FC Team

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 apart 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.

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 some 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, and who are capable of both providing mentorship to newer FCs, and contributing to strat ops and Uni PVP in general

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
• 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

Resources

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 FC Team Sub Forum

In addition to the Forum and Discord channels, FC Team members can reference the 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.

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.

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.
