No matter where I roam

The corp I joined at the tail end of 2008 have an agreement with a larger alliance that gives us access to 0.0 space and we're all slowly moving our stuff down into a friendly station and finding our way around.

Part of the agreement is that we help to keep our little corner of space clear of any undesirables and to that end once a week we go aromin'.

I've been on 2 of these roams and they've been a little less than eventful so far. As with most things online, particularly where not all parties are fully experienced veterans, getting started usually takes a little longer than it should, and then there's usually someone who keeps crashing and needs to be re-invited and all that jazz, but generally we are fairly well organised.

I usually get to play scout, which make things a little more interesting. I get to be all serious and military and it's great fun.

So far though, we're a little short of making any significant kills. This isn't because we aren't very good so much as because we seem to pick nights where no-one else is online! We see the odd red in local but since none of us are packing probes, finding them isn't always easy.

What it does do though is give everyone a great introduction to moving around 0.0 space, following orders and all that jazz so hopefully when we finally do meet some nasty red people, we'll be ready to take them down quickly and cleanly!
