While SgtRaider does have a point, his post is at best all over the place.
There are players commanding who should try harder. Some FCs seem to care very little about basics like scouting, while others are perpetually outnumbered.
There is no shame in running from a fight that your experience tells you is going to be a one sided mess. Trying to re-position your fleet or simply trying to get away from superior numbers as also "good FCing."
OPs idea The whole name & shame idea behind the original post is misguided at best. You might get a few "hits," but most posts are likely to be from players like SgtRaider. Players who have had a few bad experiences, and rage-post the unlucky FCs name all over the place.
My suggestion is to grab cheaper ships, lean back and watch what the FCs do wrong. Make notes, come up with alternate ways of doing things and when you are ready, simply take command of a fleet yourself - sometimes the only way to get things done right, is to do them yourself.
Location location location The General forum area is also a bad place to post a thread like this. Since posting traffic is high in here, the thread is likely to be bumped to page two in mere hours.
Rage content The amount of cursing and "explaining" in the OP makes it hard to take seriously. Indeed some forum members have already called the obligatory "Troll is Troll." If you truly want people to "name & shame" the "Brave, Brave Sir Robin"-type FCs, then remain calm, cool & collected. State the purpose of the thread:
Originally by: "Suggestion" The purpose of this thread is to give members of all factions a place to name the really crappy FCs.
I leave it up to each poster to determine what constitutes "bad FCing," but try to remain on-topic.
Hopefully the really terrible Faction FC will find it harder and harder to assemble fleets for them to throw away/abandon (you know you they are.)
See how my post is direct and to the point. Sure people might still troll it, and think I am stupid, but if the original poster (SgtRaider) had considered how he could get his message across, this thread could have been a good resource for faction-pilots.
Instead it is a mess, just like the mess he is trying to combat (irony?) |

Running forever, yes, but to certain point missions DO work as a nice trainer  |

Edited by: Rodj Blake on 19/01/2009 11:53:57 An FC is only as good as the pilots in the fleet.
If every FC you fly under fails, then perhaps the best place to look for the problem is in the mirror.
It's also worth pointing out that FCing becomes infinitely more difficult when you've never flown with 75% of your underlings before. |

I have been in the militia when it first startet out. Back then alot "tryed" to become a good FC, but alot failed. I have lost ships to FC`s getting out without any notice or he missed gang warp and first when he was safe, telling the rest to get out.
FC`s come in all shapes, only a few i have met in my time in eve can be considered good FC`s then there is a fair number of ok FC`s and a big number of bad FC`s
about the part leave (run)
it comes down to the same idea, stabs or no stabs. I dont like running from a battle and die because of this, but i know it and are aware of it.
best advice. Dont jump into any fleet, be critical and use common sence. Dont give up, and you can always test a FC out by jumping into a frigate and join a few fleets.
Think thats all

Originally by: SgtRaider Seems there is only an instance to run, like a coward, as this is a server based game.
When the FC decides to run, he gives the command and he is gone, by then you are left behind holding the bag of crap while it burns.
How about staying and killing what you can when you get caught with your pants down instead of leaving others behind?
Or does this negate the FC book of survival?

I like boobies, explosions, and car chases.
I can see it now: A big breasted amazon driving a car through a bunch of explosions!
Tissues! Where are my tissues! Quick with the tissues before the monitor gets it!
If you don't like an FC don't follow him/her into the jaws of hell. If you think you can do better then step up to the plate, else shut up.
I still need them friggen tissues. |

Quoting. There's no excuse to not be aligned in fleets now tat they put it in the menu. |

Originally by: SgtRaider I have been paying and playing for over 7 months now and I have recently revisited the militia ( I joined before to see what it was all about)after gaining more skill points. So far I have been a part of 4 different losing fleets commanded by people who like to run from a fight instead of stay and fight resulting in my losing ships trying to help those who stay behind or get stuck behind after the other cowards run. The result from the running are many chats about why did we run or what is going on etc. I know most of you will reply with bull**** answers saying don't fleet or some other smart ass comment, but the fact that older players running this game like noobs still exist. I ran missions forever trying to gain experience, when I join what I thought was a group of individuals who knew how to PVP I was more then disappointed. There were fleets where we ran from system to system following enemy pilots saying "we will head them off" and "we will meet them in thi sytem", only to get blown to freagn hell. Piloting from systme to system doing nothing but listening to bull**** the whole time. I can not believe that there are players out there being called fleet commanders who do not know how to put on pants never the less form a fleet and command it. Just because you train it on this game does not make you a commander of anything and most should be demoted, which brings me to my post.
If you have been a part of a fleet who was run by some sorry ass fleet commander then put this characters name here. Check back and the next time your joining a fleet, you may want to check here and see if the FC is a puss or not, may save you plenty of time and ISK. 
I've found out whats wrong with your FC.
Its you.

SgtRaider...I understand your original post and all...but every post after that has made you look more like some moron that just lost his ship and is crying on the forums about it, blaming it on the FC...
I'm not saying that's what happened, I'm just saying YOU are doing a VERY good job in making it look that way...

Okay okay, so I was in fleet with SgtRaider the other day right, and this massive gank squad undocks from a local station and immediately proceeds to warp to our own gang. Probably had a covert ops watching us and positioning for the gank squad warp-in the whole time, but whatever. Anyway the FC says bail because he knows this fight is going to be stupidly one-sided. I'm in a battleship which I usually don't fly because I hate how slow they are on alignment, but I figured I'd fit a cloak which maybe hopefully would add some protection if things went badly and I needed to hide while the ungainly thing aligned towards a safespot. Well anyway long story short I cloak up and what do I see?
The whole fleet warping out except for two guys: some unfortunate gang member in another battleship who was tackled all to hell, and SgtRaider attempting to "help" said individual by attacking the enemy gank squad which outnumbered us on-grid at this point by about ten to one. Needless to say SgtRaider made this thread, perhaps as a result of the FC's decision to save the majority of the gang at the expense of those who were already beyond help. As for me I warped out safely while they were going to town on SgtRaider 
==-->None of this story is actually true<--==
You SERIOUSLY need to amend this to the top of your post. Because you're misleading people. Especially those who don't finish your post all the way to the end, and come out of it with assumptions.
Character assassination is not a kind thing to do, regardless of how this guy is behaving on the forum. Let him kill himself. [He seems to be doing a fine job of it already.]

I'd argue that this depends on the class of ship being talked about. It'd be suicide for a cruiser/frigate/interceptor to always be aligned, when they have to maneuver around the larger ships in order to stay alive.

If the OP was in an intercepter/cruiser/frigate then he has no excuse for not getting out when the FC gave the order.
Either way it's his (or anybody who gets stuck behind in a fleet encounter)'s fault. |
