Quietness in scanning

Sunday, March 31st, 2013

It's all quiet on the edge of space. It's all quiet on my combat scanning probes too. A single cosmic signature in the home w-space system, our static wormhole, probably accounts for our anomalies remaining, and it's that lone signature that interests me more than the Sleepers in the anomalies ...

Low trading

Saturday, March 30th, 2013

There have been no invasions for X days. Super! Aii tells me that we have our static wormhole and an inbound connection that's at the end of its life, but that he hasn't been further than that yet. That's cool, although the corporate bookmarks look like yesterday's. Then again, that's ...

Ratting's no substitute for adventure

Friday, March 29th, 2013

What am I going to find today? Bookmarks for both sides of our static wormhole, for a start, but let's hope it gets better than that. A quick scan of the home system sees no changes in the hour since the bookmarks were made, by colleague unknown, so I jump ...

Spoiling gas sucking by collecting planet goo

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

A new signature in the home system doesn't have me scurrying backwards through w-space looking for activity, what with it resolving to be some rocks, leaving me pressing forwards to our neighbouring class 3 system as usual. A tower with no ships appears on my directional scanner from the K162, ...

Wombles of w-space

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013

Transmission Lost have collapsed their connection to our home system. Now what to do. 'We could mine the gas', suggests my glorious leader, seeing how we stopped TL from grabbing it. Thankfully, her added laughter indicates how likely she thinks I'd want to do that. Through our static wormhole it ...

Sharks follow bait

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

I'm back again, to see what potential invaders/lodgers are up to, if Transmission Lost are poking through their static wormhole in to our home system some more, and what, if anything, is happening in our unoccupied neighbouring class 3 w-space system. My glorious leader updates me with TL's movements, which ...

Checking the home system's clear

Monday, March 25th, 2013

I'm up early to take a look around. This isn't an opportunistic check for external planet gooers on their rounds, but rather to see that nothing is happening in the home system. A tower, presumed hostile, definitely unwanted, was erected yesterday, and destroyed yesterday. No one came to save it, ...

Halting a half-hearted invasion

Sunday, March 24th, 2013

There's no rest for the wicked. I've come home, after an embarrassingly unsuccessful hunt of ships that can barely shoot back, and sent myself to a quiet corner of the system to go off-line, when a casual updating of my directional scanner shows me a tower. Not our tower, but ...

Zipping past a Zephyr

Saturday, March 23rd, 2013

I'm feeling kinda tired. I hope I don't cause any mistakes. But any mistakes I make will only affect my own pod, as it's just me in w-space at the moment. Well, not just me, as there's a proliferation of Sleepers in the home system, with another new site today, ...

Return to the radar

Friday, March 22nd, 2013

So we've spooked a pair of ratting battlecruisers, and a potential gasser in the process. Now what? Well, I'm in a class 2 w-space system, entered from a K162 in high-sec, and there's at least a static wormhole to class 3 w-space to find, if not the system the Drakes ...
