Big, scary, and ineffective

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

I've almost run in to a couple of Golems. To be fair, the marauders are a response to my shooting an Orca industrial command ship of theirs, as it came back from low-sec empire space to w-space. Now I'm in our neighbouring class 3 system and about to scan for ...

Another shot at an Orca

Monday, January 30th, 2012

It's another day in w-space. Home remains clear, which is always reassuring, and I need to look abroad for activity. I scan and resolve our static wormhole and jump to our neighbouring class 3 system to see a clear return from my directional scanner. The j-number of this system looks ...

Scything through low-sec

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

I'm looking for someone to shoot. There's no one in the home w-space system but me, and a new signature is just more dumb rocks that I activate and forget about. There being only the one wormhole sends me to our neighbouring class 3 system, which looks initially disappointing. My ...

Running in to a siege

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

Three extra signatures seems like a lot. Can they all be Sleepers? Yes, they can, being gas, gas, and our static wormhole, which doesn't really count as a new signature but a replacement for yesterday's. Silly me. I activate the two new ladar sites and jump to our neighbouring class ...

Oracles for two

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Home is empty, without even a glorious leader in sight. A new signature tries to keep me company but I don't want to waste time shooting rocks. Let's see what else is out there in w-space today. A single canister is visible on my directional scanner in our neighbouring class ...

Muddled by the mystery hauler

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

If there's a match for my patience it's my persistence. Fin and I have spent half the evening watching a Hoarder hauler refuse to move, then tried to ambush a Cheetah covert operations boat that didn't want to explore beyond its home system's normal borders, before giving up when the ...

Suffering some slight space madness

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Dammit, someone's stolen all our anomalies again. I'm sure we left loads of them scattered around but now there are only a handful left. They really held the system together, did they not? If I didn't get bored quite so quickly shooting Sleepers then I may be slightly irritated by ...

Leaving combat to meet a hauler

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

I'm back, what's cooking? A fuel BPO, which is apt for my apparently off-hand comment. Apart from that, I imagine we're sandwiched between two systems of absent pilots. Glorious leader Fin confirms that for our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, but jumping through the K162 in our home system to ...

Persevering for a PI popping

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

It feels like a while since I've shot another pilot for kicks and giggles. I should remedy that. I've got the disco playing, let's go hunting! Well, exploring first, and there's no guarantee I'll find anyone, but thanks for harshing my buzz, Penny's inner voice. Even so, I have a ...

Miners and Sleepers

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

Fin's here but not here, floating in her isolation chamber for a few minutes. I'll scan the home system. A new signature is revealed by my probes, today being a second wormhole for a change, a K162 coming from class 4 w-space. Hoping for some activity I jump through the ...
