Kills and Losses
We tricked this guy into a fight by pretending to leave system. We almost pulled this off a second time in the next system.

Dragoon +21.49m
(20:01:53) Hikkoken
Federation Navy Comet -29.18m
We followed this guy for ages, until our newbro Ethan managed to catch him and after Yrgrasil got secondary point. It was a disappointingly cheap fit this time. I've seen better from ratain.

All of our losses (Comet and the whole fleet) were inflicted by Tau AD and Elite Pilots, the former Alliance leader of Project Mayhem. They know how to play, surprisingly we actually had a chance, BUT!!!
From Lack of Cohesion...
1.) Seeing a 1'000 things in space, we really got into very few engagements. The beginning as always from Stacmon is super slow. there is really never something until you reach either Vlillerier or Heydieles. At the end I opened up our fleet by letting people split up and cover more area, looking for that last fight. Always when you open up you take risks and those guys were so fast, that they already caught us off-guard. Think Zoltan got surprised, cause he was not able to slide. So we were not able to slide and catch their kiters on the beacon. Fleet was massively split up.
...to Messy Grid
2.) Due to us not being cohesive, we were already massively split up when I landed (I managed to slide my slow ass Algos and had to bounce, I was last on grid). Primary was caught and our fast frigates were on him. but their kiters picked them off. We Algoses when we landed were around 100+ km off the target already and with 1.6km/s top speed it would take forever, especially since the fight was moving away even further. So I called me and Ethan in the Algos to engage the closer guy. We almost got the closer guy down, when we suddenly lost web scram on him and he warped off low structure. Not sure why we lost point. I have no perspective on the fight with the frigates far away. Eventually we all died. I was surprised however how long they took to take us down.
...Leading to Mistakes/Confusion
3.) At the end we held a quick AAR, I heard that Zoltan had Web-Scram on one of their guys as well but had to drop to follow the primary. We agreed that I never want anyone in my fleet to ever drop web scram on a kiter and go against any orders. I am not sure if I had misheard a call, but said to mention it on comms, even twice or three times. The fight was messy as hell. IF (big IF) we would have not lost web scram on the first target close beacon, we Algei would have killed him. If Zoltan didn't drop web scram on the second guy, he would have been next, and than our frigates would only have fought that one retribution, and probably finished him off as well. So we would have won the whole fight, instead we welped.
My summary: Last fight is a sad welp. It was messy and we are not used to fly with each other in this combination yet. In a perfect world, we could have won, but fights in EVE seldomly go perfect. So taking the defeat by Elite Pilots CEO and his guys. GF!
...and sorry team!
