Hitting a Hurricane

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

Local empire space may be lacking wormholes again today. Our base system has nothing to find, and although one jump out finds a wormhole to a class 3 w-space system it is reaching the end of its natural lifetime and is not much use. I resolve only two magnetometric sites ...

Flying in circles through wormholes

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

A host of wormhole connections has already been found in our base system, leader Fin being productive as much as glorious. Sadly, the connections don't lead deeper than class 2 w-space and end up returning to null-sec space. We're not having much luck at getting to a class 4 system ...

Plundering a class 1 w-space system

Sunday, November 21st, 2010

Trying to find wormholes in high-sec falls flat again. There is nothing in the base system, or any wormholes one jump in either direction, only puny anomalies to be found. Looking in one more system gets some luck, although not quite what I'm after. An outbound connection to a class ...

Scanning in and out of w-space

Saturday, November 20th, 2010

W-space waits for me somewhere out there, I just need to get to it. Scanning the base high-sec system is a good start, resolving two wormholes leading to unknown space. The first is a K162 connection coming from a class 1 w-space system, but the other is more promising, an ...

Calling on a camping carrier

Friday, November 19th, 2010

I'm going back to w-space, but only roaming in my stealth bomber through the local wormholes I've found. The class 3 w-space system is my first destination, earlier not looking to be too threatening, but as I drop out of warp the wormhole flares, signalling passage of a ship. I ...

Scanning and sites in empire space

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

I spend a quiet night moving ships. Two wormholes led to two systems, luckily only six stargate passages apart, and my ships get split between two stardocks. It isn't far to collect the ships, although it takes some time to do so, and my thoughts of training for a Charon ...

Scanning high-sec for wormholes

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

It's time to start looking for a new w-space home. I haven't scanned my way in to w-space from empire space before, only looking for exits previously. Finding one specific system via randomly spawning and connected wormholes is a lesson in futility, which is why I never tried finding my ...

A low-sec distraction

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

To take my mind off the inactive skill queue Fin and I head to low-sec. Fin has fitted a couple of Drake battlecruisers to be agile and hard-hitting, sacrificing most of the passive tank as a compromise, and we're going to look for trouble. Roaming around w-space can be quiet, ...

Welcome to space

Monday, November 15th, 2010

I get a call from an old friend, someone I never thought I'd hear from again. Capsuleers are like that, thinking themselves immortal and above us normals. You'd think that space pilots would understand there is no 'up' or 'down' in space, but there you go. It's nice to hear ...

Begin again

Monday, November 15th, 2010

I've left my w-space home shortly after moving in, but I want to go back. Okay, not back to the class 5 system, but certainly back to w-space. I don't think I can make a home in empire space at the moment and still have a strong connection to w-space ...
