Turning to the dark side

Friday, June 20th, 2014

Let's see if I can maintain interest in w-space a little longer. Perhaps I am just being curmudgeonly, and there are still plenty of opportunities for action and excitement. Like in the home system, where our anomalies are once more building up. Shooting Sleepers is excellent fun, am I right? ...

Testing for bait

Thursday, June 19th, 2014

Back to C3b, across to C3a, and in to the home system. Through the w-space constellation, all the time feeling a pull back to the class 4 system and the Procurer chomping away on an arkonor rock. I'm concerned about the state of w-space activity, and I'm leaving an active ...

Probable bait

Wednesday, June 18th, 2014

I'm back again. I dunno why. Unfounded optimism, maybe, or just a creature of habit. Either way, I only feel like a quick session, which definitely makes my appearance feel habitual, although I have other activities I can be doing. Let's get on. Two new signatures in the home system ...

Extra time for extra signatures

Tuesday, June 17th, 2014

Back through class 2 w-space. The Helios covert operations boat is probably still running idle loops around its tower, the Impairor frigate motionless nearby. In to class 3 w-space, our neighbouring system, and is that a new signature the discovery scanner is blinking at me? It's not immediately obvious, what ...

W-space life is rubbish

Monday, June 16th, 2014

I don't know what there is to do in w-space any more. The discovery scanner has made finding active pilots more difficult. Even if I do, mobile tractor units have all but made salvagers obsolete, removing another significant source of targets. Now the 'look at' feature doesn't let me track ...

Gigs of 2014, part two

Sunday, June 15th, 2014

Finishing up the gigs of late-May, bleeding in to the start of June, has an interesting mix of bands and genres. In general, it's still good to get out to gigs, but sometimes, if I'm not fully motivated, it can feel a bit of a chore. Speedy Ortiz, Empty Pools at ...

Wormholes popping

Saturday, June 14th, 2014

Lurking on a wormhole, waiting for a scout. I can't really say why, because beyond this w-space system being his home there is little reason to believe the Imicus frigate will come back this way any time soon. I think I'm more frustrated at the new behaviour of the interface ...

No chance to chase

Friday, June 13th, 2014

It's a full house when I finally get my ship on-line, fashionably late to the party. 'What are we going to do?' Good question. Scan that second signature in the home system for a start, and if it's gas I can leave my colleagues to suck on it for ISK. ...

Finding more class 4 systems

Thursday, June 12th, 2014

Oh, unknown signature, what are you? More gas? You do not interest me. Through our static wormhole I go, updating my directional scanner on the other side to see nothing but some cans littering the class 3 w-space system. I launch probes and perform a blanket scan, not expecting much ...

Cruising for a Covetor

Wednesday, June 11th, 2014

Back to the class 5 w-space system and across to the last of the three wormholes I've resolved. It's a K162 to more class 5 w-space. I bet that Deimos heavy assault cruiser that entered our home system came from this way. Deeper I go, aiming to find out. Woo, ...
