I have been busy lately so I was pleasantly surprised on Monday when I logged on to find that I was in a fleet of 12, mainly MNEE pilots with a scattering of Caldari Incorporated. Everyone was 1 system over either shooting sleepers or mining a core deposit.
Slayfoe’s job was to take the catalyst and clean up after the shooters while Carraig shot away at a Jaspet rock, 2 full cans of Jaspet later and the hauler announced a teeny problem, the WH was on it’s last legs.
At this point there are 3 Hulks, a Retriever, an Iteron V, Slay in a Catalyst and a pile of battleships. It is patently clear that not everyone is going to get home. Naturally it happened at the end of the evening when everyone on this side of the pond wants to get to bed.
In a very disciplined manner the miners were packed off home leaving combat pilots sitting in their BS waiting for rescue. Drifnir, being an active guy headed off through a low sec WH (that was too small for the BS to pass through) to get himself a scanning ship. While in known space fitting this out he gets an Evemail announcing the death of his ship. Amazing how good the post office is at finding it’s way out of WH space...
Lessons learnt: never leave a shiny ship alone, someone will take advantage. What we couldn’t understand is why someone blew it up rather then steal it, it was about 300million worth of ship.
