I was surprise as to how we lost anyone here. I tried to be as clear as possible at the start of the fleet that if anyone was yellow boxed at all when we were fighting then they should just warp off. To be fair, it was very chaotic and people definitely need to be on the ball with what they are doing, where they are aligning to, etc. Overall a fair trade I thought and certainly for me it was a great opportunity to practice flying this doctrine in this way. Hopefully everyone else enjoyed the brief engagement too.

Once HCOOK had despiked the system, Xana appeared in a medium. Eddie wasted no time and we dived right in. We managed to take him down relatively quickly, certainly to my surprise after the HCOOK fight. As we struggled to take down the T1 frigates previously, I though he'd have been able to tank us a lot longer than he did. Thanks for taking the fight, Xana!

On her way to reship, bringdapain was caught out by a smart bombing Proteus.

As we continued to move through Black Rise, a Stiletto jumped into us and began to burn away. I called to align out and shoot. He quickled burned outside of our optimal so we warped off. As we did though, an Omen jumped the gate into us and managed to snag a tackle on one Corm. We quickly came back at range. The Stiletto was back in range too so once again we tried to target it... and once again he pulled range, so the fleet bailed and docked up for repairs.

Eddie continued to scout the system and found an assortment of things outside a medium. He'd warped at range but landed on top of another Stiletto. The fleet warped to Eddie but couldn't save him on time. Once again, the only thing on grid that we could take on was the Stiletto and, once again, it was able to burn far enough outside our optimal before we could take him down. A Coercer gang also warped into the fight, but at zero on the acceleration gate. We almost blapped one, but he just managed to escape in structure with the rest of his gang into the plex.

We had another quick pause in Aki while Eddie reshiped before heading up to the Martoh area. Straight forward gank on the way up there but we didn't manage to find anything else.

I think at this point we were all a little frustrated with how we just couldn't kill anything with the numbers we had so we headed home. Conscious that it was still a little early, we few of us reshipped and spent an extra half hour camping the Stacmon gate in Ost but even then we couldn't kill anything!

The Good
The one thing I really wanted to practice was the "Align out, Blap light tackle, Warp off, Repeat" manoeuvre. While we only had the opportunity to do it once, I think it worked quiet effectively even with the small numbers that we did had. I think the difference between killing this Crow and not killing the various Stilettos is that the Crow burned towards us, not away, giving us time to get the kill.
It looked like everyone was managing to keep up with my chaotic commands too, which is great. Hopefully it wasn't too traumatic of an experience for everyone!
The Bad
Straight up lack of numbers really hampered what we could actually take on with this fleet. I really wanted to find another fleet (Cruisers would have been great) to try and take on their light tackle again but unfortunately it wasn't to be.
For those taking part in the CCI, this fleet will count as a LSC participation event: https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/CCI
