I haven't been FCing for more than 2 months already and thought it would be a good idea to go out this Tuesday. We started with 9 people out of Ostingele and got a few +1's and -1's along the way. We did not have the critical mass for some potential engagements along the way and didn't find any targets of opportunity just until the end.
FC Fleet Evaluation
Spoiler
- ✔ Hideo brought his Interceptor and took over as scout
✘ Hideo can improve his way of relaying intel by following the scheme: Who, where, what (local, grid, scan)
- ✔ we had some adorable new players with us who were doing great by following commands during their first fleet
✘ discipline to hold on gates was lacking which spooked away some of our targets
- ✔ Hideo did great with the scouting, averoth took over hunter duty and was ready to jump and help out Hideo
✔ there were several questions in fleet chat that were answered by fleet members, thank you guys!
✘ I wish to gradually increase communication through voice communications rather than chat in future
PS: For some of us it was the first time to fly with each other. Once we get more accustomed to each other, we'll come together just fine.

This is a curiosity of a kill. Qi Ria Yutton got on the kill while trying to catch up to us. I appears to have been ABA Gnosis vs RDRAW Hecate and Gate Guns.

Gnosis +70.04m
This is another curiosity of a kill. We never had a Deacon in our fleet, but it appears to be Zarquu joining fleet from Tama and being caught by a Vigilant. Nasty!
(19:12:40) Tama
Deacon -96.99m
The next two losses are just unbelievable. We had a innocent Talwar at a small, Hideo went for it and called point. As we warped fleet in it appears that a Hel undocked. I called fleet to slide, because the fighters were already on grid. Our initial tackle, Hideo was cought. It appears Union who just joined up at that moment also got caught on the acceleration gate.
(19:12:40) Hikkoken
Stiletto -40.83m
Federation Navy Comet -40.35m
It was about time to get some first kills. I caught a Coercer and a Slicer and we burned them down. The fast web-scram Comet is really surprising to many of the locals. The Slicer did try to pull range, but didn't make it vs my overheated MWD.
(19:20:33) Hirri, Nisuwa
Coercer +11.26m
Capsule +0.01m
Imperial Navy Slicer +30.62m
We did pick up speed and I caught the Coercer. We burned him down, but I had to use a lot of heat. Just as I caught the incoming Wolf, he was damn fast, I overheated some more on my MWD. I finally webbed him, and just as I was about to web him, my web burned out, than I activated my scram and it was enough. My SAAR couldn't take more heat and had to reload. Unfortunately, I didn't make it, as the Wolf went down. Semi-good trade.

Coercer +16.51m
Federation Navy Comet -38.19m
Wolf +51.3m
Capsule +6.36m
Next, I went to reship into Heydieles as my capsule got smartbombed into Heydieles. Pretty funny. We were patient to see if he's coming back, but he didn't.
(19:33:03) Abune
Capsule - Genolution 'Auroral' 197-variant -0.01m
We went to Sujarento and had to jump around the complexes to finally catch this unprepared Punisher.
(19:54:39) Sujarento
Punisher +7.25m
Capsule +0.01m
In Tama I spotted quite a lot of action on dscan. I saw a Phantasm at large with a group of frigs and destroyers. A rather unusal picture I did assume that the Phantasm was fighting a gang. I warped in, with the thought to third party, they were together though. I have already called in our gang though. Before gang lands, I die to the massive DPS, we primary the Daredevil, kill it and I call scatter. Trillian is going down and unfortunately, Zarquu gets caught in his Caracal as well.
(19:54:39) Tama
Republic Fleet Firetail -49.86m
Daredevil +121.04m
Federation Navy Comet -37.05m
Caracal -34.26m
We decide to call it and burn back to home. I call out a smart bombing Rookh gate camp. B'aldrick is having trouble with the route and get's caught by a Cynabal which appears to be with the Rookhs.
(19:54:39) Kedama
Federation Navy Comet -34.8m
Capsule - Genolution 'Auroral' 197-variant -20.92m
