Chasing shadows

Friday, July 30th, 2010

There are a bunch of bookmarks waiting for me, including one to a 'heavily inhabited' class 2 w-space system, as a colleague describes it. He wants to shoot some of the occupants' ships but none of the caspuleers are coming out to play, frustrating his efforts. Instead, he ...

Missing the salvaging action

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Two corporation pilots are out in strategic cruisers. They are taking the fight to Sleepers in a class 3 system and I offer to salvage for them, but they already have help. But they note the presence of a Mammoth industrial ship in their system, so I head ...

Scanning and salvaging

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Early scanning sees me chasing the static wormhole around our system. Or, at least, its signature. I'm used to having the occasional cosmic signature be elusive but it is a new experience to need several scans to resolve the wormhole from a probabilistic ring to a single point ...

Sabotaging another salvaging operation

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Systems have been scanned, there are bookmarks waiting in the can. I make copies and follow a corporation colleague as he goes off to roam in his Arazu recon ship, choosing a Manticore stealth bomber for myself. I have visited our neighbouring class 4 system twice before, the ...

Catching a Catalyst

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

A scout through today's mapped w-space systems shows little activity. Glorious leader Fin checks the high-sec exit from the C1 system whilst I loiter nearby, and moments after she jumps through an Omen cruiser warps to the same wormhole and follows. The cruiser warps away from the high-sec ...

Kicking back in Sleeper anomalies

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

The interlopers are gone, our system is quiet. Our neighbouring class 4 w-space system has no new wormholes connecting in to it, the occupied class 2 along from that shows no activity, and neither does the empty C1 that ends the chain. We are nicely isolated from threats ...

Harrying a Hurricane

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

I go out for a roam. The earlier roam didn't find the Loki strategic cruiser, nor thankfully its friends, but I explored a few systems in the process. What I didn't do, apparently, was venture in to the connected class 1 w-space system, which is where I now ...

In the communal ship array

Friday, April 16th, 2010

As others have done, please allow me to share with you the ships I have put in the communal hangar in w-space, and like to call my own. Drake—Non-sentient Ship The passive shield tanked battlecruiser has been my staple combat ship for longer than I can remember. As soon as I ...

Back in the Damnation

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

The fleet's back, but an ISP-enforced break prevents me from collecting my Crane or Guardian from New Eden. So I'm scanning again. This time, I have Fin with me to help, which increases our competency levels by an order of magnitude. I catch up to Fin in ...

Still trying to get the fleet home

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Another day, another attempt to get the scattered fleet back in to w-space. It's not only a matter of bringing back ships and capsuleers, the tower is running low on fuel and needs to be restocked. Finding a good route to New Eden is a primary concern. ...
