First of all you need to meet the personal requirements for an FC ... plus:

You need to be calm but not passive. Easily understandable in Voice (good mic). You need to know how incursion fleets work (Setup for dps and logis). Know the sites in and out and have some experience about what you can do as a fleet and what you cant do.

And if you think smacking a tag on your ship "Im an FC" will get you on the easy street of incursions ... think again. It will require more attention from you then either logi/dps piloting.

All in all if you **** up as incursion fc you will be blacklisted as being a griefer (that you very well might be and trying to mask it as incompetence)

Might be easier to just get your ship more "wanted" for the fleets then going the "I shall be the greatest fc in the world" route.

FCing incursions is pretty easy. You tell the fleet when to warp into the site and what order to shoot things in. That's it, no thought or skill is required. You are a fully qualified incursion FC despite having never FC'd one.

This, 3/4 of your fleet has done this so many times that outside of shooting the Romis in order in a NMC, it's pretty easy. Ammzi has a great website/blog on how to do it all too.

I'm a horrible PVPer and a diehard carebear, but fc'ing Incursions was the fastest way to fun and profit for me. It paid for a lot of other stuff I'd rather be doing instead. There's no variation in Vanguards and assault fleets are more social gatherings with those too bothered to compete in VG sites. I honestly can't wait till they redo incursions. There is no reason a 10 man fleet should outdo a 20 man fleet. VG's should be a stepping stone to better rewards in higher level sites, not the path to easy riches.

FCing Vanguards is relatively easy... FCing an Assault or HQ is like herding cats

Unfortunely over the past few weeks getting into incursions is a bit tuffer due to a rash of griefers so in a week or 2 you may see some easing in getting into fleets if that eases up... right now people are a bit paranoid & closing ranks a bit (ie flying with only those they know) sorta sucks for people trying to break into incursions right now I'm sure. May be a good time to try to convince corpies that have been running incursions to let you stick with them so you can both get into a fleet?

Fc-ing an incursion can be pisseasy, and people think it reqquires no skill. Until you meet me, and suddenly everything goes faster, you never warp on top of half finished sites, there's always enough people in fleet always an,ofgrid booster, and when things go apshit and logis dc, I pull everyone out with ships intact, that's when you know you met a real fc.

FC for incursions?

Well first you get a nice cut of chicken then add it to some hot oil in a pan over a medium to high flame until the skin is nice and crispy.

If you don't feel like doing all that work try KFC for a bucket of original before you start isk farming.

Its Incursions not pvp. Fc'ing anything pve is almost boring compared to real fc'ing. Not trying to knock it but tbh it aint that hard.
