The '''Fleet Command Team''' is a part of the Chief Executive Officer's division within EVE University. It is led by the FC Team Manager. See [[EVE University Management]] for details on other departments and directorates.
  
Its main aims are to help train and develop the next generation of Fleet Commanders, and to organize strategic operations for the University. The team provides a forum for prospective fleet commanders to learn and experiment, maintains doctrines for University FCs to utilize for fleets, and provides resources along with other university departments for training new players in the basics of PvP fleet operations.

 +
== Objectives ==
 +
 
 +
The FC Team project aims to achieve the following objectives:
 +
 
 +
* Provide a structured and supportive environment for fleet commanders within EVE University.
 +
* Promote the progression and skill development of FCs at various experience levels.
 +
* Facilitate the sharing of knowledge and best practices among FC Team members.
 +
* Provide practical training to prospective FCs to improve their skills and confidence.
 +
* Enhance fleet coordination, efficiency, and effectiveness in PvP operations.
 +
* Form relationships and collaborate with other departments within EVE University.
 +
* Maintain a comprehensive documentation system to support FC training and fleet operations
 +
 
 +
== Ranks ==
 +
 
 +
On joining the FC Team, members will be allocated to one of the following ranks:
 +
* '''Junior FC:''' For members new to FCing, with little to no experience, but who have participated in PVP fleets.
 +
* '''Skirmish FC:''' For members with FCing experience, who are regularly leading fleets, and capable of mentoring newer players.
 +
* '''Senior FC:''' For experienced members who frequently lead fleets at an advanced level, who are capable of both providing mentorship to newer FCs, and/or contribute to strat ops and Uni PVP strategic planning
 +
 
 +
== Rules and Expectations ==
 +
 +
To maintain professionalism and ensure a conducive environment within the FC Team, the following rules and expectations apply:
 +
 
 +
# FC Team members must actively lead fleets. If they are unable FC for a while members should let the FCTOs know. If the FCTOs notice a team member has not run a fleet in a while they will check in to see if the member is still interested and see how they can provide support.
 +
# Members are expected to reflect on their fleet experiences and evaluate their performance, noting strengths and areas for improvement. AARs are highly encouraged, with the option for other members to provide feedback.
 +
# Skirmish FCs and Senior FCs must be willing to mentor Junior FCs to help them in their progression. This might be by inviting them to 2IC, involving them in command channels, back seating their fleets as support, assisting with practical exercises, providing feedback on AARs etc.
 +
# FC Team members represent the FC Team and are expected to maintain respectful interactions with each other and other members. Complaints or issues regarding attitude may result in removal from the FC Team, regardless of rank.
 +
# FCs are responsible for ensuring the well-being of new players within fleets, either through a short speech by the FC or by designating individuals to assist new players. The majority of our fleets should be new player friendly, and thought should be given to which flight deck ships a new member can fly to join in
 +
 
 +
== Outreach and Practical Training ==
 +
 
 +
To improve practical skills and confidence of FCs the following may be arranged:
 +
 
 +
* '''Guest Speakers:''' Experienced FCs from other corporations will be invited to share their FCing experiences with FC Team members.
 +
* '''Guest FCs:''' External FCs will occasionally lead fleets to introduce members to alternative fleet commanding approaches.
 +
* '''Practical Exercises:''' Opportunities for practical exercises, such as spearfishing and capital ship operations, will be organised, in cooperation with the PVP Study Groups.
 +
* '''Summer Camps:''' Special events to build camaraderie and give FC team members experience of the logistics of FCing from a different perspective
 +
* '''Sleepovers:''' FC team members may be given the opportunity to temporarily join another corporation to get experience of the way they do things, and then are fast-tracked back into EVE Uni afterwards
  
The FC Team is a successor to the old [[Fleet Commanders Course]] that was closed in early 2020. The FC Team was created in its place primarily to remove restrictions and requirements on members, as well as consolidating its focus on PvP fleet command only.

== Joining the FC Team ==
The FC Team consists of three main sections: Junior FCs, Fleet Commanders, and Senior FCs.
 
 
 
* Junior FCs are entry-level members for those who lack prior FC experience, or experience from long ago in EVE's past. Anyone can lead a fleet within EVE University, but Junior FCs have access to internal team resources and FC Team members to facilitate their education in basic fleet command. JFCs are encouraged to pursue any fleet operations they find interest in, whether that be large strategic operations, smaller quick response fleets (QRFs), or public NPSI fleets (such as [https://www.spectre-fleet.space/ Spectre Fleet] or [https://www.bombersbar.org/ Bombers Bar])
 
 
 
* Fleet Commanders are members of the team who have demonstrated basic fleet command experience after several fleets in different regions of space and of at least Cruiser-sized compositions, and are beginning to learn more advanced or nuanced aspects of Fleet Command. They are expected to share their experience with Junior FCs, and help expand FC Team resources for members to reference.
 
 
 
* Senior FCs are commanders who have proven, exceptional skill with various types of fleet commanding within EVE. They are considered experts within the Team, and are excellent resources to draw from. Senior FCs are expected to work with the FC Team leadership to help continually improve the FC Team program and help determine its future.
 
 
 
FC Team members can request a performance review with FC Team management to evaluate what they need to improve on, or to be considered for a promotion within the team. This can be done by contacting a FC Team Officer.

