Overall evaluation
- ✔ (Positive stuff)
1 - I successfully made it through my first fleet without welping all of us!
2 - This fleet provided me with a good introduction to my strong points (not many) and my weak points.
3 - I was able to provide a decent learning environment for the newbros.
✘ (Negative stuff)
1 - I am quite slow at making decisions and processing the relevant information from the irrelevant information.
2 - I was slow to react when my fleet members were in danger of being killed; especially scouts.
3 - I don't have a good grasp of the Black Rise region and where the hot spots are.
4 - I don't have a good grasp of ship types and which one poses the greatest threat. In particular, I have not memorized the ships that provide logistical support.
5 - I am bad at keeping control of comms. At times, people were saying "warp here warp here" without consulting me at first. This was caused by me not being assertive enough with my control of the fleet.
6 - I am bad at avoiding comms silence.
7 - I often tell the fleet to hold fire and might have killed a scout or a fleet member in the process.
Starting off, I called for the fleet to undock. I sent one scout to check Dastryns and the other the plus one for me. As the first few systems were deserted, we moved onto Agoze where we got our first kill. Initially, I thought that the Tornado was just going to kite our brawling Punishers from the edge of space. One of my scouts convinced me to take it; this resulted in the first kill of my career as an FC. Afterward, we continued on our planned route to Eha. Unfortunately, one of our scouts lost their Atron while away from the fleet as I was to slow to react to the developing situation. I believe that the ability to move the fleet faster to come to the aid of scouts will come with practice.
Moving on, one of our scouts found an Algos that we quickly ganked and ran; no need to stay around. The same event occurred in Akidagi. Surprisingly, we were unable to find any targets to engage except the Tormenter in Akidagi. In Hikkoken we were able to find a Vengence that we, again, quickly ganked and ran.
When the fleet got into Kedama, I decided to gate-camp the Tama gate. During our time, we lost a few ships and killed a few. In highlight, we almost killed a Stratios that came through the gate. We were, unfortunately, unable to get enough DPS and webs on it before it jumped back. When I decided to chase a ship into Tama, I killed one of our Punishers on accident.
On our way back, we came across an Enyo and an Iskhur fighting a Jackdaw outside of a plex. As I was not with the fleet at the moment, someone had to take control of the situation while I wasn't there. It was my fault I wasn't there since I was slow on processing the information. I believe that this was one of my major mistakes since as FC I should always have control of the situation. In the future, I plan on improving this by practicing my situational awareness and observing how more experienced FC's react in this situation. In highlight, we were able to pop a shiny pod on our last fight.
Analysis of my mistakes:
1 - "I am quite slow at making decisions and processing the relevant information from the irrelevant information."
I plan on improving on this my not being scared to take out fleets and make mistakes. The best way to learn how to analyze information in a timely manner is to practice in the live situation. Even if I make mistakes doing it, I will be able to learn from my mistakes.
2 - "I was slow to react when my fleet members were in danger of being killed; especially scouts."
This goes along with my previous point. In the future, I wish to improve on this by paying closer attention to my scouts and their position in relation to the fleet. If I pay closer attention, I won't have to ask the scouts which system they are in or what they are being attacked my multiple times. Also, paying close attention to comms will help me analyze the information scouts are giving be better.
3 - "I don't have a good grasp of the Black Rise region and where the hot spots are."
When we finished our initial route to Eha, I had to ask my fleet members where to go next. Even though I was using Doltan to orient myself, I was unable to grasp fast enough where to go for the most content. I plan on improving on this by doing more solo and small gang PVP out in the Black Rise/Placid area. Doing this will help build the mental image of my surroundings and my help build situational awareness. Also, this may help in me being able to send scouts to systems off of our path to find potential targets.
4 - "I don't have a good grasp of ship types and which one poses the greatest threat. In particular, I have not memorized the ships that provide logistical support."
Since I have only been actively playing Eve for the past month and a half, I am still new to the ship types. During my free time, I study various topics about Eve so that one day I may be able to react to situations faster and call primaries in a fleet faster. In particular, I need to memorize the logi ships as they indirectly pose the greatest threat to my fleet.
5 - "I am bad at keeping control of comms. At times, people were saying "warp here warp here" without consulting me at first. This was caused by me not being assertive enough with my control of the fleet."
Due to my quiet nature, I am not assertive enough and I am not able to keep combat comms in my fleet. I plan on improving this by attempting to speak up more and voice my opinion in a situation. Not hide in the corner and let others do it for me.
6 - "I am bad at avoiding comms silence."
After my fleet was over, I was notified that there were moments during my fleet that my tendency not to speak and be quiet is not good for an FC. In particular, this is the one situation that I don't know the solution to. I don't know what I could be talking about or saying during the moments that I am quiet. Any tips guys?
7 - "I often tell the fleet to hold fire and might have killed a scout or a fleet member in the process."
After the fleet, I was told that it is a bad idea to hold fire. Due to my bad situational awareness when I am being provided a substantial amount of information I don't understand and evaluate the state of the scouts and fleet members fast enough. When I call to hold fire is it a split second decision that for some reason I don't put a good amount of thought into it. In the future, this will improve with flying more fleets and observing more experienced FC's when I am in fleets.
I would like to give a special thanks to the members of Hidden Flame for making my first fleet a fun, easy environment. Also, I would like to give thanks to the members of the uni who bore with me as I learned from my mistakes during this fleet.
And as always, fly dangerously.
