(leboe, wanna crosspost this to FHC? I can only do it from work)
Blob Kapelle on Blob Fridays blobs it up: Fleetcomp was command+tackle+4 logi+18 DPS (mostly drakes for once, but call was for Drakes/Pests/Tengus > Whatever other hangertrash was around. Say what you want about the gayness of drakefleet, it is relaxing to FC as you know you can just throw the thing into the fire... I lose a T3 fleet and people will be giving me shit for a month.
Anyways, fleet poked around Syndicate for the usual fights, but UNEW wasn't formed up, Flying Dangerously wasn't interested, and the gatecamping newguys in F67 had eyes in neighboring systems and ceded the gate to our suprior good looks. Which, frankly, is a pretty usual Syndicate USTZ. 30ish is too big for Syndicate, so we visit, then head out to Sovspace to get blobbed.
Todays menu called for Cloud Ring (Fountain and Pureblind just seem to take longer before we find fights). We looped around CR getting more than the normal amounts of derpy ganks, including
a hulk which aggressed our dram on station (Hats off to you, brave warrior prince). So, it's getting late, and xbox is whining like a bitch that we've been out too long, so v0v, I guess we'll visit fade later and just loop the CR loop, and kick FA or widot for a fight. XZH produced no plexers to kill, though for some reason no one can pin down, a HIC and a Drake choose to engage 2v30 (perhaps nobly buying time for the mob to form?).
Regardless, I've got 4 people telling me their marriages are soon to be on the line, so it's time to go home. But, we need to peek into G8 on the way home, just to see if there are ratting carriers or some similar insanity... it's practically on the way.

Fleet is in warp to G8 gate, Scout jumps and reports local at 50 with a fleet on gate, numbers given as approx 30 on gate with more warping in, drakes, scorps, and scimi's. They jump to us as we land on gate.
Excellent. Because I am a great space commander I choose to split their fleet, hoping to leave 30 on the 9-4 side, and get a a few precious seconds alone with the expected 10-15 on the G8AD side. So, polishing my monacle, I order fleet to lock up the world, and call redboxes. They aggress, and fleet is ordered to jump and reapproach, upon which I find out that in fact, they had ALL jumped into 94, and my tactical brilliance was wasted- luckily, my husky voice still makes the ladies swoon.
Still, Heerrrrrp. (*)
OK, Bubble up, drones out, Logi to range, and it's time to pray that they will come defend their honor! And Lo, local screams up and it's go time!
Called Scorps first, ordering drones on Scimi's, and primaries were dropping, so I ignored my whinging logi pilots and kept going through primaries, moving towards their T2 support and anyone else I could find who was standing still rather than pulling some kind of range.about 2 minutes in, and they start bailing off the gate, so we catch what we can, and clean up.
Was a nice one, honestly, as widot has been sticking a bit of boot in our ass lately, and destroyed Leboe's precious Ferrox Fleet, which he is convinced will be the next FOTsomething.
So, gf gf, widot, we'll see you again soon no doubt.
Special award for the worst fit goes to this gentleman. I don't even.
(I promised Grarr I'd get him a BR for the syndicate thread 2 weeks ago, and it took me this long to get a fight where I didn't look like a complete dousche.

(*) this was actually only the second dumbest thing I did today, as earlier I was screaming about a 50 man gang in our homesystem in intel channels when in fact, I was logging into highsec. o\
