Mapping the home system

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

A lazy afternoon seems like a good time to complete a full re-scan of the home w-space system. I could go hunting through our static wormhole but it is getting more difficult to isolate the new wormhole signature from the few dozen bookmarks I have, and it will be good ...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

Don't go to Arathi Highlands! It's not dangerous, just the same old zone and a stark reminder of how tolerant you once had to be to get anything done in Azeroth. I move on from Westfall to Redridge Mountains, but immediately get a quest asking me to visit the mayor ...

Profit after piracy

Friday, January 7th, 2011

A Cyclone is spotted in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. Glorious leader Fin spies it idling in the local tower, and I follow in to take a look for myself. At first, it looks like the Cyclone is active, but Fin's right. It is merely circling the tower slowly, ...

Bombing a Bestower

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

I can't be lucky two days in a row, but let's see what's in our w-space constellation today anyway. Or I would, if our home system weren't getting swamped with Sleepers. This is supposed to be space, vast and empty, but we have so many ladar sites we almost have ...

Looking after the leap

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

I forgot about the second tower. I saw it, and avoided it to launch probes, but for some reason I simply disregarded it entirely instead of considering it the home of the miner. The tower I saw first, with the Tengu strategic cruiser sitting unpiloted inside, caught my attention and ...

A Stabber stabbed

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

There's no one here but me, I think I'll hunt in the class 3 w-space system next door. Of course, that means finding the home system's static wormhole first, but that's a formality. Jumping in to the C3 sees a tower and a Tengu strategic cruiser on my directional scanner, ...

Another Noctis for our hangar

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

The Sleepers are at it like bunnies. Scanning the home system finds two new frontier barracks anomalies the day after we clear three of them. It would be a iskmine if we could keep up with the pace. I also find an additional gravimetric and ladar site, which makes it ...

Noctis in action

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

Enough speculation! I have my Noctis salvager now, I need to get out and use it to see how effective it can be. The numbers certainly look impressive but I want to experience it. It looks like I'll have the opportunity for some simple salvaging too. Exploration ends in our ...

Navigating some null-sec

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

Scanning today could be interesting. After yesterday's contretemps Fin and I were a little concerned about the other corporation coming in to our home system and stealing all the profit from our indigenous Sleeper population. It is a minor concern, and one that prompts us to gather that profit for ...

Moving on to the familiar

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

Westfall ho! I never much enjoyed adventuring in low-level Elfland and, now that the cataclysm has hit, I am hoping to find new experiences wherever I go, rather than simply trying to streamline my progress to be as efficient as possible. But first I have to work out how to ...
