Exploring the vacuum

Friday, May 13th, 2011

Oh look, our tower's still here, and completely intact. I suppose the foul-mouthed null-seccers didn't consider us worth bothering, or didn't want to sully their ships by being in w-space for longer than necessary. Either way, it's business as usual, and I get my Buzzard covert operations boat out to ...

From Russia with love

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

Like Schrödinger's capsuleer, Fin's here and not here. I see her in our corporation channel but not in our home w-space system, and thankfully she's not too far away, only in our neighbouring class 3 system and not some festering petri dish of biological samples that is empire space. Our ...

Scanning and collapsing

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

Sites are popping up everywhere in the home system. Our recent spate of invaders has calmed down, no longer rampaging through our system whilst we sleep, stealing profit that we'd never realise anyway, and the local concentrations of rocks and gas are beginning to build up again. I am mostly ...

Sleepers and slow interception

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

All is quiet, despite others being here. W-space seems sleepy today, and even taking my stealth bomber for a roam in our neighbouring class 3 system doesn't wake anyone up. There are two towers in the C3 but a lack of ships, and no one is stirring. With a bit ...

Hassling a Hulk pilot

Monday, May 9th, 2011

The home system is still empty on my return, and it's perhaps a little optimistic to hope that the neighbours are out harvesting gas in the lone site in their class 3 w-space system. I am keen to find out, though, so I board my Manticore stealth bomber and take ...

Third time will be a charm

Monday, May 9th, 2011

I have some time on my hands, I think I'll take an early look around our w-space constellation. Finding our static wormhole is easy enough, and jumping to our neighbouring class 3 system sees a couple of ships and a couple of towers on my directional scanner. My notes also ...

Engage and retreat

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

Ah, great days. The last time I was in this class 3 w-space system we pop a Machariel battleship, narrowly missing getting a second kill too. That was ten months ago, though, and the two ships I can see on my blanket scan of the system are not where I ...

Making up the loss

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

It's time to collapse our static wormhole. Not much else is going to happen in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system today. At least, not now our Legion strategic cruisers have been destroyed in a skilful bait operation, which also initially catches the locals. It is perhaps a little risky ...

Counter-ambush with a twist

Friday, May 6th, 2011

Fin warps back to our tower to drop a bookmark in our shared can, politlely letting me jump ahead in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. I'm not sure why, as I completely missed spotting the wormhole amongst all the other signatures and had to follow behind just to ...

Profiting from unoccupied w-space

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

No one's around, there are no bookmarks in our can, I suppose I have nothing to do but scan. I soon find the static wormhole, with the number of signatures in our system remaining manageably low, and am jumping in to a class 3 w-space system I only visited a ...
