Greetings,
Few days ago was pretty interesting, as I have never been in such environment.
It was reported on our secure channel that we will be having convoy soon, so I launched my mining ship "Annapurna". Around that time there was this hostile ship flying near Java, so I decided to just stay very close to station and let military ships deal with him, but all of sudden he went from about 1500-2k distance from base straight towards me. He started shooting and almost destroyed my shield, but I managed to escape on time, and started shooting straight at him from that moment, and just about maybe 10 seconds later or so we killed the enemy. After that the system was clear and we continued mining ore for our transporters.
Once all were filled we regrouped in front of Java. I am sure that someone took better picture from front, but I decided to take a picture from behind, and I think I got almost everyone. Perhaps only one ship is not in a picture(at all, + half that ALG ship). This was perhaps the most awesome moment I experienced while being IMG member. There were about twelve transports(eleven on picture, so really have no idea, but I think I heard someone saying there were twelve) plus I think there were three escorts. Colonial escorts as always. We went on the most standard route through Bretonia towards New Berlin system. I there weren't any serious problems along the way.
After delivery, we resupplied our base, and continued mining for new shipping.
Everything was alright from first moment till last. I have to say I was pretty excited as that was biggest convoy I ever participated in!
I will try to name all the people that were participated but I am pretty sure I will miss some, so I hope someone will make a clearer, better organized report about one hell of a convoy!

Today was also ok. I missed first part of Convoy which was heading from Tau system as I was already in Omega-7. So, to hurry things up I decided to go mine on my own as I saw no threats in system nor anywhere nearby. I managed to mine a whole bunch of ore. While I was mining some independent trader named Brentley came close to me in hope of acquiring my service. So as I mined lot of ores I made deal with him and the trader went off on his way happily. Actually so happy that he came back about thirty minutes later and asked for another filling.
After I filled him the first time not long has passed before our transporters started arriving. One ship was insta-filled. There was ore for one more transporter but at that same time a "The_Dumpster_Dweller" arrived at place and demanded five million credits in exchange for not blowing up all those ores I just mined. Right when he was about to shot them all up, transporter came right on time, and tractored them all in, and I also tractored one so there would be less for him to destroy. At that time, he started pursuing that same transpoter "IMG|Never.Early". I tried to help him escape, which he did as the pirate had issues with navigating system(was lagging like crazy, and suddenly went straight down or something like that. In any case he was no longer threat and we returned to doing what we do best.
Just when I was about to go change my ship into transporter so kind Ashley could fill it up with ore, the same independent trader - Brentley arrived at scene that bought ore from me half hour earlier. So, me and Ashley accepted the deal, and left him filled with ore once again.
Five transporters then continued towards Tau systems, without any encounter along the way. Oh and we also had one scout!
Scout: IMG|Turney
Transporters: CR|-CM-Party.Smasher, [UC]-UCN-Vendeur.2, IMG|Alf.Evanz, IMG|Ashley_.Valent.[R] and myself.
I am sorry, but I forgot to turn on my guncam at times. Will try to turn it on more often in future!
