Hulk hammering

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

Scanning again, I jump through our static wormhole in to another pulsar system. Our home class 4 w-space system holds a pulsar, nicely boosting shields and capacitors, and this C3 gives the same benefits. If I find any ships here, I had better take stronger shields in to account. Nothing ...

Gasping for a breath of fresh air

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

My warlock is happy adventuring in the Southern Barrens. The scenery is new and vivid, the quests are varied and generally involving, and there is almost no one else around. I am guided from Northwatch Hold to a new oasis, then south to a camp, then further south to another ...

Too tired to do much

Monday, January 24th, 2011

There are more missing signatures at home. I imagine Fin has been harvesting gas, which is relatively quick to do and helps declutter our class 4 w-space system. I delete the bookmarks to obviously missing signatures but don't perform a full scan of the system, instead resolving our static wormhole ...

Returning fire

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

The Noctis got away, but the activity doesn't halt. Our bombing run on the salvager sees the alert pilot escape from my inept clutches, thwarting glorious leader Fin's kill, leaving the Sleeper wrecks still in the anomaly. And it doesn't look like the local pilots want their profit go to ...

Not close enough

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

There's an interceptor in our system. Fin's here too, and I think it's her Crow I'm seeing on my directional scanner. Ever since we've moved in to this class 4 w-space system there has been a wayward jet-can lurking somewhere, perhaps dropped in a safe spot by the previous inhabitants, ...

Knocking a Noctis

Friday, January 21st, 2011

The popped Iteron pilot must have come from somewhere. I tried following him in to one of the class 3 w-space systems connected from this one, but only saw a few other pilots milling around. I loitered at a wormhole leading in to another C3 system from here, but the ...

Unwittingly dropping short

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

The constellation has been revealed. Exploration has found three more class 3 w-space systems beyond our normal neighbour, with a couple of systems occupied, creating plenty of opportunity for mayhem. I have bookmarks for all the known wormholes, which are plenty, and anomalies in the systems. Now it is time ...

Penny, in colour

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

Everyone else is doing it, I don't want to appear square. I've played around the with new character creator. It slowed my machine down to a crawl, and took about an hour before I was happy with the result, and that was with surprisingly limited options. Not many options to ...

Four threes equals four

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

There's a new ladar site at home. We only just killed a couple! Thankfully, scanning naturally finds me our static wormhole too, and I can ignore the new gas harvesting site and head out to explore further afield. Jumping in to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system sees cans, bubbles, ...

Jelica's travels

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

I've got a request to report to the Hinterlands, which I dutifully ignore to go exploring instead. Adventuring is fun, but I am intrigued as to the changes wreaked to the land about me. The cataclysm—or 'shattering', as I believe it's referred to—has rent great tears in the earth, destroyed ...
