This is why you don’t get fair fights

We had a hole not too far from the PC9 pocket, so I thought I’d poke NSC and see what came out.
Engagement #1
There were initially about 18 in local, so I assumed another fleet was roaming through. I bounced my Stilleto around a bit to give myself time for the other fleet to move on. Eventually a Ramjag and Stiletto came out, so I called for some friends to start funneling out and tried to lead them towards our static null. That was working pretty well, once I pulled them into M2- one of the Caracals that was with me got caught on the gate so that’s where we decided to engage. I came in at 70 off the Caracal and the Stiletto quickly burned towards me. A VNI and Caracal broke their gate cloak as well. Surprisingly the Stiletto didn’t scram me, so I pulled range on the cruisers with my MWD. Unfortunately because I was still burning when Ana warped to me she ended up very close to both and got scrammed and died. We managed to grab tackle on things as the rest of our peeps trickled in as we killed stuff. With the Oracle going down on our end it was fairly even.

Engagement #2
I sent the Stiletto back out to look for more pew. Saw two Myrms and a Ferox. Ferox was a ways off and assumed it was rail fit so burned for it. It warped and jumped through along with a Myrm. The other stayed on grid and had a timer from spooling links, so our ragtag group engaged. Judging from the reps and the well over 1k dps we had on grid, it must have been a triple rep. With his boosts we weren’t breaking it. Our Gila got tackled and we decided to sacrifice it for the group as the other Myrm + Ferox along with a Gnosis and light tackle were coming through as well. We lost a Osprey Navy as well on extract due to not burning off far enough before warping out
Engagement #3
We reshipped Kiki/Deacon. Due to a server drop it looked like the 4 of 13 intel network was down so we moved up. Jumped in the Stiletto and saw a Myrm 200+ off. Burned in knowing reinforcements would follow. Stiletto died and I dropped a BM before warping the pod in case I needed to fling. They popped the wreck, but too late and were all at 0 on it. We landed. One of our Kikis didn’t broadcast in time and got popped. We tackled and killed some stuff. Some of the more nano things burned out of our scram range and got off, but a few good kills were had.
BR for #2 and #3

Engagement #4
Figuring we’d give them a chance for another fight we jumped into PC9. Tackled what I can only assume was a sacrificial Augorer and killed it. We burned a little off gate and waited. And waited. We assumed they’d bring a fair fight considering they knew our comp, we were only a few kikis and a few deacons, etc. Boy were we wrong. A Brutix Navy undocked. Okay we can deal with one or two of those. Three execs, a Myrm. Alright may be a little spicy. Execs land near us and we engage them since the only option is to kill the reps. Two go down. Thorax lands, Curse lands, Caracal, in comes a Bhaal.
Seriously guys? Really? Against a 3 dessies + logi you brought a cruiser/BC fleet + a Bhaal? This is why people don’t like you. The next time anyone from EUni wonders why caps get dropped on you, you’re hard countered, or way out numbered, this is why, this right here. I never want to hear a complaint from NSC about overshipping again. On the plus side, it’s good to know it’s not hard to bait out their bling to drop a few carriers on.

1/10:would not try to bring fair fight again.
