BSotT, is a founding member of the Learning Coalition, and is on the Learning Coalition Council. |

Seig, glad you could make a suggestion but we're hoping to keep these tournaments down to no-skill-needed. All tanks, LAVs, and Dropships will be supplied by Bojo's School of The Trades, from my personal arsenal. However, we are planning something a bit different.
For each tournament, we'll be doing a tier type system. You have a choice of 2 different types. Low-Sec Tournament: Both sides have the same vehicle and same fit, provided by BSoTT. Each vehicle is identical down to the very last module, so it comes down to the skill of the player to win.
Null-Sec Tournament: Each side uses his/her own vehicle and fitting, as long as the type of vehicle matches the tournament the player is participating in. Meaning that you can't bring an HAV to a Dropship fight, or vise versa. This shows not only the skill and knowledge of the player, but also the fitting know-how.

Later today (11/21), Immortal Guides is hosting an Open House for all Immortal Guides students and instructors. If interested, we're going to be having a look at the district, maybe fly some derpships, and all that fun stuff. All you need to do is go to Corporation Contracts in your battle finder, and join up. :D
All other Learning Coalition members (R 0 N 1 N, BSoTT, or any outside instructors) should contact me if you want to jump in and blow stuff up.

This one is mostly to give my members a chance to see their district. I know it looks the same as it does in a Pub match, but its their district and a lot of them would like to see which map it is. I usually donGÇÖt have 16 people on at once, so I will probably invite some people from Learning Coalition chat as well. Artificer will certainly have openings for other members of the Learning Coalition on the Bojo team.
This match is not a combat training exercise. We will be giving people a chance to practice flying dropships. Since the vehicle limit prevents everyone from flying dropships, we will also have melee practice at Objective B. I encourage you to bring a Nanite injector to save some clones (it nets you extra WP too).
Coms will be in Learning Coalition chat, so both teams can communicate.
Please do not hack Objectives. Activating Null cannons will shorten the match.
Please do not hack turrets. Beginner pilots will not appreciate it. You may destroy turrets if you would like. |

Maybe we can help Killar-12 out by hosting some of his Thunder Dome matches. Since Immortal Guides and BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades have adjacent districts on the same planet, we donGÇÖt need to buy clone packs to setup matches. Or at least not when we have things coordinated properly. Art did have to buy a clone pack for tonightGÇÖs match, because his district was locked.
Thunder Dome
Anyway, any Thunder Dome type activity in tonightGÇÖs match should be at Objective B. Bring a Nanite Injector. A few uplinks would be good too. |

Instead of the normal, "Why don't they get removed from the game?" tone, it'll be the "Why didn't I use these earlier?" tone. Seriously, I've had them for months and I've never used them. >:|

Learning Coalition had its first Planetary Conquest training match yesterday evening. Well, actually we had one before, but the timer had not been reset, so no one showed up for it.
This training session illustrated the clockwork efficiency and organisation that the Learning Coalition is known for, which of course is based on the workings of a clock which was tossed off a building and run over by a LAV.
Tic.........Tic.Tic.....................Tic......Sproing!
So when the time came for the match, no one from BojoGÇÖs School of the Trade was on to give Learning Coalition members access to the attacking team. I logged in on my BSotT alt, but discovered that he had not been given the Terrestrial Combat Officer role.
So we only had 16 slots. We carpet bombed Corp chat and Learning Coalition chat with invites and took anyone who wanted to go. Luckily they all fit in the 16 available slots.
So the match started and I called in a few militia dropships. Several beginner pilots started plying the skies. A few ran into buildings, so I called in some more.
Unfortunately a relatively new Corp member started hacking all the objectives. I had made it clear in a Corp mail, in Learning Coalition chat when we were doing the invites, and on Comms, that people should not hack the objectives as it would shorten the match. I checked and this member had voice activated in Learning Coalition chat along with the rest of us, but he refused to communicate. So, I am assuming that it was a deliberate act of sabotage.
Since Immortal Guides is a basic training Corp, and has no entry requirements, there is really no practical way to keep spies and saboteurs out, so I was not particularly surprised at this turn of events. I had originally planned to have the other team hack half of the objectives if this happened, to balance the null cannons and give us a decent match time. Unfortunately we were not able to get anyone onto the other team to do this so the match ended in about 8 minutes.
Some of my guys were a little disappointed at that. GÇ£Is that it.GÇ¥ So I went to initiate an attack on BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades, but SVER True Blood had beaten me too it.
The SVER True Blood attack on BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades will happen at 01:00 EVE time, Saturday evening in the US, Sunday morning in Europe. This should be interesting. |

General John Ripper wrote:CCP raRaRa: 1 CCP SoxFour: 0 CCP GJR: 1
I put up a valiant fight up against CCP SoxFour to beat his cheated like count. I had 40k likes to his 120k-140k but CCP raRaRA stepped in to even the playing field. For that... I thank him. Victory is much more satisfying when accomplished legitly.
All scripted,glitched likes have now been nerfed thanks to CCP raRaRa. CCP SoxFour is now back down to 13,000 likes. Soxfour thought he could cheat and get away with it, but I decided to rise up and stand up against this corrupt dev. Forum warrior vs Dev Cheater. Yes, I may have utilized the same methods used to boost soxfours likes.... However, if it is okay for dev's to cheat, what example is that setting to the players?
CCP raRaRa a big supporter of fair play has nerfed all forum cheats. I am back to my real like count and I can beat soxfour once and for all! I am even closer to beating him than ever before thanks to raRaRA. Even though I was nerfed, I consider this a victory. A victory for fair play! A victory against soxfour! A victory for all forum warriors!
I will continue my campaign to challenge corrupt ccp dev's. I am still going after you Soxfour. I am not scared of your dev hax. I WILL END YOU!!!!! Maybe some of your fans were running scripts. |

Also, IF SVER was trying to do something good as an act of love for newbies, but just didn't coordinate well enough: Then I'm sorry for the email I sent. Seriously. I'm not even going to type it here. Not because of language, but because of laziness. Although I was pretty angry.
If they were not (Knowing STB's record, I can only assume they're just being [jerks]...), then we have more than enough ringers to fill more than enough armies. If anyone wants to ring in, I'll need to squad with you first, but we're most likely going to stick with our people.

Remember when i said you would lose all of your districts and we would get out own? Sounds to me like the community didn't believe your 'university' was helping anyone. Have you checked out Learning Coalition chat lately? There are more people in there than in your corp chat at any given time. Maybe it's because I'm awesome; maybe it's because we do what you told people you did better than you do. If you honestly think you can take our districts, we can get literally the entire community to rally alongside us.
Fear the Mango. Fear its Friends.
In other news, the LC is having 2 meta 2 and below training PC battles tonight. All are welcome to play. There is no entry fee. There is no obligation of membership to any of our corps.

So when the time came for the match, no one from BojoGÇÖs School of the Trade was on to give Learning Coalition members access to the attacking team. I logged in on my BSotT alt, but discovered that he had not been given the Terrestrial Combat Officer role.
So we only had 16 slots. We carpet bombed Corp chat and Learning Coalition chat with invites and took anyone who wanted to go. Luckily they all fit in the 16 available slots.
So the match started and I called in a few militia dropships. Several beginner pilots started plying the skies. A few ran into buildings, so I called in some more.
Unfortunately a relatively new Corp member started hacking all the objectives. I had made it clear in a Corp mail, in Learning Coalition chat when we were doing the invites, and on Comms, that people should not hack the objectives as it would shorten the match. I checked and this member had voice activated in Learning Coalition chat along with the rest of us, but he refused to communicate. So, I am assuming that it was a deliberate act of sabotage.
Since Immortal Guides is a basic training Corp, and has no entry requirements, there is really no practical way to keep spies and saboteurs out, so I was not particularly surprised at this turn of events. I had originally planned to have the other team hack half of the objectives if this happened, to balance the null cannons and give us a decent match time. Unfortunately we were not able to get anyone onto the other team to do this so the match ended in about 8 minutes.
Some of my guys were a little disappointed at that. GÇ£Is that it?GÇ¥ So I went to initiate an attack on BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades, to setup another match, but SVER True Blood had beaten me too it.
The SVER True Blood attack on BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades will happen at 01:00 EVE time, Saturday evening in the US, Sunday morning in Europe. This should be interesting.

You seriously don't believe that you can just have some districts and not have to defend them? Wow. Welcome to lolPC.

I'm just curious.
Also we have nothing to do with your districts being attacked. Its pc, corps are going to attack you. I'm not sure what gave you such a hard-on for D-Uni, but you should probably consider going to the hospital. I heard having an erection for longer than 4 hours you should seek medical treatment.

