Impromptu datacore run

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Our scanning man finds an exit. We are plonked out of w-space in to low-sec, but the system has a high-sec connection, through a fancy-pants stargate no less, and is only a handful of jumps to where my Crane Tigress III is docked. Well, it's a handful if ...

Return of the Hulk

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

I have the red mist. Blowing up Sleepers for fun and profit is good, but we were so close to popping an inattentive miner that I have to go back for a second look. It is late and the fleet has dispersed but I want to see if ...

The oblivious Hulk

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

The evening starts quietly in w-space, I need to make my own entertainment. I could continue to mine the bistot that I began to chip away at in a local gravimetric site, but I'm not really in the mood to mine by myself. There are bookmarks in the ...

A couple more pets and keys

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Vulzerda has retired, Qattara is unavailable, leaving only death knight and warlock. One's an agent of chaos, serving the Lich King, the other is, uh, pretty much the same. With blackness in our hearts, we have only one path to follow: the quest for achievements! Achievements and ...

Green tick for some, not for others

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Getting back to the corporation tower in w-space, I notice our new recruit is out mining in the system. The directional scanner finds his Retriever mining barge in the system, which I recognise by its name, as well as picking up the presence of a few jet-cans. I ...

No being a ninja in the nexus of w-space

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Today's scanning finds the nexus of w-space, system J100001! It's good that simple pleasures appeal to me, because I can still get a little buzz from the system number after spending twenty minutes scanning only to be told that our scanning man has already done it. He went ...

Scanning, and plundering anomalies

Friday, March 5th, 2010

A Phobos heavy interdictor appears in our home w-space system. It cloaks and starts scanning. I wonder aloud if we should grab a couple of angry ships and set up a trap on our static wormhole, but the minimal engineer presence makes it unlikely that we could break ...

Wondering how to catch a fly

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

I give up early on scanning this evening. I jump in to my Buzzard to lend a hand to our scanning man, but when he tells me that there is a warp disruption bubble set-up one way, a bubble and a carrier another, and the third way has an ...

Recovering a ship from high-sec

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

There is an exit out to New Eden, but not just any exit. It's the second day in a row that a high-sec exit to The Citadel has presented itself, the region of my manufacturing base and where Tigress III has been abandoned. Yesterday we fought Sleepers, today ...

Avoiding bosses in Lower Blackrock Spire

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Vulzerda's taking a break to tidy up her tan lines, which leaves the three of us wondering what to do. Our normal mainstay of lower-challenge, minimal-XP adventuring at this level would be to return to Blackrock Depths, but even with my new-found admiration for the dungeon I don't think ...
