It's never not a good day for Magic Merlins. I had checked the space weather report before undock and it was calling for gratuitous violence with intermittent explosions. So off to Faction Warfare space we headed to test our fortune and see if we couldn't relieve some pilots of the onerous responsibility of owning a spaceship.

Kills and Losses

Just about two minutes out of Stacmon and it was off to the belts. Our scout gets a Prospect in a belt and then a Venture in a belt in the course of five minutes.
(19:24:51) Ostingele, Vey
Prospect +27.83m
Venture +6.7m

We move along through space, noticing that there are a lot more people in space than would have been the case in the not so distant past. We head up through Placid to get to the Frontline systems. In Aubenall, our scout finds and secures a Caldari Navy Hookbill for our fighting pleasure.
(19:37:38) Aubenall
Caldari Navy Hookbill +13.75m

I do not recall what our scout was trying to tackle; I can only recall that it was gate guns that eviscerated his Slasher. Their sacrifice was appreciated. However, because FC has reships in Lowsec, our scout was able to reship rather quickly and get back into fighting.
(19:57:01) Indregulle
Slasher -10.32m

Our scout secures a Republic Fleet Firetail in a plex and our ravenous Merlin horde set upon them.
(20:12:04) Fliet
Republic Fleet Firetail +21m

Our scout heroically attempts to secure an FNC to sate our bloodthirst, but ends up getting killed and podded. Our 2IC picks up as scout. We start heading home.
(20:17:45) Deven
Slasher -1.83m
Capsule -3.01m

Our scout secures a Tristan in a plex and defangs the Tristan as the fleet catches up.
(20:26:34) Heydieles
Tristan +1.45m

ISK Destroyed: 70,713,894.52

Overall evaluation
(Positive stuff)
* Fun fleet. It just had a really nice vibe and everyone seemed to be in a Friday kind of mood.
* Smooth formup without issue. Perhaps the best so far.
* Scouting was really good and very few scout ship losses today.
* Logi was really, really on-the-ball. Top notch performance.
* We had a player on their first PvP fleet get their first PvP kill. This is always a cause for celebration for me.
(Negative stuff)
* I don't really have any negatives of note. This was a really good Merlin fleet and everyone did exactly what they were supposed to.

Great fleet as always. 7/10 dad jokes. 4/10 French pronunciation. 10/10 would recommend.

It was a distinct pleasure having you along with this merry band of thugs and pirates. I look forward to flying with you again soon.