If you're not aligned, then you'll hear me out. But I highly doubt that due to your response to my last post. Earlier in this thread, I said I had lost respect for you. You laughed it off and thought I was talking out of my ass. Of course you don't know who I am, I keep to myself and only play this game with people I know. In fact, the move from Dust University to OSG was a huge jump for me. However, what you should know, is that I respect people who want to better the community by helping new players learn the game and become self-sufficient enough to evolve with the game.
I'd like to remind you that it was your organization that fired the first shots. Not Dust University. Don't be so surprised when their leadership, members, and supporters come out of the woodwork brandishing torches and pitchforks.
I tend to lurk a lot on these forums, and I can say just about any thread or post I see from a "Co-Founder" of the Learning Coalition, somewhere in it is an attack against Dust University. I've seen entire threads dedicated to attacking Dust University, and it honestly is hilariously pathetic at how hard you're trying to deface a corporation that keeps to itself, doesn't get involved in politics, and remains focused on it's own goals.
You want this to end? Remove the tumor. But rest assured, the more you ignore it, the sooner your entire organization comes crashing down under it's weight.
(P.S. The Day of the Doctor was the /best/ episode. Ever.)

This is a quote from a paragraph in an e-mail exchange that happened between myself and Fox Gaden on August 29th. I'd like you to note the underlined portion of this quoted bit.
"I am going to seek my own path and steer clear of DUST university. I just want to be away from..."
Fox... not only are you hypocritical. If you actually wanted to steer clear of Dust University, you had every opportunity to stand up and say enough is enough. You didn't, because you're a push-over. You're afraid to speak your mind in front of a crowd because you have that mentality that they'll either laugh at you, tell you to shut up, or completely ignore you and continue going about what it is they're doing - regardless of your opinion. You're not respected by your associates, Fox. It's plain obvious with the constant attacks against Dust University - a Corporation that YOU have personally put work into.

What are you? Nine? Ten? You're the most pathetic forum troll I have ever seen. Ever. It's like you're actually trying to **** people off with your childish remarks. I mean, hell... even I can troll better than you. By-the-by, the districts Dust University lost. They didn't care about them because the directorship agreed upon, and voted on, the withdrawal from the districts due to them being nothing more than a distraction from the actual goals of Dust University. |

Naedus, thank you for taking the time to write that, honestly.
Looking at the problems you mentioned, I just want to point out a few.
Quote:I'd like to remind you that it was your organization that fired the first shots. (Look at that quote everyone. Snip it!) A lot of the Co-Founders here are in for different reasons. Charlotte, the one that first called out D-Uni, helped create this because he wanted D-Uni to fall. I, myself, helped create this NOT because I wanted to wipe out D-Uni, but because I wanted to teach people and revive the Bojo's School of The Trades. Fox joined because things were changing for the worse at D-Uni.
I'd also like to point out that Bojo's School of The Trades, has ALWAYS shaken the hand of a D-Uni member. Unless he's on the opposite team. Then I kill him/her. Either way, BSoTT never did anything to D-Uni to hurt it's feelings (/sadface). In fact, when Charlotte said "Ok, let's attack D-Uni!", I basically told him that I just wanted a district so I could start PC battles and teach people in a non-hostile area. Thankfully, the attack didn't go through, but if it had, it was absolutely nothing personal on my end. Any district would've done. I even suggested purchasing the district from D-Uni. Luckily, nothing was done and we got our districts from someone else non-violently.
And this next bit.
Quote:You're not respected by your associates, Fox. It's plain obvious with the constant attacks against Dust University - a Corporation that YOU have personally put work into. Going back to the same conversation about attacking D-Uni's districts, Fox actually backed out. When this was brought up, he replied with "I'll not be personally attacking D-Uni, because of reasons" (Warning, not exact words). Of course, he did say that he can't stop Learning Coalition members from attacking D-Uni themselves. Not because he's a pushover, but because the point of the Learning Coalition is to be a place of freedom. No corp is required, no SP limit/requirement, only that you join the channel. So if Charlotte did that and other Learning Coalition wanted to see what PC was like, it was still a Learning experience, so he wasn't going to mess with it. Also, I don't know who you mean by associates, but I actually respect him a ton. He's on my Top 5 list, definitely. I mean in the game. My Top 5 list doesn't mix games and life.
I think that's about all I wanted to point out. You'll be getting an in-game email about "things" when I'm next on. It's secret Black Ops stuff. I hope you still have your Black Eagle suits because you're going to need two Light Weapons. O.o

Another PC training match has been initiated!
Tomorrow night, we'll be doing things like Dropship Flight Sessions/Training taught by myself, live-fire Infantry Gunning and Tactics with Fox Gaden, and maybe some tournament-type stuff such as LAV racing, Tank Battles, maybe a Dropship Dogfight?
If you're interested in joining, any and all newbies are welcome to fill teams. Email either myself OR Fox Gaden if you want on the roster. The roster will be listed in a seperate post 1h-30m before the match starts. Rules of the session will be explained in the War Room.
If any Youtubers are interested in filming the touraments taking place, send me an email. We'll be accepting 1-3 Youtubers per match, so we can increase our public visibility but not decrease the actual number of students.
Any students that don't make it into THIS match, will automatically be put onto the next match's roster, so don't worry if you don't make it in. :D
Any and all vehicles needed will be supplied by Bojo's School of The Trades. List of owned vehicles are below.
Quote:Dropship Dogfights - Incubus LAV Racing - Callisto Tank Battles - Madrugar Flight Training - Grimsnes These are being personally provided by myself, so even though I won't be angry if you break them, it'd certainly help my wallet if you didn't.
Again, email myself OR Fox Gaden if you want in the match, and I'll get you on the roster.

lol this whole training corp vs. training corp is a joke. Honestly, I am a bit bored of it all. Since I have been involved with D-Uni it has been one drama filled QQ fest after another. LC, have fun, play the game, do your worst to take down D-Uni. It doesn't matter.
I became a part of D-Uni to help people, not to fight childish grudges against people who have way to much time on their hands.
Charchar...who are you. A nobody to me...just like I am to you. You don't hold but this moment of my time writing this.
Fox, you are a joke. Stop plagiarizing other people's guides and programs and passing them off as your own. You were manipulated by a angry crybaby who couldn't follow the rules. A real man would have approached the other and confronted him about the issue. Instead of going behind his back and mailing a bunch of unbelievable non sense in a failed attempt to get him removed. Then when you couldn't get what you wanted you quit like a teenager throwing a rage fit. You are a puppet..good luck with that.
Bojo's....I donno..do your thing I guess. Could care less...

Xer0z, I just wanted to point out one minor thing because it drives me nuts when people do it.
"Could care less"
Couldn't care less*
Could care less means you have some ounce of "care" for whatever you're speaking about, and judging by the context of the rest of the post, you don't have an ounce of care.
Honestly, I don't see a corp VS. corp going on here. I see Charlotte, who gets a bit hot-headed, and happens to be against D-Uni, but I know that Fox Gaden nor myself are opposed to D-Uni. Note that the Learning Coalition NEVER said "Better than D-Uni". All we said was "An alternative to D-Uni". Unlike D-Uni, we pull many instructors from outside the Coalition. And there's nothing wrong with using inside instructors, nothing at all. In fact, it has a couple advantages. But also taking from outside has ITS advantages, such as getting more knowledge from further out, instead of using the same person's tactics, and teaching the same thing over and over.
That's the only difference. We use more outside materials, but sometimes that tends to make us iffy. If you use more inside people, they have a fair amount of time and experience to learn how to teach. Sometimes I literally just mail someone who I saw had some good tactics/knowledge and asked them if they want to teach. In fact, I'm a terrible teacher myself. I have terrible ADHD, and I'm super laid back (Assuming I don't get too angry), so everything with me usually boils down to laughter, stupidity, and/or anger. Seriously, I get pissed. Especially at teh proto-stompers. >:|
So yea. As a wise man (child) once said: http://imgur.com/c7NJRa2?tags
Hugs? Bring it in, Xer0z. You get a hug. Naedus? Anyone? Ok. Either way, I propose a truce. We accept our differences, and all haterz can just watch that gif on replay.

Gotta get a few facts strait. One, yeah I'm bad at this forum thing. Couldn't care less or could care less...really? You know what I meant. lol.
You are incorrect about who we get to do our lectures. Although we do not have many Open Lectures advertised about guest speakers. We have many people come in from other corps and provide their experience in the many different forms. I personally open up every lecture I do to gather new ideas or brainstorm about theories during my Q&As. A lot of people have their alts within our corporation so they can have access to our forums and our players in order to help them when needed or asked.
There may be a lot of information that is lost about D-Uni because we don't publicly advertise every thing we do. That is something we could work on ourselves. We have focused on core fundamentals, developing a solid foundation for our organization to be able to continue on. So when leadership steps down a new person can take up the mantle without too harsh of a transition. This has been my personal goal. I don't plan on staying in the Uni forever. The corp it self is meant for people to move on once they gain a basic understanding of the game.
As far as Fox is concerned, the funny thing is that I never had anything against him at all. I actually thought while in the Uni me and him had a great understanding & working relationship. Of course I was mistaken, when he was manipulated by some scrub to think I was out to get him and he went crazy. I feel bad for him in a way. He never even took the time, not even once to ask me about it. It could have all been resolved with a single chat and some laughs shared. He did however not go that route and instead caused a lot of unnecessary drama. Which is why I see him as the joke he is now. That and he has taken a lot of ideas from other people and tried passing them off as his own. It just shows that he never deserved his director role in our organization in the first place.
Char char. lol who is he again? Most of his junk I don't even read. He is far from credible in my eyes. Just another worthless troll looking for attention.
And, Bojo's we tried to work with you guys since the beginning. When PC first dropped you guys were supposed to be our partners and do training matches with us, but you just never showed. Then we tried to continue to keep in contact, but it seemed your organization had fallen off the map. When we had picked up our own planet we tried again to contact Bojo's with no communication in return. I am not sure what happened at that point because I assigned another director to handle that.
As for our districts, I personally was the one who acquired 4/5, A former director acquired the other. All through diplomacy and trade. It took well over a month of deliberation and dealing with reluctant leadership, but we managed to create a place where we could bring outside organizations in to help train our membership in competitive contest. However management of those districts was a nightmare. We spent more time dealing with diplomatic relations then focusing on our fundamental goals. After a few months and one director stepping down due to the stress of dealing with them, we decided they were not worth the effort. Nothing a clone pack on a supporting corp's district couldn't solve.
Honestly, I have no issues with the LC. Like Eve University, there are many other organizations that do the same thing. We in Dust University are just focused on the long term goals of our community. We are trying to build something that will last not just focusing on the irrelevant "now."

