[AAR] The Shared Can fleet after fleet

Post by Tristle Boirelle »

So there I was, sitting in Garoun Investment Bank trying to figure out what I was going to do next after successful completion of the HSC Shared Can event when a war target report came across mumble. Several wartargets were spotted up by Vay heading our way. Report was an Keris, Sythe, and a Caracal. At this point I jumped in my Stabber and figured, welp, maybe we can get a kill or two. A couple people had jumped into ships and we warpped to the Jufvitte gate in Amygnon. At this point I told everyone to just hold on the Juf gate and lets see if we could bate them into a gate fight on our side. Within a minute we had six ships on grid of varring doctrines. It was pointed out that most of us were not actually in Standing but still the shared can fleet. We reformed into the standing fleet and I took squad position. We saw the Hog Hitman's OOC jump into system at which point it was recommended by Psychotic that we get off the gate. After a very short conference I called for the those on the gate to rally back at 101 which we would form a full on QRF. By this time we had a number of pilots asking which ships should they get into. Since I had been making calls up to this point I took command and ordered up Caracals/Sythes > Blackbird/Griffins > Snowflakes (shield fit). The last report I got on the wartargets was that they were in Scheenens but I couldn't get a good count or compostion. At this point I flew my OOC alt up to Sheenens to get a look for myself and quickly found the wartargets on the Jufvette gate. They had a composition of 11 total all caracals except for the lone Sythe and Keris. I this point I called for the EWAR to load a mix of Red/Blue and kept everyone docked. The wartargets then moved into Amygnon talked a little in fleet and then started to despike local. At this point I ordered the fleet to undock and align the Juf gate. Once I had most of the fleet aligned I warped the fleet to the gate, told everyone to hold on the gate. We had an alt report that they were 20Km off the gate in Juf at which point I ordered the fleet to jump and hold cloak.

What I found was the wartarget fleet at about 50Km but burning in to the gate. I told everyone to hold cloak as they burned in. Their Sythe was buring at an arc to the gate out of range of most of our fleet. I broadcasted one of their Caracals as the primary and ordered engagement. With the fleet working over the Caracal I started burning towards the Sythe in my Stabber with my prop mod on. My hope was that with our fleet engaged in with the other fleet I would be able to get close enough to their logi and get it pinned down before anyone noticed. While this was going on, the wartarget fleet felt it would be in their best intrest to take the EWAR off the grid and started with one of the blackbirds first.

About the time Ievos lost his blackbird I got point on their Scythe. I quickly called out in fleet to switch to they Scythe. At this point the wartargets also got a lock on one of our Scythes and made quick work of it.

At this point the wartargets realized what I was doing and they shifted their focus onto me but not before they took out a Griffin.

As I had the entire focus of the wartargets I called out to transfer command and started to make my escape. At this time the first volleys from the Uni fleet were landing on the Scythe and it quickly went down.

We quickly switched back to the first target that we had been shooting and it quickly died

At this point the war targets decided to leave and I called to spread points. They took out our Imperial Navy Slicer that was tackling one of the other Caracals be we were able to maintain point on it an take out a second Caracal.

Totals

IVY Leage 4 ships for 63.88M Isk Lost.
Hog Hitmen 3 ships for 122.34M Isk Lost.

At this point we looted the field, and returned to 101 and called it mission complete.

This was a fun fight, but I was still confused :shock:
Tried to target the Scythe, but I still had the Mining tab up, so he did't show amongst all the asteroids - Mea Culpa
I did have someone in range - so targetted them and fired instead of doing nothing - he was the 3rd Caracal down.
Call came to switch FC and anchor off Psychotic, but there was no Psychotic in fleet and I did not know the name of the alt she was flying.
Realising I was some way behind the fleet, I tried to warp to someone in fleet and anchor off them
I ended up clicking a station in space and warped off..
By the time I warped back the fight was nearly over.

Lesson's for me.
Make sure you have the right tab up in the over view
Make sure you have upated the watch list - I still had Shauny and the Shared can watch list up.
DON'T PANIC!

On the bright side - I actually got on a killboard with actual real damage (as opposed to the 0% I usually get).

Yeah, that was my bad. I am so used to being on Psychotic that I forgot I was on Festivia. My sincerest apologies.

So part of that was on me as well. When I made the call for Psychotic to take over it was because I thought I was about to be removed from grid. Of all the things blasting through my mind it wasn't to check to see if she was actually on her Psychotic character.

This is a minor issue in a very successful defence IMO

My aim was not to complain, but to give an honest report of what I did wrong.
I got left behind - my fault
I mislciked - my fault
I had the wrong overview - my fault and
I had the wrong watch list - also my fault.

I could have anchored off Shauny or max (who would have been anchored off Psychotic) and it would have been fine. but I misclicked and left the grid.