== Resources ==

As a member of the FC team you can expect:  
The FC Team aims to provide out-of-game resources for Fleet Commanders to reference as they learn. Some of these resources are internal to the team and can be found on the [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=303 FC Team Sub Forum]
 
  
In addition to the Forum and Discord channels, FC Team members can reference the [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=186 After Action Report Library] to learn from recent Uni fleets and get ideas and feedback for future fleets. Members are encouraged ''(but not required)'' to contribute to the AAR Library with short writeups explaining what occurred during the fleet, and what they learned from choices made during any engagements.
+
* '''Rank Progression:''' Whether you're a rookie or a veteran, we've got a spot for you. Our ranks span from Junior FCs, Skirmish FCs, to Senior FCs, allowing you to grow and learn at your own pace. In addition we have the new rank of Strat FC.
 +
* '''Mentorship and Training:''' Our seasoned FCs are here to guide and mentor you every step of the way. We believe in learning by doing, and what better way to learn than under the guidance of experienced pilots?
 +
* '''Practical Experience:''' From leading frigate fleets to coordinating large-scale battles, you'll get hands-on experience in various fleet compositions and tactics.
 +
* '''Collaboration:''' We're not just a team; we're part of EVE University as a whole. You'll have the opportunity to collaborate with other EVE University departments and NPSI groups to expand your horizons and share your knowledge.
  
If you have not organized a Fleet before within the University, you can refer to [[Forming fleets in EVE University]] to get an idea for planning your first fleet. The [[Fleet Command Basics]] page is useful for getting an idea as to what to expect when sitting in the captain's chair for the first time.
+
So, are you ready to embark on an exciting journey as a PVP fleet commander? Join us, and let's make EVE Online history! Remember, no matter your level of experience, a passion for learning, leading, and of course, space explosions, is all you need.
  
EVE University is a new player friendly organization, and you are likely to have pilots who have never joined a PvP fleet before. [[The Rookie's Guide to Fleet Ops]] is an excellent reference, both to point new fleetmates towards, and to know what you should go over during a fleet Newbro speech if requested.

Crimson Harvest Spooky Eagle Logo.png This page is specific to EVE University. Other corporations or groups in the game may operate differently.
For a summary of EVE University's rules and code of conduct, see EVE University Rules.

What is the FC Team?

The Fleet Command Team is a part of the Chief Executive Officer's division within EVE University. It is led by the FC Team Manager. See EVE University Management for details on other departments and directorates.

Note that the FC Team is focused on PVP FCing only. There are other places you can learn PVE and mining FCing.

Objectives

The FC Team project aims to achieve the following objectives:

  • Provide a structured and supportive environment for fleet commanders within EVE University.
  • Promote the progression and skill development of FCs at various experience levels.
  • Facilitate the sharing of knowledge and best practices among FC Team members.
  • Provide practical training to prospective FCs to improve their skills and confidence.
  • Enhance fleet coordination, efficiency, and effectiveness in PvP operations.
  • Form relationships and collaborate with other departments within EVE University.
  • Maintain a comprehensive documentation system to support FC training and fleet operations

Ranks

On joining the FC Team, members will be allocated to one of the following ranks:

  • Junior FC: For members new to FCing, with little to no experience, but who have participated in PVP fleets.
  • Skirmish FC: For members with FCing experience, who are regularly leading fleets, and capable of mentoring newer players.
  • Senior FC: For experienced members who frequently lead fleets at an advanced level, who are capable of both providing mentorship to newer FCs, and/or contribute to strat ops and Uni PVP strategic planning

Rules and Expectations

To maintain professionalism and ensure a conducive environment within the FC Team, the following rules and expectations apply:

  1. FC Team members must actively lead fleets. If they are unable FC for a while members should let the FCTOs know. If the FCTOs notice a team member has not run a fleet in a while they will check in to see if the member is still interested and see how they can provide support.
  2. Members are expected to reflect on their fleet experiences and evaluate their performance, noting strengths and areas for improvement. AARs are highly encouraged, with the option for other members to provide feedback.
  3. Skirmish FCs and Senior FCs must be willing to mentor Junior FCs to help them in their progression. This might be by inviting them to 2IC, involving them in command channels, back seating their fleets as support, assisting with practical exercises, providing feedback on AARs etc.
  4. FC Team members represent the FC Team and are expected to maintain respectful interactions with each other and other members. Complaints or issues regarding attitude may result in removal from the FC Team, regardless of rank.
  5. FCs are responsible for ensuring the well-being of new players within fleets, either through a short speech by the FC or by designating individuals to assist new players. The majority of our fleets should be new player friendly, and thought should be given to which flight deck ships a new member can fly to join in

Outreach and Practical Training

To improve practical skills and confidence of FCs the following may be arranged:

  • Guest Speakers: Experienced FCs from other corporations will be invited to share their FCing experiences with FC Team members.
  • Guest FCs: External FCs will occasionally lead fleets to introduce members to alternative fleet commanding approaches.
  • Practical Exercises: Opportunities for practical exercises, such as spearfishing and capital ship operations, will be organised, in cooperation with the PVP Study Groups.
  • Summer Camps: Special events to build camaraderie and give FC team members experience of the logistics of FCing from a different perspective
