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 ...

Flying a mixed fleet against Sleepers

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Our neighbouring system has been scanned, but no further. Keeping the class 4 w-space system's static wormhole closed gives us the opportunity to make some profit from wrecked Sleeper ships with less likelihood of being interrupted. A remote-repair battleship fleet is assembled, with two Ravens, a Scorpion, and ...

The only difference between a Basilisk and Guardian is the Guardian’s not on fire

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Probes on the directional scanner halts a corporation fleet's Sleeper engagement. The fleet changes from remote-repairing battleships to PvP ships and seeks the source of the scanning probes. A Rifter frigate in the neighbouring system is suggestive but is likely bait. Jumping through to the next system ...

Collapsing a wormhole as a trap

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Only two bookmarks greet me when I look inside our shared cannister. Both bookmarks point to wormholes, both in our system. We have our usual static connection heading out to a class 4 w-space system and an incoming wormhole, also from a class 4 system. There are ...

Piracy in a Zephyr

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

I will go back. The Scorpion has seen me leave, I have seen an unfinished anomaly on d-scan, and I have reloaded my stealth bomber. There is a slim chance I can cause more mayhem. The first step is to see if the Scorpion battleship has moved ...

Ventilating a Vexor

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

The previous static wormhole is dead, I must find the new one to begin today's adventure. Jumping through the static wormhole, once resolved, reveals only celestial bodies within range of the directional scanner, plus one giant secure can. I launch probes and prepare to scan, bookmarking the wormhole ...

Struggling to find the energy

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

The static wormhole is on the verge of collapse. It is not the work of others trying to keep us out this time, but a lack of anything to do provoking corporation members to try to collapse the wormhole themselves. The operation isn't quite as successful as it ...

Collapsing wormholes for profit

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

I'm early, but not that early. The previous static wormhole has gone and I delete all my bookmarks to start again. A colleague is out and scanning, helping me to ignore a handful of signatures quickly, and we track down our static wormhole easily enough. The neighbouring ...

Surprising a salvager

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

It's good to be motivated. Our scan man isn't able to return home from empire space using yesterday's route so I can go out to scan for a new route. My newly acquired Sister's scanning probes will come in handy, thanks to the Heron pilot who unwillingly donated ...

Finding an exit and more

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

It is late and the system is quiet. I am thinking of resting for the night, but our stranded pilot asks nicely of no one in particular if a little time could be spent scanning. I am rather addicted to piloting spaceships and agree to help. I find our ...
