Seriously, the biggest source of tension was wondering when someone was going to come along and steal the loot at the end. Turns out the only people in system were busy running missions instead. They didn't bother to show up. I'm glad I could finish one which is kind of funny because I was heading back home after an aborted foray into low. In like 5 jumps the site appeared.
So in a way it was a relief. On the other hand, the site itself isn't that interesting. It was basically an L2 with a BC at the end and some Quafe Zero that I can sell a bit down the line when the prices recover.
You're right, the site itself, and the typical loot therein, is rather mundane. It's the getting out in space and running them down part that's interesting.
Over the weekend I went into an empty wormhole, then went into an empty C5 from there. As I was running one of it's four Frostlines the return hole collapsed. Great. I went through the C5 static into another empty hole with more Frostlines. From there, another C5 but this one was filled with ships and towers with Cyrillic names. I noped out of there as quickly as I could and by sheer luck one of the first sigs I scanned was the C3 static exit. That C3 had a static lowsec hole and I knew I'd be safe if I could make it through that. Unfortunately, after only finding a nullsec hole, combat scanner probes showed up. Dammit. So I took a chance and whelped into null, not knowing if I'd end up next door to home, or fifty jumps away behind hellcamps... Fortunately, although it was a busy system there were no bubbles on the gates, and it was only six gates away from The Forge lowsec. Safe at last! On my way home I did see a highsec Frostline that I checked out, to find a Gnosis running it already. His MTU meant I couldn't get the loot myself. Oh well.
Total for the excursion: nine Frostlines, nine minimal drops. Lots of tension at times. I wish I felt more confident about engaging in solo PvP, but whatever.
ps - by "empty" wormholes I of course mean "filled with dozens of cloaky Lokis."
