[AAR] Not quite a QRF in AMY 2019-11-17

Post by Dinah Arsten »

I'm writing this as I haven't seen an AAR for it yet, and there was not a formal QRF or FC.

TL;DR - Despite not having a proper QRF formed in AMY, we were lucky and killed a Gila WT, for the loss of a Slasher and an Astero.

steve boses (Hog Hitmen - https://zkillboard.com/character/93243818/) turned up in JUF and was tracked to AMY, whereupon he docked up. Various people on the HSC Mumble channel went looking for him and we found him at Amygnon VI - Moon 1 - Garoun Investment Bank Vault. It wasn't clear if he was going to actively cause trouble, so we didn't immediately form a full QRF. I remained docked up there to keep an eye on him.
Kills:
steve boses, Gila: https://zkillboard.com/kill/79957317/

Losses:
Bruice Almighty, Asteros: https://zkillboard.com/kill/79957276/
Dinah Arsten, Slasher: https://zkillboard.com/kill/79957294/

Stats:
ISK Destroyed: 582m
ISK Lost: 88m
ISK Delta: + 494m
Efficiency: 85%

Evaluation:
+ Once I called out I had tackle, the immediate response from Unistas to warp in and help was awesome.
+ There's sufficient combat-ready experience and ships in AMY that even without a formal QRF and FC, we can self-organize on the fly to kill single WTs.
+ Opportunistic tackling can therefore work as a tactic. I wasn't expecting him on-grid, and the decision to tackle was spur-of-the moment. I survived long enough. For discussion: Would a policy of "tackle now, QRF later" work for AMY and JUF on single-WTs, to encourage Unistas to create a more contested environment?
- After calling out I had tackle, I should have explicitly asked people to warp to me. I think many people warped to the station, which put them a bit out.

Just perfect!
I was wondering the story behind this kill ! You just tackled him with a ship worth under a million and called the cavalries :D He was trying to engage us in local chat in Amygnon that day with some interesting choice of words and by the end of the day you guys made him eat all of those words by acting cool and then finally kill him ! :lol: Although, I wonder how he failed to kill your frigate to be honest since it has rapid lights on the ship.
This reveals how important the initial and heavy tackles are ! Need more tackle ships in your personal stocks so you can grab and hunt easy!
