Slumming it in low-sec sites

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012

Fin's here, but not much else. 'We have mostly nothing.' Even a K162 from class 4 w-space leading to a K162 from class 5 w-space doesn't look promising, and neither does our neighbouring class 3 system heading out to low-sec empire space. I would ask what the plan is, but ...

Banging with blues

Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

'Are we dead yet?' Apparently not, as the K162 in the home system leads to neighbours that are blue to us, and so supposedly allies. But they have seen some Ducks about, which are rather more threatening in space than ponds, and have a scout or two wandering around seeing ...

Staying out of trouble with my scouting

Monday, October 29th, 2012

'C4a may be gone. It was EOL.' I didn't know we had a connection to class 4 w-space, but warping across the home system sees the K162 wormhole still there and still wobbling away at the end of its life. My glorious leader is through our static wormhole and scanning ...

Going home

Sunday, October 28th, 2012

I'm isolated from the home system, and still doing what I do best. I scanned from high-sec to w-space, found some ships shooting Sleepers, and ambushed their salvager. I didn't get any loot from the wreck, having to evade a battleship responding to the mayday a little too tardily, but ...

Playing away from home

Saturday, October 27th, 2012

I'm in high-sec empire space with no way home. I don't even bother warping to where the wormhole was when I exited, as it was reaching the end of its life when I left and that was a few hours ago. I know I'm stranded, I just need to make ...

Needing the third name

Friday, October 26th, 2012

I'd better look for an exit. After losing Fin's scouting Tengu yesterday we may need to buy a new strategic cruiser. An extra signature in the home system today turns out to be some more rocks this time, so I take the only option for a first step and jump ...

Prophecy for a Tengu

Thursday, October 25th, 2012

That was a lot of food. Too much, some would say, so I'd better get active. Flying internet spaceships burns Calories, right? Whatever, Fin's here, so what's happening? 'Nothing.' Scouting the constellation earlier has apparently come to nought. I ask if we should collapse the connection and start again, only ...

Killing a dying wormhole

Wednesday, October 24th, 2012

I'm out for a scout, putting in some legwork for hopefully a successful later roam. A new signature appears under my probes in the home w-space system, and as it resolves to be a second wormhole I may get an earlier start to my roam than I expected. But the ...

Empty scanning

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

Mr Onyx from last night has sent me a mail. Apparently, the next connecting system their class 5 w-space home had, after I left and they finished collapsing the wormhole I fled through, led to a C3 with nearly thirty signatures, a static exit to null-sec, and no other wormholes. ...

Return to Senda

Monday, October 22nd, 2012

Circumstances aren't really awkward. That was a bit misleading. Sure, maybe the critically destabilised wormhole I entered this class 5 w-space system through has collapsed. Maybe the single signature in the system is trivial enough to scan, and the locals had enough of a head start, that there wasn't really ...
