I am flying solo again. I head out to scan, hoping to find some juicy miner targets. Resolving the location of our system's static wormhole I warp to it and jump through to find I am spat out over 9 km away from the wormhole. This is further ...

It's good to be motivated. Our scan man isn't able to return home from empire space using yesterday's route so I can go out to scan for a new route. My newly acquired Sister's scanning probes will come in handy, thanks to the Heron pilot who unwillingly donated ...

At last, there is something to shoot. Another scout through the neighbouring systems shows the strategic cruisers have gone, replaced by some small warp bubbles. That's a neat trick. Fin and I launch our Manticore stealth bomber squad and ostentatiously waste some faction torpedoes clearing the bubbles ...

There is still nothing happening. I go out in my Buzzard scanning boat to entertain myself looking for sites. The neighbouring class 4 w-space system is my first destination, scanning every last signature to look for anything of interest. There are some good sites to run if ...

I'm curious about what happens after I shoot the miner and collect his ore. I head back to the system in my Buzzard to see if anything is happening, warping to the tower on the outer planet first. I am interested in the tower because it held a ...

A target is spotted. Glorious leader Fin is heading out to high-sec empire space to buy fuel for our w-space tower when one of her regular checks of the directional scanner, necessary for survival in w-space, reveals a Covetor mining barge somewhere in the system. The Covetor is ...

Another quiet start to the day in w-space. At least the home system is empty of anyone else according to the directional scanner, which is an advantage of living in a system that d-scan can cover completely. I start scanning and soon find a wormhole but when I ...

An early start, an empty system. I find a bookmark for our static wormhole dropped in our shared can, a bookmark that hasn't been visited yet. It's time to open the connection and visit today's neighbours. At least, it would be, if we had neighbours. Next ...
