Watching Sleepers rattle a snake

Monday, May 7th, 2012

All alone in space again, so sad. It's just me and my gas. Hey, maybe that's why I'm alone. I need to get rid of the gas! Damn, I think I'm suffering from space madness, so enough of the high jinks and on to exploring the w-space constellation for today. ...

Enemy connection

Thursday, April 5th, 2012

It's quiet out there. Not too-quiet-I'm-about-to-get-horribly-killed quiet, but Fin's connection is still less stable than an Amarrian ship's capacitor. I'm flying mostly solo for now, so hopefully I don't get too reckless in losing strategic cruisers. And it's not so quiet at home as to deny extra exploration opportunities, there ...

Rolling rampage

Friday, March 9th, 2012

Today is a perfect day to go on a rolling rampage. Fin and I have been looking forward to it for a while, and now it's time explore systems quickly and systematically in a hunt for newly off-line towers. I'm keen enough to get started that I get on-line early, ...

Spotted planning an ambush

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

It's a beautiful but mysterious process. I see scanning probes in the home system, leave for a few minutes, and return for them to have metamorphosed in to a rampaging fleet of destruction. It's nature's wonder, really. This time, the fleet consists of seven Tengu strategic cruisers and a single ...

Intercepting exports

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

I was thinking about having a night off from space and, as I find myself here anyway, my heart may not be in it as a result. But if there's one lesson I've learnt during my mercurial moods it's that I'm keen on exploration. There's no direct scanning that needs ...

Executing an ambush

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

My expectation for today is to indulge in a little light ratting, nothing more, but I'm willing to be offered a different opportunity. Maybe some sightseeing first, as our neighbouring class 3 w-space system sports a wonderful example of a magnetar phenomenon. The w-space anomalies are all quite impressive, but ...

Spotted

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

It's all quiet in the home system, I've little choice but to scan. Well, I suppose I could shoot rocks or gas or... so, I've little choice but to scan. But even scanning can't have me avoid running in to gas, with two new ladar sites cropping up, making our ...

Incidental null-sec ratting

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Early exploration finds the home system clear, but not recently. Most of our anomalies are missing, no doubt purged by a passing fleet. Still, even if we don't get the profit from the indigenous Sleepers the system looks much tidier this way, leaving me with only a new ladar site ...

Going after gassers

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

My time today is short, but not so short that I can't take a quick look around for a soft target. Scanning at home should remain simple enough, with five registered sites and, um, five signatures. Either we don't have a static wormhole today or one of the sites has ...

Trying to stay safe

Friday, August 5th, 2011

There's some activity today, but sadly only in a w-space system far away. One of our colleagues has got himself isolated and is passing the time by ninjaing Sleeper loot from under the noses of a couple of dreadnoughts. At least, he is until Sleeper frigates get hold of him, ...
