One step behind

Friday, May 18th, 2012

Let's see what's changed since yesterday. Nothing, that's what. The sole signature in the system sits on top of the bookmark I made of yesterday's unopened static wormhole, and although it's been known for subsequent wormholes to appear in the same place it's more likely in this case that the ...

Spanking Sleepers in the home system

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

It's a late start for me. I turn up to see my glorious leader also here, but is she really here? Yes, she is. No exploration has been done yet, both of us appearing in the home w-space system within a few minutes of each other, so let's get started. ...

Eebee blog of the month, and ship naming competition

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

Marc Scaurus of Malefactor announced the creation of the Eebees, a 'monthly award that seeks to recognize the valiant pursuits of the Eve Blogging community'. Two awards are given each month, one for the best blog, and one for the best individual post over the course of the month. Naturally, ...

Picking on a piddly Probe

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

Let me start again. I've already scanned our static wormhole, jumped to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, and spotted scanning probes whizzing around the system. A Cheetah covert operations boat blipping on my directional scanner caused me to jump home and plant an interceptor on the wormhole, which generally ...

Disposing of a Retriever

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

After yesterday's poor show, I'm keen to see if I can find another capsuleer I will actually engage today. Scanning is simple, with just me and the expected signatures, so I'm off to a flying start in resolving our static wormhole and jumping through. I could be pessimistic and say ...

Chasing a chase

Monday, May 14th, 2012

I wonder what delights await beyond our static wormhole today. A K162 connection to class 2 w-space in the home system has already given me a direct line to Amarr for logistics, a missed crack at a Vexor cruiser because of those logistics, and also a missed engagement with a ...

What's mined is ores

Sunday, May 13th, 2012

SynCaine of Harcore Casual writes about not wanting to mine in w-space. His corporation's previous mining operations in high-sec space were 'easy and allowed for a more relaxed, social environment'. But in w-space, needing to store the exhumers in a hangar, having to haul the ore out of w-space or ...

Newbie blogger initiative: how I got started, and some general advice

Saturday, May 12th, 2012

The Newbie Blogger Initiative is intended to offer advice and encouragement for anyone considering starting a blog but perhaps not quite knowing where to start. It may seem a little presumptuous to assume I can inspire new bloggers, but, to be fair, so is thinking I can tell anyone how ...

Missing mugging a Myrmidon

Friday, May 11th, 2012

I'm feeling a bit under the weather. I'd worry that this will affect my decision-making, but it would probably only help given my recent record. Either way, feeling a little sluggish won't matter unless I find some activity, and to do that I first need to get myself out of ...

Scanning through rude space

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

All looks quiet. And it is. Or, without wanting to repeat myself, it looks quiet. All I can say for now is that there are no obvious ships in the home system. Only after I launch probes and take a more careful look around am I actually convinced the home ...