I thought people might want to know how the training matches went this weekend.
No Proto match with SVER True Blood:
There was some early confusion, but my Director of Diplomacy got me into a squad with Roman837 and we sorted it out. After further consultation with Cpl bloodsone, who is in charge of training at SVER, we agreed to make it a No Proto match to train their newer recruits.
Unfortunately we were only able to get together 6 students from the Learning Coalition at the time of the battle. So we ended up with a team of 12, consisting of 6 students, 3 or 4 high ranked PC vets, and the rest being somewhere between those extremes. I was FC, despite it being my first PC battle. We had 1 tanker from Robing The Hood.
SVER True Blood had a full team of 16, made up of 4 PC vets (as agreed) and the rest being new recruits. Their FC was a PC vet, but this was his first time as FC. They had a new tanker who only had 3 million skill points, but after seeing our RTH tank, Cpl bloodsone brought a tank in as well.
With a 4 person advantage, SVER was able to capture 4 of the 5 objectives quickly, but the Learning Coalition was able to slowly push them back, gaining 2, and then 3 objectives. Unfortunately we did not have the man power to hold all 3 objectives and were reduced to two again.
My most memorable moment was when I ran over a low rise and almost tripped over a SVER tank that I was not expecting to find there. I actually had to back up to avoid the splash damage from my swarms. I ended up getting three +75 assists in the match. Due to our tankerGÇÖs skill and our infantry reacting quickly to naturalize Forge Gunners, I think we only lost a single tank.
Our primary goal of reducing SVER to below 100 clones to prevent an automatic second attack was achieved fairly early in the match. Although SVER maintained their lead throughout, we pushed hard right to the end. It was a good game, and should have provided good experience to both SVERGÇÖs new recruits and our students. It was also good practice for noob FCGÇÖs on both sides.
Meta 2 match with Deadly Blue Dots:
Deadly Blue Dots were looking for a district to attack, and did not know who Immortal Guides were, so they attacked us. Our Director of Diplomacy talked to Echo 1991 and asked if he would like to make it a training match, because if it was a serious attempt to take the district we would have to ask DJINN Kuho to provide 15 of his finest solders to defend us, as he did when Red Star attacked. By the time Echo 1991 contacted me, he seemed quite enthusiastic about making it a training match. So we agreed to make it Militia or Basic Weapons and Suits. We decided not to put restrictions on modules or equipment as the Basic suits themselves restricted how much your could equip.
Unfortunately the time was bad for Learning Coalition and we only managed to scrape together 3 or 4 students. I had to go out and look for people to fill my team. I checked with Onslaught, but they were concerned that Deadly Blue Dots were in their Alliance, so I checked with Echo 1991 again, and he said he was ok with us picking up people from his Alliance as long as they respected the gear restrictions. At one point Echo 1991 and I were recruiting out of the same channel. Ten minutes before the match was to begin I only had 6 people from Learning Coalition lined up. Half students, half instructors. So I ended up filling the last 10 slots with Molon Lobe and a few friends from other Corps.
Unfortunately, even with the Meta 2 restrictions, this unbalanced the teams. Deadly Blue Dots ended up with mostly their own member, with only 1 or 2 ringers, and I think they may have been lacking a full team, as we had against SVER the previous night. We ended up taking 4 objectives early in the match and mostly held them till the end. Deadly Blue Dots did not give up though, and were pushing objectives throughout. But with so many Molon Lobe on our team, and them being down a few people, the odds were heavily unbalanced in our favor.
Out of the few students we had in the fight, one was Squad Leading in a PC battle in his first week in DUST. One of his squad mentioned that he had an Orbital available and it donned on us that we had not yet told him how to do that. Another of our students was operating a tank, which inspired Charlotte OGÇÖDell to run a tank too, to give him some pointers, much to the dismay of the Deadly Blue Dots I am sure. Charlotte had stuck to ground pounding during the SVER fight.
The most amusing moment for me was when we were first forming the team, hearing an exclamation of surprise as someone realized they were on the same team as Charlotte OGÇÖDell.
Wrap up:
All in all these fights were good learning experiences for me, for my students, and for those that needed PC practice on the opposing teams. The only thing I am not happy about is that we were not able to field more students, but this was not really a surprise to me.
I only started recruiting students to Immortal Guides and to the Learning Coalition two and a half months ago. My initial goal was to recruit enough students so that there would normally be enough on at any one time to fill a squad. When I hit that mark I noticed my member retention improved considerably. In the early days a lot of students I invited only stuck round for a few hours before leaving again, but now most of our new members stay.
However, enough to make a squad is not enough to fill a PC team, so I still have a lot of recruiting to do. We only had our first graduation from Immortal Guides a few weeks ago, and have only had a few students move on to BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades for advanced studies. So, until we recruit more students, we will probably be focussing on individual skill training in the controlled environment of a Learning Coalition PC match, such as Dropship flight schools. We are also open to hosting community events.

^^^ Flawless advertising right there. +1.
The time is about 8:00 PM EST. Pretty early for people in the UK. Right now, we're working on time, but we're thinking of just returning the districts. So far, they're more trouble than useful, because we're constantly being attacked, the times are all sorts of messed up, and 99% of the time, no one mails me about joining the training match, even though there's constant chatter about it in the chat channel.
People that mailed me in time: ninja draco.
Yup. I'm looking for people right now that can get on at the correct time to manage the teams, so we can get times under control, and people will actually use the thing. :)

What Char said, but I'd just like to expand on that.
Don't JUST send them towards the Learning Coalition, take them under your wing! Invite them to squad, tell them how to set up comms, and tell them anything they want to know. While the Learning Coalition CAN teach all teh newbies evar, it's much more help you us, to you, and to the general DUST community if you give them a bit of knowledge for their brain-heads. Or head-brains? Either way, the Learning Coalition supports any form of teaching, whether it be by directing the newbies to us, or teaching them yourself. Seriously guys, we love you. :D

Last night the Learning Coalition hosted a Dropship flight practice, for new pilots to get some flight time in and improve their flying skills before they have to face a battle environment. Unfortunately it was a bad time for our Flight Instructors, and neither of them were able to make it, but at least we had plenty of time to practice. We will be adjusting the timers to insure that at lease one Flight Instructor can make it for future sessions.
This time we finally got our act together and no one hacked any of the objectives. This gave us 1 hour and 15 minutes of uninterrupted flight time.
One of my students was flying a Dropship in a PC district within hours of creating his first DUST character. Hopefully that will be a better GÇ£welcome to DUSTGÇ¥ experience than a lot of us had.
I made good use of the flight time myself, being a fairly noobish pilot. I landed on roof tops, I landed on the rings of the orbital artillery, I attempted to fly up streets, I flew under catwalks, and I flew under pipes. Then I started sprinting from objective D to objective E and back, landing each time, to simulate hot insertions and pickups.
I lost 5 Dropships; died 3 times; and rolled my Dropship over while attempting to fly under a catwalk, squishing my Director of Diplomacy who apparently was attempting to jump on top of my Dropship. I also had to recall my Dropship close to 20 times due to it bing on itGÇÖs side, on its roof, standing on its nose propped against a wall, etc.
This Flight practice event was open to anyone in Learning Coalition chat. There was still openings available, so we could have taken more people in, had their been more interest.

Times are being changed to 12:00 PM EST, which is 5:00 UTC.
At 5:00 UTC, most people are getting off work, and at 12:00 EST, I have no idea. I just know that at this time, it's infinitely more populated. The times are being changed to this, also because I can actually attend then, and because there'll be more students to fill the teams. Our next battle will be sometime tomorrow, because I need to change the timers first.

