Nudging another Noctis

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Hi, w-space, what's happening? Not much, Penny! That's okay, I'm not going to ask about your TPS reports, I just want a poke around tonight's constellation, see what's out there. There's little left at home apart from anomalies, the static wormhole being the only signature, but jumping in to our ...

Quick crack at a battlecruiser

Sunday, October 30th, 2011

I'm not expecting much tonight, only looking to poke around our neighbouring w-space system. No one and nothing is in our home system, giving me a suitably low-key start to the evening and leaving just the static wormhole to resolve as a new signature. Jumping through to the class 3 ...

Stumbling back and forth

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

The rocks are dead! Long live the gas! Well, for three days or so, as I warp in to activate the ladar site that has appeared on the day two gravimetric sites have despawned. There's little more to do at home and I jump in to our neighbouring class 3 ...

Bouncing battleship

Friday, October 28th, 2011

Activate! Setting some gas to self-destruct is more boring than it sounds, merely warping in to the new ladar site in the home system for it to decay a within the next few days. There's a second new signature to be resolved too, which turns out to be a magnetometric ...

Shunting a shuttle

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Empty system, empty heart. I need to scoop the corpses of innocent miners in to my cargo hold in order to cheer me up. And as the home system is empty I'll need to scan my way out of here so I can find those miners. I launch probes to ...

Bumbling behind a Bustard

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

I'm back, and wondering just how much of the w-space constellation from earlier still exists. A K162 in our neighbouring class 3 system started looking a bit peaky as I returned through it from my scanning expedition, the collapse of which would cut off half of the systems worth roaming ...

Little but empty ships

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

I have some time to myself, I'm going to take an early afternoon stroll through w-space. That means scanning my way through wormholes first, though, as I need to find the path before I can follow it. A couple of new signatures in the home system turn out to be ...

Running foul of rocks

Monday, October 24th, 2011

Another day, another empty home system. Scanning my way out of here is simple as always but picking a direction is not as straightforward as usual, there being a second wormhole present today. Along with our static wormhole to class 3 w-space there is also a K162 from class 4 ...

Gigs of 2010-ish

Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

It looks like back in 2010 I was still endeavouring to write a review for gigs the day after I attended them, the habit tailing off towards the end of the year. I find it difficult to be thorough and timely, particularly if I don't have much to say, probably ...

Probing for a planetary popping

Saturday, October 22nd, 2011

With only a little time planned to spend in space today I'm not expecting to do much more than take a short look around, starting with the home system. An unexpected signature has appeared which when resolved turns out only to be more gas, leaving me just the static wormhole ...
