AAR: Sparring with Marmite

First day in a new alliance! First things first, get the shit talk on comms out of the way.

After that, fleet up for... high sec war targets? Yeah.. sure.. why not..

We fit up some shield ships with two Basilisks and my alt's Scimitar for Logistics with primarily Ishtars and Drakes for DPS. We march off to Uedama to kick down Marmite's front door, or at least try to.

After a bit of scouting and fooling around we snag a Thorax and Talos jumping through a gate, good old classic gate camping. We try to bait them out and/or off their home station in Uedama, but they won't have it, even after one of our Drakes engages for up to a full three minutes. They do not shoot back at all. Finally, after much boredom, we just land the whole fleet on them and force them to dock, and now we wait.

And wait..

We are getting a bit bored, but very wary of possible neutral alts of theirs watching us. Two Guardians warp in, not war targets, but it is strange to see a pair of Guardians in high sec with no fleet around them and not near an incursion. We guess this is their neutral Logistics, so the fleet moves closer to them to lay down as much DPS as quickly as possible when they become shootable. Sure enough, a Loki undocks and we shoot it, then the whole fleet undocks: Megathrons, Dominixes, Armageddons, and some Protei. We stay to fight.

Their DPS is formidable, making me and my fellow Logistics pilots have a hell of a hard time keeping our fleet alive. We lose a few. a Zealot first, then a Hurricane, but we have DPS as well, and their Guardian pilots get nearly alpha'd off the field, both the neutral alts and the third one that undocked. We are losing more, and they are starting to burn out to our logistics, we have to bail now.

It was a good fight, although I dislike the mechanics of high sec that made it happen (me no like station games). Regardless though, we got a fight in the end and it was fun, that's all that matters.
