Running in to a siege

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

Three extra signatures seems like a lot. Can they all be Sleepers? Yes, they can, being gas, gas, and our static wormhole, which doesn't really count as a new signature but a replacement for yesterday's. Silly me. I activate the two new ladar sites and jump to our neighbouring class ...

Oracles for two

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Home is empty, without even a glorious leader in sight. A new signature tries to keep me company but I don't want to waste time shooting rocks. Let's see what else is out there in w-space today. A single canister is visible on my directional scanner in our neighbouring class ...

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 ...

Restocking the hangar

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

Glorious leader Fin is ahead of me, sitting outside the tower in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. That makes my scouting easy, as all I have to do is pay attention as Fin tells me about the Devoter heavy interdictor and Dramiel frigate unpiloted in the tower, which itself ...

Strategic cruiser and salvager

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

Well, look what we have here. A Tengu, Drake, and Noctis, not a tower in sight, and wrecks spread all around. It looks like I was hasty in assuming this class 1 w-space system was uninteresting, after finding six ships all unpiloted inside a tower. Warping to the outer reaches ...

Shoot first, think later

Friday, January 13th, 2012

There are four signatures to scan at home, and they all look a bit different to what I'm expecting. No matter, four is not a big number, which I'm pretty sure about even with my shown deficiencies with counting, and resolving them all is short work. I bookmark a magnetometric ...

Two-pronged ambush

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

'I just jumped', says my glorious leader as I arrive. I wonder aloud if I startled her, then laugh at my own joke, before launching scanning probes so I can find our static wormhole and join Fin in an occupied but empty class 3 w-space system. It's my third visit ...

Incidental null-sec ratting

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Early exploration finds the home system clear, but not recently. Most of our anomalies are missing, no doubt purged by a passing fleet. Still, even if we don't get the profit from the indigenous Sleepers the system looks much tidier this way, leaving me with only a new ladar site ...

Salvaging Sleepers and stealth bombers

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

Nom nom nom, I wonder if anyone's appeared in our neighbouring class 3 system yet. I can't say for sure, but I know that glorious leader Fin is in our w-space home. She reports that the two ageing wormholes I resolved earlier have died, which should prevent angry strategic cruisers ...

More low-sec hacking

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

Early reconnaissance worked out well for me the last time I did it, so having enough time to spare today I am out early again, scanning and scouting the w-space constellation. The home system looks clear, although three sites have spawned during my short absence from space. I resolve and ...
