Rattling a 'snake

Friday, July 26th, 2013

Penny, bane of planet-gooers, is coming for your hauler. Resolving our static wormhole and jumping through finds a rather better target visible, though. My directional scanner is showing me a Rattlesnake faction battleship and drones, with no sign of a tower in range. I don't see any wrecks, which isn't ...

Gaining attention in low-sec

Wednesday, February 27th, 2013

I see a Fin and some corporate bookmarks. What's happening? 'Nothing', my glorious leader says, telling me that she's collected planet goo and is turning her attention to some laboratory operations and tower reconfigurations she's busying herself with. I know industry isn't quite as exciting as roaming, but I wouldn't ...

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, ...

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 ...

Missing gassers, getting fuel

Wednesday, December 12th, 2012

I return on-line some time after my sammich, but in the same w-space day. Nothing is happening in the home system, not even faux-blue pilots stealing our iskies, but I have the start of a constellation to roam, so jump to our neighbouring class 3 system. It's still unoccupied, still ...

Staying out of trouble with my scouting

Monday, October 29th, 2012

'C4a may be gone. It was EOL.' I didn't know we had a connection to class 4 w-space, but warping across the home system sees the K162 wormhole still there and still wobbling away at the end of its life. My glorious leader is through our static wormhole and scanning ...

Distressing the neighbours

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

I jump from C3b to C2d, and warp across the system to return to C2a. W-space has provided me with some thrills already, as Fin and I executed an unorthodox and improvised ambush against an escorted Exequror cruiser. The gasser got away, but other side thought they'd engineered the situation ...

Brawling with battlecruisers

Friday, August 24th, 2012

'The wormhole's dead', I tell Shev. Not that it really matters, I suppose, as scanning a system a minute after I collapsed a connection to a dead constellation is the same as scanning the system fresh. I don't think he's had his morning Quafe with added caffeine yet either, so ...

Scanning through the w-space constellation

Tuesday, July 24th, 2012

Returning from a short break planetside I'm keen to see if anything has changed. Mick's gone back to our sister class 5 w-space system for a start, but otherwise space looks just about the same. Fin's roaming through a constellation scanned on Mick's earlier exit, confirming the death of a ...

Showing no mercy

Friday, June 29th, 2012

I need different ammunition for my Loki, which means another trip to empire space. One strategic cruiser will have to wait for another, though, as it's all quiet at home, Fin's here, and the system is bustling with Sleepers. We could probably do with making some ISK, at least to ...
