As the title states, I tried to help someone do a level 4 mission which I knew about.
The Angel Extravaganza Level 4 mission.

It has a 5 pockets which we completed without dying.
I got the Angel Diamond Tag required to get to the Bonus Room which is after the mission.
I didn't go in, since there were delays and I had also lost a Gecko worth 17m ISK+.
This happened as I forgot to recall the drones to bay before taking an accelaration gate.

I had other pilots salvaging and I also forgot to take the Gecko with it.
Then another pilot entered the mission and started to salvage (+ take abandoned drones).

I received 23m or so from the player, and most of the loot.
I also got a 3% Hardwiring item ...

I almost lost a MTU there as the mission runner removed my 3 pilots from the fleet.
(Domi, Stealth Bomber and Repping Burst with salvage...)


That's not all.
2.
I then went on a roam only to lose that Bomber after forgetting to warp away by one second.
It caused me to get scrambled and blown up.
I was lucky not to lose the pod with 3 Basic Implants and possible hardwiring.

To the FC , if you read this, there is no way I go back with my learning implants without JC.

Total loss for the day were , before the 23-27m donation (as per deal) 60m+ time.
I had enough to get 2 PLEX with that money.
Now, I got one only, which is still around 800m though.
1.6b ISK would have been better and I'll know better next week.
That will allow me to get a Bazaar character faster and more efficiently than training .

(60m ISK loss minus the insurance.)

I see a lot of: "I forgot X"

Do try some sleep, some time.

Life is short and dinner time is chancy

Gratz on helping the player complete the mission.

As for the roam, always, absolutely, expect to lose your ship. If you don't lose your ship, then it was a great roam. If you do lose your ship and get away with your pod, then it was a good roam. If you lose both your ship and your pod, then it was a bad roam.

So gratz on your pod staying safe.

Well actually if you get blobbed and lose your ship and pod but take out something shiney before you die its also a good roam.

If your pod was cheap then its really just an express train back to your reshipping station. Its a kindness.

Just stop worrying/posting/whining about the costs. What you cited doesn't come close to what I lose in a night of PvP, and I can easily recover that cost in about an hour. So obviously you are doing something wrong.

BTW, the Bonus Room in Angel Extravaganza has the best bounties in the entire mission.

There's no need to post a reply in such a negative way. Some players in this game don't have a lot of ISK.

No need to post a sarcastic reply and bypass the profanity filter..


Seriously, nobody is twisting your arms forcing you people to reply to these threads. All you ever do is post demeaning sarcastic remarks intended to incite rage and derail the thread with a flame war. If you guys can't contribute anything helpful to the thread, then do us all a favor and don't post.
