Soo basically just a regular BLAP Merlin Roam with with a bunch of newbros. Mike was scouting and teaching 2 aspiring scouts on the fly and giving them some action as well.

Mike didn't have any reships nearby and we were on our way home at this point, so he started scouting in his capsule and have one of our 2 newbro-scouts go for tackle after locating the targets. It worked wonderfully.

Mike did find a Vexor he must have left months ago in a Station on our way back, so he decided to hop in and sit in a Plex one jump ahead in Ouelletta to try and bait someone into a fight. In the meantime, we found a Venture in a mining-anomaly in Melmaniel. We had to wait almost 2 minutes for Mike to finally get here and get on this high priority KM and blapped it eventually. After that, Mike decided he had no use for this Vexor and started attacking the FC, prompting me to order swift justice upon him.

Overall evaluation

• ✔ (Positive stuff)
  - ISK-Positive
  - Mike died a lot
  - Did I mention we also killed Mike?
  
  ✘ (Negative stuff)
  - Awoxing Uni Staff has become a somewhat regular thing on my fleets

I consider that Vexor more on the GREEN side then the RED side
Fun fleet.
True Scouts die!

That would mean I'd have to calculate all these numbers myself which boils down to extra effort

Good scouts should fly ceptors and don't die.

Though, Ceptor is a very scary target (it rarely travels alone) so in low-sec it might cause people to retreat earlier than they would do if they so another type of the tackle

Additionally a intercepter can't enter Novice FW complexes, being a T2 ship, which is where BLAP Merlins find a portion of their fights.
