Great class, fantastic roam! At last count, we blew up 55 ships today :) Will write more later, exhausted from all the pretty explosions, but wanted to go ahead and get the feedback thread up so ya'll can share the good, bad, and indifferent about yesterday and today! We love getting feedback, so share!

I enjoyed the course the instructors where great, I learned many new things...and we didn't get a smart bomb demo until the second night. Seriously being in the bait squad was interesting it gave me a perspective of how a fleet deals with 2 sides of a gate. :D I can't wait for the advanced.

Thanks to the scouts, skirmishers & bubblers as always. The fish were biting tonight. I don't think we did anything brilliant. The only thing missing was either an 'epic fight' or an 'epic kill' (though that one podmail somebody posted was almost-epic) but I'm happy to take several lopsided fights and/or ganks. My first time out in En-Yo Face! Fun little ship, though it doesn't corner quite as well as my old drammy. I thought all I'd have to do was approach and then cut the mwd and orbit 500, but I kept overshooting when I tried that (and then the mwd would be off and it would take what seemed an eternity to close distance again.) Gonna have to hit the brakes on approach, I think. Hope to see Maudite and Caldak teaming up again. They worked well together and it was good to know who the back-up caller would be.

The roam was a lot of fun, and as usual the Agony crew from FCs to Skirmishers to Dictor pilots were well organized. It's too bad that cruiser gang with logi support didn't take the fight; I always hope that we'll get a fight that will be tough on these roams. But, like AkJon said, ganking is fun too. :-) Thanks again.

I really enjoyed the class and deeply regret being unable to attend the roam. My first exposure to Maudite and I thought you were totally pro. My thanks to the Agony ppl who volunteer your time to make these classes work. A bunch of fluffy text in a feedback thread doesn't do justice for your awesomeness.

Once again I am impressed by the Agony team, the coordination between FC(s) (lucky us we had both Maudite & Caldek), GG, and Agony support pilots truly made the roam enjoyable. I look forward to continuing my pvp education in future Agony classes.

Take Maudite, GG and Caldak at the helms and a wonderful region like Syndicate, add the usual set of Agony skirmishers and bubblers who let us pick our fights... and you got the ingredients for a perfect plundering raid :D . Normally I prefer fleet support rather than dps for more action and less idling but this fleet was very busy even for the dps ships. Actually I was very grateful when I was podded at 6 am. In short: excellent roam!

Thanks everyone for coming! You students were a pleasure to fly with and did very well. A target rich environment provided the rest -- I count 55 "real" kills (not counting noob ships and pods) from the roam on the Agony KB. There are probably a few more that no Agony pilot was a part of. Hey, plus that Zealot with his 700 mil implants during the class! All in all it was a very fun time and I look forward to flying with you in the future.

I can only echo what has already been posted. Great roam, thank you to Maudite 9, Greygal and Caldak for the leadership, those Agony/Alumni pilots for skirmishing, baiting, bubbling and to all for making it such good fun.

I'm quite impressed with the students as well. Everyone had great comm discipline and followed orders nicely.

Also dont forget the kiting deimos pod with a full head of snakes. 1bil+ on that one.

Thanks for the class and roam. It was great. I'm impressed with the bait and gate jump tactics. Hope we get an archon next roam ;)

As in the Basic Class I was very happy I got up early to attend. I do love the roams and I will try and be back for more, especially because FCs took the time every now and then to explain why they did what they did. I enjoyed the class but I also feel the roam is where all the lessons of the day before are being reinforced and built upon. You guys are awesome and I really appreciate the time and effort going into both the class and the roam. I hope you can keep up the spirit and enthusiasm for these classes, you are making EVE a better place for me.

I had a great time in the roam, first class FC'ing, thanks to Maudite, GG, Caldack, Agony Skirmishers and Dictors. I really enjoyed the theory and especially the roam, you made it so easy to have fun! I really shows the time and quality you put into prepairing the courses...thanks again.

Great fun! Thanks to the Agony crew for organizing this. The podding at the end was the perfect finale saving several jumps just as the Sun (the Earth one) was coming out here. :-)

I wanted to specifically thank Maudite for being a calm and patient FC. This time I kept up nicely with the fleet and didn't get system locked, but others did, and Maudite took time and waited for them. If it had happened to me I would greatly appreciate it.

Another fantastic class and roam! This may say more about me than the class but... a few parts, I felt at first, went a little slow. We had seemed to spend a lot of time on bubbles and their alignment and sizes and only a little time actually trying to jump out of bubbles. HOWEVER, a few days after the class, someone asked a question in corp chat about bubbles, and I was surprised to realize I had the answer. And another answer after that! The day after that, I found myself in a null sec bubble and, for the very first time in my entire EVE career, I didn't panic; I looked at local, hit dscan to check for ships and additional bubbles, noted the ship types on my overview and even had the presence of mind to realize none of them could lock me fast enough. So I took an extra few seconds to mouse around me and look at which celestial I was closest in alignment to. And to top if off, I dragged names and typed in ship types to my corp's intel channel so others would know exactly what they were facing as well. I'm still a little shocked at myself, and terribly, terribly pleased. Not to mention grateful to Agony for the patient instruction which got all of that info sunk into my care-bear brain! As a little extra, unintended education, I also found out that some alliances frown on their members flying in null-sec "home region space" with a neut/red fleet. Oops.
