An unexpected fun weeknight roam!

Well first of all lets just say our little roam of about 24 destroyers started out rather mundane. We caught a few ships here and there, I think notable kills were two buzzards.
We were in venal which is one reason why yogita and I joined. During the week we are involved in mainly pvp. Weekends we devote time to fleets usually joining 5-6 fleets during the weekend.

What made this extra fun for me was that I had a full core gen set of implants in my head. So my escape pod was destroyed.....well then it is off to Jita to drop another 400 mill isk on another set. So the second half of the roam got really exciting when we encountered an out of sight gang (they live in venal). They brought drone boats Worms, a Gila or 2. Both fleets traded blows, our fleet was a bit smaller, and we could not reship so easily due to the fact that we were over 20 jumps from home.

I loved how the FC didn't just whine and say "oh there are too many lets burn back home". Instead it was balls to the wall! Yogita and I were doing quite well we avoided getting tackled. Got on some nice kills. But well the shit hit the fan as they say. Suddenly we in the thick of it. There was nothing to do but battle it out it. It was a brawl. Worms were dropping here and there, our own destroyers started exploding. Pods on both sides ended up expelling corpses into the deep freeze of space.

I knew our ticket would come up. And well it did. I got caught as I was trying to run away! They had no bubbler with them at the moment. He had an aggro timer because he dropped his bubble on the side of the gate. So as my armor was melting I do what I usually do when in an expensive pod. I ejected from my ship, and warped to the next. The guys who blew up ships laughed in local, but they told other fleet members, and they soon gave chase.

My core gen set helps even my pod hit warp a bit faster than a normal pod, so I was just zipping in and out of systems and I was able to get back safely.

Yogita had to take a slightly longer route. I think she got out safely as well err minus her ship. Only 3 or 4 ships made it out, our FC (fleet commander) burned out his propulsion module so he was basically a sitting duck and died a bit late into the fight.

So here is to hoping we get a nice weekend with nice pvp kills! CHEERS!
