The first joint venture that I ran with Bombers Bar celebrating the fact I became a full FC in BB. It went well but I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me walk you through what happened. I log in to scan a chain for the fleet dreading the fact that C5 highway is going to haunt me again today as it is a regular problem we have to deal with, but when I undock I find 2 whs leading directly to highsec one 2 jumps from Jita. Looks like BOB is pleased today.
We start forming and we managed to get a 80+ fleet. Everyone heads inside the wh I give my speech how BB works and we start hunting. I position the fleet on the nullsec static. The first region doesn't bring us anything tons of close calls hunters landing on carrier and rorqs only to see them warp off unlucky but a regular occurrence to a hunter(sadly). We roll the wh and get on the new null.
The second wormhole gave us content almost instantly I sent out the hunter and started hunting myself as well (hunting and Fcing at the same time not easy) I paired up with Pippin dictors and tengu like to pair up gives us the option to catch supers or fleets and we still have a cyno. We take 2 gates and sport a Chimera Pipin bubbles it I scram it jump the fleet out everyone gets on the blops and we murder the Chimi.

We head back to the wh and roll again.
Mar5hy and Gatt2111 catches a rorqual in minutes jumping out from the next wormhole we make short work of it with constant focused void bomb pressure.

No loses so far I was amazed.
We roll the hole again and we roll into to Querius. Goons are notoriously hard to drop on as they always drop a super or titan fleet to save their ships however that doesn't stop us from trying and killing them from time to time. I sent out the hunters and instantly hit rorquals 2 in 2 separate systems rorqs tackled. This was the plan we cyno in on the first one I tell everyone before hand to expect a response and align out sure enough supers and faxes are cynod in. This was all planned however we wanted them to do this and rack up there jump timer and we took a couple of gates to the second system to try to finish off the rorqual sadly we lost the hunter tackling the first rorq.

The second location we start killing off the smaller mining ships to get rid of their drones:

We start working on the rorqual and than a cyno is lit and this is what comes through.
Lots of titans we were placed far away from them because we expected this to happen but we get unlucky and titans get bumped off each other and they drift in range of some of the bombers and they blast them with faction smart bombs we call scatter and leave system and roll again.

We roll a couple of regions hunt a bit and don't find much than we jump out and find a really shiny rorqual. Mar5hy tackles it we light the cyno. The moment the fleet lands the Rorq lights its Panic module(Pulse Activated Nexus Invulnerability Core ) to save his mining ships and wait for rescue. We wait until the timer runs out since everything is invaluable well almost everything.

A vigil warp in trying to get a fast bomber kill but gets swiftly dealt with. The rorqual realizes his predicament and drops a mobile depot to try to save his excavators and shiny mods but we nuke it before it has a chance to online.

At this point the Panic timer runs out I had all the sub caps pointed by separate fleet member so nothing can escape our wrath.

Finally to rorqs was on the list Mar5hy dropped his nyx on it as well just as it was about to die to steal the kill
After this we called a fleet and everyone headed back home. Even though we lost some people with the Goon fight I would still go for since its once of the more challenging fights and satisfying when we pull it off. Overall the fleet worked pretty well. There are probably things I can improve hunting and fcing at the same time is still decently something that makes everything more of hassle.
I hope people enjoyed this fleet and hope to see you on the next one.
