JH- was clear, I called people to warp to JH- and while we landed... we encountered a Vexor. We engaged, they got more stuff from JH-, bubbled the gate. We tried to kill staff on the gate and called for reinforcements: and got Tornado, Caracal, and Crucifier. We killed a Vexor, but lost a Rupture and 2 Cormorants:

After that, we regrouped and tried to take a fight near the station. They tried to bush us of the station, once it was successful, once not, another time again it did work. We focused Magus first, but it disengaged being in structure.

For the 3rd time, we called a shield cruisers, logies, and did catch a Sabre, but either logies were not in optimal, or DPS was to high so we still lost a few ships, but killed a Sabre.

Those guys lost quite a bit of DPS and disengaged with what they had left.
Totally killed: +220.6M
Totally lost: -267.9M
Not bad, we probably could improve. But I personally don't have much experience in this sort of fights (learning
), and nobody else took command to organize things.And 5 minutes later, Gazzz came in a Tengu, reshipped into a Thorax, Dropped a cyno at undock... and let himself to be killed:

A bit later together I went with Kirsid out of the pocket and while we were looking for content a small gang came into PC9. First, they killed somebody from NSC in a Vexor (booshed from undock).
I have noticed a solo pilot and warped to the belt: it was Malediction quickly followed by others jumping in, Kirsid tried to help me as well.
I tackled Hecate and got him into hull. Not sure whom Kirsid primaried, but we both went down. I lost some DPS trying to shoot Malediction and did not decycle guns on time, so could not kill Hecate

Lessons learned:
1. Don't focus CD while there are many less tankier (or better to apply dps at) targets. We should start primaring Vexor and Caracal
2. Don't kill pods fighting in enemies home system: pod will need to escape from buble and bounce - which will take time so they don't reship quickly.
3. Be careful sitting near the station with CD: it can boosh you off along.
4. Make sure to decycle guns and cycle them ONLY once focused on a proper target.
Things went well:
1. Lots of fun and content, quite a few active players, including newbros who were actively fighting and replacing loses
2. Decent ships on contract - many thanks to whoever was shipping them!
Could be better:
1. More activities from NSC pilots accepting ping
2. More ships (count and variety) on contract - guys, bring useful things and you can make some ISKs on that.