I was a huge derp earlier this morning and got the times all sorts of wrong. For some reason, I guess I was tired, I had forgotten it was a 24-hour clock, so when I was changing the timers on both districts (Think about that, BOTH DISTRICTS), I put it at about 5:00 AM UTC instead of 5:00 PM UTC. Yea... It's about midnight in my timezone, which is the opposite direction of progress.
So instead of the battle happening tomorrow like I planned, it'll probably be held on Friday, which is still good because I have a bit more free time on Fridays.
For those who forgot or just plain didn't hear, the timers are being changed to 12:00 EST / 5:00 PM UTC. Of course, because it's for an hour, call it 12-1 / 5-6. At this time, the channel is most active. Also, the current person overseeing PC actually has a real life (Awesome, right? A dust bunny, having a life? Incredible!), and I have much less of a life, it gives me more time to oversee these battles. Something which I have more time to do. And I think that's it. Just letting everyone know how I derped bad. :D

Times for both districts have now been changed to 12:00 PM EST / 5:00 PM UTC.
When both districts are unlocked, I hop in and kick off a battle.
All participants are required to have comms on. No mic is required, but you must be able to hear everyone else.
Quick look at the rules: -No Killing Anyone. Not unless you're in the live-fire exercises. Any other kills will result in a kick from the match (With 1 warning). -No hacking Null Cannons. Installations and Vehicles are free to be hacked, but objectives can only be hacked by the defender at the end of the match*. Turrets should remain neutral and/or destroyed by one of the tankers/pilots on the map. This is to prevent anyone from losing a vehicle/clone. -No Mic Required, Just Smiles. As long as you have comms turned on in the correct channel, you're good to go. People with comms turned on will be picked before people without, so make sure you have them on!
That's basically it. All of these rules will be reviewed in the War Room before the battle, while teams are being set up.
*In the next match to come, the defender will be Immortal Guides.

All of the above, done.
In unrelated news, the Steam sale tempted me to purchase Terraria and a Chistmas gift for my brother. #1 reason I won't be online today.
Can I also add, when you don't look at a wiki, the game is a lot more fun! I have no idea what to do in Terraria! Of course, that might be bad... I built a house.

To all Learning Coalition members: I will be logging on in ~30 minutes. If you want to squad up, I'll take anyone with a mic.
The PC training match *may* be today, but I didn't check, so don't get your hopes up. In case anyone forgot, the times are 12:00 PM EST / 5:00 PM UTC. The match will, if everyone follows the rules and doesn't hack objectives, last for ~1h 15m, according to Fox Gaden.
I think I'll be one of the only instructors online at the time, and if that's so, the following events will take place: -Dropship Flight Training -LAV Racing -Dropship Dogfights -PRACTICE Tank Battles* -Maybe live-fire, but we need to preserve clones
Any team-killing that happens will result in a kick from the match, with one warning (A couple exceptions. Dropship crashes, for example, are forgiven). Clones must be preserved so we can continue doing this indefinitely, and actually make a profit. The defender MUST win the match, or else the attacker will automatically attack in the next 5 minutes after the match, something we don't want. All objectives will remained UNHACKED until near the end of the match, where the defender will take one objective.
*Practice Tank Battles are like normal tanking face-offs, but instead of a kill, you only bring them to 1/4th HP. All tanks are Armor-Tanking Blasters, so as to prevent any kills. The armor bar moves slow enough to where you have plenty of time to stop.

Also, the Eliters have attacked the BSoTT district. Seriously? Fine, we can do this. A mail is being sent from myself, to the CEO of the "Eliters" to ask them what the hell they're thinking. We'll get our Director of Diplomacy on this as soon as possible as well.
If all else fails, we punish them.

If they have any perspective pilots, the 36 million they spent on the Clone Pack to attack BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades could get them an hour long private season tomorrow, if they are interested. Please make them feel welcome.

The match between Eliters and BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades will be a GÇ£No ProtoGÇ¥ training match. Eliters will be attacking, but will not be attempting to flip the district, which means no followup attack, unless they win the first attack with over 100 clones left, in which case a second attack would start automatically 5 minutes later.
We canGÇÖt generally get enough students with mics to fill all the slots, to there will likely be slots available. If you are available at 17:00 tomorrow and want to get in on the fun, contact Artificer Ghost. Remember, No Proto gear. That usually means no proto suits or weapons. Artificer will likely meet with Tremal Jack before the match to work out the details of how to handle modules and equipment.

If you're not online, get online, because in less than an hour, BSoTT is hosting a training match.
In case anyone wants to know what will be happening, I'll TRY to have the following events held: Dropship Flight Training will definitely be on the list. Tank Practice Battles (Fight with Tanks, whoever gets to 1/4th armor left loses). LAV Racing (I have my Scout LAVs!) Fitting Training (Make vehicle/infantry fits and test them out) Live-Fire Exercises, but we need to preserve clones, so this is a big maybe.
Happening in exactly 40 minutes, 30 seconds. So be there, or be square.
Mics are NOT required, but Voice Chat must be turned on. Any rulle-breaking will result in a kick, although dropship crashes and accidental player deaths are forgiven. :)
So come on guys, let's actually fill a team! It's pretty quiet hear today, so it's pretty empty. About 6-10 people.

You're fault, Bojo. All your fault. I RULE ALL! >:D
Anyways, the Training Match earlier today was (sort of) a success. It was a pretty quiet day, being the day BEFORE the Cap Reset, so everyone was finding no real good reason to play. We nomrally have a lot of people online at that time, so when Districts are unlocked, I'll move some clones.
We got a couple people in, but all were pretty busy except for Summer Sault, Myself, and Knight. Knight DC'd a little bit half-way through, Krator was doing a work thing, and just everyone was doing something.
Hopefully in the next match, it will be on a more active day (All of my chats were empty), such as Friday or the Weekend, but oh well. The point is, I now know the time is good for me and it's usually active enough, so we'll keep with this time for a bit.
Summer crashed three (three?) dropships, and I was trying to figure out a track for the LAV races, I also let him drive my Callisto for a bit to see how cool Scout LAVs are, although it wasn't much time. I believe I also flew my A-DS for a bit, and tried to shoot Summer's ship.
Either way, there was much dropship training to be had.

You seriously don't believe that you can just have some districts and not have to defend them? Wow. Welcome to lolPC.
Ummm you do have to defend it...What are you talking about bro.
Honestly if a Tutorial corp uses districts like alt corps were used in old FW days then I don;t see why anyone would attack. All you need is 1 district (2 most - unless you have like 1000 members).
WHat I mean by the FW days is that we would start a match and only 1 person fom the other side would show. NOT hack objectives and learn to drive LAV's (back when you used the stick to accel and brake) and Fly Ships.
Similarly LC uses the districts that way. They have PROPER classes. People get in a district and taught to fly. They get free ships. To make it better they all should be on Mics and a vet should be lecturing and goign around monitoring (kinda like a RL martial arts class)
If a training corp does that, there is no problem with them owning a district.
D-Uni had a FULL planet. And provided experience in PC not to others but to its own members. LC trains people from other corps and hence has good relations. Honestly some of the people in the AE alliance like LC. Honestly any vet corp can use more dropship pilots.
Advice: The game is about networking. It is how D-Uni got the districts in the first place.
I hoenstly think a better use of your districts was to host fights. Sell you district to another corp (Corp A) who wishes to battle Corp B. AFter the battle the corp gives it back to D-uni.
D-Uni is neutral and would be trusted to set up those types of fights.

D-Uni and the LC are having some problems we need to work out right now, especially with the War Director they have over there. Plus, I'm not paying any ISK I don't have to.
Thank you, Dachande, for explaining what we're doing. Honestly, I think we shouldn't have to defend them and more people should check the Rookie Training Grounds. It helps their corporation if they're helping newbies.
Eliters made an attack on BSoTT's district a couple days ago. Because the times are set to fit the Learning Coalition's needs, and not our ringer's, the attack that was supposed to be a Training Match (I assume. Nothing was described in detail by Fox) turned into a District Conquer. I've already gotten angry about this, which is why I seem so calm right now. Also, it's early.
I'll be sending a mail to the CEO and original Founder of Eliters, asking if there's anything we could work out (peacefully) to allow them to move their clones out of the district (Or sell them), so that BSoTT can move back in. It's unlikely it was their intention to take the district, but even if it is, I could always plan for that.
Please, people, I'm legitimately asking you this and just make sure you do this: Tell your War Directors to look at the Rookie Training Grounds. In fact, if you can't tell your War Directors for any reason, go ahead and tell your CEO, or one of the Directors. Anyone with access to PC just needs to know that we're harmless. :)

D-Uni directors, and especially the War Director, are really hating on the Learning Coalition right now. I honestly can't say why, but it's most likely the fact that we're both schools and we have many instructors/students that left D-Uni for us. I couldn't tell.
We need the ISK because it takes 1.5 million ISK (Or something similar) to move clones, plus paying some other costs, I spend a lot of ISK doing PC, pretty much. BSoTT is the only one that has yet to recover fully from the move to PC. Thankfully though, we're starting to recover our ISK, being a little more than halfway there.

