Losses:

Merlin
Atron

Kills:

*tumbleweed*


We tried out flying around the north of Placid and I just couldn't resist tackling that Vexor....on a gate...with three t1 frigs :D

The upside: Zoltan got out and looted our wrecks!

Otherwise nothing much happening, Puzzled Monkey got his first try on scouting and did admirably :)

On short notice we went out with three people. I decided to supplement the two t1 frigs with my favorite AF, a Wolf, to give us a bit more wiggle room for engagements. Sounds like a bad idea, I know, but it kinda worked out in the end ;)

On the way through Placid our fast learning scout, Puzzled Monkey, found an Algos at a plex. We jumped into system as he slid the gate and just as he died we came into the plex ourselves. Five seconds faster and we would have gotten the Algos. Afterwards I explained (tried) what goes into tackling a ship that will kill you fast...yes, I should have done that before :D

As there where two big hotspots, most notably Nennamaila, with No Handlebars having some serious fun, we went into Black Rise via Oicx and fruitlessly roamed around the north of BR for a bit. Went back the same way and then again....I just can't resist tackling things on gate I guess :D But this time it was flashy (for some reason the gate guns still exclusively targeted us :P which led to the glorious whelp) and I was in an AF, so finally got the chance to spin up that ADC for the first time, without which we wouldn't have gotten our first kill for the Tourney!

Perfect end to the roam in my mind^^ (Yes this was a really bad trade, I know :D )

So we went out again with two t1 frigs plus AF, in Renarelle we tried engaging a Dragoon which killed Monkey and then bailed, saw a Merlin on another plex and as we slid in I saw that the Dragoon was actually on grid with us again. I engaged, but the others already slid (bad awareness and calls on my part). The Merlin landed as well, so I switched to it. I was very hesitant about calling for backup as I thought they would kill me faster, then the Merlin popped (kill excluded) and I thought maybe we could get the Dragoon as well...another bad call as I was already dead when Zoltan warped in, sorry for that useless whelp Zoltan :/

We quickly reshipped and went back up the pipe, activity was picking up all over the place. We ran into another few Uni gangs. One of them engaged a flashy Rupture on a gate, we held off and then bailed when the whole screen filled with cruisers.
A couple jumps more and we found a neat little Legion fleet, we passed on them as well (obviously too small fry for us :P ) but we then found a real gem in Agoze...Saw a Maulus and a Merlin on D in a plex and was very hesitant, took a long time to assess the situation (I didn't want another embarrassing whelp) but ultimately decided that we should be able to bail if things went south. So we went in. Fount the Maulus at range (obviously) but the Merlin at zero on the beacon. Got tackle and hugged his ship...so Maulus damps where completely ineffectual. We started burning him down....and continued....I asked my gang members if they where really hitting him, yes we all where hitting perfectly, what was going on? No reps or nothing, the shield just steadily decreased, all the while I was anxiously checking D-scan, thought any second this obvious bait would be followed up by someone crushing our dreams, but no one came. Funnily enough the Merlin also never hit us, I was really perplexed. But as the ship finally collapsed under our onslaught we got the explanation: pure shield buffer including two medium shield extenders plus rail guns. My most awesome frig kill to date :D

After that I needed to actually go to bed, but was hungry for another kill, which we found a few jumps over in the form of a really cheap kestrel which almost melted before the whole gang got on it.

The good:

- tried moving quicker and more together, which worked out decently
- best t1 frig kill EVER :P


The bad:

- as always on my part: really bad engagement decision at the beginning (I am considering making the "whelp every fleet within the first ten minutes" my signature move :D )

Here we go boys, slow pace, but steady getting a kill here and there.

We were looking good until we were warping to the 60 AU Medium Complex, two worms landed on us, we were killing them until the Cookie Gang warped into us. I really start to dislike their number superiority, but what to do? They are dominating the entire EU time zone in the Gal-Cal warzone and warping in with a gazillion of bloodthirsty Germans. Anyways, kill is kill. Loss is loss. See you tomorrow.

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

Algos +13.63m

(19:51:29) Nennamaila
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.

(20:19:54) Abune
Tristan -6.63m
Jackdaw +72.12m

(20:27:32) Heydieles
Algos +15.89m

(20:38:25) Hikkoken
Atron -1.62m
Atron -3.95m
Wolf -55.45m
Algos -9.24m
Enyo -55.84m
Algos -8.33m

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!

Tried to get some kills tonight, but went the other way around. We are back in the race for most losses! Wew! :)

Sorry guys for the probably worst fleet I've ever run. We took risks which may have worked both ways, but being too slow on burning down targets, back ups arrived multiple times to kill us in the beginning. At the end we got killed by De Bug which is one of the best pilots out there. We need to be quicker on the DPS application and approach. Keep an eye on improvements and potentially use some shortcuts. May the karma be on our side the next time. Have a nice evening.
