Data for a good cause

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

There's a Badger hauler on my directional scanner, which I suspect is collecting planet goo. I won't chase it, though, as it is only glorious leader Fin making the rounds in our home system. But it means there has been no scanning done yet, our bookmark can lying empty, so ...

Exploring the vacuum

Friday, May 13th, 2011

Oh look, our tower's still here, and completely intact. I suppose the foul-mouthed null-seccers didn't consider us worth bothering, or didn't want to sully their ships by being in w-space for longer than necessary. Either way, it's business as usual, and I get my Buzzard covert operations boat out to ...

Collapsing wormholes

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

I have a new mail waiting for me today. It seems the pilot I podded, after popping her Manticore stealth bomber, has added me as a contact with terrible standing. Aww, that's so sweet, to know someone out there cares so much. 'We've reached out and touched a fellow capsuleer', ...

Legions and pulsars don't mix

Saturday, March 19th, 2011

I can be pretty absent-minded at times. Fin's gone out to empire space to buy something new and shiny, and I'm sitting inside our tower spinning my Legion strategic cruiser around, musing with colleagues over its fit and the special modifications I've made. The effect of the pulsar phenomenon in ...

Avoiding action

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

Scary ships greet me when I jump in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. Thankfully not directly, but my directional scanner shows a Broadsword heavy interdictor, Muninn heavy assault ship, Kitsune electronic attack ship, and some other equally threatening ships. I am not sure what the others were only ...

You can't park there, sir

Monday, May 31st, 2010

The contents of the bookmarks can look interesting today. I copy them all in to my Buzzard's systems and head out to explore. Our home system's bookmarked static wormhole is present and stable, signalling the bookmarks are current, and I jump through to the class 4 system. ...

Bumping in to an acquaintance

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Our scan man is out scanning, assessing potential threats before we consider clearing some sites of specific Sleeper interest. Today's neighbouring system is unoccupied, which is a good start, but the next system along has a tower with a Moa and Buzzard inside its shields. We will need ...

Disturbing a Drake

Monday, April 26th, 2010

A potential target presents itself early. An ally is guided out of our system back to empire space by a colleague, and on the way out he spies a Helios on a wormhole. As usual, I jump in to my Onyx heavy interdictor, and Fin accompanies me in ...

Catching a Keres

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

I'm going to rewire my brain. It must have been over a year since I took advantage of neural remapping, when it first became available, and I hoped that I wasn't making any stupid choices at the time because of the restriction of only being able to remap your ...

Harrying a Hurricane

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

I go out for a roam. The earlier roam didn't find the Loki strategic cruiser, nor thankfully its friends, but I explored a few systems in the process. What I didn't do, apparently, was venture in to the connected class 1 w-space system, which is where I now ...
