We started with 5 logies, I believe 3 T2 and 2 T1, 1 CD, 1 dictor, 2 ceptors, the rest DD (primarily harpies). In total, 30 pilots.

My assumption was that same as against Kora's fleet (https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtop ... 6&t=108524) they would be AC fit and we will have an easy and safe job dealing with them.
I believe they intentionally warped to the gate at 20, we were at 0. I guess ideal for a Rail Harpy to engage Thrashers. But they were arty fit and we lost 2 ships, but still made a quick job killing them. Unfortunately, trade was not great as Harpies and logies cost 10 times more. If I knew they are arty fit I would not engage.

Thrasher +6.08m
Kirin -56.99m
Thrasher +2.91m
Harpy -56m
Thrasher +4.2m
Thrasher +2.91m
Thrasher +4.32m
While we reshipped fleet get a copuple another kill:
Imperial Navy Slicer +39.98m
Capsule +0.01m
Later same folks rehipped into RR Prophecies and gave us another fight. TBH, we should not have taken any losses, but we did.
It was a long fight, I did not realize immediately they are RR, was more concerned about staying at range, but somebody called we need to split them.
They stayed quite close to each other but we were able to split them a bit. Unfortunately, we also split the fleet. Yet, 1 Prophecy stayed along, it was killed first, later we got fleet together and finished the rest:
Harpy -55.99m
Prophecy +80.26m
Prophecy +101.65m
Bantam -8.91m
Ishkur -51.55m
Worm -97.88m
Prophecy +79.88m
Prophecy +80.58m
Prophecy +115.94m
GF!
Enough warm up in low, I did want to go to nul and see if there is any content in Providence. I can't say it was really my mistake, but probably I should not ask fleet to make a free-burn into KBP7. As part of that, somehow, I don't have much detail, quite a few people stuck on the gate and were killed.
I assume they were caught AFTER jump and did not crash gate to run away.
I should be more careful moving fleet in the active area, and people should learn basic safety.
Bantam -10.95m
Stork -120.75m
Kirin -57.08m
Capsule -0.01m
SAD.
In KBP7 we had a Broadsword bubling the gate. Firstly, we safely escaped the bubble, and were planning to boosh it from the gate and kill, but he cynoed 3 Rorquals. We tried to get few guys from the Dital, but this did not happen. Dunno why.

Ishkur -53.78m
Harpy -56.74m
@Wokum: would you mind sharing more information about that? If you were caught after the jump, were you able to crash the gate back?
Later, quite a few people jumped through solo appeared to be out of the bubble and successfully joined the fleet later.
Providence looked really empty: no carebears. We found a system with 90 players in local, but we run through it quickly and they ignored us.
We went for roaming and had quite a few good fights.
First, we decloaked Viator who jumped into us:
(04:22:00) UL-7I8
Viator +261.72m
Capsule +86.81m
Later we spotted a small gang, which I was hesitant to engage, but took a risk. Appeared to be a good fight and loot which allows now to SRP support ship loses.

Flycatcher -106.11m
Phantasm +445.05m
Daredevil +109.19m
Algos +11.6m
Capsule +27.54m
Stabber +39.9m
Bhaalgorn +1027.57m
Capsule +0.92m
Harpy -66.8m
Almost immediately, we've found a RS, but it cynoed quite a bit of ships and not all could disengage on time:
Bantam -10.54m
Harpy -62.82m
Capsule -0.01m
Few minutes laster we caught a transport ship with cargo on a gate:
Kryos +78.1m
And lmost immediately, we've met another big gang of BS suported by ceptors and dictors. As it was quite late, instead of going through the gate I decided to return back home
In Dital we found Bhaalgorn sitting on a gate, dakkari bought the kill-right:
(05:22:33) Dital
Bhaalgorn +307.11m
empyriosis forgot we are in HS and aggressed something:
Harpy -67.27m
Capsule +0.01m
Fleet summary:
ISK Destroyed: 2,914,222,892.09
ISK Lost: 940,197,132.08
ISK Delta: 1,974,025,760.01
Efficiency: 75.607%
Lessons learned:
1. Don't assume opponents fit - watch the ship when you have time, especially if ships price difference is huge.
2. Be careful moving a flashy fleet through the HS.
Even Providence has not carebears, there are still quite a few roaming gangs and you can get a GF from that.
P.S. As fleet was profitable, I will provide double size of my traditional SRP for all support ships loses:
50M for T2 logies
100M for dictors and CD
Also, will reimburse T1 logies.
Many thanks to all!
