[NPSI] Shield Frigates+Dessies /w Spectre Fleet

[Budda Sereda]

Was interesting and fun fleet, we undocked around 45 pilots, in range from t1 frigate till t3 dessie, with 4-5 logies, 3 scouts, some ewar.

Fleet started slow. First, we went into Syndicate and killed Caracal, further Towards Pure Blind and killed Raven and few small dessies in Placid.

Caracal +40.88m

Algos +20.9m

More interesting actions started happening in null, we picked up quite a few juicy things, starting from VNI, Apocalypse, ONI, Cynabal, Onyx.

Onyx +402.57m

At some point, we met a Jackdaw gang with Kirins. They had 12 DD and I believe 3 logies, and I decided to go on them. But they were a bit quicker than us, had longer range and sniped quite a few of us (including myself) until Mor (2FC)

(04:49:27) RORZ-H
Griffin -10.09m
Merlin -9.34m
Harpy -62.9m
Scythe -29.28m
Harpy -50.2m
Algos -15.3m
Cormorant -12.85m
Kirin +59.18m
Jackdaw -70.82m
At this point I was primaried and killed so I called Mor to continue, I guess it was a difficult call as he was in Stiletto (Why did not I think that 2IC should be in DD earlier)? At some point, somebody started calling targets, and eventually called to scatter.

Later Glen took control on engagement make few more kills, get another fight, at some point realized we are not breaking them and called to scatter again:

Catalyst -9.85m

Unfortunately, I don't have many details on last portion, but I'm sure that was fun for many pilots.

ISK Destroyed: 2,877,721,922.97
ISK Lost: 999,833,963.06
ISK Delta: 1,877,887,959.91
Efficiency: 74.215%

What was good.

1. I'm proud to report a new thing I prepared and did: have a separate tab with opponent logy and tackle ships. Even though, this did not make us win the fight, this did help me to focus on logies first and indeed kill at least 1, even though they were kity and quick

2. I got quite a bit of positive feedback, and in particular: good feedback about scouts. Out of 3 scouts, 2 were from E-Uni - Z0X and Gemma.Thanks guys, good job!

3. Content. Amount of engagement in Pure Blind was quite high, I guess if I go through the Syndicate ever again, I will do just "quick run through".

4. Swift Isu scanned a WH while we were roaming, and that helped us to jump back to HS once fleet was down. Thanks Swift!

What could be better.

1. I'll need to start going to null through WH so we can start getting content earlier.

2. Need to ensure 2IC flies DD

3. Call logies to prelock myself so I have more chances to survivce and lead fleet. Not that I want to survive, but I feel like FC must leave longer. Today Glen, Mor, and Elon helped with this, but another time fleet could be not so lucky.

4. Doctrine itself. I've chosen shield frigs and dessies assuming they will have high speed without thinking too much about details. It worked well for ganking, but not as good for fighting kiting opposing fleet. Engaging those Jacdaws we should not accept running for them, but instead try to overplay positioning game.

Could I do better something else? Please do let me know if so. Thanks!
