Moving out

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

Today could be the day, an exit to high-sec empire space is being scanned by scouts as I arrive at the tower. The exit system even turns out to be a few hops from The Citadel region, which sounds good to me. I'll make my escape tonight, with as many ...

Looking for a way out

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

Scanning has me looking for a specific target, and it's not a ship but a wormhole. I want an exit to high-sec empire space so I can start moving my ships out of the corporation's class 5 w-space system, the more discreetly the better. I would rather be gone before ...

Finding some perspective

Friday, November 12th, 2010

The fight with the Drakes was superb. The routine check of the directional scanner by a hauler saw the ships, after which good communications and complementary ship selection, combined with capsuleer experience and skills, sees a successful and exciting engagement. It was almost just what I needed to get over ...

Three little ducks

Friday, November 12th, 2010

I'm stirred by an alert. A colleague reports battlecruisers in the class 3 w-space system, two jumps from our own. A Cyclone and three Drakes are spotted by a pilot returning from empire space in a hauler, the combat ships sharing a directional scanner reading with some Sleeper wrecks. My ...

Simple exploration

Friday, November 12th, 2010

I spur myself in to action, grabbing bookmarks from the can and going out to explore. I may not have any actual scanning to do, as the bookmarked w-space constellation appears to end in empire space, but I can at least scout the systems with my own sensors. Our static ...

Passive scanning

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Scanning is complete, and I haven't lifted a finger. We have a simple constellation today, heading through our neighbouring class 5 w-space system in to a C1, then exiting to low-sec empire space. A wormhole opens up from low-sec in to the C5 too, which is all our scouts have ...

Abandoned Talocan battleships in class 5 w-space

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

It looks like another fleet is forming to engage Sleepers. I join the fleet, despite yesterday's experience, and seeing that we will be flying armour-tanked ships today I get my Damnation out of the hangar. I have faith in the command ship's presence in the field, the warfare links aiding ...

Ready for nothing

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

A fleet is engaging Sleepers, and unusually using their shields to soak up attacks. I presume a couple of Basilisk logistics ships are keeping the shields replenished, allowing me to join the action more directly. All I need is a suitable ship. I consider taking my Damnation command ship in ...

Clearing a path home

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Another convenient exit presents itself. It isn't quite as convenient as a K162 from high-sec opening directly in to our system, but it is a good opportunity for me to bring my few remaining ships in to our new class 5 w-space home. The route to empire space takes me ...

Scanning from a class 5 w-space home

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

Our longer-living static wormhole is dead. The connection in our new class 5 w-space home lasts for twenty-four hours instead of the sixteen of our C4 home, which is taking a little getting used to. But now that it has gone I have an opportunity to get a feel for ...
