Operation Banahǫgg Spá After Action Report
2014-12-12 | 06:28

 

Overview, Goals and Objectives:

• Was out roaming with the Rifter in the Low-Sec Systems of Molden Heath looking for trouble.
• Had some fun messing around with some guys playing station games.
• Came across a Merlin near the Ennur Gate in Skarkon as I was returning to station and went for it.

Analysis of outcomes:

• Crea Reynolds was in a Merlin about 30km off the Gate when I jumped through. I held cloak for a few seconds to see what he was going to do.
• He didn’t warp so I hit approach and locked him up, he didn’t respond right away but after a couple of seconds he yellow boxed me.
• After he yellow boxed me I cycled my prop mod once and closed distance quickly to get a tight 500m orbit, still holding off on gun fire.
• I think between the fast distance closing and him being locked by me he may have spooked a bit and he engaged first.
• I webbed, scrammed and started applying DPS and with the help of the Gate guns his Merlin exploded super fast.
• Managed to scram, web and pop his Pod too. Not sure if this was a lucky grab or if maybe he was a little shook after losing his Merlin?
• Target of opportunity – ran across Yracka Nostijo in his Cyno Imicus just off a station in Tabbetzur, I took a little Station gun attention but his ship popped quickly.

Conclusion/Summary and Post Action Thoughts:

• Gate guns are your friend – getting your opponent to engage first is a solid tactic.
• 1v1 against another Frigate was a good test but not fully fair with the Gate gun help.
