Trying New Things

Finally the Crimson Harvest event is over, drop rates are again back at the usual 50% and EVE Rookies are doing their incursions again! 🎉

We’re always working hard on improving our performance, even with the ragtag group we’re flying. So yesterday’s plan was to send in Sasha’s Vargur in first to draw (and simply ignore) aggro and it worked quite well. In fact it worked so well that at one point Oli decided to see if a single Basilisk could provide enough repping power for a whole site. Short answer: yes. Oli slacked off for two sites and not a single problem was encountered; I even drew aggro at one point but Kshal’s Claymore’s repping power was more than sufficient to keep me well out of armor. Of course we will still always use two logi ships because you never know what might be happening and with this fleet composition it is simply safer that way but it is very good to know that in case of whatever emergency we will not immediately all die. 🙃

All in all, last night’s performance was quite stellar! We flew for a bit more than 2.5 hours and managed to get to almost 90M ISK per hour, completing multiple sites in only 4 minutes, slowest site being 7 minutes.

Due to prior engagements there’s not going to be a fleet on friday but if the focus stays up long enough we’ll fly again on sunday and I’m really looking forward to that!

In other news: I asked my little sister whether she wanted to fly with us as well and she said, “eh, why not?” She is completely untrained, though, so getting her up to speed might take a couple of months but I’m sure we can expect great things from Narraja! So proud! 😁
