Following fellows' footsteps

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Late-night scanning by colleagues has made some bookmarks available, giving me a choice to roam or scan. A time-stamp has been manually added to the bookmark for the home system's static connection, a convention we have adopted to better gauge the life of the wormhole, and it suggests the wormhole ...

Salvaging a wreck

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

The Sleepers have knocked us down but we get right back up again. A standard anomaly in our neighbouring class 4 w-space system tempts us to launch strategic cruisers, to enact some revenge against the Sleepers as well as make back some ISK lost from the destruction of the five ...

Losing to Sleepers

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

I need to get some ECM quickly. Returning to hear that 'this is the biggest fail of the year' is not encouraging. Colleagues have gone to a radar site in our neighbouring class 4 w-space system and rather than heading back with boat-loads of loot are instead encountering difficulties. But ...

Exploring w-space systems

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

I'm active early, hoping to lay the foundations for later ambushes. I take my Buzzard covert operations boat out to scan today's w-space constellation to look for likely targets or sites of interest. I find the home system's static wormhole easily enough and jump through. Our neighbouring class 4 system ...

Close and quiet

Monday, October 18th, 2010

It's early, I'm alone, there is a new w-space constellation to explore. But maybe I'm not alone, as although there are no colleagues of mine awake I see some scanning probes on my directional scanner. Perhaps a wormhole has connected in to our system and a K162 waits to be ...

Simple scanning

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

Some cryptic bookmarks are available but I may not need to decipher them. There is chatter in the corporation channel about collapsing the static wormhole, which would thankfully make the current bookmarks obsolete. A new constellation would open up to be explored where the creation of bookmarks could be better ...

Scanning, roaming, returning

Saturday, October 16th, 2010

Roaming w-space ends early, before I've even left the home system. My Manticore stealth bomber drops out of warp in to empty space, the bookmarked location no longer holding a wormhole and being another arbitrary point in space. The bookmarks I copied are no longer current, but instead of scouting ...

Deterring a Drake

Friday, October 15th, 2010

The static wormhole clings to what little life it has left, collapsing almost an hour after it was expected to. But goes it does and now we can explore our new w-space constellation. A corporation scout resolves the new static wormhole in our home system and three more of us ...

Taking the scenic route home

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

The atmosphere at the tower is pricked by the scent of blood. A new wormhole connects to us from a class 2 w-space system and our scout finds a Cormorant destroyer salvaging on the other side. There are also a few Drake battlecruisers creating the Sleeper wrecks to be salvaged, ...

A chain of dangerous space

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

The unknown awaits. A single bookmark in the shared can indicates our home system's static wormhole has been found but nothing else. I point my Buzzard covert operations boat towards the fresh connection and head out to explore today's w-space constellation. The wormhole needs time to stabilise as I move ...
