18/06 – 24/06 2009

Administrative

Verona was the first to display what later came to be known as the “omg_I_need_highsec_now” symptom of long-term wormhole colonization. He took a 40+ jumps from the 0.0 into highsec to go and build an Iskur to replace the one lost last week. He made it and the myth of flying from 0.0 to highsec was broken! Nictutu followed the next day… Both came back a couple of days later displaying the “I_don’t_like_stations_anymore” syndrome known to affect wormholeers after long-term wormhole colonization

Brahmas joins us inside Planet Risk

Luminus brought in an Eos

Setup a third corp hangar array and place an order for a Large POS and an Intensive Refinery

PVE

Assessed that with a 6 RR BS and an assault frig we might be able to try Core Fortresses as well.

Assessed that the teamwork level and the team’s reflexes are in very good shape. Spider tahnking went smoothly. Focus fire was followed to the best of the team’s abilities. Fast target switches occurred when needed. Small problems that need working on were spotted on miss-targeting our own fleet, and the occasional ship straying out of range from the core.

PVP

We almost killed a Ferox inside Planet Risk and an Ishtar after our first bubble camp attempt in 0.0. major laughs but no killmail.

Lessons Learned

Tried to collapse the nearby N062 wormhole.. it was obvious that the maximum mass allowed was more than advertised and displayed in Wormhole Thingie.

Assessed that even with 4-5 Target Painters the Wolf Rayet anomaly reduces the signature radius so much that it renders PVE Sleeper engagements boring. Better avoid long encounters and focus on mineral and gas resources in the future for Wolf Rayet systems.

Giant Secure Containers, once anchored need to be opened at least once every month or they will disappear

Other

We established an alt in a Class 6 we found, fully equipped with probes etc so he could bring us inside when we want to. The system is just amazingly beautiful and could be our next step in wormhole colonization or we could sell it and the way to reach it to anyone who is interested. Ping us in game if you are into class 6 colonization

Income

Just the very last day before paycheck was due a highsec opens up at last and we get to haul everything to jita and sell. After 1 month in Planet Risk we made over 5 Billion ISK.. nuff said!
