Just came back to Eve after about 5 years off. Jumped off into 0.6 with my Venture after about a 10M ISK exploration run in the same system. Hit a random belt to mine…oh hey, only 2 NPC rats, no problem. Blow the first one away in about 2 seconds, engage #2 and then start looking for a good asteroid. Next thing I know (about 5 seconds later) I’m in my pod. What did I learn? If the NPC’s name contains the word “Agent”, run away! ---
