Bagging another barge

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

I'm sat cloaked in my Buzzard monitoring our static wormhole as battleships and an Orca jump through. The wormhole is being collapsed intentionally by a corporation fleet, hoping to find better opportunities through a different gateway. I have already launched probes from my covert operations boat and made a pre-emptive ...

Trapping a Cheetah

Monday, September 20th, 2010

Some food recharges my system and I come back to have another look around today's w-space constellation. I take my Buzzard covert operations boat out, not seeing any sign of activity in our neighbouring class 4 system or the second C4 connecting to it, but seeing scanning probes on ...

Incidental earnings

Monday, September 20th, 2010

I'm rich! And alone. Well, richer I suppose, but not aloner. Two hundred and fourty five of my collected datacores sold to a single customer overnight for a tidy hundred million iskies, but there are no corporation colleagues around in w-space. I go out exploring whilst ...

All talk and no action

Sunday, September 19th, 2010

With no one around w-space is my oyster and I have fresh systems to scan. I jump to our neighbouring class 4 w-space system and find an occupied but inactive system. My probes pick up only three signatures amongst the seven anomalies, so scanning will be quick. I ...

Third time lucky

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

The neighbouring class 4 w-space system has been visited, but no further exploration performed. A colleague and I follow our earlier scout's visit to see what awaits through our static connection. The presence of some Sleeper wrecks on the directional scanner is interesting and I locate them as ...

Intimidating an Imicus

Friday, September 17th, 2010

The evening starts with Sleeper combat. Specifically, it started some time ago with Sleeper combat and I am turning up half-way through the corporate operation. I launch Pengu, my Tengu strategic cruiser, and warp off to the location of the copied bookmark. Jumping through our static wormhole ...

Two new assault ships

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

I'm going shopping again. Only two intermediate w-space systems lie between me and high-sec space and I am still looking to increase my options in PvP combat. I have done a little bit of research to configure a couple of ships and I am finally going to take ...

Tussling over a Harpy

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

I have a new Harpy. Well, the assault ship is nearly mine, and only nearly new too, I suppose. I can overlook the scorch marks on the armour where the VIN used to be and the rest of the damage will buff out. But I'm getting ahead ...

Helping myself to a Harpy

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

W-space is not much explored today. Only the static wormhole has a bookmark copied to our shared can. But both sides of the wormhole are bookmarked, indicating the wormhole is active. Maybe we have corporation miners in the neighbouring system. I head out to take a ...

K-space is a dead-end

Monday, September 13th, 2010

What good timing. I turn up only minutes after our static wormhole dies, offering new exploration possibilities. I join a small scouting fleet to help scan our way through more wormholes to look for activity and opportunities. Our new neighbouring class 4 w-space system looks a promising ...
