Take that you scum!

While running a mission for the Servant Sisters of EVE a while back, a fellow corp member had his MTU shot away.  He pondered, and then went after the Ishtar that had deprived him of his loot bucket.
Although he had the wrong ammo for shooting a Gallente boat, he had the Ishtar well into structure before his PVE fit Golem had to retreat.

It would have been nicer if he could have destroyed the Ishtar for that scum, but leaving him with a hefty repair bill had to do.

Meanwhile, the corp members are scattered across New Eden running level 4 security missions for the various factions, and selling the salvage and loot to bolster their personal wallets.

We're also pondering the mess that is ISIS.  I mean, seriously…  Just because a Golem has a target painter bonus - is that any reason that you shouldn't train those same target painter enhancement skills for ANY ship that you could put a target painter on?  Sure, they're more effective when the ship has a bonus, but why can't I get ISIS to tell me that to get the best out of a target painter on ANY ship, that I should train… hmm, perhaps CCP should be told that people don't fit target painters to only ships that have target painting bonuses?  You think they might not know that???  ;)

And the grand experiment is over - for now

We pulled up stakes and left w-space in the past few days.  The C2 our alliance was sharing with another group was just not enough to sustain us all.  We were not doing any PI, that's probably why we weren't making any isk - and the agreement with the other alliance was that we wouldn't (as they were afraid that the planets wouldn't support us all) do PI.

The anomalies just were not plentiful enough and nanoribbons just do not drop frequently enough.  Being camped by mercs for the Christmas break was the last straw and it was decided that we'll pull out before we actually lose something of value.

So, we're back in k-space.  Gone in different directions, running things out of stations instead of a POS, doing lvl4 missions for various factions to re-build the personal wallets.  Waiting for CCP to release the next great thing (well... as soon as we recover from rogue MTUs that kill their owners).
