Two days is my limit

Monday, June 27th, 2011

Empire space, day two. I take my Drake out for more missions, to make more ISK and increase my security status a little bit more. I forgot about security status gains yesterday, which are a nice benefit. Unfortunately, it still looks like I will be making a loss today, as ...

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 ...

Green tick for some, not for others

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Getting back to the corporation tower in w-space, I notice our new recruit is out mining in the system. The directional scanner finds his Retriever mining barge in the system, which I recognise by its name, as well as picking up the presence of a few jet-cans. I ...

Chasing crokite

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

It's a quiet evening in w-space that doesn't require any scanning for a change. But a lack of scanning and combat can only mean it's time for a mining operation. I prepare my still-not-quite-destroyed Retriever and head out with a couple of other pilots to find some bistot. ...

Duelling bistots

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

When one wormhole closes, another one opens. At least, let's hope so, as a wormhole collapses behind our colleague. He passes in to a class 5 w-space system connected to our home system, only to find the occupants actively destabilising the wormhole. It's good he is out ...

Bistot and a Buzzard

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

It's another quiet evening mining arkonor. Of course, being in w-space, mining could lead to being ambushed by stealth bombers, your own corporation colleagues on manoeuvres, or the inevitable space madness. Luckily, I have a companion with me who is actually skilled at shooting rocks. I still ...

Vigilant mining

Friday, November 20th, 2009

It's another quiet evening mining in w-space. Even the Sleeper 'roid rats appear a considerate 80 km away from my Retriever, giving me plenty of time to warp away. The Sleepers are quickly dealt with in my Drake, and cleaned up in a Cormorant, and I settle down back ...

Klingon manoeuvres

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Patience is a virtue, and capsuleers of stealth bombers need to have it in abundance. Sitting in their lair of a quiet pocket of space, waiting for unsuspecting pilots to wander in to the kill zone, stealth bombers are not ships for the impatient. I can't be entirely ...

Avoiding an ambush

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

There is some excitement in the wormhole engineers channel. It seems I turn up shortly after a Curse is popped and its pilot podded, and there is much adrenaline being pumped around. I would be more excited if I knew what a Curse is, still not really doing ...

Damnation test flight

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

W-space beckons my new Damnation. The new connecting w-space system to our own leads out to high-sec space, so it is an easy journey to pilot Bad Badtz Maru to the corporation tower. So far, though, all I have done is fit the Damnation and fly it through ...
