My first fleet! I wanted to do something during this no SOP month, so I trained up the recommended skills recommended for a basic PvP Incursus tackler as given [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Gallente_Basic_Ship_and_Skill_Guide here]. I got an outfitted ship from the Uni hangar, listened to the archive of the Fleets 101 class, and joined up for the next fleet when I had some free time. I needed a lot of hand-holding, but everyone was really helpful and I didn't seem to be too much of a boat anchor to my squad.

We left Aldrat in search of war targets, eventually found some a couple jumps away and tried to engage. I immediately learned about docking games. Frustrated by the lack of combat we moved on to a a collection of battleships in the next system over and I got to see my first PvP combat! I was pretty overwhelmed by what was going on, but I did manage to get in range and tackle one of the battleships. I got my point and web on, lit up my guns, and orbited happily. No one seemed to take any interest in my tackler so at that point I just tried to get an idea of what was going on. Unfortunately, the battle was not going well as they had a lot of out-of-corp remote repairers keeping the battleship alive. After we had lost a few of our larger ships a scatter was called and I got away safely.

There was some time spent bouncing around the system, then reforming and I learned about a rolling safe and how to make bookmarks mid-warp. We made our way back to Aldrat and I docked. All in all, a reasonably unsuccessful fleet; we lost six ships (4 BC, 1 C, 1 D) and they lost none. However, it was great for me as I came out of it feeling confident that I could perform a basic tackling role in fleet. I learned a lot and I'm no longer apprehensive about joining a fleet. Looking forward to my next opportunity; hopefully next time I'll get to be part of a kill!
