When they start doing that: "User disconnected from your channel".


Yeah that's the worst. When I FC I say it once, if you missed it then you're on your own.

Clarity of speech. And a voice that won't put me to sleep.

I don't care if you sound like the More Dots guy, or if you endlessly throw me into the meat grinder, so long as I can understand commands and you aren't boring.

There is no need to repeat what you say more than two or three times if you're in a fleet that is listening...
If they're not listening, repeating it over and over won't change that fact. I've seen multiple videos of NPSI fleets where the FC constantly repeats his words over and over and some moron is still shooting the damned Vagabond...

Can't say I have experienced the above myself, just what I have seen on youtube...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

Pants is my in-game FC.

Buckley is my IRL FC.

IMHO, the best trait for a FC is remembering it's all just a game, and it's not that serious.

Don't be an ass, have a sense of humor.

Also, make sure you have good stories. Nothing better than a good DBRB story, when you're bashing a POS...I mean, killing a tackled super that just looks like a POS.

But...that's the best part. Oh, man, you haven't experienced pure Eve bliss until you here somebody flip their you-know-what over half the fleet jumping when they're not suppose to or someone not paying attention and putting damage on the wrong target or committing fratricide unintentionally.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

Sobriety, calmness, and the willingness to mute people who don't know when to stay quiet.

Sexy seductive female voice that constantly teases me and makes me feel like desired fleet mate. Every so often she moans into chat like you wouldn't believe, and then asks if she was a bad girl! I then proceed to say yes baby, yes you are a bad girl baby and you know how I like it! She then thrusts her ship wildly into mine so recklessly indicating she wants some action which I gladly give her as I thrust mine back into hers. Also has to be willing to order me around for the glory of her pleasure! I will exact revenge on her foes for rewards of her choosing.

This is the way it should be, always and forever!

One does not learn this art. They are born with the gift...and a mutated liver.

FC should have a Scottish/English midlands accent, always speak in low-key monotone, at the same pace and low volume, no matter what's going on. When you picture him in your mind's eye, he should look like the wood's hermit guy on the left, but skinnier and more gnome-like.

Positive outlook / demeanour regardless of what is happening.
Not too loud.
Charismatic.
Not treating FCing like this awful job that needs to be done.

Play to have fun - I'd rather no fleet over an angry "Fine then!" fleet.
