Sleepers follow a Heron

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

A scout scouts in today's connecting class 3 w-space system, seeing multiple ships on his directional scanner. The presence of combat, industrial, and a mining ship all seem to offer opportunity in their own ways, depending on what they are up to, but locating the tower finds the pilots to ...

Waiting for a tourist

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Roaming our neighbouring system is short-lived. I take my Manticore stealth bomber out for a look in the class 3 w-space and am happy to see ship activity. A Drake battlecruiser is at one of the two towers, along with a Buzzard covert operations boat, and I can see a ...

Missing a Maller

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

Interesting ships await me in w-space today. Our home system is quiet, but scanning my way to our neighbouring class 3 system has a Thanatos carrier, three Dominix battleships, and some industrial ships visible on my direction scanner. The three identical battleships make me think there may be a fleet ...

Pimping my Golem

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Hello wormhole, my only friend. No one is home when I wake up so I scan the system to find our static connection and see where it takes me today. I jump in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system to a clear directional scanner, with just the one planet ...

Question time

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

Apparently my writing is opaque enough that I have prompted one reader to write in with a bunch of questions about w-space operations. Luckily, I like the sound of my own typing and I am happy to answer them. Hold on to your hats for an extended post, as brevity ...

Salvaging as we go

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

Eight sweet anomalies wait next door. Fin's scanned our neighbouring class 3 w-space system to find the anomalies, along with no occupation, a static exit to null-sec k-space, and a K162 wormhole reaching the end of its lifetime leading in from low-sec. It looks like another good night to make ...

Golem test flight

Friday, April 15th, 2011

I think it's time to test my Golem. No one's home, here or in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. There is a tower in the C3, in the same place it was on my last visit a couple of months ago, and I resolve but don't warp to the ...

A night of logistics

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

The wormhole I've resolved seems awfully fat as a signature. I suspect it to be a K162, as wormhole exits tend to be easier to detect than entrances, but I can't see any other connections in our home w-space system. As I scan Fin turns up, which lets me warp ...

Lagging behind

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Our neighbouring system is ripe for exploration. The static wormhole leading to the class 3 w-space system has been scanned and left unvisited, a bookmark pointing towards it copied in to our shared can. I take the opportunity to see what's waiting for us today, warping to the fresh wormhole ...

Cruising behind a Caracal

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

There is a new exit to high-sec. One static connection of a class 2 w-space system connects to our class 4 home, the other to high-sec empire space, and the exit that was at the end of its natural lifetime is now gone. Fin is with me in this C2 ...
