AAR: Pissed on by Disavowed.

I think I need to stop commanding our fleets for a bit, I seem to get everyone killed lately.

So, Disavowed is in the chain, originating from a C6 at the very end of the chain. We have had some good fights with them in the past, and based on past experiences we expect them to bring a 15-20 man gang. We can't match the numbers, so we ask for help from Task Force Proteus to bring DPS and ECM, while we cover the Logistics and neuts.

We form up with three Guardians, two neut Legions, Armageddon, and a Stratios for a scout. TFP brings assorted DPS and a Falcon with four Amarr racial jammers. We warp our fleet onto a C5 connection within a C5 wormhole with a Cataclysmic Variable effect, so our logistics would be repairing significantly more than they normally would, but theirs would as well. We wait for them to form up, our Stratios reports 4 Guardians, 2 Jamgus, and various Legions and Proteus for DPS.

Now, at this point my first thought is bail, we can't break 4 Guardians with nothing but 3 neut ships and a Falcon, but I think it would have been a waste of TFP's time to come this way for nothing, and 4 Guardians to our three, and we have more neuts than them. It seems reasonable, and I decided to take the fight. I respect everyone of us who got involved for risking everything that they did. I just wish it could have ended with at least one kill.

We prime their first Guardian in and spread neuts and jams across their other Guardians. In return they prime our Armageddon and spread jams across our Guardians, two of which are instantly jammed, which instantly spells trouble, but we are bubbled and committed by now. We see their Guardian start falling in armor, but it goes up a bit, then it falls, then back up. Clearly feeling pressure from our neuts because they cannot run their repairs all the time because of the pressure on their capacitor. But we are lacking in repairs to keep our ships alive, so they switch to one of our Guardians, quickly disposing of it since the others were jammed. A second Guardian of ours falls, and the third has to run away.

Now we have to run, with no Logistics we cannot keep our fleet alive long enough to wear down their own Logistics. We have been out jammed and out logisticed (is that a word?). Everyone burns as best as possible, we lose ships, pods, but we were not surprised, everyone went in expecting it.

Terrible choice of a fight, many things could have helped, but as I always say after a fight: good fight, good learning experience.
