What do you like an fc to be able to bring to a fleet? Knowledge, fun, kills, drunken roams. Everytime you read this you are required to send 100 million isk directly to me. |

A proper headset. Nothing worse than listening to some echo chamber because his mike is eight feet away from him.

Calm. Well spoken. Displays humorous bravado (in small bursts). Shrugs off failure with a grin. Delegates authority to a few other well spoken people in the event of his/her demise. Is willing to go "balls deep / Leeroy Jenkins"... yet is sane enough to recognize that there some situations that are just too suicidal to be fun.
And... most importantly... drinking. I require all my FCs to be somewhere at or beyond the "Ballmer peak!" Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

Personally, I like FCs that know how to communicate effectively. Aside from a good headset, they should at least have a basic understanding of voice procedure (that may seem a bit pedantic, but there are reasons why pro-words are short and easy to comprehend).
Most important (to me) in an FC is self-confidence: an FC has to be able to make snap decisions, often with only a few seconds' notice, and if they hesitate because people might get mad at them, the fleet will get pulped. |

Minus the drinking (this whole "drinking is super cool" is silly imo) most importantly; knowing wtf he's doing and understanding the (in)capabilities of the ships he commands. May sound obvious, yet most FCs suck. I've only ever had 2 really good FCs in all my years, ones who's orders I'd never question because I knew that if I felt it to be mistaken it would probably be because of a lack of information on my side, rather than just not trusting the guy because he messes up at times. |

3 key traits to being a successful FC:
1. Don't eat, drink, breathe or perform any other noisy bodily activities near the microphone. 2. Speak clearly. 3. Don't suck at FCing.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

I like it when my FCs are clear, and I sometimes do like repition, as I sometimes fail to hear the FC the first time for some reason or another. Otherwise, I do prefer an FC who allows some chatter so we can have a lauch in eventlessroams, but yet knows when to call comms and get everyone to shut up. The biggest thing I like is when the FC appropriately distriburtes loot. If no one dies, then I really don't care if other people manage to scrounge the loot first. But if we kill a particularily shiny kill, I like it when the FC splits the earnings. If someone loses a ship, I think it's best when loot goes to the person who lost their ship to help compensate. When I do lose a ship, and the FC doesn't ensure I get any of the loot everyone else snagged, I tend to not like flying with that FC anymore. Indesicive FCs are annyoing too, you're leading us, make a decision! Even if it's a suicide attack, let's just go for it. |

A good FC must:
understand that ships explode, even in this fleet. It is fun, it is ok. In fact, sometimes it is damned hilarious.
say the word "jump" multiple times in rapid succession, sometimes singing them like a song. This alleviates boredom. "jump-jump-jump! Jump now! jump-jump!"
*not* have screaming kids and barking dogs and insane roommates yelling 3 inches from the microphone. Get a headset and tell everyone else to shut the hell up. Put the dogs outside, where they can **** off the neighbors or better yet try training them not to bark. Derp.
be willing and have the patience to deal with those who may be new to fleet activities! For EVE to stay alive, we must all do our part. An FC who is a jackass to the inexperienced can really shut people down and get them to leave the game entirely. |

...including a good mic. Broken comms sucks donkey-**** in the military, it sucks donkey-**** in Eve. And plenty of sleep, that helps...a lot! |

The ability to find a fight even if the original target didn't happen. Never keep the fleet waiting an hour or more then "target didn't happen, stand down" - you have a fleet, use it for something even if it's a "reship for drunk roam".
Not to form a fleet then "surprise it's a structure shooting op" - this gets old fast.
Intelligence, not just blindly warping to 0 on a target everytime.
Ability to keep their head and not panic even when things go wrong. |

I like my FC's to:
* Yell battlecries as we warp into the dangerzone * To play Dangerzone on priority speaker as we warp into said dangerzone * GIve orders to web, scram and hold the enemy FC then find the backup FC and anchor then kill all of them in the first minute of the fight
These are the most important qualities of an FC. It also helps if they know what they're doing. |
