Collecting a Curse

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

Local w-space has been mapped and today offers a convenient exit. I am told that a few jumps will get me to a Gallente market hub, which seems like a good excuse to go shopping for another new ship. I board a shuttle and head to empire space, ...

Mass-representative battleship

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

All the wormholes are nearly dead, but we only need to kill one of them. Collapsing our static wormhole ahead of time will isolate us from the scanned w-space constellation and offer a new one to explore. I grab one of the Raven battleships available to add its ...

Temporarily trapping a Tengu

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

Some systems seem simply neglected. Jumping in to our neighbouring class 4 w-space system for today brings me to a system I last visited six weeks ago. Not only was it unoccupied then and remains unoccupied now but there are dozens of signatures scattered around the system. ...

Volcanic activity in space

Friday, September 10th, 2010

Opportunity for exploration looks promising. Opening our bookmarks can shows only locations noted for our static wormhole, with the next connection along listed as 'inactive'. I copy the bookmarks to my Buzzard's nav-comp and warp the covert operations boat to our system's wormhole, jumping through when I get ...

Mangling a miner

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

I'm back in my Buzzard and scanning. Our neighbouring w-space system has been purged of the mining menace and is again safe to patrol, allowing me to explore further afield in my covert operations boat. My probes are launched and being used to look for wormholes, but I ...

Bagging a Badger

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

I load my Buzzard's nav-comp with bookmarks from our can and start exploring. My covert operations boat doesn't get too far, our static wormhole no longer where the bookmark guides me. But the K162 wormhole, opened in to our own system from another, is still alive and I ...

Recovering a blue Osprey

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Corporation Sleeper combat is just finishing. That's okay, I can go exploring. The static wormhole in our neighbouring class 4 w-space system was left unvisited and inactive whilst the fleet fought Sleepers but now I open it to see what's beyond. We still have a capsuleer mining ...

Buying another replacement heavy interdictor

Monday, September 6th, 2010

I need a replacement Onyx. My heavy interdictor has just been blown up by some battleships and strategic cruisers. As luck would have it, there is an available exit to high-sec empire space that I can use. The route to the exit wormhole passes through the system ...

Turning the tables

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

It is a good time to explore. The home system's static wormhole has only just been found and opened, and today's neighbouring class 4 w-space system holds a tower. I warp to the wormhole and jump through, locating the tower by using the directional scanner. I have ...

Disparate roaming

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

A corporation fleet is hunting, in the same way that a spider hunts. I turn up to learn that a Buzzard covert operations boat is scanning in our neighbouring class 4 w-space system but doing so from within the safety of his tower, so the small fleet is lurking ...
