We had a couple of newbros in the the fleet this time too which I love and after finishing the newbro speech we undocked and started the roam. We had 4 pilots who were new with one opting in as logi pilot. It was great. We didn't find anything till we got to Vli where the scout found a comet and tackled it. Unfortunately by the time the fleet landed the comet killed our scout and warped off. While the scout re-shipped we continued on our roam.

In Oicx, we found two other large fleets. One with Gilas and the other jackdaws. Since we couldn't take them on I warped the fleet to a safe and then a ping at gate but unfortunately one of our newbros didn't warp out quickly and was caught.

In Kinakka things got a little interesting. The scout reported a coercer in a plex and I asked the vanguard to jump in and slide. There was a bit of confusion while sliding the gate and the vanguard didn't land together. The Coercer of DeBug killed two and warped out while the fleet landed. By the time the fleet got into the plex, some surviving vanguard had already followed DeBug to a structure where he couldn't dock cause of weapons timer and engaged him again. I had the fleet warp to the structure but by now the fleet had lost it cohesion and landed separately. As you can imagine we lost 5 pilots taking down one coercer. I need to work more on keeping the fleet together including the vanguard more efficiently. Slower is still better than losing ships in such scenarios.

In Akidagi we really got an interesting fight. The scout spotted a succubus and something else and i asked him to find and tackle the succubus with vanguard support. This time around the fleet did admirably and while the Succubus managed to pull range on us initially, Baldrick in his hyena managed to get webs on him while the vanguard kept tackle. And then it was a quick finish for the succubus with us losing only one vanguard pilot. It was brilliant and I am proud of how the fleet got this kill.

By now we had been on roam for a while and we took a break and some of the pilots including one logi had to leave. Luckily we had Zarquu re-ship into a burst and we continued with about 13 of us. While making out way back to Stacmon, we encountered two other frigate fleets. One was a Merlin fleet and the other Atrons with 5 Bantam. We decided that we would get eaten alive if we engaged either fleet with our numbers and waited to see if they engage each other and we could third party. Unfortunately the Jackdaw/Gila fleet(not sure which) came back around and i decided to move on.
Oh i forgot to mention. I had a couple of major disconnects during this fleet but the chain of command held extremely well and the importance of having 2IC and 3IC cannot be emphasised enough.
While I was reconnecting, the scouts found an interesting comp in Iges and the fleet moved there. I managed to reconnect and catch up with the fleet as they were beginning the attack on a Caracal Navy issue with Vexor support who had warped off. We managed to get tackle easily enough on the Caracal but for some reason we weren't able to apply dps effectively. It may have been a combination of not having any webs on it and not enough ewar support (we only had one maulus left with us by now). We lost a couple of ships and when the vexor landed I decided to call scatter and we disengaged the fight and warped off. I called an end to the fleet after this we disbanded.

Overall this was one of the times were it felt like I as an FC was being taught a number of valuable lessons. I would like to think that I am getting better at commanding fleet and that everyone is having fun. I would love to hear what everyone think and would appreciate any and all feedbacks.
