Sucking at gas

Sunday, February 24th, 2013

'...getting all explodey in the Widow.' Um, what have I stumbled in to? 'Nothing to see here', says Fin, 'and don't look at our recent losses'. I'll try not to, although curiosity gets the better of me and I see the death of my black ops ship. Poor Neko Ninja, ...

Successful scanning sends us a ship

Monday, September 24th, 2012

Fin's here, which is always a good sign. A lack of bookmarks may indicate she's currently gassing it up, but it turns out that she's just arrived and is launching scanning probes, just like me. That's just a coincidence, though, and we're probably not the same person. Yesterday's new pocket ...

Finding the right hole

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

Mission: find targets continues where it left off yesterday. I have no support from Fin or Aii at the moment, but that just lets me scout ahead and get in to position for their arrival. I scan the home system, activate a new ladar site, and jump through our static ...

Plenty to watch, little to shoot

Saturday, March 24th, 2012

Gah, I'm crippled by skill-queue indecision again! I managed to find a skill that I use daily somehow only trained to level III to fill up my queue a few days ago, but now I have to fill it up once more. There are quite a few skills that I could ...

Bringing back the Sleeper salvage

Monday, March 5th, 2012

I'm out for some early reconnaissance again, looking for opportunities now to create mayhem later. I may not need to look far soon, as the home system is getting crowded and may well attract a passing fleet to cull our Sleeper population growth, but today I have to scan my ...

Shoot first, think later

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 ...

Starting with scanning, selling, and stocking

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

I'm out for some early reconnaissance, looking to map the w-space constellation before others wake up and blithely warp around in haulers made of little more than tinfoil. It's interesting to find a second wormhole in the home system today, until I warp to it and see it is merely ...

Titanic exploration

Saturday, August 13th, 2011

Our tower's looking awfully sparse. There's only an unanchored hangar floating near a couple of haulers and I'm sure we had more infrastructure than that here. The good news is that we haven't been hit by a master thief and that the strip-down of our tower is nearly complete. It ...

Stopping salvaging and ganking gassing

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

'The wormhole's being stubborn, it's refusing to die.' And so starts another potentially dull night in w-space. There are, apparently, 'no other signatures, anomalies, or anything' in our home system, and there's little point venturing out through a wormhole on its last legs unless I relish the adventure in waiting ...

One site at a time

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

Fully fed, I get back in my ship to glorious leader Fin reporting a sighting of a Probe name 'Lost in EVE' on her directional scanner in the C3. Maybe this means a K162 wormhole has opened in to the system, offering more opportunity for exploration and perhaps combat. I ...
