TEST ALLIANCE REBEL ALLIANCE
A short time ago in a galaxy not so far away.....
I decided to leak an AAR (after action report) for a fleet I just ran.
(11:25:32 PM) Fleet Name: Burn baby burn FC: Callduron TEST Mumble Op 3 Caracals > logis > damps > else couple of dics please NOL @ now Duration: Hour ish Reimbursable: dics only
#### SENT BY [Redacted] to All online test/dawww @ 2013-05-16 22:20:02 EVE Time ####
[that's a Jabber ping btw for anyone who's been wondering what one looks like].
We had a smallish fleet of about 7 caracals with frigate and logi support plus a couple of dictor heroes.
We went next door to PR- and camped the undock for a little while to see if Pizza wanted to play. After a few minutes we went next door to 1DH and camped the CFC guys for a while, almost catching a Buzzard who was playing chicken with us. Eventually they undocked 3 carriers so we insulted them robustly and left. As we left Pizza uncloaked and launched bombs but we were aligned and all got out so pffftt to Pizza, gg no re.
went to A-E where we caught a NC. Stabber.
We then went to 1-SMEB where we blew up half a dozen NC. bubbles and shot one of four onlining SBUs to see if we could spark a response. They sent a couple of bombers in so I decided to retreat having won the isk war.
NC. got all excited and decided to follow us in a bomber while rage-forming a Talos gang but apparently pressing the cloak button is hard because we blew their scout up.
Bet he wishes he was in an elite pvp spaceguild like TEST where we'd teach him to press a button. With his tongue probably.
We then airily swanned home through the star-spangled sky like a flight of doves gracefully docking up in NOL-M9 like the twinkle-toed rascals we are.
[leaked from the Test forums - Test spy, best spy. Many Bothans died to bring you this AAR]. |

Do you honestly think anyone would care about a dying alliance's 7 man caracal roam? GÇ£We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.GÇ¥- Special needs division of Fcon. |

Actually I was hoping that Black Legion might hear about it and Fleelo Knight might bring you guys back to Sakht to fight us. Or did you failcascade last time you ran away from us?
More seriously, yes I think small stuff done by junior people is interesting to a lot of people who play Eve. It's not all about sov and coalition level fights but that's the only thing that people who don't live in sov null ever hear about.
Anyway stand by for further content. I'm thinking of taking destroyers out this weekend. |

Ran away... keep drinking that koolaid
A 7 man caracal roam where you kill two lone ships and make digs at a superior alliance isn't something people will want to read, nor does it promote small gang.

I'll do my best not to make digs at a superior alliance.

Gasp! So toxic!
No wonder there's not much content posted here.
Here's today;s after action report:
We moved into HM- where PL was gate camping. They moved out except for a couple of small ships on perches. One of our slashers decided to hero tackle a stiletto just as I warped us off without telling me and ended up in a 1v1 which he lost.
We moved to 1-S where we parked our Omens by the SBU and started slowly melting it. We did about 4% damage (leaving it at 96% shield) before NC. formed up a serious business fleet of about 40 Rokhs. We parked ourselves in a pos to wait them out and they camped it, reffing the pos at 7-1.
My plan was to just wait them out, burn out their ability to keep forming simply by hitting their sbus 23 hours a day. If a few of us in cruisers can force them to CTA then we can keep doing it and maybe burn them out.
I sent a scout to find an armed pos to see if we could park them somewhere they might lose a few ships. We warped a few ships over but they quickly got a bubble in the way.
Then I got told that my guys were urgently needed to support a FC in Fountain so I #yoloed to the jb but it was bubbled and we got caught by dictors and most of us welped. It turned out that the message was a misunderstanding and we were not in fact needed. Annoying, we welped for nothing.
I should have fleet warped just after we landed on the bubbles, half the fleet in bubbles half not and saved half of the fleet. Also I should have clarified the situation with the other FC. Also I should have got a scout to make me a few perches around the jb rather than rushing it.
So mistakes were made but lessons were learned, I'll try to do better next time.
A handful of enterprising heroes got safe and made it past all the camps back to NOL. |

After welping a fleet earlier I decided to get back on the bicycle with a nice simple frigfleet. I called for frigates and got 45 of us.
I made one squad of about 5 people "Bait Squad" and had them +1 as aggressive scouts. We jumped into the Pandemic Legion camp and chased a few interceptors then I told people to regroup, align.
One hero Slasher chased and caught an interceptor just as I warped us out without me realising it. Always tell the FC if you're about to get a tackle, bros. We warped back but he'd lost the 1v1.
We moved up to 1-S, blowing up a couple of NC. bubbles and shooting their SBU again to annoy them with notifications. Then a friendly Rokh, who had been left over from last night's epic 4-way asked me for an escort. I agreed and we took him a back way home to NOL where he reshipped into a frig.
We took a short break then warped to the jb to try to bust up a CFC gatecamp in D-3. We caught 3 frigates, which was nice work.
Then we returned to find a PL talwar gang on the NOL undock. I bounced us around looking for a nice ping and we caught a couple of them but were trading badly so after bouncing around to try to get a really good warpin and some help from a friend probing us spots I decided to call it as we'd not found a nice close spot.
Another FC took over and reshipped us to talwars which was the start of an epic brawl in NOL with Pandemic Legion and NC. lasting several hours. |

Can you please go in to detail about how you are letting your blues, Raiden, Lose high end moons in Querious and only showing up with "token" Talwars to help?