Immortal Guides is making our District facilities available to a small Corp which wants to run tests on Lag / Frame Rate issues that are common in PC matches. The intent is to try to produce an issue free environment for 15 minutes to made sure there are no inherent connection issues, and then to try to reproduce the lag / frame rate drop common in PC matches by spamming vehicles, Nano Hives, and Drop Uplinks.
I am interested to hear their results. It would be good to quantify how much Uplink Spamming it takes to start creating problems. |

So although when I return I can not be a part of this LC...it seems like diplomacy issues with DUNI? I honestly still believe BSOTT should have been taken down a notch, to something less official.
You see because the idea of BSOTT being a corporation sort of infers a Supermarketesque approach when that is not at all the direction. I would like to see BSOTT as a smaller, (3 Masters, 6 students to a master) sort of deal. Something that can be handled without a spotlight grudge match.
But I forfeited any say because Arty was really enthusiastic and I am a crowd pleasa. But don't start up a pissing match with DUNI, it's a pretty stupid approach. Someone apologize and regurgitate any and all egos. It's the LC for god's sake.
But good work on districts and things and going on the direction you wish, I really do believe that y'all can create something. But just recognize that when/if I return I am not going to be officially part of anything. |

Bojo, I've already made a formal apology to both of the only D-Uni people I honestly care about, Xer0s and Naedus. Everyone else, I don't really recognize, but if it would make them feel better, they can have a hug too.
Sherrad, I'd just like to point out there are a couple personal attacks made against some of us. One of which being Fox/Renier/Crash Gaden.
I can't name all of them, but at some point Naedus said that Fox was "Not respected by his associates", and that he was a pushover. I don't know what he means by associates, but I actually really respect Fox, and I'm sure that many of the students respect him as well.
He's also not really a pushover. At the point where attacking D-Uni was an option, Fox said that he wouldn't be a part of it. Now, I could understand why some D-Uni members might think of him as a pushover, but you need to remember the Learning Coalition is a place about freedom of choice. He's not really doing what everyone wants him to do, so much as he is not preventing anyone from doing anything. It's something that ALL Learning Coalition members share, we can't really make choices FOR our players.

I would like to first point out that Naedeus is no longer with or corp. Although he does try to come to our defense when he feels its warranted. In reference to your post, I believe he said that because of how Fox left our corp. These problems between us started because CharChar wants to "bring down D-Uni" which is silly. All both of us want to do is help new players correct? We could accomplish more working together than bickering at one another.

Either way, if D-Uni wants to send out a mail suggesting students join the Learning Coalition channel, I'd be more than happy to let them into the PC training matches. As long as they behave, of course, and the same thing goes for my students.

We need the ISK because it takes 1.5 million ISK (Or something similar) to move clones, plus paying some other costs, I spend a lot of ISK doing PC, pretty much. BSoTT is the only one that has yet to recover fully from the move to PC. Thankfully though, we're starting to recover our ISK, being a little more than halfway there.
Umm honestly D-Uni said they don't want to do PC. Plus they are neutral. Any district they take will be through diplomacy.
They are people of their word. So I wouldn't worry too much.
Also you hold a district NOT in Hrober. Hrober was the planet D-Uni was on. |

As Dachande stated we aren't interested in PC. With the changes to fw there is no longer a need for districts. Classes can be taught on low traffic servers like oceania. PC is more of a chore than anything.
I'm the Director of Education. Dennie Fleetfoot is our CEO. His Dust clone is named Kevall Longstrider. You are more than welcome to join diplomacy.d-uni if you want to have a chat. Honestly, I would not have posted on here again but Dachande replied to a post I made over a week ago so... anyway I'm sure Dennie would be open to some dialog.

Hey there Redshock!
To join up with the Learning Coalition, all you got to do is join the chat channel "Learning Coalition", and you're set to go. Ask any question, and I'm more than positive one of our people will be able to answer it.
Doesn't it tell you in the in-game tutorial how to change your Dropsuit Fitting?
Well, to change it, click on the suit, click edit, and then use the left stick to look around the wheel. Hover over the item you want to change, and then you can click on it, press replace, and then pick another item from the list shown on the left side. Then, just exit out of the screen and you're good to go. :)

Bojo The Mighty wrote:So although when I return I can not be a part of this LC...it seems like diplomacy issues with DUNI?
I left DUST University because TrueXer0z was a bully and a tyrant (in game and on the forums); and because Kevall Longstrider/Dennie Fleetfoot was unwilling to put a stop to it. He has a zero tolerance police against swearing, but he takes no action to prevent any other type or bullying or harassment of his members. If the CEO would not act, I had not power to do anything about it, and I felt that if I stayed I would simply be enabling TrueXer0z' bullying behavior.
So I left, and I have been trying to stay clear of DUST University, thinking that if I stayed out of TrueXer0z business, that he would stay out of mine. That is why I have been so reticent about talking about the circumstances of my departure. Unfortunately Charlotte OGÇÖDell broke that truce, and finally brought the full wrath of TrueXer0z down upon my head.
I got involved in setting up the Learning Coalition to continue the work that I had been doing at DUST University for 5 months. I made contact with all the independent people and groups actively trying to help new players at that time. I felt that if we all combined our resources we could help a lot more new players than we could individually. So when Charlotte OGÇÖDell suggested forming a coalition for learning, I took the idea and ran with it.
I knew Charlotte OGÇÖDell was a Troll when I got involved with him. But I also knew that he was actively taking new players under his wing and training them. Actions speak leader than words, and the way he was finding and helping new players really spoke to me.
Charlotte OGÇÖDell was always a bit suspicious of DUST UniversityGÇÖs intentions. I suspected it was because they were a big organization and no one really knew what happened inside. He also told me that he thought that posts by DUST University officials seemed GÇ£pompousGÇ¥. So I was greatly surprised when he decided to join DUST University. He was only in there for a couple of days, but I assume he used that time to read their forums and talk to their students, because after he left D-Uni his suspicion turned into a full on hate for the organization.
After that Charlotte OGÇÖDell wanted the Learning Coalition to take DUST UniversityGÇÖs districts and get into Planetary Conquest training. While I thought the idea of using districts for training might have some merit, I could not understand why we should be taking them from DUST University. I stated both privately and publicly that I did not think that taking DUST UniversityGÇÖs districts would be a net benefit to the community. What I had heard indicated that DUST University students were being given opportunities to train in Planetary Conquest using those districts. After giving it some thought I finally put my food down and stated that I would not have any personal involvement in the taking of DUST University districts.
Shortly after that two Planetary Conquest districts were donated to the Learning Coalition. Around the same time, management at DUST University decided to get out of Planetary Conquest because it was too much work to administrate and because they could teach friendly fire mechanics in Faction Warfare after 1.7. So when someone attacked their districts, they did not bother to defend them.
Charlotte OGÇÖDell, in his ongoing vendetta against D-Uni, made a thread in The War Room forum trolling D-Uni for losing their districts. He was quite taken with the fact that the Learning Coalition now had districts and DUST University had none. Inevitably a D-Uni director responded with criticism for the Learning Coalition for acting in such a manner. I posted to say that Charlotte OGÇÖDell was representing his own views, and did not speak for other members of the Learning Coalition.
When TrueXer0z finally posted, rather than responding to Charlotte OGÇÖDellGÇÖs posts, he instead posted vicious and personal attacks against me. Among other things, he claimed that I had left DUST University because I had a mental breakdown in real life. It was not just a GÇ£heGÇÖs crazy!GÇ¥ as you would commonly see on the forums. He was trying to convince people that this was an event that had actually happened, and that I was mentally unstable in real life.
Of course with posts slandering people outside of the game the entire thread was deleted by CCP. TrueXer0z also made several posts in this thread as well, but most of those were also deleted by CCP.
With this type of personal attack being leveled against me, I felt it was about time that I tell my side of the story. |

Bojo The Mighty wrote:So although when I return I can not be a part of this LC...it seems like diplomacy issues with DUNI? I honestly still believe BSOTT should have been taken down a notch, to something less official.
You see because the idea of BSOTT being a corporation sort of infers a Supermarketesque approach when that is not at all the direction. I would like to see BSOTT as a smaller, (3 Masters, 6 students to a master) sort of deal. Something that can be handled without a spotlight grudge match.
But I forfeited any say because Arty was really enthusiastic and I am a crowd pleasa. But don't start up a pissing match with DUNI, it's a pretty stupid approach. Someone apologize and regurgitate any and all egos. It's the LC for god's sake.
But good work on districts and things and going on the direction you wish, I really do believe that y'all can create something. But just recognize that when/if I return I am not going to be officially part of anything. One of the principles I have tried to adhere to as the Learning Coalition grows is to maintain a strong student to instructor ratio. Having 3 Masters and 6 students only helps 6 students at a time, and scheduling conflicts can prevent the 3 Masters from always being there for their students. Having 50 Masters and 100 students helps 100 students while maintaining a similar quality of instruction. It also insures that there is always someone on to help. It builds a community.
The balance was hard to maintain at first. When the Learning Coalition started we had Instructors and no students. Then as I focused on recruitment we started getting more students than those instructors could properly support. So I started to focus more on recruiting instructors, until the number of instructors was threatening to catch up to the number of students, so I shifted back to trying to recruit more students. Eventually I hope that the Learning Coalition will take on a life of its own and will not need me anymore.
Neither Arty nor I did anything to instigate the current dispute that D-Uni has with the Learning Coalition. Art has just been reacting to events around him and trying to make things work, as best he can. He has no personal beef with D-Uni, and they should have no beef with him. But when they criticize the Learning Coalition, Art canGÇÖt be faulted for trying to defend it.
Trying to deal with administering districts just makes me really wish CCP would get off their butts and add in the Training Ground that they talked about. Holding districts is a lot of hassle just to teach Dropship Flight School and setup controlled environments for specialty training. |

Yup. I would go all-in on vehicles, but [WARNING: RANT INCOMING], I don't know, it just seems an iffy move at best.
What's going to happen is, I'm going to take my 2.5+ million SP and stick it all into, say, dropships. Some will go into tanks, but dropships are first. Anyways, I have my dropships, great! But now I need guns. Hold on, looking at this Skill Planner, it'll take most of my SP to get into Fragmented Missiles! If I do that, I can't have as good modules!
Basically, I'm not going to skill all-in to something that I won't get the most out of. I'll have to grind a ton more just to get to the level that I'm at now, which is not the right way to do it. Most, if not all of this is going into Proto-Logi OR Proto-Scout. Whichever one. Deciding Soon(TM). But if I get back into Dropships, I'll be running a Grimsnes with terrible resistance, no ground support capabilities (Which is what I primarily run currently), and definitely no survivability.
TL;DR, I'm not going back into vehicles. I'll probably get ONLY the Grimsnes (Not even good modules for it), but most of this is going into infantry.

