A K162 leading to a class 4 w-space system is an invitation to plunder. It is even more inviting when the wormhole starts its EOL cycle just as we pass through it, which should discourage our neighbours from following us home if they happen to take offense at our ...

Stuck in empire space, I return to the reassuring information that our scan man is out on his regular reconnoitre of w-space. He is currently in the system neighbouring our own, which is unoccupied and holds a couple of dozen signatures, so scanning could take a while. With ...

I'm late. My corporation colleagues have been shooting miners without me. A Hulk exhumer and Retriever mining barge are both destroyed, throwing their capsuleers' pods out in to the harshness of the vacuum, although the pods escape, as does an Orca industrial command ship. I may have ...

We almost have enough pilots available to wreck some Sleeper ships. Fin and I are around to pilot the twin Guardian logistics ships, that will provide enough remote repairing to keep the fleet afloat. If the other capsuleer dares to dual-box to bring two battleships on-line, we can ...

The Sleepers have been in our system for too long. There may not be artefacts or databanks to plunder, but it's time to disperse the Sleepers lurking in the various cosmic anomalies. We have so far preferred to enter neighbouring systems to reap the profits available, saving the ...
