[2018-09-07] FunRoam: Harpies - IV

[wootman369]

AAR by: Budda Sereda, FC of this fleet


The beta was planned, but red folks did not undock so we downgraded to roam.

We had 1 Thalia, Sabre, Cruor, Ceptor and 4-6 Retributions.

I decided to check surroundings, and scouts reported NOmens and NOsprey tethered to the citadel in X36.

My plan was we to scram either NOmen or NOsprey and with 1 logy we could kill it before it kills the logy.

Unfortunately, while we arrived into X36 (I jumped ahead, originally we were 2 jumps away) those 2 NOmens were on a gate and... dunno why, but I did not have my ceptor pilot on grid.
They locked me and started pulling range, I was afraid they will run away and if they see us in full they just will run away.
So I locked them back, and called fleet to jump and join. Unfortunately (obviously) they were too fast, we could not keep them and get down. Plus they got Loki to help.

I guess at this moment I should have called us to scatter, but I needed to learn the lesson the hard way,
First, we lost Sabre, then Thalia... I called fleet to align out and save whatever yet we had: quite a few people escaped.

(01:27:44) X36Y-G
Sabre -102.44m
Thalia -41.03m
Retribution -60.95m
Cruor -95.25m
Retribution -75.36m

Those folks followed us so it needed some efforts to bring us back home, but we still lost people:

(01:39:52) E9KD-N
Crow -37.16m

In 6RC those guys hanged a bit on a gate, warped back and forth. We did reship and tried to catch them, but they were on the ball, same as we paid attention to not feed more so no further kills.

Overall evaluation
✔ (Positive stuff)
2 fights in literally 10-15 minutes.
✘ (Negative stuff)
Many mistakes:
- we should have disengaged much earlier
- we should have had a scram on those folks before engaging


In any case, thanks guys for coming and hope to see you later!
