Dropping in on day trippers

Thursday, May 31st, 2012

They might be on to me. I've not ambushed a planet goo-collecting hauler in quite a while, which makes me think I've got to shake my routine up a bit in order to surprise them again. So I am in space earlier than usual in the hopes of catching a ...

Looking the wrong way

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

Will anything happen today? Fin's here, for a start, and our shared bookmarks folder looks to hold the locations of K162s from both class 2 and class 5 w-space. I get a sitrep from my glorious leader, who is now in the C2. 'The C5 has a Mastodon putting up ...

Null-sec scanning and ratting

Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

A bookmark to a supposedly inactive wormhole stares at me from our corporate locations folder. I wonder if it is still inactive, or has been opened and has since died of old age. I'll scan the home system anyway, as you can't assume that other wormholes haven't connected in to ...

Ship naming competition results!

Monday, May 28th, 2012

The competition to name my new Loki is over. I first want to say that you are all much better at thinking of ship names than I am. That doesn't make you all winners, though. Ha ha, no! In particular, if Rob ever starts playing EVE Online I will devote ...

Finishing on a positive

Sunday, May 27th, 2012

It doesn't look like we'll have any visitors today. We're once again down to having a single signature in the home w-space system, which will be the static wormhole. At least, I hope it will be the static wormhole, or I can't be a visitor to anyone else either. Naturally, ...

Chasing transports

Saturday, May 26th, 2012

A bookmark to an unvisited wormhole welcomes my appearance, and rocks, more rocks, and gas do not. But a new signature in the home system may compensate for the missing sites. Two new signatures, in fact, as the bookmarked wormhole has apparently been visited and died of old age already. ...

Null-sec incursion

Friday, May 25th, 2012

I appear in the home w-space system to see Fin's already here. Asking what's happening gets me a sitrep from my glorious leader. 'Nothing.' Okay then. Pressing for a little more information reveals there are four signatures in our system and none of them are incoming connections. So what's the ...

Destroying the destroyer

Thursday, May 24th, 2012

The hauler's gone one way, the combat ship the other, and the scouts have all gone home. I still don't think there's anything we can do in our local w-space constellation. At least, not without expecting a nasty surprise at some point. So, as is the case when I run ...

A little low on options

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

Fin's here, as is a K162 from class 5 w-space. My glorious leader updates me on what's happened so far. A Loki strategic cruiser came and went, and a Cheetah covert operations boat scanned our home system. As far as she could tell the cov-ops didn't pass through our static ...

What's in my hangar

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

There are still a few days left before my ship-naming competition ends, and there are loads of great suggestions already. I'm thrilled that I'll have a ship with a good name! In case you think this is just a way to get some attention, let's take a look in my ...
