Exploring behind combat

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

Curse my timing. In trying to moderate my time in space and be a more rounded capsuleer I have managed to miss out on colleagues popping not only a Loki strategic cruiser engaging Sleepers but also a Crane transport ship out collecting planet goo. Hopefully I haven't missed all the ...

Mangling a Manticore

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

Whilst I've been watching what may well be a cardboard cut-out of a Bestower there has been some activity behind me. The class 2 w-space system I scanned my through to get to this boring class 3 system has woken up, glorious leader Fin following in behind me in her ...

Isolated Sleeper combat

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

There is movement afoot in a nearby class 4 w-space system. An Anathema covert operations boat may be headed my way, spotted by glorious leader Fin sitting on the K162 connection between our neighbouring C3 and the C4. She has scouted the system and seen a couple of combat ships ...

Dodging Dominix

Monday, June 6th, 2011

Lots of ships could mean activity, but most of them are merely parked. A new class 3 w-space system to explore holds a Brutix battlecruiser, Buzzard covert operations boat, three Dominix battleships, a Drake battlecruiser, two Raven battleships, a Scorpion battleship, and a Scythe cruiser for Mick to see on ...

Stinging a Scorpion

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Glorious leader Fin's trying to clear some gas, so I think it's best I leave the system for a bit. The static wormhole is easy to find, perhaps a bug surfacing in the Sleepers' technology causing it to appear in the same place as yesterday, and I jump in to ...

Scanning and collapsing

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

Sites are popping up everywhere in the home system. Our recent spate of invaders has calmed down, no longer rampaging through our system whilst we sleep, stealing profit that we'd never realise anyway, and the local concentrations of rocks and gas are beginning to build up again. I am mostly ...

A night of logistics

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

The wormhole I've resolved seems awfully fat as a signature. I suspect it to be a K162, as wormhole exits tend to be easier to detect than entrances, but I can't see any other connections in our home w-space system. As I scan Fin turns up, which lets me warp ...

Heron versus Proteus

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

We have an exit to high-sec empire space today. And by 'we' I mean 'Fin', because I haven't been out scanning in a while. It's been long enough that I'm thinking maybe the mechanics behind the whole interaction have been changed and I won't know what I'm doing the next... ...

Looking for missiles

Friday, March 18th, 2011

Despite only just getting home from being stranded, Fin's back out in high-sec empire space. We got the Orca home safely, and Fin transferred the hauled fuel from the industrial command ship to our tower, with overflow being stored in a hangar, giving us over a month's worth of breathing ...

Coming from the other direction

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

I wonder if we've had visitors. As the home system is not stabilising I can't be the first pilot to be here today. But maybe glorious leader Fin was busy earlier harvesting gas. There is no sign of anyone currently in the system, so I launch probes and scan, looking ...
