The fleet assembles for some straightforward Sleeper anomaly combat. Three capacitor-hungry and tank-compromised DPS battleships are complemented by twin Guardians, and we're all looking for profitable action. My two recent outings in the Guardian have seen me paired with inexperienced but competent pilots, and now Fin is back ...

It's a quiet evening in w-space that doesn't require any scanning for a change. But a lack of scanning and combat can only mean it's time for a mining operation. I prepare my still-not-quite-destroyed Retriever and head out with a couple of other pilots to find some bistot. ...

I enter the Halls of Lightning for my daily dose of heroism, only to find I have the archetypal idiot of a hunter in my randomly selected group. He starts attacking mobs too early, creates huge amounts of threat, and blames the tank when pulls go awry and loose ...

Alone at the w-space tower, it must be time for more scanning. I find the wormhole leading out of our system quickly, looking for the 'most likely percentage' result. I have my doubts about that method in general, but it seems to work well for our home system ...

Time flies when you're being shot at. It was a year ago that I joined Dark Star Galactic Engineers after Kename Fin recruited me from reading my journal. I could review my posts from a year ago, but it seems like more fun to rely on my memory ...

I admit that I am one of those RP weirdos who keeps a change of clothes for when I am in Stormwind and Dalaran. I feel much better walking around in a pretty dress and hat than stuck in heavy armour all the time, particularly when draenei are naturally ...

Our daily scanning finds some lucrative magnetometric and radar Sleeper sites in a neighbouring system. The only question now is how to reap the profits. Forming a fleet to clear the sites of Sleeper ships is simple enough, we have our battleships and twin Guardians ready. But ...

Initial training is complete, I can fly another new ship. I don't have the new ship yet, as not being able to fly it until now has made it difficult to bring one in to our home w-space system. Now seems like a good time to go shopping. ...

Another new pilot gets thrown in a Guardian logistics ship to accompany me. In a bid to make me more nervous, our small cadre of wormhole engineers can only field a fleet tonight if this new pilot dual-boxes to simultaneously fly a battleship. Whilst straight DPS superficially requires ...

Our new logistics pilot is thrown in to an anomaly for some experience in the Guardian. Luckily, he's not by himself, with my Guardian for support and a couple of battleships to take care of the Sleepers. Anomalies are the least challenging of Sleeper combat sites, but still ...
