Radar sites in low-sec

Monday, April 30th, 2012

Yesterday's exploration took me through many systems but showed me almost nothing. I'm hoping for the opposite today, with a simple constellation and some activity to at least watch voyeuristically. The home system itself holds new rocks and gas but no surprises, pushing me through our static connection to the ...

If a ship pops without a pilot, does it go on the killboard?

Sunday, April 29th, 2012

Running solo, I scan the home system. It's all clear here, just as it looks on the other side of our static connection. My directional scanner shows me nothing of interest in C3a. Well, nothing of direct interest, but I note that the only planet that is in d-scan range ...

Nothing but a Pilgrim

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

There is a K162 from class 3 w-space at home today, so Aii tells me. He found the wormhole and has jumped through to take a look around, finding no one home and lots of signatures. I leave him to it and head towards our static wormhole, there being a ...

Rats one way, tower fuel the other

Friday, April 27th, 2012

It's just me and my Tengu. Or is it? Man, that's genius writing, setting the tension like that. I'm actually curious about the Ghostathema covert operations boat that Fin spied in our home w-space system recently, and whether it remains here and has been active. As a precaution, after collapsing ...

Scouting around stealth bombers

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Fin thinks we may have a guest. She spotted a covert operations boat briefly on her directional scanner in the home w-space system, after a K162 was collapsed. It's possible the scout didn't get home in time and already left back through the new static wormhole, but we can't discount ...

Back to scanning and ratting

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

My glorious leader has found her way home and is exploring w-space again. So far, Fin's found some new gas in the home system, our static wormhole, and two wormholes in our neighbouring class 3 system. The wormholes are a T405 outbound connection to class 4 w-space and a static ...

Vanquishing a Viator

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012

I'm up for an opportunistic poke around w-space, although I'm not expecting to hang around for too long tonight. The recurring theme of having two wormholes in the home system is a good start to finding activity, although having our static connection to class 3 w-space today joined by a ...

Scan, rat, scan

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

Fin's lamenting the loss of another Tengu. Her strategic cruiser got tangled in the defences of a tower until the accidental game of pachinko became deadly. Accidents happen, and we can cover the loss. Of course, as I found out recently, the real inconvenience is not to our corporate wallet ...

Scouting in my colleague's wake

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

Scanning when there are only one or two signatures in the system is pretty easy. Scanning when your glorious leader has been here an hour earlier and bookmarked all there is to find is even easier. I'm not going to fall in to the trap of assuming that nothing's changed ...

Staying safe slaying Sleepers

Saturday, April 21st, 2012

I'm back in the empty space of the home system. But it's not empty for long, as a minute later my glorious leader appears. Let's get going! The home system is clear of ships and signatures of dubious origins, there being only some expected gas and the static wormhole. The ...
