Ships in towers

Sunday, August 12th, 2012

It looks like I have a new site in the home system, but it actually turns out to be a new direction to explore. I like that. The signature resolves to be a wormhole, and a K162 from deadly class 6 w-space too. But a wormhole is a wormhole, and ...

Going after gassers

Friday, August 3rd, 2012

Let's not mess up an easy kill today, shell we Penny? Assuming, of course, that I get another fat target like yesterday's miner. But in finding the miner after collapsing our static wormhole, and not scanning the class 3 w-space system for an exit, I may have inadvertently shut Shev ...

Easily distracted

Friday, June 22nd, 2012

I've popped a hauler without even knowing where it's come from. That seems a little impolite, so I'm heading the way it was, before it fled my unwanted advances, to see if I can rectify the situation. I assumed this class 4 w-space system was the end of the constellation, ...

Keep ignorant and carry on

Thursday, June 14th, 2012

I'm hoping for a fresh constellation today. Yesterday's had the lingering stench of stagnant, um, vacuum, with all of the dying wormholes littered around. The home system looks clear, and has the static wormhole in the same place as yesterday, but a second wormhole may mean I'm already being watched. ...

Strategic cruising in class 2 w-space

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

Fin's been, scanned, and gone. That'll save me some time! Or it should, if w-space weren't so bally changeable. I launch probes to scan the home system and find two signatures unaccounted for by the current collection of corporate bookmarks. That's still better than resolving the lot, though, and it ...

Plenty to watch, little to shoot

Saturday, March 24th, 2012

Gah, I'm crippled by skill-queue indecision again! I managed to find a skill that I use daily somehow only trained to level III to fill up my queue a few days ago, but now I have to fill it up once more. There are quite a few skills that I could ...

Running in to a siege

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

Three extra signatures seems like a lot. Can they all be Sleepers? Yes, they can, being gas, gas, and our static wormhole, which doesn't really count as a new signature but a replacement for yesterday's. Silly me. I activate the two new ladar sites and jump to our neighbouring class ...

Oracles for two

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Home is empty, without even a glorious leader in sight. A new signature tries to keep me company but I don't want to waste time shooting rocks. Let's see what else is out there in w-space today. A single canister is visible on my directional scanner in our neighbouring class ...

Bait and collapse

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Glorious leader Fin's out selling loot and some junk we've accumulated on our w-space roams. I'll check our home system for new connections, so that we can stay safe from surprises. Finding nothing out of the ordinary I stow my scanning boat and board a Manticore stealth bomber to take ...

Unspectacular scanning and sitting in a new ship

Saturday, December 10th, 2011

All looks quiet at home, just an ordinary day. I know it's not going to be, but first I will scan and look for trouble, to keep me amused during this last short period of waiting. My folder of old bookmarks remains from yesterday, which I still refuse to discard ...
