After docking up in Dormitory, WHC members reshipped into Harvester ships and we took a quick bio. When folks got back, we undocked and headed to Bacon, our C3 static that we harvest in, to run some combat sites. It was great seeing the UniBlob just decimate the sleepers! Nothing exciting, other than we got reports that there were a couple of Nestors and Leshaks in a C5 running combat sites! Next on to the PVP side of things!
We headed back to Innu to reship into our Light Armor doctrine with Vexor support to try and catch the C5 folks, unfortunately when we jumped in our bubblers, they saw us and docked up. We thought that we weren't going to get any action until Conci informed us that they undocked 2 Nestors, 4 Leshaks and a Brutix Navy Issue, and warped to the hole we were sitting on the other side of! They jumped into us and we had a good fight, they focused our Logi and we couldn't hold or break one of the Nestors. We got one of them to half armor before reps started landing. We lost all of our logi so we called for people to jump the hole, which started the real fun, we managed to crit the hole with our fleet on their side of the hole and their fleet on our side of the hole. There was no way we could jump either fleet back before the hole collapsed so we gave GFs and started to find our way home. Thankfully we had a T3C and bubbler with probes, we started scanning down the wormholes and managed to find a lowsec connection only 8 jumps from Amy! Unfortunately, just as the fleet landed and one of our bubblers jumped, the hole collapsed due to being End of Life! That was the second hole that we had gotten rolled out of during the night, but such is wormhole life, and everybody took it in stride. We managed to find a hisec connection, but it was 25 jumps to Amy, so we started our long trip home. Mostly uneventful, saw some WTs in local but nobody bothered us, and we got back in time for a QRF and the structure bash that was forming.

All in all, it was a great night! Looking at the Kills and Losses it looked like a pretty uneven fight, which it was, but everybody had fun. The folks visiting for NNitH made ~40mil ISK each for the harvesting and we only lost one Vexor and an Aug from the visitors. The event went smoothly and we got to experience both PVE and PVP in wormhole space, so I'm very pleased with the event and we will be looking at hosting these monthly at different times for others to enjoy.
Overall evaluation
Positive Stuff
- Formup was super fast and Mike Kingswell dropped by to give me a few Vexors to hand out
- WHC members were a huge help with rolling both Bacon and Eggs, scouting, and generally making everybody feel welcome!
- Everybody was great listening to commands and thanks to those that helped by broadcasting Aligns and Jumps, etc
- We took a fight that was way above our fleet comp, even though we outnumbered them, we just couldn't break the Nestors
- Using BLAP Vexors worked great for Harvesting and PVP, which made the event more accessible and less time spent reshipping
- Was my first fleet as FC and things went better than I hoped
- Visitors got the full wormhole experience, they say you can't be a true wormholer until you have been rolled out!
Learnings
- We didn't get to blow up Mike Kingswell
- Remember to confirm with FCs that offered to help run the PVP roam, thankfully our Illustrious Leader Conci Furiram saved the day
- I should've checked in with the Logistics department to make sure there were both T1 and T2 BLAP Vexors on contract in Amy, but Mikey saved us
- I had planned on rolling Eggs the night before but we had a connection that was 4 jumps to Jita, I made the decision to roll 2hrs before the event (which meant waking up at 6am local time), this was probably the biggest mistake as by the end of 6hrs I was exhausted.
