Looking for action

Monday, April 11th, 2011

Fin's educating me on how to shoot Sleepers. We've collapsed our static wormhole, to remove the exit to null-sec k-space and look for better opportunities, and found another occupied but inactive class 3 w-space system. It's arguable whether we've found a better exit, though, even if it leads out to ...

Early exploration

Sunday, April 10th, 2011

I have a niggling feeling I've been neglecting our tower of late. I'm sure the last time we put fuel in it we topped it up completely, giving us plenty of time until it next needs attention, but I forget when that was. Taking a look at the fuel levels ...

Staying alive

Saturday, April 9th, 2011

Fin's just jumped next door, and she's thoughtfully left me a bookmark to the static wormhole in our can. I'll join her in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system in a moment, I have to check my mail first. There's a curious message from a pilot I don't recognise about ...

Vaporising a Viator

Friday, April 8th, 2011

Maybe the Proteus pilot isn't that smart after all. We tried to lure the scanning strategic cruiser in to an ambush using a simple frigate as bait, but despite being able to swat our ship to one side the Proteus simply warped home. My first guess is that he suspected ...

Heron versus Proteus

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

We have an exit to high-sec empire space today. And by 'we' I mean 'Fin', because I haven't been out scanning in a while. It's been long enough that I'm thinking maybe the mechanics behind the whole interaction have been changed and I won't know what I'm doing the next... ...

Fighting back

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

We need options. Our neighbours in the class 3 w-space system are up for a scrap and have fought back me and Fin a couple of times, showing that we simply can't throw enough missiles to combat capacitor-sharing, remote-repairing command ships. If we jammed even one of the Sleipnirs, though, ...

Facing up to the neighbours

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Fin's next door, looking for an exit. Mick's still in empire space, twiddling his thumbs. And I'm scanning for our static wormhole, Fin guiding me to the correct signature to make it quick. I jump in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system as activity begins, a Dominix battleship warping ...

Sleepers after a Hulk

Monday, April 4th, 2011

It's just me and Fin again. Mick chased an Orca industrial command ship collapsing a wormhole, and the wormhole collapsed. He's isolated out in empire space until we can find a new entrance for him to use. Scanning is a daily task, though, so hopefully we can get him back ...

Discouraging action

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011

Wormholes are opened, bookmarks available, let's take my stealth bomber out to see what's happening today. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system seems immediately active, even if only implicitly by the presence of scanning probes on my directional scanner. A quick adjustment of d-scan's range gate puts them nowhere near ...

Looking for something to shoot

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

Scanning is already done by the time I turn up. We not only have a decent chain of w-space to explore but there is an exit to empire space a mere seven hops to Jita, where both Fin and Mick decide to go shopping. I spin my ship for a ...
