First-Time FC'ing-DIAF Fleet!

So since my last blog, Pen Island has moved to Ami. Nice system with a few local pirate gangs for us to fight with. Have spent the last few days bringing ships in and setting up safe spots etc, general housekeeping. So decided the other day to organise a roam and offer to FC for the first time!

Chose T1 cruisers as our weapons of choice, fleet members were free to fit them as they wished. Picked cruisers as they are cheap to buy and fit, just in case we lost them! We departed at 8pm (on time!) from Ami.
Fleet comp below:
Ollie Khan - Rupture
8agpuss- Rupture
IRTEHAZN- Rupture
Sarah xClalibre- Bellicose
Masozi Uduak- Blackbird
FLORIAN HUTTER- Exequror (logi)
Trenny Jr- Exequror (logi)
Mail Lite showed up at the last minute without a cruiser so came along in his Dram, the only ship he had in Ami.

Destination was set for New Eden and we all formed around the Fensi gate and sent Mail off to scout the next system. Nothing in that system so we kept going for a few jumps until we got a message from Mail in Fleet Chat:
[20:32:16] Mail Lite > Having stomache issues, need to run at moments notice so not coming along
Epic lulz on comms, some bashing and a title change were had!
Then sent 8ags off to scout. Couple of jumps ahead, he found a Drake on a gate. We all jumped in and put some damage on it, aware that it was most likely a tarp, we were all aligned out to the sun, ready to warp when the tarp arrived.

Got the Drake into low armor, and lo and behold, his friends from Chain of Chaos show up in 4 BCs. I call everyone to overheat guns and prepare to warp out. Managed to kill off the Drake, but lost Florian and Sarah in the process. Killmail

Once the rest of us got out, we all made safes in the system and hung around to decide what to do next. IRTEHAZN decided he wanted to go to the pub, so offered his Ruppy to Sarah, who took it. Whilst all this was happening, I must have been a little lax on hitting the scan button, and they must have had a fast prober, because I was probed down and before I knew it, I had 2 Canes, a Harbinger and a Drake on top of me! Tried burning away but I went down in a ball of flames!

Managed to get my pod out and headed back to Ami, with 8agpuss taking charge of the fleet.

So all in all, the roam wasnt massively successful, but still had a good laugh.
Planning another next week, watch this space!
