Hauling haulers

Saturday, May 18th, 2013

No one's home, but a bookmark has been left for me. It looks to point towards our static wormhole, which ostensibly should save time. I'll still scan, of course, as new signatures could have cropped up, but if I get the expected number of sites it will be trivial to ...

Cracking open a Corax

Saturday, May 11th, 2013

I could use some company. No one's at home, the anomaly-stealers nowhere to be seen, so I'll scan for wormholes and look for some play friends. A second wormhole to go with our static connection could be promising, but the K162 from class 2 w-space is at the end of ...

Quiet night of scanning

Saturday, May 4th, 2013

Sites have been sucked, or left to dissipate. None of my bookmarks remain current, giving me a blank slate for the night, but that doesn't stop a proliferation of sites since I last scanned the home system. Eight signatures await the attention of my probes, and as I'm in the ...

Leaping before I look

Saturday, April 27th, 2013

First item on the agenda tonight is to kill our static wormhole. I'm not even going to check the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, as it was unoccupied and empty earlier. And although new wormholes may have opened in to the system, potentially bringing capsuleers hauling loot or popping Sleepers, ...

Ratting’s no substitute for adventure

Friday, March 29th, 2013

What am I going to find today? Bookmarks for both sides of our static wormhole, for a start, but let's hope it gets better than that. A quick scan of the home system sees no changes in the hour since the bookmarks were made, by colleague unknown, so I jump ...

Refining the art of collapsing a wormhole

Saturday, March 9th, 2013

Collapsing a wormhole is a curious art. I got the hang of it better when I reversed my calculations. Instead of relying on how much mass I was putting through the wormhole, I started thinking about how little mass was left on the wormhole. Now, I know they kinda sound ...

Ending in class 2 w-space systems

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

I come back from evading some low-sec pirates to see Fin is half-way to collapsing our wormhole. Good job. She stays in the Widow black ops ship to finish the operation. I board an Orca industrial command ship, so that when I get isolated I'll be stuck in low-sec with ...

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, ...

Scan, collapse, scan

Wednesday, February 6th, 2013

With no activity at home, and only the single signature in the system, I have but one direction to go. I resolve our static wormhole and jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, looking for trouble. A clear directional scanner doesn't offer much, but it does let me launch ...

Known space is boring space

Monday, January 28th, 2013

A more regular start to my day has me arriving at the usual time, to the usual sight. It's just me in the home system, as far as I can tell. Launching probes and scanning finds no intruders, blue or otherwise, and a couple of new signatures to resolve. A ...
