Incursions In EVE With T1 Destroyers

Well I've got a slightly interesting and informative post for today.

     It began when I was simply mining in my Venture in Mitsolen a 0.6 system. I was aware there was an incursion in a system adjacent to me at the time. However what I failed to realise is that as soon as I had entered warp to a prospective asteroid belt the incursion had entered the system. I was greeted with a friendly 1 hit end to my Venture.

 

 

Goodbye my old friend.

   I then shared this startling kill with my fellow corporation members, one of which decided we should go kill them. We quickly decided to use 3 T1 Cormorant destroyers to dispatch this seemingly easy enemy. However I was skeptical. How could 3 T1 destroyers survive firepower of that magnitude? Still I went with the plan.

   As we gathered our very deadly force of 3 Cormorants (sarcasm), I began to conclude this was to be a suicidal mission. How could we possibly match our enemies superior DPS? 

Our enemy.

      As our 3 destroyers warped into the belt we were faced with an immediate problem: they were gone. This gave us some false confidence somehow and we decided to warp to random belts until the perpetrators were discovered.  After 3 minutes of warping we had found them.

    Although the results were not fantastic.

One destroyer belonging to Max Mahler was quickly dispatched at a range of 33km, much further then our guns could shoot. We quickly considered the options and came to the consensus of retreat. So as I aligned and fired up the engines and warped I had a mere 14% armor left. No shields.

So that marked the end of that. Perhaps we should have taken notice of the battleships jumping in and possibly used something like that, something a little er.....tougher.
