The main fleet followed and after some games on the gate, we avenged Decklin's loss. Moving to Kinakka, on our outgate a Punisher jumped into us that we were able to successfully alpha clean off the grid. To be fair, I'm thinking he was just a newbro who got caught out. Either way, it was good practice for me at least to see how we could use that tactic to catch other frigates on gates.

Making our way through Akidagi, we'd caught the attention of a T2 Frigate/T3D gang. We'd danced around the system a little to try and get them off our tails, resulting in them becoming a little spread out due to their different align and warp speeds. We jumped into Nennamaila with elements of them following. Here I wanted to burn 150km away from the gate to avoid gate guns and to see if we could string some of them out. This was working with their light tackle now far in front. Once we'd crossed the 150km mark, I called the closest of their Interceptor Pilots as primary. What I wasn't expecting was for 25% of our own fleet to then turn around and burn back into the danger zone. With the tactical advantage now lost, I called it quits and we moved on.
In Hikkoken we ganked a Comet and an Incursus in a plex. Scouts reported that the T2 gang were fighting a Sleipnir on a gate so we headed over to whore. We needed to use a ping to get close and by the time we moved in, he popped. Decklin managed to get on the kill, however it's a shame more of us couldn't. We quickly made our escape once the Sleipnir went down and warped back to the previous plex we were in, as a Tristan and a Breacher seemed to be having some fun there. We nabbed the Breacher but the Tristan got away

In and around Reitsato, a flashy Vexor and friends warped into us who we took down. Just after, a neutral Malediction landed that JoJosh got overexcited about and engaged resulting in him feeling the wrath of gate guns. Officially an E-Uni fleet now. Decklin was being our -1 scout at this point, keeping an eye to the rear for those T2 gangs. He'd picked up on 2 Jackdaws and an Osprey that appeared to be camping the Okkamon gate. the main fleet had been looking into Tama at this point and with word that a T2 gang had also found those Jackdaws, we were about to head over to try and whore again but we didn't make it in time. The Jackdaws bounced and the Osprey was popped, although with Decklin getting himself on another killmail for us.

Scouts then reported that the T2 gang was fighting Snuff in Rakapas at a large. The call was made to YOLO into this to again third party and whore. Various random pilots in the fight decided to pick off some of us off from time to time, and it didn't appear like anything was going down on the field as the Super seemed to target the largest threat, our Kestrel fleet. We bailed without any kills or whoring (Megoste, while joining this fleet purely for this fight, looked to be doing his own thing on grid).

Scouts had eyes on a small gang of Hurricane Fleet Issues heading into Black Rise which, surprise surprise, managed to find a fight with another T2/T3D gang (this time our good friends HCOOK). We went for the whore, with only one of us managed to get on the kill. There was a second HFI with friends that we went for, with HCOOK now warping off grid. He had some help from an Arty Loki and a Damp fit Scythe (which caught us out). The Loki was able to one shot our frigates from time to time, with me going down straight away. Breeze took over and was popped not soon after, with fleet command falling in Decklin's lap. He did a great job directing the fight. The guys got the HFI into structure however we'd just lost too many Kestrels by this point and couldn't secure the kill.

With heavy losses, we headed to Ichoriya to reship. While this was going on, we had some random fun on gates, citadels and even Glen in highsec resulting in some fun kills and losses.

Making our way back home now, scouts found a Corax in a small. We went for the gank but it cost us more in return. As we left Pavanakka, two Brutix landed on our in gate. The fleet burned back and jumped after them with Glen securing tackle on "the flashy one". Some slight confusion once the rest of the fleet got on grid as by this point both Brutix were now flashy but we bagged one with the second slipping away.

After this, a number of fleet members dropped because it was becoming quite late so the fleet just face tanked the gates and made best speed back to Stacmon/Uph.

The Good
As FC, I got to practice a lot of separate tactics throughout this fleet such as attempting to string a fleet out, manual piloting as anchor on a busy grid, and attempting to use the Kestrels alpha strike.
Fleet members were hungry for fun and although we lost of a lot of cheap ships, everyone was keen to reship which keep the fleet going
Fleets discipline was on point, as usual
FC comms didn't die
The Bad
FC potentially too slow to get in a tactical position to whore on most of the juicy kills
25% of fleet decided to burn back into an enemy fleet when attempting to kite away. Potentially miscommunication or poor communication by FC.
Probably some other stuff, it's been a busy week at work and my brain is fried writing this. Please comment with your own thoughts and opinions on the fleet.
Thanks to everyone who came out to play.
For those taking part in the CCI, this fleet will count as a LSC participation event: https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/CCI
For those who lost a ship, don't forget that you can claim a hull back through the Uni SRP: https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/SRP#Uni_ ... sements.29
