Busterd

Friday, July 11th, 2014

I'm kinda tired already. That doesn't bode well for this evening. And I really think I should endeavour to get our Bustard transport back from high-sec dock. Not for any particular reason, you understand, and certainly not because our tower is now regularly sending notifications complaining that it will throw ...

Tempest on a wormhole

Thursday, July 10th, 2014

It's a quiet night for the corporation, with only me on-line. I hope it's not the same in the rest of w-space. Or maybe I do, as long as I get a good exit, as that would let me bring the Bustard transport back. Have I mentioned that yet? I'm ...

Getting an Epithal

Wednesday, July 9th, 2014

Back in the home system, I repair the damage to my Proteus strategic cruiser after the curious case of the onffline tower. Now to return to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, where I'll ignore the Epithal hauler up for grabs by the same tower, what with the Onyx heavy ...

Slow chase

Tuesday, July 8th, 2014

Maybe I'll go back for that hauler. Now that the tower no longer has a vice-like grip on my strategic cruiser, I could take my pod in to grab the Epithal and claim it for myself. Or maybe I should at least scout this system properly first. My opportunistic assault ...

Onffline tower

Monday, July 7th, 2014

There are plenty of anomalies building up in the home system. Those are good for making ISK, particularly when there is just the one signature present, which will be our probably closed static wormhole. It's a shame that shooting Sleepers isn't a particularly engaging activity. If it didn't generate ISK ...

Red squares mean null-sec

Sunday, July 6th, 2014

Undock from Jita, homeward trip planned and mapped, and align to the first stargate. This is all working out rather well, having sold a billion ISK of loot through a fortuitous wormhole, and we'll soon have the Revelation up and running properly. It may even be worth making a second ...

Finding a happy route through high-sec

Saturday, July 5th, 2014

We're back to one wormhole tonight, plus a pocket of gas I still don't care about. Suck it, gas. I resolve our static wormhole and jump through it to explore. Updating my directional scanner in the class 3 w-space system shows me two towers floating somewhere, but no ships to ...

Going forwards

Friday, July 4th, 2014

Back through dangerous w-space, to deadly w-space, and home. The deadliest w-space of all. Neat dramatic tension and everything, but nothing's actually happening. The wormholes connecting in to our home system are totally quiet, and I got bored scanning my way backwards through inactive systems. I've come home to go ...

Checking my behind

Thursday, July 3rd, 2014

It's just me to start the evening. I think. No colleagues are on-line yet, but two new signatures in the home system could indicate the possibility of company. I should check them, so launch probes and scan. They are both wormholes, which, along with our static wormhole, offers me early ...

Showing some willing

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014

One site down, a dozen to go. I didn't even clear the site myself, new recruit Matha did, in a Drake battlecruiser, of all ships. That's commitment. We should probably work out some way to pay her. 'A shuttle a month', says Fin later, which seems reasonable enough. Rather than ...
