Muffing a Myrmidon murder

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

There is not much space to explore today. A scout relays the local w-space constellation as leading from home to a class 4 system, in to a class 1, and then exiting to null-sec space. I board my Manticore stealth bomber, copy the bookmarks available, and head out ...

Roaming w-space

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

The w-space constellation is already scanned and mapped. I can take my Manticore stealth bomber out directly, each wormhole on the route located and bookmarked. I am warned of a cloaking Tengu strategic cruiser having been spotted roaming around, which is good to know in advance. Our ...

Interrupting an Iteron

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Sleepers are being ravaged, a corporation fleet of five strategic cruisers blasting their way through anomalies in a class 4 w-space system. It sounds like they have enough firepower, so I get an update on our current constellation. A class 2 system connects in to our home system, ...

ECM system check

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I spy some bookmarks in our shared can. Being able to jump straight in to my Manticore stealth bomber to roam the day's w-space constellation is convenient. But warping to where our static wormhole should be only finds empty space. It looks like I'll need to scan ...

Caught by a Crow

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

'There's sites to be done' and without a full fleet in sight. I eagerly launch Pengu, my Tengu strategic cruiser, and declare myself ready! We warp to our static wormhole and jump in to today's neighbouring class 4 w-space system, its own static connection scanned but left unopen ...

Harassing a Heron

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Wormholes die regularly. The static connection in our neighbouring w-space system finally reaches the end of its life and collapses, the uncertainty of its continued existence no longer preventing us from exploring further. But instead of finding the new wormhole straight away we leave it undiscovered, and therefore ...

Revenge outside a tower

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

My Onyx is gone but my pod is safe. Instead of licking my wounds I am going back in to our neighbouring w-space system in a Manticore stealth bomber, accompanied by my current partner-in-crime in his Hound. It is unlikely that our targets will resume normal activities and ...

Counter-strike

Friday, August 20th, 2010

A new day means a new wormhole to find. I am hoping my early scanning will catch some capusleers being rather more cavalier about their attitudes to the directional scanner than in busier periods. But most of the time early scanning only results in empty w-space systems until ...

In the shadow of a Thrasher

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Tyrannis deployed and brought with it planetary interaction, and I was mostly oblivious to the changes. Most significantly I didn't know that customs offices could be seen on the overview and thus travelled to directly. I thought perhaps they were moderately private locations that only the owner knew ...

Heron hounding

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

I'm going out to roam, and I'm not alone. Another scout is ahead of me in his Proteus strategic cruiser, looking for targets. The three class 4 w-space systems linked as a chain to our home system are quiet, the C5 further along only showing a glimmer of ...
