In pursuit of planet goo

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Hooray, no scanning today! A bookmark labelled with our static wormhole is waiting for me in the shared can, letting me warp right out to get a jump on exploration. Except I drop out of warp in empty space, the bookmark being a day old, and I need to scan ...

Finishing what others start

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Everyone's here already, but I'm told our neighbouring system is boring. The class 3 w-space system has four anomalies, one ladar gas harvesting site, and a static exit to low-sec empire space. There is a tower, too, but no activity. Sounds okay to me, we can make some iskies to ...

Picking on a Probe

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Our w-space neighbours don't seem too upset with us shooting them. In fact, they are almost pleased about the attention, noting that they are alone out here and could use some allies. We are the first to attack them, and they seem to appreciate that. As Fin negotiates with them ...

Mighty ducks

Monday, March 28th, 2011

I'm already in my Manticore and heading to our static wormhole. The connection was scanned a short while back and a scout has found a Cheetah covert operations boat. The cov-ops is just out of the shields of the tower in the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, which is why ...

Black ops in the home system

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

I'm hit with a barrage of information as I return to our tower. A wormhole from a class 2 w-space system has connected in to our class 4 home. A Drake battlecruiser is on the K162 of that wormhole. A Harbinger battlecruiser is on the other side of the wormhole, ...

Testing a Drake's shields

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

Our w-space neighbours are hunting intruders. Not us, I might add, at least not specifically. Although we certainly sparked off the initial hunt, by stealing loot from anomalies they cleared, there appear to be other unwanted pilots now in their class 3 system. And it looks like the increased activity ...

Stealing from the neighbours

Friday, March 25th, 2011

'There may be angry poppets next door', says Fin, as she has to dash off for a while. I launch my Manticore stealth bomber to take a look for myself, a bookmark pointing to our static wormhole waiting for me in our shared can. Jumping in to our neighbouring class ...

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', ...

Manticore versus Manticore, Manticore wins

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Fin's home, but she's left a bit of her brain back in Tash-Murkon. Maybe it's an implant, I'm not paying that much attention. I'm still feeling a bit fuzzy after being thoroughly flummoxed by a subspace scout, as well as ruining a chance of catching a hauler collecting planet goo. ...

Bumbling about in w-space

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

There is only one Orca industrial command ship parked outside our tower, Fin must still be stuck in empire space. Poor glorious leader Fin, I must find a way home for her. I scan for wormholes, looking for today's static connection to a class 3 w-space system, whilst I also ...
