Hacking and analysing in the Damnation

Monday, August 30th, 2010

A fleet is formed and heading out. There is a radar site to pillage for profit and I tag along in Hack Hackz Maru, my Damnation command ship refitted with codebreakers. A salvaging destroyer will be following behind us, so I refit my ship to replace the salvaging ...

Exploration ends in Sleeper combat

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

I'm waiting for the wormhole to die. The bookmark pointing to it conveniently has a time in its notation and the longevity of wormholes in our home system lets me know when to expect the imminent collapse. I am not morbid enough today to sit and watch the ...

More comfortably plundering a class 5 w-space system

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Our static wormhole has been killed and scouts are now out exploring the new connections. So far we have our neighbouring class 4 system leading in to a chain of two class 5 systems. There are no targets and so a fleet forms to engage Sleepers for more ...

Bumping in to rocks in space

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Our pilots have a need to make some iskies. A fleet is currently engaging Sleepers in our home system and planning to continue in our neighbouring class 4 w-space system, afterwards opening the wormhole in that system in the hopes of finding more. I am happy to join ...

Damnation to Guardian against the Sleepers

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

I turn up at just the right moment for Sleeper combat. And, for me, the right moment is after the fleet has jumped in to the next system, as that means I am not chosen to pilot one of the Guardian logistic ships. I don't mind flying the ...

The only difference between a Basilisk and Guardian is the Guardian’s not on fire

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Probes on the directional scanner halts a corporation fleet's Sleeper engagement. The fleet changes from remote-repairing battleships to PvP ships and seeks the source of the scanning probes. A Rifter frigate in the neighbouring system is suggestive but is likely bait. Jumping through to the next system ...

Collapsing a wormhole as a trap

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Only two bookmarks greet me when I look inside our shared cannister. Both bookmarks point to wormholes, both in our system. We have our usual static connection heading out to a class 4 w-space system and an incoming wormhole, also from a class 4 system. There are ...

Testing the fleet in a class 5 w-space system

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

The corporation fleet has the opportunity to test itself. We live in a class 4 w-space system and generally engage Sleepers at this level or below. Today our neighbourhood holds a class 5 w-space system with a catacylismic variable phenomenon, which increases remote repair rates and capacitor capacity, ...

Giving up an ambush for Sleepers

Monday, June 21st, 2010

I'm going to be nosy next door. Our static connection has been opened and the bookmark dropped, but little else seems to be scanned. I jump in to the neighbouring class 4 w-space system and check my directional scanner. Seeing only celestial bodies I launch probes and ...

Introducing the salvaging Damnation

Monday, June 14th, 2010

It's all quiet, I go out scanning alone. My exploration to find activity starts slowly when jumping through the static connection fails owing to the exit wormhole stabilising, a sure indication that no one is in the system on the other side. I have visited this C4 system ...
