First major engagement was a returning caldari group of approximately 40-50 caldari jumping in from Tama. We lost 3 ships they lost aproximately 30-40 ships... roughly 80% of their fleet. (these kill numbers are general estimates as the kill notifications are difficult to distinguish between). That engagment ended when the caldari left the field like the whipped puppies they where.
3rd engagment... minior... occured on the station at planet 5. Caldari were setting up outside station and a Wing of foom, 10 ships total warped in at range and forced them back in. 0 losses FOOM, 5-10 kills (approximately) caldari. They docked.
Final engagment was the most interesting. Caldari mass undocked and split fleet, half staying on station and half warping to FOOM sniper wing. FOOM close range wing was already in warp to sniper team and commenced to start taking out ships. Decision was made to disengage due to other matters in system. This is the engagment where we lost 16 ships durring withdrawal. estimated Caldari losses at around 10-15. I am most unsure about the caldari losses during this engagment.
Although this description is well formed your facts are twisted. Seeing as I led said fleet returning from the tama system. Althought my scouts were reporting from the gate your fleet was on, massive interference had left your ships shrouded from view. Upon jumping my fleet consisting of 70 plus ships into system most became inoperable do to extreme sensory overload, causing many to have to disengage from the fight before even firing a shot. Although some ships were eventually able to overcome this initial draw back, the lack of heavy hitters operational influenced the decision to leave the fight and re-calibrate.
We had minimal loses, consisting of one noteable Command Ship and only a few medium to small T1 craft. Not the blood bath you depicted.
Your last two descriptions are for the most part accurate, however the number of ships destroyed in the last fight are by no means correct, purhapes you killed up to 10 ships which is still pushing it. Not to mention most of your loses consisted of Battleships overall, while ours were of significantly less value.
The only matter that led your fleet to disengage was that of human self preservation.
By no means am I trying to tarnish your fleets craftiness or bravery on the battlefield, for it was an interesting fight indeed. However, be sure to keep the facts straight. If you do not know, do not say you do.
Until we meet again,
