Leaving combat to meet a hauler

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

I'm back, what's cooking? A fuel BPO, which is apt for my apparently off-hand comment. Apart from that, I imagine we're sandwiched between two systems of absent pilots. Glorious leader Fin confirms that for our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, but jumping through the K162 in our home system to ...

Miners and Sleepers

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

Fin's here but not here, floating in her isolation chamber for a few minutes. I'll scan the home system. A new signature is revealed by my probes, today being a second wormhole for a change, a K162 coming from class 4 w-space. Hoping for some activity I jump through the ...

Following behind a Bestower

Monday, January 9th, 2012

Home alone, there aren't even intruders here. I am kept company by two new signatures, some ISO standard rocks and ZVQ gas, although the signature identifier for the gas doesn't fit in to a pun quite as well as that of the rocks and pretty much ruins a snappy start ...

Chasing gets me chased

Friday, December 30th, 2011

I'm out for a quick poke around w-space, to see if anyone is being careless. Not at home they're not, where all is as expected. I resolve our static wormhole and jump through. The neighbouring class 3 system looks imposing, with three stealth bombers and one well-equipped tower visible on ...

Straight-line scanning

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

An empty home system is a good place to start an evening's quiet exploration. Rocks and gas that appeared earlier in the week have dissipated, leaving me with some newly clustered rocks to ignore and a static wormhole to jump through. The designation of our neighbouring class 3 w-space system ...

Housewarming in the cold of space

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

I'm fed and watered, and ready to see if my earlier reconnaissance will reap any rewards. Before I get carried away looking for targets I launch probes and scan the home system, ensuring I'm not about to be made a target myself. No new connections have opened up here, so ...

Ransacking a radar site in low-sec

Monday, December 12th, 2011

An empty system is a quiet system. I'll see if I can find one not quite so empty, which means scanning our home first. After a minor absence a couple of anomalies have reappeared, the rocks are gone, and I'm left with a single signature to resolve. There is nothing ...

Crashing a corpse recovery

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Hello, Mr Drake. A new battlecruiser has appeared in the tower of our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, which I find out only on a cursory check whilst on my way home to collapse our static wormhole. The constellation has looked boring so far, glorious leader Fin already shoving an ...

A miss and a hit

Monday, December 5th, 2011

There's an interceptor in our home system. I don't feel threatened, though, as the Malediction is bearing the name Sad Panda and is sharing my otherwise empty directional scanner reading with a jet-can. Fin's hunting that errant canister down again. As she gets closer, but still days away from the ...

Keeping home clear

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

Ok, let's see what's out there today! Intruders, apparently, once again pillaging our sites of specific Sleeper interest. I only notice when my combat scanning probes pick up more ships than I expect, plus some drones, at which point I switch to my directional scanner to see an Apocalypse and ...
