Some days ago the corp management gave us a little reminder to show more presence in the PvP block we belong to. Fortunately, the next event asked for assault frigs which was in my estimated risk-to-lose range. So I came to my longest null sec run since I started playing (the only other and rather short was this one). With a fleet of about 30 ships (mostly assault frigs and interceptors) we flew a big circle through Greater Wildlands, grinding sec status. So PvP was more a secondary goal of the day. All went smooth until around 3/4 of the journey. At this time we ran into a well organised group of 4 or 5 ships who effectively decimated our frigs. I lost about 25 million ISK (equiv. 2-3 hours running Lvl 4 missions) and even reached safe space unpodded. Obviously, I’m still a carebear but one who knows some real bears ;)
