My first mining fleet.  I somehow managed to sit through 8 hours of mining.  Someone posted a bookmark for a grav site with lots of kernite in it so I formed a small fleet and we went out and started clearing the kernite.  About 45 minutes into this, the one and only wartarget of the university showed up in system and started harassing people.  So we docked up for about an hour and waited him out.  Then back to kernite.  More people joined.  Eventually, the grav site was cleared and we moved on to one of the system belts and mined it clear.  At the end, we had something like 5 hulks and 3 orcas and a few retrievers. After 8 hours, I quite and let someone else take over the op.

Joined a low-sec roam fleet with 33 pilots right at the end of the no-WSOP month.  Tried to catch a faction BS that was missioning, but he warped off just before we got there.  We wandered around for a long time looking for targets, finally ended up sitting around in a system for so long that a hostile corp found us and engaged at long range with a T3/faction sniper fleet.  When the FC called a primary, I turned on my micro-warpdrive and hauled towards tackling range... and was [http://killboard.eveuniversity.org/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=9955 promptly destroyed].  Total Leeeeeeroy Jenkins moment.  Saikal said, "that tackler of ours that got killed... had balls of steel."  So I guess that's something.  I spent the rest of the 21 minute battle bouncing.  In all, we killed one drake and they killed about 20 of our ships.  It was a slaughter.  And because I was essentially absent for the entire battle, I didn't get to learn much.  I am happy that I was able to save my pod, though.

Immediately after the Mining 101 course I attended, the teacher put together a "Mining Under Fire" fleet to go do some mining in hostile conditions.  However, the No-WSOP month wardecs were all basically gone, so there weren't any WT's around to harass us.  So our very handy escort fleet managed to find a wormhole and we went through that, found a grav site, mined the crap out of it until all our haulers were full and each of our cargoholds were full, podded some guy who showed up randomly just as we left, and went home.  We made off with several thousand units of the most expensive ore in the game, which we will be splitting the profits from.  It was my first time in a wormhole, first time with rare ores, and a lot of fun.  Good group.  No killmails.  I probably have an unrealistically easy view of WH space now...

Joined back into the still-going defensive aldrat fleet that had started for the POS repair.  For the duration it was just a camp on the gate, and for the most part nothing happened... until a corp brought a reasonable force of mostly battlecruisers and a couple battleships in through a wormhole behind us (!!).  At least one of the battleships was smartbombing, which was a new experience for me.  I died with great gusto after pointing the offender.  He proceeded to pod me.

There was some time spent bouncing around the system, then reforming and I learned about a rolling safe and how to make bookmarks mid-warp.  We made our way back to Aldrat and I docked.    All in all, a reasonably unsuccessful fleet; we lost six ships (4 BC, 1 C, 1 D) and they lost none.  However, it was great for me as I came out of it feeling confident that I could perform a basic tackling role in fleet.  I learned a lot and I'm no longer apprehensive about joining a fleet.  Looking forward to my next opportunity; hopefully next time I'll get to be part of a kill!

= Notes to self, next time through the SoE epic arc =
* Store salvage and loot at Arnon until "It's Not Over Yet" (the end of Chapter 4), which takes you to Hek.  Haul a full load to Hek and leave it there (or side-trip it to Aldrat).
* At the end of Chapter 7, the long 23 jump haul back to Arnon brings you back through Hek; drop off all the chapter 6 and 7 loot/salvage at Hek as you pass through.
 
* Drones are sufficient for all combat; fill high slots with salvagers and tractors.
* Bring along some cargo expander IIs for the long hauls, but you'll need a tank for a couple of the combat missions.
