Rejected by a wormhole

Saturday, August 11th, 2012

The sites are returning. A new rock field gives me something else to resolve than just our static wormhole, but not an option of system to explore, so I jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A clear result from my directional scanner on the K162 isn't too discouraging, ...

Creeping up on a Cheetah

Friday, August 10th, 2012

Some Sleepers are coming back to the home system, with two anomalies already showing up on my scanners. It's well known that three's a crowd, so I leave my new guests alone by resolving our static wormhole and jumping to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. My directional scanner is ...

Looking for trouble

Thursday, August 9th, 2012

Now that's a clean system. Rocks, rocks, and a wormhole. No anomalies. And it's the w-space system we call home. I'd best go next door so that I don't muss up the place and get Fin mad with me. C3a has one of those J-numbers that sounds familiar but really ...

Clearing the home anomalies

Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

Would you look at that. Some roaming fleet has blitzed all of our anomalies, bar three. And those three may have spawned overnight. It's a bit of a disappointment, really. All of that Sleeper action, and not even a salvager for me to shoot. On top of that, they don't ...

Empty space is quiet space

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

Shev's scanning our neighbouring system. 'Seems quiet here', he says, as I join him in an occupied but inactive system. In the bookmarks he's made I spy a connection in addition to the exit to low-sec empire space, and warp to appear next to a K162 from class 2 w-space. ...

Death by aggression

Monday, August 6th, 2012

The home system clutter is down to one pocket of gas, which looks much nicer. It is then increased to two pockets of gas as I scan, which is still better than before, and after I activate the new site I jump through the only wormhole to our neighbouring class ...

Exploration and ships but nothing to show for it

Sunday, August 5th, 2012

I'm a bit sleepy, and w-space looks the same. I'm alone in the home system and there is no constellation mapped. The situation changes a little when I launch probes to scan, and one extra signature becomes three. It's not that the signatures appear, more that a couple of bookmarks ...

Don't tease me

Saturday, August 4th, 2012

It's just me and the static wormhole, and I'm soon enough waving goodbye to that too. I move away and cloak from the K162 in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system with four towers but no ships visible on my directional scanner. One planet out of range holds a little ...

Going after gassers

Friday, August 3rd, 2012

Let's not mess up an easy kill today, shell we Penny? Assuming, of course, that I get another fat target like yesterday's miner. But in finding the miner after collapsing our static wormhole, and not scanning the class 3 w-space system for an exit, I may have inadvertently shut Shev ...

Creeping up on a Covetor

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

Some gas has gone, some rocks have come. Or some gas has been compressed to rocks. Either way, the home w-space system remains as untidy as it was yesterday, and I have a whole cluster of bookmarks waiting for me. Let's take a look around the constellation to see if ...
