No being a ninja in the nexus of w-space

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Today's scanning finds the nexus of w-space, system J100001! It's good that simple pleasures appeal to me, because I can still get a little buzz from the system number after spending twenty minutes scanning only to be told that our scanning man has already done it. He went ...

Scanning, and plundering anomalies

Friday, March 5th, 2010

A Phobos heavy interdictor appears in our home w-space system. It cloaks and starts scanning. I wonder aloud if we should grab a couple of angry ships and set up a trap on our static wormhole, but the minimal engineer presence makes it unlikely that we could break ...

Wondering how to catch a fly

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

I give up early on scanning this evening. I jump in to my Buzzard to lend a hand to our scanning man, but when he tells me that there is a warp disruption bubble set-up one way, a bubble and a carrier another, and the third way has an ...

Recovering a ship from high-sec

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

There is an exit out to New Eden, but not just any exit. It's the second day in a row that a high-sec exit to The Citadel has presented itself, the region of my manufacturing base and where Tigress III has been abandoned. Yesterday we fought Sleepers, today ...

Avoiding bosses in Lower Blackrock Spire

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Vulzerda's taking a break to tidy up her tan lines, which leaves the three of us wondering what to do. Our normal mainstay of lower-challenge, minimal-XP adventuring at this level would be to return to Blackrock Depths, but even with my new-found admiration for the dungeon I don't think ...

Capturing explosions

Monday, March 1st, 2010

'We need to do this in an organised way.' The expected sarcastic replies come quickly. But moving bookmarks between ships is a painfully slow process that isn't helped when several engineers all want access at once. The suggestion is to copy all the bookmarks in to your ...

An evening in w-space anomalies

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

The fleet's up, and we're ready to steal some Sleeper profit. I am back in a Guardian logistics ship, after my brief return to the Damnation field command ship, looking forwards to keeping the fleet safe as we raid Seeper sites in a neighbouring occupied w-space system. We ...

Being scary in my Onyx, and stealing a tower

Friday, February 26th, 2010

A hauler is making its way back to the tower and is asking if an escort is available for the w-space journey. I have my new Onyx HIC, I think I can at least appear threatening for a while, so I agree. It will be a while before ...

Back in the Damnation

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

The fleet's back, but an ISP-enforced break prevents me from collecting my Crane or Guardian from New Eden. So I'm scanning again. This time, I have Fin with me to help, which increases our competency levels by an order of magnitude. I catch up to Fin in ...

Still trying to get the fleet home

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Another day, another attempt to get the scattered fleet back in to w-space. It's not only a matter of bringing back ships and capsuleers, the tower is running low on fuel and needs to be restocked. Finding a good route to New Eden is a primary concern. ...
