I helped a friend who just joined our corp move a ship down into null sec space. We flew through about 19 systems of low/null sec and didn't run into anything. Alright I thought, this should be a good night.
We started off his move with some ratting. He in a stabber, me in a Drake. First encounter went well, after we got them aggro'ed on me instead of the stabber. I am amazed at how much damage the drake can take with passive shields. 30 minutes later a corp mates says he is being agressed by a neutral in our system at our station. We disengage the pirate and warp back to the station. Noticing my shields are at 50% I dock up for a quick fix. Undocking, I begin looking around. The Neutral is still there in his Vaga, so I watch him for a bit with the camera on him. Did I notice my crew screaming at me that the Drake was still moving away from the station...nope..
Soon enough I realize I am too far out. 3 more neutrals dropped in and targeted me. Warp scrambed, drones swarming around me, the drake is getting slammed with missiles and shells. The Promethean, my ships name, withstood for a bit but was overwhelmed and popped. Quickly hitting the warp button, I went hurtling toward the nearest stargate.
Yes yes...I'm a noob and admit it.
Word of advice; If your popping out to see whats going on, tell your crew to stop the ship.
