It was an ok turnaround, 27 pilots in total, primarily Comets, of them 3 T2 and 2 T1 logies, quite a few T3D, CD.

In Renarelle, Jonn spotted a gang of T3Ds, he went for the solo and made let us make a couple of good kills.

Here is interesting learning point: instead of traditional call "point" Jonn mentioned something like "I got them" and I wasted valuable seconds to confirm that. We spoke after fleet so hopefully next time it will be better.
While Jonn was switching ship Cetan found a gang of destroyers (I believe Punishers) on one of plexes. Unfortunately, while fleet landed those punishers left and we only had few Flycathers and a Garmur on the grid.
I underestimated danger from Flycatchers, could not assume they can do so high DPS at more than 30-40 kms. I assumed we will have higher speed, and ability to tank, but in fact they killed many of us 1-by-1.
I do remember I caught reps, and hence did not worry much, but it looks like I was far from logy and was killed relatively quickly.
After I was killed Jonn took command, and after taking heavy losses he called to align out and scatter in few seconds later.

Learning points:
1. Should have quickly learned they are kity and keep fleet together, not to spread out, and retreat quickly.
2. I guess we should not engage at all. From the dotlan we knew that system was quite active and even we had more than 20 DD and 5 logies, we still should have expected heavy loses.
From zkillboard I assume this Flycatchers' fit:

Some of us reshiped and while I was catching up with fleet, hunters spotted a small faction cruisers gang (Orthrus, Gila, Phantasm, Keres). We engaged, Jonn managed to boosh Vaga which we killed after bouncing:
(04:16:57) Oicx, Aldranette
Atron +2.6m
Navitas -4.13m
Vagabond +297.23m

Honestly, don't remember how did these kills happened:

Keres +232.21m
Thrasher +22.07m
After this engagement we had few pilots reshipping in Ichoriya and spotted a gang of Thrashers+Magus+1-2 BC. Having lack of scouts I went ahead to get intel on them and did not understand what was happening when our logies where attacked by 2 Confessors. It looks like they were caught seconds before warp. Trying to catch the Magus I was getting intel that somebody tackled, message was not clear regarding system/get when that happened. When we got clarity that was too late:
Thalia -66.02m
Thalia -53.98m
Further we went towards Tama, and got a few small kills here and there:

On the way back in Ouleta we encountered Hecate sitting on the gate at 0. myself and Gemma triggered agression from guns, bounced, and waited for Hecate to engage. We could not kill him before he got reinforcements: Nightmare and Taranis.

I can admit, it was not the best execution, but we had lots of fun, got a few nice kills and overall feedback I received via Spectre Fleet web site is overall positive. Please do share your feedback guys either here in the topic or via the Spectre Fleet feedback form: https://spectrefleet.com/feedback
Summary.
1. I need to learn how to communicated with new scouts: that helps both with situational awareness and decision making.
2. I need to disengage earlier facing kitying gangs
3. I need to be more risk averse I guess.
To validate the 3rd point, I would like to ask you guys just 2 questions, please fill in this form: https://goo.gl/forms/K0fb52JKQEoflIPw1
P.S. As was promised, all T2 logies get extended SRP (25M ISK) from FC.
