Great formup as always, with 3 ceptors and 2 dictors as well as around 20 Talwars. We burnt up through Low Sec to join Cloud Ring, and spotted a couple of Battlescruisers moving through us which I attempted to engage, but we werent set up for Low Sec combat, with no Logi for taking gate fights, so after we proved unable to Alpha them before they warped we moved on
Soon after entering Null, we found a nice VNI who our scouts spooked into warping to the sun where we caught up to him. Nice shiny cargo hold!
Vexor Navy Issue +246.56m
Capsule +0.01m
Another VNI was caught ratting a few jumps out. Less shiny here, and the rats finished him before we could all get on the kill sadly. We also took this oportunity to use the rats as practice for engaging multiple targets
Vexor Navy Issue +90.7m
We spotted a couple of ratting carriers at this point which, with a bigger Cruiser fleet and some EWAR support, I might have made a play for. Worth noting for later!
We were burning up towards GME and Horde's ratting pocket, but the welcome party at the gate was too much for us to handle, so I turned us around. As we left, Megoste (for some reason in an Ishtar) got caught by a Combat Ceptor gang and killed. I've noted the kill below but I'm kinda excluding it from the final ISK calculations cos...Megoste brought an Ishtar on a Talwar fleet
Ishtar -321.19m
Capsule -0.01m
The Combat Ceptor fleet who killed Megoste came after us - we attempted to engage but they decided they preferred being slippery and moved on wherever they were going. We caught a couple of stragglers though simply with Alpha strikes before they could warp
Claw +35.98m
Ares +41.46m
Capsule +0.01m
Moving on into 7RM (Horde staging) we caught and killed a ratting Algos in a belt, then set up at a ping off the KLY gate to see the response fleet form
Algos +2.78m
Capsule +0.01m
So, the interesting bit! Horde formed up around 20 Sniper Rail Cormorants and warped almost directly between us and the gate, probably 20km off the gate, and 40km off of us
Seeing a similar number of Destroyers landing inside our optimal range, I decided to take the fight straight away. I had everyone anchored on me, and was bringing us in on a somewhat spiral closer to the fleet to try and make their tracking an issue
Looking at the kills, and the timing of kills, we were trading fairly well initially, however I was picked up as the anchor very early on, and almost immediately blapped off the field. Frank as 2IC did a good job stepping up, but I believe they landed reinforcements shortly after, and basically snowballed us from there. We got our Interdictors out but very few others. Jax did a great job picking up the pieces and getting the few survivors out to Low Sec
