User blog:Eskeland/Last Friday's record op

As a way of improving transparency and communication in the corp, I plan to make regular posts from now on about the mining ops. Last Friday's op (10/09/2010) was a pretty damn good one: we had an Orca, three Hulks, a Retriever and several support ships in place, and for the first time ever, we cleaned out two full belts in a single op!

Not only did we have a decent return, we even had a few unusual sights. Andrei tested out his very cool rep drones on my BFA, which made for a pretty psychedelic lightshow.

Just as neatly, our mining fleet was reinforced with the summit of epicness, a mining Rokh!

Quick grateful shoutout to Blade for making the awesome pictures. :-)

Very nice stuff, and the yield was in proportion: we brought in about 4,5 Orca loads, for a total of 9,32 million tritanium, 1,45 million pyerite, 330k mexallon, 15k noxcium, and a small quantity of assorted goodies (i.e. pirate loot). As always, the minerals were divided between the containers of the two participating cohorts. If we can get some builds going soon, the payout should be pretty nice. :-)

Well done indies! Hopefully everyone will keep up the great work!
