First FC job and a reasonably good OP

We had a call for support as one of our own was being camped by war targets, a Maelstrom and Hurricane is a little overkill for a lone harbinger, so we got a gang together and strolled down only to see them flee, so we decided to have some fun with their POS,

At the time our fleet consisted of:

4 Ravens,
2 Armageddons
2 Abaddons
1 Megathron
1 Tempest
1 Redeemer
1 Rokh
1 Guardian
and a hauler bringing in cap booster and ammo.

Now this op went well, despite the occasional frantic cry for reps and cap/shield transfer which was expected because for many of the pilots, including myself it was our first POS seige. We reconned the warp disruption towers and hit them first, until some war targets manned the guns so we gave the order to move out, and just before warp out one of the remaining 2 warp towers snagged a raven, and we all warped back in but by that time her shields were gone and her armor was taking hits. Sadly we lost the raven but we carried on with the next battery, once this was into 50 percent armor we had word of a falcon en route from our hauler pilot, time to use the ECCM im paranoid about using, i had just sent my warrior IIs to engage as i was the only one with the range who wasnt jammed, so i thought, when all of the sudden the falcon exploded like a fire cracker when a large white ray of light hit it, and then Postie started laughing in his own evil way..... she never knew what hit her

After much laughing and "pwnt" shouting, with no smack in local, we decided to hit the battery, this time focussing fire as time was running low for our rokh pilot who was also our shield logistics, now at the time the tower was at around 5% armor, our beloved CEO Kill14u requested for backup as a war target megathron flanked by a raven undocked and was proceding to pound into her Raven's Shields, i gave the order to align and to finish off the POS, quickly warping the fleet to Kill's location thereafter, "Megethron is Primary, Raven is Secondary" i blared down my mic as the adrenaline rush took over, i quickly locked down the Megathron and proceded to add my dual 650mm Repeater IIs i had just fitted the night before to the fray, needless to say with Barrage L and the rest of the gang unloading, it exploded in short order, with many GF in local, and a thanking for them to actually have the balls to fight, which is a rare occurence but respect to them nonetheless. Nice loot nonetheless, despite a bad fitting, from which came many curses from Boomer, who is an avid megathron pilot.

All of a sudden a Flagged player undocks and we proceed to annihilate it, however it turned out to be a newb who was looking for things and had taken from one of the cap booster cans, he only lost and impairor, and after telling him that hed get a new one when he docked and explaining what happened, we sent him on his was with our blessing.

Habigor had some fun sniping some War targets who were trying to rep the warp disruption batteries, however no kills as a random ECM module kept damming him.

A rather successfull night in my opinion, the Raven was fully insured and no financial loss was inflicted, as opposed to the 300mill loss to our targets.


There will be more to come, and the positive feedback from my first FC job means that i will be leading more fleets in the future.



stay tuned
