In our first system, one of my first-time scouts that I convinced to scout found an Incursus. Coaxter and the scout took him out since I forgot to tell them to hold their DPS till the fleet came. By the time we were there, they had just popped the capsule. In the future, I need to work on telling my scouts to hold DPS and use only EWAR so that the entire fleet can get on the killmail.

My scouts gave me intel on a small gang sitting at a plex. I told the vanguard to go in and ended up bringing the fleet in immediately. Unfortunately, we were only able to catch the Retribution (not saying that that's bad) and quickly destroyed it. Without realizing it at the time, we also lost one of our scouts.

My scout found a small gang of three ships sitting in a medium plex. It could have been a recon trap so I had the entire fleet warp in and slide at the same time so that I didn't risk my scouts or vanguard. When we slid we found out that they were actually fighting and there was no recon trap. We took down the Vengence and spread our webs and scrams onto the Rupture. After killing the Vengence we put full DPS on the Rupture. I am very happy that no one was killed and that everyone was able to pilot their ships well.

In Akidiagi my scouts gave intel of a cyno up and an unfitted Pheonix being transported out of station. Analiese warped to the cyno at range to get a better view of the situation. As he was reporting, I decided to just do it and warped the fleet the zero on the cyno. This was a bad idea. We were able to hoar a bit on the Pheonix kill, but unknown to me the Citadel had a defense system that tore my fleet to shreds. Most of us were able to get out. In hindsight, I am glad that I took this since I learned a valuable lesson about warping straight to a station that is undocking caps.

As we were waiting on a gate, my scouts told me there was a large Galmil fleet in system. Almost at the same time, a Tristan landed on Coaxter at the sun. I decided to go for it. I told the fleet to warp to Coaxter. As we soon found out, the Tristan was bait. Quite quickly after that a Harpy landed on grid, then the entire fleet came. We were bloobed by multiple cruisers. Origianally I was calling for fleet to engage the destroyers. After the Vexors landed on grid, I told the fleet to start targeting them and take it down. We ended up taking down one before the fleet broke. After Analiese was dead in his TD ship, the Brutix and other bigger ships were able to effectively shoot us and take us down. I went down before logi could save me (though you did a good job primarying me for a while, thanks!). I handed command over to my second in command (Archemide) who stated calling targets for the fleet to engage. After he went down I recommended to the 3IC (Neemo) to tell the fleet to scatter.
Overall, I am very happy with this fight. Even though we did not come out on top, we still had a good time and gained some valuable experience with fleet fights and following the commands of the FC. I am particularly happy with the logi being able to keep us up for the first while before the majority of the other fleet warped on grid.

On our way back home, we came across a small RR gang. We warped to the plex and slid on contact as a fleet. I told the fleet to spread points and scrams and stated on breaking one. We had some trouble breaking the first one as there were still 6 reps going on it most likely. We eventually got it and went to work on the next Exequror. We broke this one as well and unsurprisingly easily broke the last one.
I am quite happy with this engagement since due to our numbers at the end, it was near 1v2. To be able to break those reps was no easy task and easily took us a good five minutes. Unfortunately, Deus had previously fought Penelore and I and he primaried us over everyone else. Thanks to our one logi who kept reps on me the entire time I was able to stay up until we had killed the first two targets. After I died, I burned back two jumps as the rest of the fleet finished off the last target.

Overall evaluation
- ✔ (Positive stuff)
- My target calling is getting better
- My knowledge of ships and how to use doctrines is getting better.
- I believe that I created a good environment for my scouts to get to learn how to do their thing. Also, I believe that I created a good environment for any newbro to learn more about fleets and fleet fights.
✘ (Negative stuff)
- I still need to get better at determining how engageable a ship is with our current DPS.
- I need to learn more about stations and the weapons they can use on us.
- I need to better process the information given by scouts. I don't think I would have called the fleet to warp to the sun if I thought about the fleet that was in there with us as well.
- During fights, I need to call the targets that we can get down quickly and have the most damage, not just the ones that are closest.