Oh wait, the swarmers... Right... Sucks to be them. Even I, with level 3-4 in Swarms, am enjoying this nerf. Forge Gun nerf, sexy, but I'm gonna fly my MLT Dropships before I even think about touching anything else, to make sure the forge still doesn't OHK Vipers. Next I'll test Gorgons. Hoping the Assault Forge Gun gets less overpowered.
Also, I tried out Forge Gun Sniping with the 'Tigris' Sentinel A-1, and I have a new respect for Forge Snipers. Unless they're using the Assault variant. I still despise those guys. >:|

As a pilot project, the Learning CoalitionGÇÖs foray into Planetary Conquest was very successful. We determined that there were several types of training and events which the Learning Coalition could run using Planetary Conquest districts, which were beneficial to the community. We also determined that the Community is supportive of the Learning Coalition holding districts and hosting such events.
We were able to gain experience with district management and the mechanics behind Planetary Conquest. This gave us a better understanding of the resource requirements for effective management of PC districts.
Students: In order for training matches to be viable, the Learning Coalition needs to be able to field 12 students, with 4 instructors, at any time that we have an active district. This would allow us to field a full team for training matches against external Corporations, or to stage an 8 v 8 internal match in a Red vs Blue style.
Administration: It is clear that for any time slot in which the Learning Coalition operate a district we need to have at least 3 people fully capable of organizing events, training sessions, or coordinating ringers. We must have backups for our backups if we want things to run smoothly. This must be in place for each Learning Coalition Corp which holds a district.
Even for Community events or public training sessions where the event is open to the public, rather than requiring the presence of LC students, we would still need members to organize, and bring people into the match.
Based on the projected growth rate of the Learning Coalition it is expected that we will have the student body and administration in place to be able to properly make use of, and manage, Planetary Conquest districts in about 3 months. Adding a little margin for error, our goal is to get back into Planetary Conquest district based training in April. Provided that the Community still supports us in this endeavour.
Therefore, Immortal Guides has sold all clones and has abandoned its district. All funds from clone sales have been transferred to Learning Coalition Bank, where transactions with these funds can be tracked by members of the Learning Coalition Council. The ISK will be used to fund education programs such as: Skill Book reimbursement, vehicle reimbursement when an Instructor calls in vehicles for students to train with, or to purchase clone packs to claim districts in April.
BojoGÇÖs School of the TradesGÇÖ district was lost to Eliters in a training match due to our guy not being able to get online to bring people in to hack an objective to ensure a defender victory. Since the Learning Coalition is pulling out of PC, we release all claim to this district. BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades did not make any profit from their district, although I think they came close to breaking even, minus the cost of some dropships used for training.
The Learning Coalition may continue to offer PC district based training, if arrangements can be made with Corporations holding districts to allow us to use their facilities. Our capacity to organize such events will increase as we train up more Terrestrial Combat Officers, and more Terrestrial Management Officers. By train, I mean more than simple the mechanics. We need people in these roles who are capable of organizing events and training sessions, so that we can distribute the workload. If we hold multiple events/sessions, each should be run by a different person, to avoid an undo burden resting on a single set of shoulders. |

Now for a bit of recognition to members of the Community who helped to make the Planetary Conquest District Training Pilot Project such a success.
Many thanks to DJINN Kujo and Ancient Exiles. for donating the two districts to the Learning Coalition. It was a bit of a surprise, but we learned so much from the experience.
Another thanks to DJINN Kujo and Ancient Exiles for providing ringers when Red Star attacked Immortal GuidesGÇÖ district.
Many thanks also go to Molon Labe. which agreed to ring for the Learning Coalition if needed, and provided members to fill our teams for training matches when we were short.
Many thanks to individual members of the Learning Coalition who offered to ring or fill slots in training matches, from corps such as Robbing the Hood, Science of Death, Southern Legion, Onslaught, and many more.
I must thank SVER True Blood, in particular Roman837 and CPL Bloodstone, for organizing a No Proto training match using the BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades district. It was not only my fist time as FC, but my first time in a PC battle (even a training battle). It was a good fight and I learned a lot. Top WP on our team in that match was actually a student.
I must thank Echo 1991 and Deadly Blue Dots for organizing a Meta 2 match in the Immortal Guides district. We had a new member who had only been playing DUST for a few days Squad Leading in that match.
I would like to thank Tremal Jack for agreeing to a training match using BojoGÇÖs School of the TradeGÇÖs district. I am sorry that we did not show up, but getting the district is a good cancellation prize.
Finally I must thank xxwhitedevillxx M, and Maphia Clan Unit Unicorn, for the privilege of hosting their PC Lag and Frame Rate testing. I feel this type of testing makes a positive contribution to the game and the community which could benefit from any tweaking CCP does as a result of this testing. Besides, if I ever feel sentimental about our time in PC, I can always watch the MCUU video of their testing to see the district we once held. These are the results of PC testing |

Big thank you to the EVE player we had with our FW today, you were a huge help, and definitely made the game much cooler, so thanks. (Will edit in a name when I can remember it. Throughout the entire time we played together, I had to check our chat list for his name...)
Expect a review on the FW aspect of DUST 514 soon, although it may take me a while. Maybe I'll look into it once Friendly Fire is all fixed up.

Also, there was some hard-core tank spamming going on in the pub matches today. May or may not have been my entire squad. Also, I learned to fit a Sica. They're good now! I mean, still iffy compared to the fitting ability of the Madrugar, but I was surviving pretty much everything except for other tanks. And they cost less than my proto-suit.

@FG- Love the sig.
I'm a scrub.

Khal, I'll be logging on in just a second (Time ATM is 2:35 PM EST), probably staying on for a couple hours. Just need to get a couple things done, study for finals, etc etc. Will probably have time at 3:00 PM EST (25 minutes from now).

Bump.
For anyone who might be wondering where I've gone in the next few days, I've gone on a trip up north, so no dust for me.
Maybe when I come back I'll be less angry at the game. :D
Just letting you guys know, so you don't think that Gaden and I had a big fight and we're no longer friends because he tried to kill my family and in retaliation I removed his arm from it's socket and that's also why he's not online that much anymore it's because he ruined our friendship and it's not my fault. Yup.

I am old and slow. That is why I tend to do better playing a heavy than playing other classes. I just donGÇÖt have the reaction time to get the most out of a Scout. I was finally starting to do OK on the Heavy, going positive in most games, then the HMG was buffed. 15/1 was done without a Logi-Bro. I could probably beat that if I got a city map with 16 random Reds and two friendly Logi-Bro.
And for the record, I started playing Heavy when they were weak, and then stuck with Heavy when they got worse, so I am going to enjoy riding this wave guilt free until it crests.

There's no training schedule, because none of us really have the time to do one. We're all (fairly) casual players, and all of us have some kind of relationship/job to attend to, so most if not all of us can't make a schedule. However, if you want to squad at some point, I'm always happy to squad with another member of the LC and get to know you. You know my in-game name, and the EVE playerbase knows me as "Xavier Soraine", so when you see me on, I can send you a chat invite and we can talk. :)
Mostly, you want to answer any questions if anyone asks. Some of the people in the LC, however, are a bit shy (<3), and don't ask questions outright, so you'll want to occasionally do a quick "Does anyone need any help?". Some of the time, you'll also have a newbie squadmate that needs/wants advice.
Not to mention if you see someone with less than 2 mil SP and they tell you about what they're planned playstyle/role is, you should give them advice on where to go with SP. For example, if someone comes to you saying "I like the idea of Logistics", you can reply with "Well, I'd suggest leveling up your preferred equipment then to ADV before anything else, also take into account that Gallente have Scanner bonuses, and Caldari has Nanohive bonuses, etc. (Assuming the changes stick)"

2 things.
1) Ironyimation finally tried out the Commando, and now sees what I'm talking about when I say it's made for point defense, not personal attack. Ninja/Sira Draco kept saying "It has two light weapons and is named the Commando, it's supposed to be a killer" and I kept saying "Nope. It says IN THE DESCRIPTION, that it's the 'ultimate suppression fighter', it's made for area defense", and at the end of the match, Irony says quietly in the background "Oh. So it's good if you use it for point defense.". Finally, people understand! Ironyimation = Favorite Imation.
2) Check out the subtle reference at the beginning of this video, Irony. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhaQm2-g2-8&feature=youtu.be Also, it'll help you with the event. Shoutout to Cyrus Li-Moody!