At my level of things I don't really worry about this. As a trainee FC my brief is to go find bad guys and shoot them. I prefer to pick fights I think we'll win or draw.
I'm not allowed (and not competent enough) to take 100 Rokhs off to help an ally. I'm always happy to take a band of T1 cruisers or frigates off to help an ally.
As for Talwars they're great ships. We had a three hour talwar brawl with PL last night in NOL. |

I know about talwars, we used them many times against TEST and Tribe when we were down south and had a blast with them.

[HOME DEF] Here we go again!
Fleet Name: Here we go again! FC: Callduron TEST Mumble Op 6 Fingerbang NOL @ now Duration: short Reimbursable: no
Let's rock
#### SENT BY Redacted to Test alliance @ 2013-05-18 16:17:30 EVE Time ####
[Fingerbang is afterburner close range cruisers, loosely based on ahacs]
We had a Banderlogs cruiser fleet on the NOL undock so I went for a fast form to try and brawl them. We formed in about 5 minutes but missed Banderlogs so we went next door to PR- to play with Pizza.
They formed 3 Talos and some bombers. We took a bombing run without losses which was good as I think we can get a bit too scared of bombs and need to be reacting aggressively to bombers. They didn't kill anyone and we had time to lock up a few bombers so there's definitely potential to get kills if we use different ships.
I warped us to the station at 50km and had a dictor bubble. I told everyone to jettison bms in the bubble for decloaking. And we hung around the bubble for a bit. A Pizza tempest started playing docking games and the taloses warped to a perch at range so I decided to leave.
Some of our have-a-go hero frigates decided to cancel warp and stay and I'm afraid I rather shouted at them. People reminded me what alliance I'm in. Sorry guys!
[Note for people outside our alliance: one of the unique parts of flying with TEST is our relaxed attitude and that people are free to play how they want. So I was out of line telling hero frigates not to try to fight people even though from an efficiency point of view they were playing a low percentage game.]
We headed up to 1-S to annoy NC. I had my frigates make me perches around the jump bridge while the rest sat on the sbu shooting it. They checked me out then rage-formed into I think it was Muninns. We exited via jump bridge.
Next thing of note was a Razor gang in D-W. I was told it was Talos but it was actually bombers. I sent a Maller and some frigates in to scout. I also sent a guy in who for some reason hadn't brought a ship but he somehow managed to get lost on his way to jumping into the next system. <3
They were in bombers so I bailed on that fight too but unfortunately I didn't allow enough time for our Maller scout to rejoin us and he got caught and torped by bombers. We tried to rescue him but were too late so we cross-jumped them and returned to NOL.
I think it was a problem roaming in Fingerbang. It's very good for brawling which is why I called for it when i though RU. might fight us in cruisers but against bombers and kiting ships it's very hard to catch targets. However it's certainly sturdy and it also deters most gangs from jumping into us. |

lol at all the bittervets in here
None of them think this is "interesting", yet they post multiple times to let you know that this is really how they feel (slight giggle). Keep the BR's coming Callduron.. some of us find it refreshing to sometimes read something else than....umh... i forgot this is CAOD.. nothing else ever gets posted here other than random corps birthdays.

Thanks Lucy! Here's tonight's:
Formed up as intel reached us that Fountain was buzzing. Init had a Vexor gang out which was our first point of interest.
We managed to form up talwars without any frigates! Goes to show how accessible the ship is for newbros. So I used Talwar scouts.
We exited NOL via the quieter O-I gate and word reached us of a gate camp in D-W not far away. They had spies in our fleet though so they warped off and cloaked up while we were positioning in the next system. I got a convo from Jogyn, a PL FC offering us a fight. That sounded much more fun than chasing cloaky campers so we got into HM- for an arranged fight. (I told Jogyn we'd get into system first to tidi him).
I warped us to planet 1 and had people burn off to give me perches 200km off a can I dropped at zero - up down, left right, etc. I checked range and we had a wide variety of maximum ranges from 72km to 34 km which is normal when a number of people are new.
I bounced us around a few times trying to get a position I was happy with although in retrospect we should have brawled at zero as I think all the PL guys could hit us but not all of us could hit the PL dudes because of range issues.
We also became quite straggled with our various levels of skills. I'm not quite sure what is the best fix for this. If I set 66% speed as anchor then we're tanking suboptimally as speed reduces dps.
My target calling wasn't quite perfect. Target selection was fine - I picked the closest and they were all in talwars, avoiding the opposition FC.
We killed 2 talwars lost 15 which I'll take considering the other guys have more or less perfect skills and a lot of us were new. We would have killed more with tackle or better focus fire as some of the people we primaried managed to warp off. There was some target indiscipline with people shooting pods over primaries. We had a dictor but he was having technical problems and couldn't speak on comms and I didn't use him effectively. (Half because of the problems half a mistake by me).
In the end I went for one last kill, lost my ship then got the rest out, moving people with caution back to base.
The opposition FC apologised for primarying me but it made no odds as I died at the same time as that last target and had already made up my mind to bail after him. Still it's wonderful to see an honorable courteous engagement in Eve. Thanks PL!
I really enjoyed it and I think the people in my fleet enjoyed it too. We had a chat about it for a while on comms afterwards. While there is a lot of room for improvement both for me as a FC and for pilots skill training it was a good old-fashioned fun fight and I learned a lot. |

Well you talk big but your alliance still owns two fewer regions than TEST.
And feel free to entertain us with your roam to MC6-5J. Looks like an interesting story. |
