When bait goes bad

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

Aii likes the look of the Navy Scorpion. Of course, I tell him about how I engaged the same pilot flying a Navy Raven in the same w-space anomaly not five minutes ago, had to bail out, and that this second battleship is probably bait, but that just makes the ...

Chastening a Navy Raven

Monday, August 20th, 2012

All looks quiet at home. One new signature turns out to be a rock site, which I activate before heading through our static wormhole to roam. The neighbouring class 3 w-space system has gone through some changes since my last visit five months ago, as three of the four towers ...

Music of 2012, part one

Sunday, August 19th, 2012

What the hell, 2012? It's August already and I haven't yet pushed out a first review of new music I'm listening to. Let's remedy that, better late than never, with the first batch of albums that have been added to my collection. Hopefully I can get the second and third ...

Hopping through half-mass holes

Saturday, August 18th, 2012

Aii's been busy. Three gas sites have been sucked up in to his ships and presumably dumped in to storage at our tower. I doubt I'll be so busy this evening, being somewhat in pain, but after my recent ransacking of towers in low-sec empire space I feel I should ...

More low-sec looting

Friday, August 17th, 2012

Lots of scanning yesterday ended with little to show for it. Hopefully there will be less scanning and more shooting this evening. The only shooting in the home system will be to get rid of the repopulating Sleepers. But by myself the best I can achieve is shooting rocks or ...

Looking for some Lokis

Thursday, August 16th, 2012

A couple of days away from space has gas go, gas come, and no bookmarks waiting. It's a fresh start for me, with only our static wormhole needing to be resolved at home. Jumping to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has a tower and no ships visible on my ...

Harrassing a Hound

Wednesday, August 15th, 2012

There's an explosion of sites at home, with eight anomalies already spawned. It just shows that you can't keep the Sleepers down. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system isn't seeing explosions, though. Aii saw some Hulk exhumers earlier but couldn't quite scan them without his probes staying visible for too ...

Looting in low-sec

Tuesday, August 14th, 2012

Gas, gas, rocks, and a magnetometric site. The Sleepers are stirring in the home system again. I activate the new sites, so that they will stop cluttering my scan results within a few days, and resolve and jump through our static wormhole to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A ...

Dying connections don't lead to dead systems

Monday, August 13th, 2012

W-space has felt quiet lately. Hopefully I can stir up some trouble tonight. Home has me all alone again, and I resolve our static wormhole so I can visit the neighbours. They're out, it seems, as my directional scanner shows a tower and no ships from the K162, and it's ...

Ships in towers

Sunday, August 12th, 2012

It looks like I have a new site in the home system, but it actually turns out to be a new direction to explore. I like that. The signature resolves to be a wormhole, and a K162 from deadly class 6 w-space too. But a wormhole is a wormhole, and ...
