Dying leads to death

Tuesday, March 19th, 2013

It's been a few hours since the curious incident of the exploding planet gooer, so what's changed? For a start, our static wormhole is now in its end-of-life stage and has been destabilised to half-mass. That it is EOL can be explained by the wormhole no doubt having been opened ...

Getting lucky with gassers

Thursday, January 3rd, 2013

The early Penny catches the planet gooer, so the traditional saying goes. It seems to have worked out for me in the past, so I'm awake in the home w-space system, scanning for wormholes, to see if I can find an unawares pilot to ambush. And would you look at ...

Fracturing a frigate

Leaving the class 3 w-space system for high-sec takes me to a system in Metropolis, and puts me close to nothing. The Mammoth hauler that returned to C3a must have had a long trip, or paid over the odds for the silos he brought home. But that capsuleer's gone off-line, ...

Missing ships is understandable, missing a tower is careless

I've made my decision. There's no point heading back through the wormhole that leads me to reds, not after I have taken a pot-shot at one of them and have concluded that they are waiting for me. That pretty much leaves me one direction to travel, although I suppose I ...

Sleepers and scanning

Saturday, November 10th, 2012

All looks quiet as I come on-line, which is good. A check of the home system shows the static wormhole being the only signature present, which gives me time to fiddle with the medal interface. I don't think we make much use of the ISK-sink, but the brief morale boost ...

Mangling a Merlin mashing

Fin's next door, but through a K162 to more class 4 w-space and not our static connection. 'No one's home, but they don't run their sites anyway.' As she scans for further K162s I head to our unvisited neighbouring class 3 system. Seven scanning probes light up my directional scanner, ...

Lightening the load

Saturday, June 23rd, 2012

The class 3 w-space system I'm in is quiet. It's not our neighbouring system though, as I've already strayed and had a bit of adventure so far tonight. I suspect popping a Badger, and then a salvaging Thrasher and hacking Manticore, has exhausted my options in this direction, so I ...

Looking for rats and finding trouble

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

Both the static wormhole and glorious leader Fin have collapsed. Fin orchestrated collapsing the wormhole before deciding it was already late enough. I'm keen to take another look around w-space in the hopes of finding an exit close to Jita so I can buy a new and expensive toy. I ...

Running the gauntlet of empty w-space

Monday, February 20th, 2012

After yesterday's shenanigans I think I'd better swing by our tower to see if it's still there. Popping the Noctis of a significant fleet to deny them a good hundred million ISK in profit may have caused some ire in them, but it's good to see they haven't taken it ...

Accidentally finding the fleet

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Whee, skill queue updated! One of these days I may even get to use a new skill, maybe some of these new-fangled guns I keep hearing about. They're like missiles, but use capacitor energy, have difficulty tracking fast-moving objects, and have confusing ammunition requirements. I can't wait! For now, I'll ...
