This fleet got off to a rough start as I forgot to make sure there were actually ships up on contract, meaning it took a little bit to get that sorted. We left to make our way to PC9-AY to pick up someone, but our logi got ahead and ran into a juicy looking Armageddon on a gate. Thinking we could probably take it, I called to engage. I was not paying close attention to range though, and somehow I let him get within neut and scram range of me. If I had been better at keeping range, we probably would have gotten him as he was a good bit of the way through his armor tank when I went down. We lost one other Caracal the same way, unfortunately.

We reshipped into Atrons because we did not have anymore Caracals, and headed out again to go to low sec and see what we might be able to catch.
We found an Ares scouting for a gatecamp that was just set up in 97X-CH, and being cut off from our original destination, I decided to see if we could gank it before the gate camp responded. We couldn't.

Range control still eludes me. I know theoretically how to fly kitey doctrines, but in the heat of the moment, there is a lot to lose track of.

The Fleet Feedback (at least for me) isn't showing up for that date and time. "Solitude BLAP Caracals (1900 Feb. 10) I don't mind giving you feedback here if you don't mind hearing it here.

It was unfortunate that I couldn't get to the fleet in Boystin from PC9-AY due to a gate camp that lasted a while blocking a pipe lined system
I flew around the system and found a cyno alt sitting 150km away from a citadel on grid. I warped to it, and managed to get a kill (https://zkillboard.com/kill/67946907/), and avoid the capitals that jumped into the system. Eventually I lost my Caracal to a Ferox on a station when I accidentally returned fire and engaged the 1 minute weapons timer - which was barely enough time for the Ferox to break my shields; that was truly an embarrassing lossmail (https://zkillboard.com/kill/67947631/). Anyways, I will make sure to arrive at the staging system earlier in order to make it to the fleet, and have fun shooting my missiles at some ships!
