Holding back

Sunday, May 19th, 2013

Empty ships and Sleeper explosions yesterday. What today? For a start, a second wormhole in the home system crops up in my scanning results, giving me a class 2 w-space system to explore beyond the K162. And jumping through sees a small fleet on my directional scanner. A peculiar fleet, ...

Bagging some booty through bubbles

Friday, February 15th, 2013

Excuse me a moment. I just have to plug in a new implant. Oh yeah, 10% more scanning strength. That's well worth training cybernetics up to level V. And I have my glorious leader to thank for the gift, which is awfully generous of her. Here she is, too, just as ...

More than a cov-ops or two

Sunday, February 3rd, 2013

Hello, I don't remember core scanning probes being in this class 6 system. And here was me thinking that w-space was empty and boring again. Still, the probes could just belong to one of the two covert operations boats I saw piloted in a tower in an adjoining class 3 ...

Backwards and forwards through w-space

Monday, January 21st, 2013

A short poke around w-space to look for targets starts out positively, with an unexpected wormhole in the home system. Glorious leader Fin has resolved and bookmarked our static connection, leaving it unvisited, which lets me identify the other wormhole with ease. Warping to it sees a K162 from more ...

Caught between reds and blues

Wednesday, September 19th, 2012

Aii's in our neighbouring system, scanning amongst 'lots of towers, four piloted ships'. That sounds good to me. I poke the home system to confirm there are no new connections, then head through our static wormhole to join my colleague. Four towers light up my directional scanner from the K162, ...

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 ...

Hunt, shoot, rat

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

Hey, w-space, how about throwing a hauler my way today? A bookmark to our static wormhole is a help, thank you mystery scout, letting me get to exploring the constellation with little delay. But jumping to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has nothing visible on my directional scanner, and ...

Buying a ship and leaving it docked

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

I need a new stealth bomber after recklessly losing it to obvious bait. Um, I mean, heroically protecting the home system from invaders intent on stealing gas that we were never going to harvest anyway. Buying a new Manticore shouldn't be a chore, though. All I have to do is ...

Enemy connection

Thursday, April 5th, 2012

It's quiet out there. Not too-quiet-I'm-about-to-get-horribly-killed quiet, but Fin's connection is still less stable than an Amarrian ship's capacitor. I'm flying mostly solo for now, so hopefully I don't get too reckless in losing strategic cruisers. And it's not so quiet at home as to deny extra exploration opportunities, there ...

Lots of ships, little opportunity

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

I'm home alone, but happy that home is once again w-space. I launch probes and scan, just looking for a little reconnaissance of today's constellation, finding two wormholes in our home system. The addition to our static connection to class 3 w-space is a K162 coming from a class 5 ...
