Are you exposing the fact that I’ve not yet flown fleet BS or FSI? Thanks for filling in the bits that I don’t know about yet.

That's cool, man. There is nothing like knowing what your enemy can do. Back in the day when I was just a humble Rifter pilot I spent ages studying all the ships I might come across and learning their strengths and weaknesses. Obviously that was just a select number of ships, for a nullsec FC the list is almost endless.

Wensley, I too want to step up and FC but am consistently forgetting the damned gallente ships ( I only have 1 character that fly gallenete BS, and I don't fly her much) Thats one of the main reasons I started trainign other ships so I can learn more about em to be able to properly call targets.

The individual glory is cool and everything but I do my best to get myself recognised in fleet the good way and have been known to fly around yelling at the other support pilots when I'm not happy with everything. If it all works out here I'd really like to step up and try my hand at being support FC from time to time. I want to make sure I know all the roles from flying them before I do though.

Competence of the FC is important but he has to have a disciplined fleet with all the right tools to be able to do it.

Damn Wens, you make this 0.0 thing sound so fun. I think your right about large scale fleet warefare being more than just pressing the F buttons. But from what I remember the competence of your FC has a much greater bearing than in small scale pvp. You know as well as any that a single rifter pilot can change the course of a small lowsec belt engagement.

Don't you miss the individual glory yet? Or perhaps you've already established yourself as the frigate king of 0.0 as well.

Very much enjoyed this. Makes me want to shake off the carebear and head out to 0.0. Still working on the T2 BS skills, but am close.

Yeah, there are a couple issues with insurance that need to be addressed…..

Damn you, you keep dashing my dreams, man ^_^ but I see what you are saying about HAC in fleet not bein all that practical wallet-wise.

Like I said I have other things to do in the mean time, it's not like I am ready to go to null just yet. But I will be flying all BCs in a couple of days, so the time may be sooner than I think.

At any rate, keep the great reports coming.
