[AAR] BLAP Merlins 27/11/2018

Post by Adrien Claremont »

A fun little weeknight roam. Form up was good. Plenty of volunteers for Logi and Ares stepping up to be our scout for the evening. With everything set, we headed off up the pipe to Black Rise

Kills and Losses

Ares found us quick gank to wet our appetite.

(19:43:15) Heydieles
Incursus +7.18m

Okkamon looked busy, however we lost a logi to a Garmur

(20:02:33) Okkamon
Burst -5.48m

The main fleet set off towards Akidagi while Pink gave us some intel on a Muninn camping a gate in Okkamon. Vanguard jumped back in to try and bait a fight with the Muninn but instead found us a lovely Typhoon. Main fleet followed and a fun fight started. The Typhoon had some friends warp in while we were also joined by a third party nano gang. Obviously the little soft shelled frigates were targeted first. We held long enough to snag a Rapier too before the 3IC or 4IC by that point called scatter.

(20:13:06) Okkamon
Burst -11.73m
Merlin -3.62m
Burst -3.04m
Typhoon +221.32m
Burst -6.75m
Merlin -3.12m
Merlin -3.58m
Rapier +272.15m
Merlin -8.75m

Poking around again, Ares found us a nice VNI in a large plex.

(20:42:23) Pavanakka
Vexor Navy Issue +79.83m

Heading over to the Martoh/Kinakka/Eha side, we found a Salt Farmers Retribution fleet. There was no way were going to take that fight, regardless of the pleas from Salt Farmers in local. Unfortunately we lost one Merlin during the chase.

(20:51:46) Eha
Merlin -7.61m
Capsule -0.01m

Fleet landed on a gate with what looked to be a stationary Atron. Initially I expected him to warp straight off so I called for the fleet to advance to the outgate. When I saw he wasn't moving though, those of us that were left pounced for the kill. With half our logi already in warp though, we did lose one to gate guns.

(21:02:49) Renarelle
Atron +0.89m
Merlin -2.82m

Another gank secured by Ares

(21:13:01) Akidagi
Breacher +10.07m

And again, another nice gank to finish off the evening.

(21:19:39) Hikkoken
Hecate +167.36m
Capsule +0.01m

Stats
ISK Destroyed: 758,812,161.19
ISK Lost: 56,504,373.63
ISK Delta: 702,307,787.56
Efficiency: 93.07%

Overall evaluation
  • (Positive stuff)
    A great job by the fleet with ensuring we did all the basics right. Everyone kept up with fleet commands and it was only with the fast pace warping while we were trying to outrun the Retributions did people fall behind.
    Logi did a great job of keeping everyone up while sacrificing themselves for the Tempest/Rapier kill.
    Ares did a brilliant job on his first outing as a fleet scout
    (Negative stuff)
    Once we reshipped after the Tempest fight, we probably should have gone back to Okkamon for round two.
    At one point the fleet did split ourselves in half due to some confusion. i called for someone to jump back into us, but at the same time half the fleet jumped out as well. My fault for not being clear enough.
    Reshipping is expensive in Ichoriya. Getting some extra BLAP Merlins on contract over there would be really helpful in the future
Please add your own comments and feedback below guys.

Thanks for coming out and don't forget to SRP your losses. Don't forget, for those taking part in the CCI, you can claim this as a HSC participation fleet.

Cheers

This is beautiful:
(20:13:06) Okkamon
Burst -11.73m
Merlin -3.62m
Burst -3.04m
Typhoon +221.32m
Burst -6.75m
Merlin -3.12m
Merlin -3.58m
Rapier +272.15m
Merlin -8.75m
Now that's using Merlins as designed: ammo.

Regarding reshipping in Ichoriya: what department/campus/individuals would that be under?

HSC? LSC? Arguably the new Production Department could fill the spot. Or any budding entrepreneur who wants to make some money.

It was a fun fleet. I really enjoyed and learned a lot.
Reconsidering the engagements... maybe I should better hold my dps at some point, for others to join the party and get in the killmail.

Yeah, thanks again for having me. It was a blast for me as well and I sure did learn a thing or two:

a) don't let your safety settings sit on red
b) how fast you get shot down by Concord when entering HighSec with a crimestat (first time for me)
