Blink and you miss it

Tuesday, July 1st, 2014

The class 3 w-space system has been subdued. The Venture mining frigate we nearly caught returns to the tower, the pilot stutters, and goes off-line. It's time to scan properly. There are four anomalies and twelve signatures, two of which we know about. One is our K162, the other the ...

Aligned and zipping

Friday, June 6th, 2014

A new day, a new constellation. Only the one signature in the home system makes my first step straightforward, and I jump through our static wormhole to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. My directional scanner is clear from the other side of the wormhole, with two of the system's ...

Scouting scouting boats

Tuesday, April 1st, 2014

Fin's here, but is she really here? Judging by bookmarks pointing to a K162 from class 4 w-space and the originating side of that wormhole, I'm guessing not. 'I was not going to do anything stupid', my glorious leader says on seeing my coming on-line. Yeah, she's probably in the ...

Anathema to w-space exploration

Monday, March 24th, 2014

I'm starting from scratch. All the old, known sites have disappeared from the home system, new signatures have appeared, and no one is around. What have I got in the system with me? A bit of gas, some relics, and one wormhole. Well, maybe our neighbouring class 3 w-space system ...

Why am I scanning?

Saturday, February 22nd, 2014

There's bountiful gas for Aii to harvest, my colleague coming on-line shortly after I do. But the one other signature that requires checking in the home system resolves to be a second wormhole, which isn't good. Well, it isn't good for Aii, who may not want to suck gas in ...

Buzzing a Buzzard

Wednesday, January 29th, 2014

If I can't kill a mining barge, I'll vent my frustration by killing our wormhole. I take an Orca through to the class 3 w-space system and back home, the industrial command ship no doubt making a good dent in the wormhole's mass allowance. Next I take out a Widow ...

Can't crash, won't crash

Monday, January 27th, 2014

It's still just me in the home w-space system. I'll have to make my own entertainment. My plan to resolve our static wormhole and jump to the neighbouring class 3 system goes awry, though. Making it part step one of the plan is pretty good for us, but I drop ...

Mourning the mystery of w-space

Thursday, January 2nd, 2014

There may be no one home, but one new signature is here to keep me company. Hello, new signature, would you like to do something? Oh, you're a pocket of gas. You know, I just remembered I need to be somewhere else. Our neighbouring class 3 system, in fact. I'll ...

Home is where we're not

Thursday, December 19th, 2013

'A couple of Dominices are poking around C3a.' A pair of battleships in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system is interesting enough to get me alert. Maybe a Widow black ops ship and one of our Legion strategic cruisers will be effective against them? HR agrees and swaps in to ...

Isolation and return

Tuesday, December 10th, 2013

Our industrialists are on-line. What's happening? 'Nada. C3 was dead. Low-sec had pirates camping a gate.' My glorious leader Fin indicates that our current options are pretty limited. Shall we collapse our wormhole and clear some anomalies for fun and profit? 'Sounds like a plan.' Let's do it. My glorious ...
