Managed to get me through 4 or 5 Vertigo alliance (who really dont like BS.i for those who dont know) nasty ships and T2 Drones, and was able to leg it to a safe spot in the next system before any of them could nail me...
im shaking somewhat as I have the control tower in the hold!
I've logged out in a safe space and will return to shipping it later this morning (its 3:40 am now)
