I thought id give a short report from yesterdays engagement against D-L in E2-r.
A small recon squad started forming up in Stain around 1800 evetime yesterday, while another squad made preparations leaving from Derelik. Our Squad had 12'ish ppl in T2 Cruisers/CS/Frigs. We went directly into Esoteria, more spesific 16P. Wednesday we had a nice engagement against ISS and RA, and was hoping for this to repeat.
However, ppl in 16P hadnt formed up yet, so we kept moving with little luck. We headed further to G-M, but nothing there either. Meanwhile we got reports from other squad on their way. 25 jumps away. We decide to go back to meet up halfway when our scout in o2v?(next to osuf) reports a gatecamp with bubbles. They had snipers in position and we had a clear disadvantage so we turned around.
FC tells us to set dest to e2-r, which was just a short ride away. We hold in neighbour system, while our scout jumps in to check the system. Meanwhile we got new update from other gang. 20 jumps away.
E2-r had 32-33 hostiles in it. Scout: "ok ive got 2 chimeras, a raven a manticore and a curse outside station!" FC: "Perfect, aggro the curse". And within few seconds they started aggroing back. The rest of us jumped in and quickly dispatched the ships, with exception of carriers.
We then kept a distance from the carriers, hoping for a new engagement. Following was some innocent smack in local, mostly fun comments from my pov. And suddenly they undock more ships. 2 scorps, 2 other bs's another carrier, pluss mix of t1 and t2 cruisers. Suddenly we faced 22'ish vs 12. "Warp to planet, warp to planet!" FC yells, and align back to the station! We align back. "Warp to station at xx distance, and realign for planet!" We warped back to the station and started engaging. But our enemy had already engaged warp out. We killed a caracal and aligned for gate.
Scout reports 1 scorp at scanningrange from gate. "warp warp warp and kill that scorp" Fc yells. Midway in warp scout says, "**** they are all at gate". "Perfect" FC says. We jump through the gate and mwd away hoping for them to follow. But they dont. "realign gate" FC says. We go to jumprange.
New report from other gang came in. They were 14 jumps away. We jump back in. Everybody stays cloaked. 2 carriers, 2 scorps pluss varies of ships there. Total 14-15 hostiles vs our gang of 12'ish. We start engaging, and i dont know how many got killed in that engagement from either side. Carriers keep repping their gangmates. The warpout order comes from our FC.
Warpout was the last thing i tried that evening. I selected a spot in space and started mwd'ing in my vaga, but i must have had a lagspike and instead of going away from them i ended in the middle of them. Wham bam slap and im down and podded.
Rest of the fight is a report from what i heard on comms so might be a bit off. FC warps the gang back in to the gate and starts engaging. The exact numbers on each side i dont know, but hostiles warped out in the end. "Align station" FC says. "xxx where the F... is ur gang?" FC yells. Other gangleader report 8 jumps away hauling ass.
D-L reform at station having 3-4 carriers outside along with alot of support. At that point i think recon gang was down to 8 ppl. Reinforcements arrive, and our gang is back up at 14'ish ppl. Gang warps back to station and engages. Lots of boom boom and slap, FC calling targets back and forth. In the end we were the ones collecting the loot (that was outside carriers web and nos range).
Props to D-L for bringing it. Hope u guys enjoyed the fight. We certanly did! Bear out with me on numbers during the different engagements. Might be a bit off.
Kills vs deaths. 19'ish vs 5'ish (pluss 2 podlosses on our side. Again might be a bit off.
Hopefully we will get some good engagements with u guys in future
