Active denial of loot

Monday, March 11th, 2013

I'm on my way back through the dull w-space constellation, from a class 1 to class 2 system, as my glorious leader dutifully watches a previously active wormhole. An Anathema covert operations boat jumps past Fin, from our neighbouring class 3 system through a K162 to a different class 2 ...

Losing out on loot

Sunday, March 10th, 2013

'System scanned, wormhole not open yet.' Ah, good, Fin's home. I kinda forgot that she got caught and sent back to a high-sec clone vat. Thankfully, the puppet and Aii found a high-sec connection yesterday, which our glorious leader was able to use to return. Now we can get back ...

Refining the art of collapsing a wormhole

Saturday, March 9th, 2013

Collapsing a wormhole is a curious art. I got the hang of it better when I reversed my calculations. Instead of relying on how much mass I was putting through the wormhole, I started thinking about how little mass was left on the wormhole. Now, I know they kinda sound ...

Wormhole spotting

Friday, March 8th, 2013

Our poppet's on-line, but where? 'Scanning, at home.' Great, let's do it, and get Fin home. A pretty bare home system is livened up by a single extra signature, which even though it's some gas is pretty exciting after having scummy visitors almost strip us clean of any resource. Otherwise ...

Crushing wormholes and customs offices

Thursday, March 7th, 2013

I would say the w-space constellation was rich earlier, but that wouldn't be entirely accurate. It was only one system out of four that offered any activity, although I enjoyed how the locals kept throwing ships at me, even if it was unintentional and I couldn't quite catch all of ...

Ambushing a Drake to keep it safe

Wednesday, March 6th, 2013

I follow the pod back to the tower. The pod whose Atron frigate I just destroyed. The pod who bounced back to the wormhole and out again. I have no idea why he did that, but if it means the pilots local to this class 3 w-space system will continue ...

That Drake is far away

Tuesday, March 5th, 2013

Now what do I do? I somehow managed to sneak up, whilst banging and crashing my combat scanning probes around the system, on a Bestower hauler in a gravimetric site, and podded the pilot back to a clone vat. The system, a class 3 w-space system a few hops from ...

Rudely interrupting a rock survey

Monday, March 4th, 2013

No new losses. Today is going to be a good day. Scanning the home system shows that the Sleepers are even moving back in, which is good too, I suppose. And only the one wormhole means that we've had no capsuleer visitors. Let's see if I can be a visitor ...

Scouting behind a Buzzard

Sunday, March 3rd, 2013

'We have visitors.' At home? I update my directional scanner as my glorious leader welcomes me on-line, and see nothing. Then again, I try to hide as far as from everything as possible precisely to stay off d-scan when coming on-line. I launch probes and prepare to perform a blanket ...

Worst scout ever

Saturday, March 2nd, 2013

Is there anything happening now? All I could find in the w-space constellation earlier was Aii, sucking up gas in the home system. I'm pretty sure I can't shoot him. Pretty sure. Aii's gone, though, and so has a ladar site. Coincidence? I'll ponder that question as I perform a ...
