Made a new meme about our most dedicated WH miner 
So today was a tale of tragedy and loss, but also one of hope.
Saturday after the OP some of our veteran pilots found a C4 WH that they really liked, and several of us pitched in 1b isk so that we could put a Space Station down and try to upgrade into a more difficult hole.
We managed to get our Deep Space Transports safely to the hole, and setup the Astrahaus along with a POS. All was going well. We were able to defend the 15 min vulnerability and get it into invulnerable 24 hour onlining status.
We all went to bed with sweet visions of owning our own station dancing in our heads.
The next day, we woke up, logged on, and began bashing down all of the 8 Player Owned Customs Offices we found in the system. We also took down a POS that we came across. We managed to take out the POS and put all 8 Customs offices into reinforcement. We made plans to have an op for when they came out of reinforcement.
A took a nap and prepared to wake up for the station onlining ceremony. I woke up 45 min prior to the station coming online to a PM from someone I didnāt know.
I find it a bit cowardly to pay ransoms so I closed the PM and ignored it, hoping that they were not very strong, or perhaps bluffing.
We rallied the corp fleet together, and did our best to role the holes in our system. Our Megathron pilot managed to role the C4 entrance, but almost died to two leshaks and a Heretic trying to catch him. He managed to get away though. The 3 enemy pilots waited outside the C3 static to ensure we could not role it and waited for our station to come invulnerable. Once more they offered us ransom this time in local chat.
We continued to ignore the ransom request. After all, they had only 3 pilots, and we had a couple T3cs, a Leshak, a Drake, and a Rattlesnake. We thought we could give em a fight.
Our drake pilot tried to jump in from the C3, but was killed by the rest of their pilots waiting on the far side. When the station came invulnerable they put up warp bubbles around it. One of our pilots hopped in his Deep Space Transport, dodged the warp bubble, and managed to dock to the station and put the core in.
But the enemy had too many ships. They had 3 leshaks, an Armageddon, and some smaller stuff. I did my best to try to stall them by hopping in my stealth bomber and dropping a break lock bomb on them, but I got blown up. The station also died, along with our Deep Space Transport pilot.
But the fight wasnāt over yet. We had friends who were coming to help us, and they were only a few minutes away.
About two minutes after the station blew up, a corp of āHole Controlā alliance showed up, and started jumping in ships. A small battle ensued on the C3 WH entrance.
Our friends were scattered though, and were unable to break the Leshak tank. They decided to pull out of the fight before they took too many losses.
The attacking corp thanked us for the fight and told us we could keep the wrecks. They did take the station core though.
In the end, our corp lost about 3 billion worth of ISK on the whole affair. Hole Control lost 2.5b trying to defend us.
We are really touched that Hole Control showed up with a fleet to defend us. They were a little late, and were unable to save the station, but itās still really moving none-the-less that they even cared to save this little noob corp that we are. I hope that our corp can grow stronger, and perhaps join Hole Control some day.
The Kingdom of Bretonia will return to our C2 WH and lick our wounds, and continue to grow stronger. Hole Control has agreed to help us defend the station next time we try to anchor one, so we can be a bit more safe that time around. I do personally feel like we were not yet ready to face the tough players who roam C4 space, so I do feel a tad bit relieved to be returning to the comforts of our cozy c2.
I think itās these kind of stories of tragedy and triumph (for them) that make Eve great. Iām glad we could have this experience even if we did lose some ISK along the way. Next time we will be stronger for it.
Thanks for reading everyone!

Hi everyone, we are now at 135 pilots. We need more! Please sign up today
Bump!
Hi Everyone. We are at 144 pilots. Would love to have more wormholers join us Apply or reach out by mail!
Woop woop! Awesome read!
Donāt really want to write this like this butā¦ Should have paid that ransom! 
Used to live in a wormhole for a long time so iāve been wondering how youāre managing all that hassle only via typing? Also iām interested: did you guys consider to keep hole control up for the anchoring timers?
Wormhole culture really is something different. Love it.
Like them letting you get the loot from the structure. Many groups or FCs out there keep their word and have the reputation of actually accepting ransom ISKies and leaving without scam scam shenanigans.
Good stuff. Keep it up!

Iād rather be known as the corp who does not pay ransoms lol
If they want to rob us, they will have to fight us for it, even if we are noobs!

Yeah! I would not have paid it either haha.
Do you have a public channel in-game by any change or Discord to come and hang out?
Public discord is Kingdom of Bretonia
Bump! We are at 145 pilots
Thread will reopen in 48 hours.
This topic was automatically opened after 2 days.
@ISD_Drew what if I bump a thread, and after bumping someone asks a question? Should I wait until the next day to respond?
I didnāt think my ābumpā was really twice since my previous ābumpā was 24 hours prior, and between those two bumps I was just answering questions. I think your rules could be more clear on that issue.
Hey there, Just getting back into eve and havenāt really touched wh life other then for looking for targets in my bomber so iād be nice to venture out if you guys would be willing to have me. Im NA time but work nights so I might as well be EU time most days if that works

So yesterday (Sunday) we ran our first corp & friends black ops fleet.
We had about 15 people join, and hunted Low security space to get into the habit of using jump bridge.
We also managed to take out 5 battle-ventures who were attacking one of our cyno-haulers.
Was really fun and I hope we can run this same fleet every Sunday. So if you are a stealth bomber pilot, def consider joining us. I think in the future we will hunt in NS space becasue LS is full of faction warfare and activation gates
Bump!
