The current schedule of reward payouts for new FCs and backseat FCs is as follows:
First Fleet: 400 million
Second Fleet: 300 million
Third Fleet: 300 million
Backseat FCs: 100m/fleet
Unsurprisingly, these rewards are aimed at new FCs within Brave. That means both those who are brand new to FCing as a whole, as well as those who are new to Brave but have been an FC elsewhere. You'll get rewards for your first three (3) fleets either way.
There are no real restrictions on what constitutes a fleet. It can be anything from a fast and loose formation within standing fleet, to a chill ADM fleet, to a hectic filament adventure, to a pre-pinged content roam. So long as it's a group, and you are at the helm calling the shots, it'll count.
Anyone who already has any level of FC tags within Brave can act as a backseat FC.
By the time you have claimed all three rewards, you'll hopefully have learned a good bit and determined whether or not being an FC is something you want to continue to do. Either way, you'll have already written and posted 3 AARs and that will put you well on your way to earning FC tags.
So from here, head on over to the military page to learn how you can apply for tags and become a new addition to the alliance FC team!
