T1 Armor Brawling Frigates @ 20:00 on 21/10/17

Fleet Forum Post

21 frigates go for a jolly in Black Rise. Only 5 come back. The story of a green FC with some even greener fleetmates. With epic(ish?) fights, fleeing from Cruiser fleets and moments that will leave you wondering, "what the hell were they thinking?": T1 Armor Brawling Frigates.

Kills and Losses

Nice little Caracal pop to start things off, belt ratting in Agoze. Logi worked HARD to save the tacklers and did a great job. Having a logi in vanguard paid dividends here for sure and something I will be running as standard in T1 frigate fleets from now onwards.
(20:22:36Z) Agoze
Caracal +31.98m

After encountering a T3C fleet in Aldranette we changed course and headed into Black Rise through a less conventional route. Found an afk breacher doing a FW plex and gave him what was coming his way.
(20:59:50Z) Aivonen
Breacher +1.48m

Unsure about whether it was a bait, we slid a medium plex and (FC thinking: please not recon trap, please not recon trap) found a solo Gila, ECM soon shut him down and he died as he lived: alone and afraid. This was the first KM for one of our newbros (just joined E-Uni/Eve Online) - what a way to kick things off!
(21:07:22Z) Akidagi
Gila +263.72m

After a Bio in Akidagi we headed into the heart of the swarm: Nennamaila. Things got messy (as often they do there) and FC made a bad call leading to delay in getting the fleet to a fight with Rocket+Blaster Thrasher, causing 3 deaths and no kills including a Taranis.
(21:21:36Z) Nennamaila
Condor -3.74m
Atron -3.58m
Taranis -46.7m

Scout got bored of flustered FC after doing a Benny Hill with a small gang of assault frigates , and well, tristans gotta die.
(21:42:17Z) Hallanen
Tristan +11.12m

The clusterbucket of a pissbag fight: a 4 way outside a plex (And not the good kind). After starting to wrap up the fleet a Loki was spotted outside a small plex fighting a catalyst. After a warp arounds fleet landed on grid with it but the loki immedietly warped. After bouncing off to an IHUB and planning to head home a Harbinger and Prophecy were spotted at the small plex. Shortly after fleet warping in and getting tackle on the Harbinger, other ships landed on grid: A cruiser gang, a few more BCs and another frigate blob. Commting to the fight the FC called to primary the Harbinger (Cruisers were out of range at this point) in the hope that the frigate blob would fight the common enemy in the larger ships. ECM was the first to go down and in the chaos that ensued 3/4 of the fleet welped too. We traded a bunch of frigates for cruisers (BCs were just too tanky) and made a fair few kills. FC and 4 others managed to make it out after the frigate blob left the grid and as most of the fleet was in pods we called it a day and escorted (or pod expressed) back to Hisec.

Sounds like our logi squad did an admirable job in that last fight

Honestly couldn't have asked more of them, considering the chaos and that we stayed on grid for several minutes and some of us even made it out intact!

Jamming things is fun, also my first fleet with Eve University, so thank-you for that :)

It was a tough fight. There's quite a bit that went good and bad there:

+ We sig/speed tanked like bosses. I did call that once on main comms to shut down prop mods but I'm unsure if the main fleet got it.
+ We kept eachother alive for a really long time.
+ We called the fight off as soon as 1 logi went down.
+ Great logi comms quality, mad props to Zana for covering up whenever I miss something.
- I was unable to track the position of the fleet properly.
- I was unable to track my position properly while keeping transversal up, and decided to go all out on staying alive - probably got us pretty deep in falloff killing most of our repping power.
- I overrepped with about 50% of my repping power throughout the fight.
- It only really became obvious to me that we are only buying time and not holding people up when we ourselves got primaried. Quite late in the fight.

Just went over through the stats and it really feels like we didn't belong on that grid. Most of the kills we got there are misleading. All of them got 70-90% of the damage caused by third parties.

I'm a bit sad I didn't record the fight. There's quite a bit to look at and see what we could have done better to pick off people while on grid, despite the fact that brawly doctrines like our own aren't great at third partying and harassing fights.

Well, it was the end of the fleet (a bit over the 2 hour mark) and everyone seemed like they enjoyed a big fight at the end. Right decision tactically or not, it was great content for everyone and I know what I'd rather do if I had the choice :)
