The Clash

ECN was out plexing when the call came in from Aideron Robotics to form a Heydieles Assault Fleet (HAF). So some of our pilots stopped plexing and joined the fleet. The HAF started out as a Frig/Desy roam but soon escalated to an all out cruiser roam with armor logistics. Intel came in that the Caldari had a fleet made up of battle cruisers and logistics sitting on the Oinasiken gate in Abune.

 Our fleet had formed up in Nisuwa and had position itself on the Abune gate in Oinasiken.

The order was giving to jump and hold cloak. As we held cloak the FC explained to us what he wanted us to do: logi would burn out to optimal, drone boats would launch drones and everyone would primary the Curse, secondary was the Oracle, and tertiary were the Exequrors, then the Brutix and the 2 Harbingers. Then the FC started his count down "5, 4, 3, 2, 1 UNCLOAKED! Primary is Isiah in the Curse!  ... Isiah in the Curse"
The battle raged for about 9 minutes our logistics did an outstanding job. We only lost 2 ships, a frig and a cruiser. We destroyed the enemy fleet. All in all it was an extremely fun fight and "good fights" were posted in local.

Here's an idea that occurred to me as I was hitting golf balls this morning. The downside of using a Merlin as the Anvil is that if it gets "energy neutralized" the guns stop shooting. So I thought about using the Breacher with rocket launchers instead. The down side is that we lose a little DPS but the up side is that rockets keeping shooting and applying DPS even if it's neutralized. Technically it's less DPS but in reality its more as the rockets keep shooting. Another advantage is that my rockets go further: < 7.3 with rage and < 13.2 with Javelin.  Here are 2 screen shots showing Patoyous as pilot and Matador34 providing boost and the reversed:

Pat is pilot and Mat is providing boost - Pat's DPS and Lock Times are much better than Mat's.

Mat is pilot and Pat is providing boosts.

Let me know what you think. Chow...

Caracal Anti-Frig AAR

E.C.N CEO Matador34 was flying in a fleet last night that was doing de-plexing in Heydieles and the surrounding solar systems Abune and Indregulle. They engaged a fleet of six Caracals in a medium complex. Matador34's friendly fleet consisted of about 15 ships - mostly frigs and a few destroyers. The Caracals appeared on short scan and soon after warped inside the plex. Since they decided to take the fight - even though they were outnumbered and the friendly fleet was mostly frigs and desys - it was obvious that they would be "Anti-Frig" fit. The battle went well for the friendly fleet and they downed 5 of the 6 Caracals. The point of this AAR is not to document the battle but to illustrate the fit the Caracals were flying. I used the kill board information from the lost Caracals and EFT. I then set all skills to lvl 5 - which is highly unlikely that all the Caracal pilots were LVL5 but I wanted to see the ships capabilities. Here are the results:

Figure 1: Showing the Caracal using Scourge Fury Light Missiles.

Figure 1 shows that using Scourge Fury Light Missiles (SFLM) would have a volley of 1008 and then a DPS of 298. The range is <47.5km. If they use Caldari Navy Scourge Light (CNSL) missiles then this would be the result:

Figure 2: Showing the Caracal using CNSL missiles.

Notice the range drastically increases but at the cost of DPS. This explains why they were unable to hit Matador34. Matador34 was in a sniper Talwar and was able to hit from 71km. All he had to do was stay outside of the Caracals CNSL range (< 63.3) and rely on fleet tackle to keep the Caracals from warping away and blast away on the Caracals.