On another note, a belated grats to Fox Gaden on getting into the Hall of Fame. I'm sure I'm not the only one who reads and uses your guides. Good job buddy, if anyone deserved it, it was you.

I'm going to stick with it, but I probably won't pay cash unless I NEED to.
A Class 3 Wormhole will give me about 300 mil ISK on a mediocre run. That means that I'll get about 150 mil of this (I can't solo them, but I know someone that flies a Missile Tengu, which can easily solo a Class 3), so around 4 Class 3 WHs should get me enough to PLEX up.
PLEX = Pilots Extended License, or something like that. It's pretty much like buying the subscription, but with ISK. The cost has risen since I last played, but at the moment they're selling for around 600 million ISK. I could get that pretty easily if I run enough C3s. :D

Been helping a Corp member with his Guide. I was thinking how nice it would be to have another guide writer in the Corp. And then he goes and publishes it on his DUST University account. Oh well, at least he gave me personal credit. I wonder how many people have characters in both Immortal Guides and DUST University? I know of at least two. Been having a lot of DUST University students coming to me for help recently too. I am always happy to help.

One of the reasons I really enjoy this Learning Coalition is because they actually teach people. I've seen some "starter" corps start and no one helps anyone.
I was running a squad with some of the people who were learning and they had REALLY good questions. They were having fun learning and taking the time to get involved in this game.
I love this! Keep it up!

If you have done all that and it looks like you are the only one in the channel, it may be that it has enough people in channel to switch modes as very large channels do, to where only you and people who have posted recently are displayed.

Absolutely! We'd be more than happy to have you. We have some great tankers with the Learning Coalition, including Charlotte O'Dell (arguably the best tanker in the game), and Lorhak (insert last name I have no idea how to spell), which is also a decent tanker, but lately has been using Logistics and Heavies

Joined up with Immortal Guides yesterday when I was invited to squad up with a tanker named Adonis (spelling?). Had a blast as a tankgunner. The most fun i had as a noob. I think I did pretty well as a gunner too but you've had to ask the driver:) What I usually do is run as LogiBro and I really like that too.

It definitely does, but It's getting better.

If you want to find your way into Gallente space, and maybe bump into a COMPLETELY RANDOM Megathron, that maybe has no defensive capabilities (Let's go ahead and say he's a Logi Mega...), maybe the pilot would put a bounty on your head? And let's assume this Megathron is docked in Gallente low-security space.
I'm not talking about me.

In unrelated EVE news, I'm getting a Rokh. I just need to finish up the fit. Now that I'm no longer living inside a WH, and Exploration is just doing terrible for me (in the past 42 hours I've found a single Data site that was in the middle of being run by someone else), I'm going to start running Incursions. I need to bring up my Shield Skills, but assuming cap isn't an issue (cap RR mmmm), I can run some higher-tier shield mods and weapon mods no problem, I can ALMOST get T2 Shield Hardeners. I also already have a fit built for DPS, so the hardener is just about my only tank mod.
I'm definitely going to level up the other shield skills in the process.

Killer? In a dropship? You have a lot to learn. Dropship pilots are the most underpaid class in the game. We get on average 200 points per match (on a good one). If you aren't in an A-DS.
Anyways, if I'm ever on at the same time as you, I can teach you. <3

Squad up. Its easier to get kills and assists if you are one of several shooting at a red or group of reds vs solo.
Also, hack what you can. Otherwise, its mostly just time.
Don't let it stress you out. Its better to take a break and come back when you have some passive SP to spend than to ruin the game for yourself,

Yeah def remember you're earning passive SP all the time, so you'll be able to invest SP over time regardless.
As for solo play, I will take that to mean not running with other blues - yes you can be effective, but only really as a scout. Other times, you don't have to squad, just stick with the blues. Squad usually more fun though. I'd say try all sorts of things out, you'll learn different things each time you try a different play style and / or different suit fits etc. Try and figure out which style you like more, and think about investing more into that over time. |

Just found out about this thread and the Learning Coalition. Awesome, can someone tell me how I can fit in? I've had a Dust character for about a year, have 12 million SP and like to focus on logistics (I have sunk some points into heavy, swarm and sniper skills cuz sometimes I've needed to switch out of logistics in pub matches to counter certain threats). I've only played public matches and would like to experience more teamwork through a corporation and for PC. I have learned that PC can be quite time intensive and the gameplay tends to funnel people into a specific style (e.g. more emphasis on uplinks than nanohives). I'm not a new player but haven't really worked with any of the more experienced players...just learning on my own. I'm a casual player too, I don't have the time to spend hours playing Dust or other games. Would I be able to join BSOT or is there another way I can get in on the Learning Coalition so I can improve my play and move beyond public matches? |

What it is: An in game extension of the Rookie Training Grounds made possible by community volunteers.
How It Works: Join this chat channel: Learning Coalition Then speak up. Tell us what you want.
First we will assess how new you are and go from there. We can teach you everything you need to know fr setting up your mic to how fittings work. From there, we can help you choose a trade, or help you improve on one you have started. Also note that brand new students are eligible for 2,000,000 ISK grants. If a brand new player chooses to do so, he can join Immortal Guides, a training corp for players around the 500k SP to 2mil SP mark. It teaches the basics of combat, economics, and the meta game that you will experience in New Eden. If you happen to like a certain play-style, it becomes something of a 'trade'. When you choose a trade, you may join Learning Coalition College. It is a corp that gives you ISK to learn, and designed for slightly more experienced players 2mil-6mil. They will walk you through to your proto-suit and above, if you choose. However, joining Learning Coalition College is not required to learn from us. From there on, Mango and Friends networking agency can help you find the corp that is right for you if you want to get into FW and PC, hardcore. The Mango has connections just about everywhere and a good word from a training alliance can do wonders.
Beyond grants and a formal military service education, the Learning Coalition offers something to newberries that no other training institution offers, nor can be achieved without acceptance into an A-list corp----> the opportunity to play with players that have been here since the closed beta. A newberry has the chance to squad with some of the best players in New Eden, who will protect him, teach him the Art of War, and otherwise prevent pub stomps (students who wish to specialize in vehicles will also have access to free top tier vehicles); all courtesy of the Mango's network of Friendship throughout the absolute best corps.
One of the greatest things the Learning Coalition provides to its students is Planetary Conquest training ops. These are real PC battles run between Immortal Guides and Learning Coalition College. They range from dropship flying lessons and LAV destruction derbies to skirmishes between two teams of students with a few mentors in as advisors. This means a student can receive experience running PCs like the top corps do, acting as a FC (battle commander), or SL (squad leader). The best part is that gear is limited to meta 2 and below (STD, MLT) so even new players are on relatively equal footing with veterans. To get into our PC training program, you must either pay a 5 mil entry fee OR join Learning Coalition College as a student (Recommendation from IG director and 1.5 mil ISK). IG students are permitted no more than 2 PC battles during their time in IG. Learning Coalition College students may play as much as available.
The Learning Coalition has become huge, and because of this, we now have more mentors, instructors, and fellow newberries for you to play with who specialize in anything you could want to learn about. We will find you the best mentor possible to teach you everything you need to know.
Upon completion of our extensive curriculum, you have the option to receive a Certificate (recommendation) from a top tier player in the area of your trade to aid you in joining the corporation you choose, as our goal is to make newberries into who they want to be, not what we want we want them to be.
This high quality education does come at the cost of having a small number of available spots for students, as grants from Learning Coalition College are expensive to keep constant. This does not mean we will ever deny an eager student education; only Learning Coalition College grants.

