Warfare & Tactics

I haven't been in New Eden very long (2 months) but I've had nothing but good experiences with FCs in the CFC. They've all been helpful and patient with my stupid newbro questions. Similarly, my fleet members in the first fleet I FCed were understanding of my lack of experience and offered plenty of helpful advice.

Are there really FCs out there that are dicks to individuals in their fleets? It's a spaceship game for fucks sake, we're all logged in to have some fun! I can't imagine getting upset about some spaceship explosions, we can always just reship and give it another go.

I have FCed small to med (2-40) fleets and been under FCs who are really cool and weren;t drama queens. I have been in fleets with the biggest bablies who cried and emoraged like aholes (Maka, PK, etc. ) and it's really sad but most are just jerks because they can be a jerk. They powertrip in their mom's basement and treat people bad for no really good reason but because it makes them feel better to do so because they suck so bad IRL.



I understand frustratiion with retards in fleet and people losing their cool. It happens to us all at times.

And there are some really good FC's I have been under have that have never acted a like a 2 yr old who didn;t get their way. Definate and Ral/Phoenix are a few. And I know there are other FCs who are good FCs and treat people with respect on comms.

Their really is no good excuse for emoraging FCs. They are just childish pukes who happen to be good at FCing but shite with people.

They need to feel good by putting everyone down because they were/are builled IRL and need to take it out on someone else.

The excuse that no one will step up and FC so they get bitter is crap because it is hard to learn how to be an FC in most corps/alliances because the entrenched FCs rarely let others have any glory. They want to be the hero. And they need an excuse to crybaby.


FCing a grind like missions? lol I don't think so. I have FCed on different characters and it never felt like a grind and a dreaded thing to do. Why? Because I LIKE to pvp. If people are hating FCing they need to quit and go mining or whatever.


I know this, treating people with respect will you get respect and more numbers in fleet. And the results will be better and you get people wanting to fly what is needed when asked. I know, revolutionary thought!

I am a friendly FC lol!

Althought to be fair, when I FC I am usually getting drunk ;)

Jessie Arr was the first FC I ever had.

He set the bar really high.

But sometimes FC's need to show some tough love. The classic "I don't want to fly what you want me to fly" statement springs to mind.

Fatmanpaul from the minmatar militia > the most patient, calming, and effective FC ive flown with. If you ever get a chance to be in one of his happy killing fleets get in it, listen, and learn. Top guy. I think i secretly <3 him a bit.

Also > confirming ''back seat FCs who never step up'' being the single biggest irritant in the game. Worse than Dan Carter Murray.

for a year or something I was in Raiden. RDN FCs were all pretty chill and funny to fly with.
Most chil FC's I've ever dealt with.

"Dan Carter Murray/Murphy or whatever is one of the most annoying whiners I have had the displeasure of encountering in EVE. unfortunately that guy is way too immature in local smack/whining for my tastes."

Yes some can. Yes you do get some shouty 'i have no power in my real life so i want to be work though my issues on others'

For good fun FCs see:

Securitas

RvB's Ganked FCs

Ammzi

Aquilla Sagatta

Soulripper666 and Spooni (really they just seem grumpy).

I have however flown with some total tools. One thing that helps keep FCs from being tools is to follow instructions and don't talk over them.

However in Eve as in life there are people who just want to be incharge for thier own power trip...this tends to be the FCs who are tools.
