An expensive lesson

While this happened a while ago, It hasn't been published before.  :)

So last night I was online with Lanvarok and Gerond.  Gerond only had 1 account in the hole, and he was on Static Watch.  Lanvarok and I decided we'd go and 2 man a combat site.  Lan was in his Legion.  I was in my Talos.  My skills were just about the bare minimum to fit it with large guns.  I can't fly a Battleship yet.  My resists aren't great, but I'm running a Microwarp Drive so hopefully I can kite this stuff.

Moving Into a Wormhole

OK so we've been in a wormhole for a while, and have decided to move in.  We now have a base.  All of the modules that made it into the wormhole have been deployed and are online. Only 3 or the base defence turrets actually have ammo loaded into them though. (Railguns (hybrid turrets) have 6400 Large ammo each). There was 32k of Large rounds that made it to the base.

A Wormhole last night.

So last night Gerond found a wormhole 1 jump from our Manufacturing Station. Turned out to be a Class 3 wormhole that appeared to be devoid of settlement.

Gerond did an initial scout of the system in his Manticore. I think there were about 4 Unidentified Cosmic Signatures.

I joined him with my Thorax (Cruiser).  This was the second time I was going into a Wormhole.  I had been in another one earlier in the week, but I was too scared as I didn’t have T2 frigate skills let alone Cloak IV for Covert Ops cloaking yet.  It was still intense.

Ice Mining with a Hauler

So with the majority of the Corp being noobs, our Corp nights have started out as mining runs.  Lanvarok has been playing for ages with multiple accounts, so he has an Orca pilot with mining bonuses.  The plan has been to Mine stuff and produce our own ships.  Gerond has been playing for a few months longer than me and has spent time learning some Manufacturing.  Most of us have learned the skills for fitting out a mining barge now, so they are the standard mining ship.  All Retrievers at this stage.
