[AAR] EDI Research Fleet to Stellar Fleet Deployment Site
Posted: 2020.10.25 10:37EDI Public Research Fleet to Stellar Fleet Deployment Site, Aldik
Objective:
- Destroy the Dazh Locus Site in a Triglavian Minor Victory System
- Stellar Fleet Deployment Site in Aldik, Minmatar Republic, Minor Triglavian Victory
Communication and Planning
Used an ad-hock, hierarchy flat, Discord channel for communication.
Desired Fleet composition:
- 13 Damage Dealers
- 7 Logisticians
- 1 Salvager
- 13 Damage Dealers
- 6 Non-Chain Logisticians
- 3 Capacitor Chain Logisticians
- 1 Salvager
Timeline
- Fleet form up at 17:45
- Fleet undock at 18:25
- Fleet underway at 18:50
- Fleet attempted warp-in point at 19:05
- Fleet docked, repaired and attempted first room at 19:30
- Break until 20:15
- Break extended until 20:45
- At 20:45 the Fleet was dismissed due to lack of Logisticians
Fleet maneuver practice
For 25 minutes the Fleet practiced:
- Tagging
- Anchoring
- Aligning to Cosmic Anomalies
- Killing tagged ships according to instructions
- Assigned Drone Bunny duty
Discoveries
System:
- There were no Entropic Disintegrator Werpost sentry guns near the Stargate; they were only deployed near NPC Stations
- Dazh Liminality Locus greatly limits ship speed and amount of targets you can have at the same time
- Response Fleets did not warp in to defend the Entropic Disintegrator Werpost
- Allows only T1 Cruiser and below to go through the Stellar Transfer Conduit
- Dazh Kolida is an Industrial ship that anchors Entropic Disintegrator Werpost near Stargates, Stations and Asteroid Belts
- Classified as a Temporary Collidable Structure
- Deals damage to all Drones and capsuleer ships within (?) km
- Quickly kills all Drones and forces all Fleet members to broadcast for repair at the same time; this panicked Logisticians
Fleet:
- Planning which Logistician will repair which DPS squad is desirable because the Nemiz Pulse Destructor applies damage to the whole Fleet
- Capacitor Logisticians are too risky; if one dies, all become vulnerable; they can repair fewer targets at once
- Members broadcasted for Shields despite only having Armour Logisticians
- Members broadcasted immediately after taking damage
- Drone Bunnies and Drones are ineffective because Drones are immediately destroyed by the Nemiz Pulse Destructor
- Used the English alphabet to spell out names
- Said jump once when ordering the Fleet to jump through a Stargate
- Yielded to a more knowledgeable capsuleer and made them 2IC
Outcome:
- 10 Fleet members have been killed in the first room of the Stellar Fleet Deployment Site
- Gathered a lot of data about the Stellar Fleet Deployment Site
- Gained ~85M ISK of loot and salvage; what will be done with it eludes me

About the EDENCOM Defense Initiative
- The Fleet was organized by bomberlocks a Junior Fleet Commander of the EDENCOM Defense Initiative or EDI
- The Fleet losses were covered by EDI's Ship Replacemant Program or SRP and by Verum Peto
Personal Notes
- Joining the EDI's Discord was quite easy, but finding the approved ship Fit was not
- EDI members Syfa and TabKit gave me a hand and sent me all the required ship Fittings
- A few "Trusted Member"s of EDI accused me of being a "Known Triglavian Supporter" and said I should be flagged, a stark reminder that the Communications Policy applies to University members only
- There was no sign up procedure for the Fleet
- The Fleet was ill prepared for the horrors that await in the Stellar Fleet Deployment Site
- Despite heavy losses the Fleet atmosphere was fun and lighthearted with only minor frustrations about how to best assign Logistics and Damage Dealer duties
- My overall impression of the Event is positive
- I recommend that EDI setup a sign up procedure and that the Fleet Commanders communicate their knowledge about the Site and what the Fleet should expect both during the Fleet and in the Event advertisement
I recommend the Event and you should attend it to:
- Gather knowledge about the new and exciting Triglavian Sites for yourself and our Wiki
- Open up new ways of making ISK
- Meet new people from all across New Eden with a variety of skills and interests
- Learn about ships, roles and their Fittings
If you'd like to know what it was like to assault the Extractive Super-Nexus, check out my next Report.
If you are interested in attending a similar Event contact me and I'll see if I can persuade one of EDI's Fleet Commanders to become a Guest Fleet Commander who will lead EVE University against the Triglavians.
