I want to talk about Fleet Commanders

I did most of my talking here in this video where I comment on 3 very different FC's in Low Sec ,A Wormhole, and in 0.0

I'm sure a lot of you have either flown with someone or had people fly with you so...

Thoughts?

Sure is a lot of blobbing in those videos

When/if I FC, I expect everyone in fleet to be on their ball, because I try to avoid stupid losses

What this man says. Tried and tested method, still the most popular fleet action by far, cannot go wrong.

a glossary of common fleet words might come in handy.

ingate/outgate
'broadcast' and 'linked in fleet'
best speed/burn
wwwww
anchor
pounce/ping
lemming

n00bs tend to go gate to gate and not think about stuff like pounce points
n00bs just don't understand warping to a person, even when on watch list
n00bs don't understand the concept of 'battlecomms'

anyways, great video and it really doesn't need a glossary. What do i think makes a great FC? repetition and 'situational awareness' (knowing terrain, good at intel)...what makes a bad FC? allowing backseat FCing from whiny bitches, foot dragging or waiting around for some guy 10 jumps out wanting to join, lack of 'rock paper scissor' tactical wisdom, confusing directions and dropping the 'j' word too much causing lemmings, plus not having a good scout. The biggest red flag of a bad FC is not having pounce points off gates and just loitering on gates too long and too many times (i'm not talking about the normal 'hold on gate' stuff for the +1 scout to report)

I think repetition is number 1. the patience to post destination YET AGAIN in fleet, and the wisdom to repeat transit/target orders verbally is key. repetition, repetition, repetition.

not really fcing tho....more like whelp scenarios

tho In honesty , fcing while everything is going well/massivly outnumbering the enemy is fairly easy......when unexpected things happenes and people isnt listening and your own adrenaline start pumping and you gotto multi account while fcing, well thats more challanging.
