OBSERVATIONS
HUGE fleet for a Monday night! Great to see everyone coming out to get some kills and have a great time. Things were very quiet through the pipe in Placid, but Black Rise never fails to provide content. We had a run-in with a small cruiser gang in Vli/Oic/Eha, and they turned out to be more of a problem than they were worth. Nothing substantial showed itself until we got to Nenn, where we found a [CALSF] Raven (flashy) and a Drake on the gate into Aki. the Raven initiated the fight, taking gate guns. He brought friends, but we were going to get that Raven. And we did, which basically made up for the losses. LOVE frigate gangs - the drone blob was beautiful! Once the Raven's shield tank went we went to switch to a Cormorant or Vexor that had joined in, but they warped/pulled range as the Raven was going down. We took our cue and left the gate, making the assumption that they were reshipping/calling in reinforcements. A slicer kept dogging us, trying to play gate games, and a few members of the fleet managed to catch him, which I didn't think was possible. Time to go!

In Pyn we found some content in a plex, with a Griffin/Algos/Atron capturing the plex (I'm assuming), and netted ourselves the Atron and Algos.

Found a Garmur in a small fighting two Merlins in Rei. The Merlins warped off leaving the Garmur kill all to us.

We were getting stupid at this point, fleet going on 2.5 hrs, and someone (saanguinee?) noticed a Venture, which he promptly went and ganked.

Pyn and Hik on the return trip proved fruitful as well, getting us a Hookbill and an Algos. The rest of the return trip was uneventful, and we ended in Stacmon at around the 3 hour mark.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND SUMMARY
Great fleet, had a great time. We had some issues with pilots not paying attention to FC commands. It was frustrating to be sure, but that's all on me to make sure I maintain tighter control of comms. Richard gave me some great pointers after the fleet and I am going to try to put them into action. I thought my decision making was good, especially with the CALSF fight in Nenn. And a fair bit of that came from knowing ship capabilities and that with 36 pilots we could easily take that fight with the Raven and win. In hindsight, I should have split the fleet in half and had 20 ppl on the Raven and the other 10 on the Vexor when it landed. How to split people up on the spur of the moment would have been almost impossible, so maybe in pre-flight I need to consider arranging people in even squads so I can call squad numbers to target A, target B, etc. Something to think about. Interesting that this comes up, since someone pre-roam asked what squad they should move into, and I said it doesn't matter. Maybe it does!
Review/Attainment of Actionable Goals:
- Pre-Roam Planning. - Check.
- Decision Making. - Check.
- Command Chatter. - Check minus. This needs a LOT of attention I think. Especially with a large fleet, I need to make sure I maintain control and keep everyone moving in the same direction.
- Keep LEARNING! - Check. This one just lives on this list - it's why we're doing the FCC, right?
- Pre-Roam Planning.
- Decision Making.
- Command Chatter.
