Anyway after a mission running session that ran late the other night (into the early morning) I bailed and he was going to make a shopping trip to Jita. The next day I found that he was on a lot longer then just a trip to Jita. It seems that the last mission he handed in was the one needed to prompt a storyline mission. He accepted it despite it being in a 0.4 system. Needless to say it went pear-shaped once people warped into his mission area. He had almost finished the mission when he got company.
Thankfully he didn't take his new Dominix, just a Drake. The funny part is that for over an hour the person that scrammed him couldn't break his tank. This dude called in a friend. Both couldn't break his tank. The second dude tried three different ships/fits to break the tank. This went on for some time. And being so late/early in the morning my friend said "sod it" and once his aggression timer ticked off he logged off.
From the kill mail's it seems that even while logged off the drake took quiet a while to have its tank whittled away, thanks mainly to the npc's helping the pvp dudes on the dps front.
My friend has since given a lot of friendly jibes about "if he only had backup..." but even if I got a text message at that hour in the morning I would have been "expletive".
Anyway a good backup wingman would have told him not to accept the mission.
Or to at least fit a warp stab or two as a get out of jail free card, but he'd say that was cheating or diminishing his dps(manhood). So the end result would prob be the same for him.
I guess over all he got what he wanted, he took a chance, it didnt' work out this time, and he got to pvp with a challenging ganker(s).
