Chasing Tech III

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

We have a convenient exit to high-sec space, close to the trade hub of Jita even! Well, it would be convenient if it weren't for the large warp disruption bubble placed on a connecting wormhole. Having to crawl haulers through the bubble would be dangerous, and doing so ...

An exit is also an entrance

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

It happens to the best of us. Our scan man ventures too deep in to the wormhole system and stumbles through one EOL wormhole too many. The wormhole collapses before he gets back to it, trapping him outside of our home system. At least he was out ...

Stopping a Stabber

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

It's time to roam. I jump in my Manticore stealth bomber and prepare to scout the neighbouring w-space systems for targets. Even though, or maybe because, we pop and pod a Probe pilot earlier I am not expecting to find much, particularly as our connecting systems are unoccupied, ...

Factory Floor, Fuck Buttons at Koko

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

I am not entirely sure what to expect of tonight. I don't go to see much live electronic music and hope that I am not going to be surrounded by cool kids dancing, as I will feel entirely out of place. Luckily, it's just another gig, with the ...

Poking a Probe

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

A new day, a new neighbourhood. I head out in my Buzzard to double-team our scanning effort with our scan man. As usual, finding the static wormhole in our home system is easy, as we are dry of other signatures. Our neighbouring system is rich, though, and ...

Avoiding another ambush

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Stuck in empire space, I return to the reassuring information that our scan man is out on his regular reconnoitre of w-space. He is currently in the system neighbouring our own, which is unoccupied and holds a couple of dozen signatures, so scanning could take a while. With ...

Losing the way home

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

No one from the corporation is around, our system is empty of intruders, I suppose I'll scan. The three signatures in our home system are a gravimetric site that we've yet to strip, and two wormholes. One is the system's static wormhole, the other an inbound wormhole that ...

Early scanning for an exit

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

I get an early start today. I move out of the tower's shields in my Buzzard and start scanning in the hopes of finding an exit that will make amends for my incompetence of yesterday, which indirectly led to colleagues getting stuck outside of w-space. Our home system's ...

Poking the wasp nest

Friday, April 16th, 2010

The evening starts promisingly. There are lots of bookmarks waiting in the can, tempting me to go roaming in my Manticore stealth bomber again. But warping to our static wormhole reveals that the bookmarks are a day stale, so instead I swap in to my Buzzard scanning boat ...

In the communal ship array

Friday, April 16th, 2010

As others have done, please allow me to share with you the ships I have put in the communal hangar in w-space, and like to call my own. Drake—Non-sentient Ship The passive shield tanked battlecruiser has been my staple combat ship for longer than I can remember. As soon as I ...