Recruiting from the Learning Coalition student body:
First some ground rules. Please do not post recruitment ads in Learning Coalition chat. That is not what that channel is for. However, once you have someone in your squad you are free to tell them about how great your Corp is and what your plans for the future are. If you like how they play, let them know you would be willing to accept them in your Corp if they wanted to apply. Its called Graduation folks.
The Learning Coalition is a collection of Trade Schools, Training Groups, and private tutors that help new players learn to be effective solders. We are trying to get them ready to meet the requirements of the Corps they wish to join. Some leave early to join casual or small independent Corps, while others stick around longer until their skills have developed enough to get into top PC Corps.
From my own experience as CEO of Immortal Guides, I find the average development time for a student is about 2 months. Some take longer, and some develop more quickly. It usually depends on how many hours a day they play the game. Immortal Guides has had about 3 waves of graduation since it became a Basic Training Corp in October of 2013. Although we have individuals coming and going all the time, a GÇ£waveGÇ¥ is when a group of students start to become very effective, the CorpGÇÖs weekly KDR starts to rise above 1, and then several of the top students get accepted in a large PC Corp, or decide to form their own Corp. You can pretty much tell where Immortal Guides students are in their development cycle by watching my CorpGÇÖs weekly stats.
Having members leave is part of the expectation of a training Corp, and something to be celebrated. Although students that want to stick around for casual play, or to become mentors in their own right, are always welcome as long as they want to stay. The ones who move on to other Corps though, generally remain in the Learning Coalition chat channel, so we continue to stay in touch wherever they may go. At this point some of our early graduates can practically be considered Veteran players, and they continue to help develop our new members through Learning Coalition chat. I am always proud to see Immortal Guides alumni making an impact on New Eden.
Of course not all Immortal Guides members are students. We also have highly experienced Vets join Immortal Guides every once in a while, and it is always nice to have some instructors on staff to provide their advice in Corp chat and on the Corp forum. But they are the minority. Most of my students instruction come from members of other Corps who squad with them or answer their questions in Learning Coalition chat.
I imagine the other Learning Coalition training Corps are much the same in these regards, although with some of them specializing more, there may be some differences.
Squadding with a student in Learning Coalition chat has benefits on both sides. On the one hand as an experienced player you are able to give them advice which will help them develop into a skilled mercenary. On the other hand you are getting a feel for what kind of person they are, whether they are fun to play with, whether they seem to understand their role, whether they can shoot straight, whether they are a team player, etc. If they are good and you like them, then tell them that if they applied to your Corp you would happily accept them. If they are not there yet, but they are fun to play with and showing promise, suggest to them that once they get some more practice and start doing better that they should consider sending in an application. A friendly suggestion like that can stick with a person, and when they do get good, they my choose your Corp over other prospects due to those early words of encouragement.
I do ask that if you are squadding with new players for Learning Coalition chat they you hold up your end of the bargain and try to advise the player and help them develop. Tell them if they are doing something wrong, but be understanding and encouraging. When they get good, they will remember those people who helped them along the way.

I've been on Dust since open beta, but I'm still not very good. I've also not played in an actual squad (as in one that co-operates). I mainly run scout, and transport pilot (I can't keep steady enough for a combat pilot) depending on the situation. I've noticed that transport is largely unused outside of an organized group--understandably--and I'm looking to become better as both a scout and a pilot, as well as finally get the experience of working in a cohesive group. Also I want to thank Fox Gadan for his written guides, because they helped me go from an absolutely awful player who barely manages to break even in a match to good enough to actually afford an assault dropship (which I am far from able to effectively pilot) without hours of grinding through matches that are basically just death-after-death. I can join a squad and get some help right? |

Any independent training corporation (as in not just a feeder for another Corp) that is dedicated to helping members of the DUST community improve their skills, may join the Learning Coalition, provided that there are no interpersonal or political conflicts that would be disruptive to the Coalition.
If you are the CEO of an established training Corp, and wish to become part of the Learning Coalition, then make a post explaining what your Corp is all about and ask for admission into the Learning Coalition. If it appears to be a viable training Corp, and there are no other issues, I (as Chairman of the Learning Coalition Council) will name your Corp as a member of the Learning Coalition and update our promotional material to include your Corp. (That sometimes takes some time.)
Of course, if a member of the Coalition Council objects to your Corp joining the Learning Coalition, then the Council will have to discuss the matter in more detail to determine what course of action to take. The Council includes the CEO of each Learning Coalition Corp, the 4 founding members, and the leader of any Learning Coalition Training Group. Some of the newer CEOGÇÖs have never participated in a Council discussion, as we have not had to have one since the Learning Coalition was founded, but they would be contacted if the situation arose.
We ask that member Corporations encourage all their members to join Learning Coalition chat.
Individuals can join the Learning Coalition as independent Instructors/Students by simply joining the chat channel.

CharCharOdell wrote:What it is: An in game extension of the Rookie Training Grounds made possible by community volunteers. How It Works: Join this chat channel: Learning Coalition Then speak up. Tell us what you want. First we will assess how new you are and go from there. We can teach you everything you need to know fr setting up your mic to how fittings work. From there, we can help you choose a trade, or help you improve on one you have started. Also note that brand new students are eligible for 2,000,000 ISK grants. If a brand new player chooses to do so, he can join Immortal Guides, a training corp for players around the 500k SP to 2mil SP mark. It teaches the basics of combat, economics, and the meta game that you will experience in New Eden. If you happen to like a certain play-style, it becomes something of a 'trade'. When you choose a trade, you may join Learning Coalition College. It is a corp that gives you ISK to learn, and designed for slightly more experienced players 2mil-6mil. They will walk you through to your proto-suit and above, if you choose. However, joining Learning Coalition College is not required to learn from us. From there on, Mango and Friends networking agency can help you find the corp that is right for you if you want to get into FW and PC, hardcore. The Mango has connections just about everywhere and a good word from a training alliance can do wonders. Beyond grants and a formal military service education, the Learning Coalition offers something to newberries that no other training institution offers, nor can be achieved without acceptance into an A-list corp----> the opportunity to play with players that have been here since the closed beta. A newberry has the chance to squad with some of the best players in New Eden, who will protect him, teach him the Art of War, and otherwise prevent pub stomps (students who wish to specialize in vehicles will also have access to free top tier vehicles); all courtesy of the Mango's network of Friendship throughout the absolute best corps. One of the greatest things the Learning Coalition provides to its students is Planetary Conquest training ops. These are real PC battles run between Immortal Guides and Learning Coalition College. They range from dropship flying lessons and LAV destruction derbies to skirmishes between two teams of students with a few mentors in as advisors. This means a student can receive experience running PCs like the top corps do, acting as a FC (battle commander), or SL (squad leader). The best part is that gear is limited to meta 2 and below (STD, MLT) so even new players are on relatively equal footing with veterans. To get into our PC training program, you must either pay a 5 mil entry fee OR join Learning Coalition College as a student (Recommendation from IG director and 1.5 mil ISK). IG students are permitted no more than 2 PC battles during their time in IG. Learning Coalition College students may play as much as available. The Learning Coalition has become huge, and because of this, we now have more mentors, instructors, and fellow newberries for you to play with who specialize in anything you could want to learn about. We will find you the best mentor possible to teach you everything you need to know. Upon completion of our extensive curriculum, you have the option to receive a Certificate (recommendation) from a top tier player in the area of your trade to aid you in joining the corporation you choose, as our goal is to make newberries into who they want to be, not what we want we want them to be. This high quality education does come at the cost of having a small number of available spots for students, as grants from Learning Coalition College are expensive to keep constant. This does not mean we will ever deny an eager student education; only Learning Coalition College grants.

To qualify for Corporate membership in the Learning Coalition a Corporation must be providing training which benefits the DUST Community.
The Basic Training Corp model is the most common, where new players join the Corp and receive training until they become competent enough to GÇ£GraduateGÇ¥ by joining a more competitive Corp. This helps the DUST Community because there is no restriction on which Corp they should graduate to, so any Corp may benefit from the Training CorpGÇÖs services by receiving a skilled and competent member.
Major PC Corps normally would not qualify because they train players specifically to fight for them. Likewise feeder Corps donGÇÖt qualify because they are training for the benefit of a specific Corp.
However there are other training models. An established PC Corp could qualify for Learning Coalition membership if they followed the Agony Unleashed model. Agony Unleashed is a competitive NPC Null Sec PVP Corp in EVE Online which also has a training department. They train people from other Corps in PVP (for a fee). They have been doing this for a very long time and are widely respected for the quality of their training.
So, if a PC Corp were to have an organized program for training members of other Corporations in tactics, roles, doctrine and other aspects of the game, it could qualify for Corporate membership in the Learning Coalition. I would say a big PC Corp would probably have to work a little harder to prove that they were providing a training service to the community, as they would receive more scrutiny from the public than a small Corp would.
Of course this does not preclude Basic Training Corps from dabbling in PC. Immortal Guides and BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades (before it disbanded as a Corp) each held a district in December, which we used for training matches and Dropship Flight School.
Immortal Guides also sponsors the Student Planetary Conquest Project. This is a student run project. A student must put together a team (there are rules around how many must be Immortal Guides members), and they must identify their FC, and squad leaders. Immortal Guides will provide them with experienced PC players to mentor them while they train to be an effective PC team. Once they are ready, the team leader will be given the Terrestrial Management Officer role, and their squad leaders will be given the Terrestrial Combat Officer role. I will then transfer sufficient funds in the Corp wallet for them to purchase a clone pack. They are free to select any district to attack. They are responsible for diplomacy and other meta game components of the attack. It is up to them whether they wish to negotiate a training match, or whether they attempt to flip a district. (They are expected to be honourable in any negotiations they make.) If they manage to capture a district, that student team maintains responsibility for that district. When the team leader graduates they have the option of transferring the district to their new Corp.
The Student Planetary Conquest Project is designed not just to train students in Planetary Conquest, but to train the students running the project to be future directors and CEOGÇÖs. It is a difficult task, but even complete failure can be a valuable learning opportunity.
As far as Ringers, we do not have any rule against members of Learning Coalition Corps ringing for other Corps. Members of Immortal Guides are free to do so. I place no restriction on who they can or cannot ring for. We are supposed to be mercenaries after all.

If you intend to provide services within the Learning Coalition, or you think you might some day, you should watch for the new thread and try to reserve a post on the first page to talk about your service, group, or Corporation.
