Simple scanning and scaring the neighbours

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

I'm not feeling up to much this evening, but I can at least take a look around. There's nothing to see at home, and not much more in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A tower is visible on my directional scanner but no ships, and as there's nowhere out ...

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 ...

Two Hulks, one point

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Look at all of these anomalies. It looks like we are due a passing fleet any day now. Until then, I'll be my own passing fleet of one, scanning my way out of the home w-space system and in to our neighbouring class 3 system. There's not much to see ...

Obstructing a null-sec short-cut

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

I'm by myself again, with an urge to find some company. Two unexpected signatures in the home system may provide it, particularly as one is a wormhole in addition to our static connection. The other signature is just some dumb rocks, which I activate. The second wormhole is a K162 ...

A miss and a hit

Monday, December 5th, 2011

There's an interceptor in our home system. I don't feel threatened, though, as the Malediction is bearing the name Sad Panda and is sharing my otherwise empty directional scanner reading with a jet-can. Fin's hunting that errant canister down again. As she gets closer, but still days away from the ...

Bouncing battleship

Friday, October 28th, 2011

Activate! Setting some gas to self-destruct is more boring than it sounds, merely warping in to the new ladar site in the home system for it to decay a within the next few days. There's a second new signature to be resolved too, which turns out to be a magnetometric ...

Either too quiet or too busy

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

My magnetic personality continues to work its charm, except for somehow reversing the polarity and repulsing instead of attracting other pilots. Alone in our empty home w-space system I scan for wormholes. I have six bookmarks to sites I know about, and there are seven signatures to be found in ...

Malinterception

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

There are lots of wormholes today, and directions to all of them are available in convenient bookmark form. I copy the bookmarks to the nav-comp of my Manticore stealth bomber and go out for a roam. 'But no one in space', Mick tells me as I leave. We'll see about ...

Death comes quick

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

The reckless miners are tooling up. A Rattlesnake battleship and Drake battlecruiser are piloted at the tower in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, along with two other pilots in a Covetor mining barge and Anathema covert operations boat. But none of them are active. I suppose they could have ...

Scanning for targets

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

The galaxy has been reset and is ripe for scanning. It looks like the irrepressible Fin has been here before the reset and has scanned the neighbouring systems, leaving some handy bookmarks for me to copy. Instead of looking mostly for wormholes I can instead go out scouting ...
