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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
