A rare gank attempt

 So the other night someone attempted to gank me.

I was on my way back to Akonoinen, in a DST with about 3Bn in materials for a run, then when I jumped into Vellaine I loaded grid with 7 ships, mainly Oracles. I knew what was up and aligned to warp and turned my tank on along with my MWD. I was promptly locked up and...brought to about half shield. I remembered I hadn't overheated so did that and the second volley hit...knocking off about another quarter of my shield. 

By that point CONCORD had flooded the grid and all 7 assailants died in an expensive fireball, leaving me with 7 kill rights to use, which is nice. 

I was never going to use them myself, but fortunately I don't have to, so I made them available for all to use for 10 or 15 million each. Over the next 2 days I got these mails:


And just like that I was about 90mil richer. Just goes to show that it's worth having your haulers fully tanked, and remember to train Thermodynamics so you can overheat. 

If he had calculated properly it would have cost me about 3.3Bn, as he failed it cost him somewhere around 700mil and I gained 90mil. Quite the swing based on results.
