Mundane missioning

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

It's been a few hours since I took a look, so I'm hoping the dying wormhole has now collapsed. I return to space, jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, and warp to the bookmark where the static exit to low-sec empire space was wobbling earlier. For once, I'm ...

According to no plan

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

Nearly getting myself stuck in empire space yesterday has given me an idea. I spend a fair amount of time trying to repair the criminally large reductions in my security status by looking for anomalies or other sites that will have bounty-holding rats to pop. It takes time and effort ...

Scanning my way out of trouble

Monday, February 27th, 2012

I'm boned. In looking for some rats I instead found a bunch of wormholes, and have chosen the wrong door. It all looked as benign as any other jump I made to start with. The system in low-sec empire space was empty apart from me, the wormhole was clear of ...

Looking for rats and finding trouble

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

Both the static wormhole and glorious leader Fin have collapsed. Fin orchestrated collapsing the wormhole before deciding it was already late enough. I'm keen to take another look around w-space in the hopes of finding an exit close to Jita so I can buy a new and expensive toy. I ...

Low-sec piracy

Saturday, February 25th, 2012

It's a new day. I have loot to trade in for a Golem marauder. Whether I can do that or not depends on how kind w-space will be to me today. There is nothing new at home and resolving our static wormhole is as easy as ABC, that being its ...

Racking up the ISK from Sleepers

Friday, February 24th, 2012

I'm back in w-space after a couple of days of shore leave. Launching scanning probes lets me see what's changed, seeing some anomalies returning to the home system after the latest fleet romped through here, but otherwise everything looks the same. And here's my glorious leader, arriving just as I ...

Swapping w-space for Serpentis rats

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Wondering what awaits me in w-space today has a weak signature turn in to a wormhole in the home system. Could this finally be a random outbound wormhole in our class 4 w-system that I've yet to find? No, it's a disguised K162, how disappointing. It comes from more class ...

Crashing a collapse

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

My skill queue is becoming increasingly meaningless. I have no idea what to train or why, so I'm simply sticking in fairly arbitrary skills for the moment, hoping they'll be useful at some point. I don't really have an aim for a new ship, or any particular ship I use ...

Missing a Magnate and mashing a Mammoth

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

I'm back, and curious to see if my earlier scouting will bag me any targets. I have a few systems to roam through, so ditch my scanning boat for a stealth bomber, aiming the Manticore towards our static wormhole once my system checks are completed. Core scanning probes are visible ...

Running the gauntlet of empty w-space

Monday, February 20th, 2012

After yesterday's shenanigans I think I'd better swing by our tower to see if it's still there. Popping the Noctis of a significant fleet to deny them a good hundred million ISK in profit may have caused some ire in them, but it's good to see they haven't taken it ...
