Building our capability

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

Fin's been scanning, and has found an oddity. The first class 3 w-space system she found connected by our static wormhole had an exit to low-sec empire space, which is far from unusual, but collapsing that wormhole to get a second one results in a C3 with an exit to ...

Back to shooting Sleepers

Monday, November 29th, 2010

All is quiet. As looks to be part of a new routine, my first task is to scan the class 4 w-space system for any changes. Although the system had to stabilise on my arrival that doesn't preclude a wormhole having connected to us earlier, and it is good to ...

Almost ready for anything

It looks like the class 4 w-space pulsar system we have claimed is going to be ours uncontested. A routine check of my directional scanner shows that the previous occupants' tower has been renamed, now called 'bye bye'. I imagine the loss of so many expensive assets is too much ...

Starting to get settled

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

One day in and we've already been attacked. Two defences have been incapacitated and the tower itself has been tested, although only the shields were damaged and the system's pulsar phenomenon makes them stronger. Setting up a few external defences without guns first in place turns out to be a ...

Sticking a flag in our pulsar home

Friday, November 26th, 2010

My communication is received and two Orcas are moved fifteen jumps through high-sec, waiting for my return. It is a few hours after finding a route out from the class 4 w-space system we're looking to move in to, passing through a spider of a class 3 system, and we ...

A cornucopia of connections

Friday, November 26th, 2010

I'm up early to see if there is a potential route in to this class 4 w-space system from empire space. If I scan an exit out of here there could be a later possibility of getting the tower in and establishing our presence. And I'm not alone today, a ...

What a racket

Looking for an exit

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

The class 4 w-space system I am hoping to make home is stabilising as I wake up. This is good, as it means no one else is in the system. A quick scan in my Buzzard covert operations boat confirms that there is no change in the system. And, in ...

Taking a look around

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

I wake up in w-space for the first time in a while, and by myself. The class 4 pulsar system is empty apart from my own ship, and what was left behind after the corporation plundered the off-line assets of the previous occupants. Or maybe they are still current occupants, ...

Cuckoo

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

Our search for a class 4 w-space system may not be progressing well, today's search ending in an ambush gone awry, but our corporation colleagues in the C5 have made an excellent find. A scout has scanned the w-space constellation and happened upon an off-line tower, one with a corporate ...
