Making back some iskies

Friday, April 13th, 2012

I've suffered more losses than got kills recently. Or it feels that way, anyway. Maybe they haven't been entirely unexpected, what with flying in to waiting fleets or engaging obvious bait, and I have mitigated each loss by flying what I know I can afford to lose, but I still ...

So long, and thanks for all the loot!

Monday, March 26th, 2012

Okay, so I'm heading home for the night after an evening of exploration, but I'm not going to stop there immediately. There are two K162s connecting in to our home system and it would be irresponsible not to take a quick look through both of them to see if the ...

Plenty to watch, little to shoot

Saturday, March 24th, 2012

Gah, I'm crippled by skill-queue indecision again! I managed to find a skill that I use daily somehow only trained to level III to fill up my queue a few days ago, but now I have to fill it up once more. There are quite a few skills that I could ...

Take the loot and run

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

All looks clear at home, but only for a minute. I cloak, check my skill queue, and take a second look at my directional scanner to see a Tengu strategic cruiser and Drake battlecruiser are nearby. Tweaking d-scan's settings also finds Sleeper wrecks, showing definite signs that these two ships ...

Bumbling a bombing

Saturday, March 17th, 2012

'Reset to factory defaults?' I'd rather not, no, but I'd also quite like to fly in space without suffering blackouts either when stalking or actually in combat, thanks. I'm not looking forwards to adjusting every single information panel, communications channel, and other associated windows again, but it looks like it ...

To rat or to, uh, sleep?

Sunday, March 11th, 2012

Fin's just jumped through our static wormhole when I arrive. I warp across the home system to join my glorious leader in seeing what w-space has in store for us today. A familiar system waits beyond the wormhole, it being my fourth visit here, with the last only six weeks ...

Spotted planning an ambush

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

It's a beautiful but mysterious process. I see scanning probes in the home system, leave for a few minutes, and return for them to have metamorphosed in to a rampaging fleet of destruction. It's nature's wonder, really. This time, the fleet consists of seven Tengu strategic cruisers and a single ...

Scouting and selling loot

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012

The first step in exploration is getting out of the home system. That's pretty easy to accomplish with two wormholes here, our static connection to class 3 w-space and a K162 from class 4 w-space. I'll go backwards, hoping to run in to activity early in the evening. A Noctis ...

Bringing back the Sleeper salvage

Monday, March 5th, 2012

I'm out for some early reconnaissance again, looking for opportunities now to create mayhem later. I may not need to look far soon, as the home system is getting crowded and may well attract a passing fleet to cull our Sleeper population growth, but today I have to scan my ...

Racking up the ISK from Sleepers

Friday, February 24th, 2012

I'm back in w-space after a couple of days of shore leave. Launching scanning probes lets me see what's changed, seeing some anomalies returning to the home system after the latest fleet romped through here, but otherwise everything looks the same. And here's my glorious leader, arriving just as I ...
