    I'm frustrating my guild mate not calling out ships. How do I call out a ship and which ones are best to call out? Thanks

    The three dots in the lower right corner of your screen will bring up the communication wheel, which has a "Yes/No" option, as well as the four commands around the edge, which are Attack, Together, Help, and Capture. If you're locked on to a ship, the "Attack!" command will put the target icon over their head and send the message of "Destroy (Enemy Name)!" You can also tap and slide further outwards from the four commands to show a ship list - Attack will show enemies, so you can call out one that you can't see or aren't locked on to. The other three will show your teammates, and become "Follow (Teammate)", "Help (Teammate)" and "(Teammate), go capture"

    As far as which ships are best to call out, it will depend on the team composition and the current state of battle. Generally speaking, in a mixed team, you're trying to shoot down the enemy Fixer first so their source of heals is cut off. Once that's done, you want to cut off their highest-DPS boat next, so usually their top-tier Shooter.

    But map awareness plays into it. Did their one Shooter go off on its own, away from the healing beams of the enemy Fixer? Everyone pile on and sink it quickly. Do you have eyes on four of them, but their Speeder is strangely not with the group? Watch your six - they're probably sneaking up behind you, so if you see a new red arrow, switch and call out with a "Help!" and "Destroy Speeder!" before they surprise you with a Big Torpedo in the rudder area.

    Yes, hold and swipe "outward" from the circle on one of the commands on the edge. Selecting yourself will result in "Follow Me!" "Help Me!" or "I'll go capture!"
