When a fight ended in flames

We are still enjoying quite a lot our frigate-destroyer fleets, first because is fun and then because our new pilots can make a lot of experience in that. It's a simple doctrine: we try to kill as much as we can, focusing even on solo cruisers that are ratting or hanging around. We fight in low sec, inside plexes and at asteroid belts. Our main advantage is speed and agility and moving as a single pilot we can still add a good amount of dps. If things go wrong, we can still try to disengage.

Often we use a scout/tackler that will make the move first. The scout tackler is even the one that is more in danger because he has to tank enemies until the fleet will join the fight. Is all a matter of timing. The best thing that can happen is to survive with little hull left, this usually lead in a scream of joy for the scout-tackler and all the fleet. Then during the loot of the enemies cargo, usually all pilots comment and admire the flames emerged by the damaged, but still alive, scout ship.

After a fight.. scout-tackler Incursus (pilot Mark Yanning). Ship in flames. Some modules were overheated... :)
