After we managed to get a megathron rolling eggs, i was rolled in and lost my proteus and (empty) pod so i was making my way back from my medical clone, and decided to go via the lowsec, where we earlier killed a gnosis gatecamping.
When i jumped in the system where we killed the gnosis before, i noticed a lot of yellow on my overview, and among them, the pilot from earlier! Cynabals, Brutix', Loki, the good stuff, so i was like, nice, and "asked" in comms: "Lets smash a gatecamp". Then i promplty clicked jump, and until i realised what i did, reapproaching the gate with a shuttle, i was already locked and pointed. so i lost a poor shuttle :c so remember kids: if your route has ended, dont just click on the selected item buttons anymore, but move back to right click menu!

So i called for Light Shield and we formed, a ping went out, and people came. After a longer formup than i anticipated, we undocked and staged on .2b1l, which is Miroitem, during formup i was asked if i wanted cloaky eyes, which i initially wanted, but later changed my mind and denied, part of me wanted to go in more or less blind, and part of me wanted more LS ships, although i shouldve went for more anti tackle as it later turned out.
So in summary:
Funnily enough, said gnosis person, started texting me during the formup, and we were chatting away, right until we jumped in and we landed on grid, with the same gate, Rancer, as the gatecamp was earlier.
As we landed, the overview went up in bright yellow bars, but there were no cruisers and upwards on the gate, instead destroyers and below! but some were also flashing, so i just called the kikimora, which was flashy primary, which died promtly, just when it died, their magus mjd into our direction with the fleet, and we had to change positioning, they landed right on our logi, so -1 logi, while we were trying to switch targets i noticed we were getting split dps, i was constantly broadcasting, but i never said i was broadcasting, which i think mightve caused some of the split dps.
The beginning of the fight went well, but eventually we lost critical mass around the time we killed the hecate and we just couldnt break the sigtanking ships with the logi on grid, which is when i finally tried shooting the deacons for the first time, which proved my point that we just couldnt break the logi, at this point i shouldve tried to extract really, and onwards i basically welped, although i did eventually call scatter, although too late, as we then had some of us getting pointed.
but a real good fight, called gfs in local and went back home

Overall evaluation
I expected to be fighting a cruiser and up gang, not some "elite wh pvpers", according to the x13 player i was conversing with, with small, hard to track ships. i think our LS wouldve wrecked the x13 comp tho.
The people we did fight, made good use of MJDs tho, which definitely punished some of us with their positioning. they did get a good mjd off on our logi right at the beginning of the fight as well. And near the beginning we also lost our stabber, our only web, which i shouldve paid more attention to, because that was kind of huge, as we only had one, again, because i was not expecting many frigates. But hey, i did get the two kikis, which apparently was half their dps, which mightve kept us in the game for longer than otherwise, and made this roughly isk even, surprisingly, i would say!
FCing LS is definitely something i need to work on a lot, keeping the positioning of the fleet cohesive is i think my biggest weakness in LS, as well as trying to stay too long without regrouping and or calling it. But damn if it isnt a fun challenge! LS, and SS are my favourite Doctrines to fly. so theres that.
I am glad that i made clear before undocking, that people should insure their ships, as i was sort of expecting that people would die, just not at this scale.
Something that confused me a bit, was the amount of yellow in the overview, mostly because half of them were just eating popcorn, and was actually the people who we originally wanted to break up.
