We had a pretty decent going away fleet for a humble now-ex-unista. We terrorized Syndicate, I got to try out titan bridging for the first time and I hit 50% dangerous on ZKillboard. Not too shabby!

We roamed up to Syndicate proper and caught a Hyperion who had been camping Reblier. We missed the boosh on the battleship but got a boosh on the pod, go figure. Don't take your implants out of low sec kiddos!

We decided to see if the Cavepeople could bait a fight out of 404 or the other residents of southern Syndicate. This turned into an extended waiting game for most of the fleet. The opfor had a Rorqual out briefly but I knew from Breeze's AAR that such things are not good targets for BCs and they docked it up anyway. Meanwhile, our CAVE buddies said they had a friend with a titan in [REDACTED] who could bridge us into the southern syndicate pocket. I took most of the fleet down to [REDACTED] where we kept at range on 1,000m on the titan and waited. For a while. Crow and the Cavepeople had tantalizing glimpses of opfor but alas, they never undocked anything worth catching.
Meanwhile, we moved a cyno up to [REDACTED] in eastern syndicate. After some trouble with a gate camp, the cyno got into position. There was various activity near FD- so I decided to move the fleet up there and get in on the action. Unfortunately, our CAVE buddy bait wing lost a pair boats to opfor on the way up );

I had some intel that CAS was going to undock a fleet from their staging in RF-GGF. As you may recall, I lost 8.4BN to them in an honorable welp for Devinnis Pollard's viking funeral. The fleet they were undocking was mostly small stuff - T1 cruisers with littler boats thrown in. We caught quite a few of them in bubbles and got some kills as they initially fought back but then thought better and scattered.

We caught a pair of kitey T2 frigates elsewhere in the area. Really excellent tackling here - these ships are fast and hard to catch!

A guy we already killed once made the mistake of undocking again without verifying that we had left the pocket...

We had been out in space for almost 3 hours so we headed back toward eastern Syndicate. We found an INIT gate camp on the way back. They scattered but I called a Gila and we caught it, plus a Caracal for bonus.

We had intel on a Sons of Bane fleet near MHC. We found them, but they mostly managed to evade us. We still picked up a Stiletto (again, great tackling by Z0x) and a Caracal.

We went for one last check on 6-C/Reblier and found a Myrmidon on the Reb side. He jumped through and we blapped him. However, I had communicated poorly with Z0x, who was in PVH looking for a VNI. He caught the VNI three gates deep in a combat site but we were in 6-C with weapons timers. What followed was a series of tackle handoffs as tackle pilots were able to get into systems and pick up tackle while others warped off to repair. We finally got the kill and Z0x was able to save his boat in structure - great work Z0x, as always (;

Thoughts on the fleet:
- -You can wreck just about anything you can find in Syndicate with Feroxes. Nobody seemed interested in undocking caps and everything subcap was unable to withstand our wrath. Our only losses were from when we left our caracal bait buddies hanging with no support from the rest of the fleet.
-Titan bridging is cool! I am glad I got to try that out.
-We saw some truly excellent tackling on this fleet. Z0x got shout outs already for his interceptor flying, and all of my interdictor pilots did an excellent job of throwing bubbles to keep targets from getting away. FC loves good tackle! Fleet loves them sweet killmails!
-Flying with CAVE was a good time (;
-I had fun!
Peace out,
Yuri
