Undocked with six Catalysts, two Navitas, one Vigil, and one interceptor (gaheris). Intel tools showed our route to Aridia very quiet, so we went a-huntin'. Gaheris found and pointed a Cavemen Hawk in CON, so I jumped the fleet through, and we aggressed. Not surprisingly, the Hawk slipped our scrams, and even less surprisingly, whistled up a posse to push our faces in.
Hostile fleet comp included two VNI, a couple Confessors, and assorted fast tackle. Additionally, J4bb3rw0ck was in the area, and he is known to fly a Curse. Given this mismatch...we ran. There was no little-girl screaming involved. It is a battle-cry. Honest.
After chasing us through nine jumps into Aridia, our pursuers got bored, and this was where I wanted to be anyway, so we set out on our primary PvE mission of hunting Clone Soldiers, which was marginally successful.
Statistics:
Duration: 2.5 hours
Ships Lost (ISK): 0 (0)
Ships Killed (ISK): 0 (0)
Proceeds from Clone Soldiers: ~40million ( http://evepraisal.com/e/17854379 )
Remarks:
The Good:The fleet was under-staffed on logi for a PvP fleet, but our two logi operators, Christine and Hillbilly, were Johnny (and Janey)-on-the-Spot. The fleet kept movement discipline superbly; the only lemming was the FC. Comms discipline was perfect.
The Not-so-Good: The FC took a few jumps to get into the groove. By the time we got into the aborted Cavemen fight and subsequent pursuit, I had my legs under me, but I should have had my game face in place before undocking. Honestly, I expected to do worse on my first fleet as FC. That day is coming. Probably soon.
