Countering counter-counter measures

Friday, December 28th, 2012

It's just me in an empty system. Even our twin gas clouds have buggered off to give fluffy hugs in another system. I should have appreciated the company of those useless bastards more when they were here. But what's this? A new signature in the home system? What will it ...

My first Rifter

Thursday, December 27th, 2012

Oh my, that's a lot of signatures. Granted, it's not so many when I revert my filter to not show structures, and when I'm no longer looking at all of the many parts and defences of our tower I'm left with just one new signature. That's about right. And, hey, ...

Scout in a pod

I have limited time, so I'll employ some blitz scanning to take me through today's constellation. A new signature in the home system resolving to be a second wormhole is a good start to my exploration, and I may as well jump through the K162 from class 3 w-space to ...

Just another day in w-space

Sunday, December 23rd, 2012

Could I be so lucky? Popping the gassing Moa cruiser and heading backwards to more unexplored w-space puts me in directional scanner range of seven Retrievers and a Bestower. But there is also a tower visible on d-scan in this class 2 system, and a quick check puts the hauler ...

Bump and nuzzle

Wednesday, November 28th, 2012

I'm kinda hoping the static connection in our neighbouring system is dead. It started wobbling earlier, putting it in the last stage of its life, but I don't know exactly when. The wormhole's collapse will kill the promising constellation I have already scanned, but at least it will offer a ...

Sharing a connection

Saturday, November 24th, 2012

I'll see if I can stick to my natural habitat of w-space tonight. Popping a salvager in null-sec was okay, but it didn't seem to be much of a challenge for some reason. A second wormhole in the home system makes me optimistic that I can stay out of k-space, ...

Missing ships is understandable, missing a tower is careless

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

I've made my decision. There's no point heading back through the wormhole that leads me to reds, not after I have taken a pot-shot at one of them and have concluded that they are waiting for me. That pretty much leaves me one direction to travel, although I suppose I ...

Failing to follow-through

Sunday, October 14th, 2012

The last signature in the class 3 w-space system resolves to be a radar site, just like the other two non-wormhole signatures. Those sites are pretty useless in w-space, which is why they tend to get ignored, but I don't really mind. I don't even mind that the two wormholes ...

Taking the high-sec hint and getting a Falcon

Monday, October 8th, 2012

Fin, Aii, and two wormholes. What a pleasant start to the evening. The K162 in the home system comes from class 2 w-space, and my glorious leader reports that she's just resolved an outbound connection to class 1 w-space to go with the exit to high-sec empire space. That sounds ...

Looking for trouble

Friday, September 28th, 2012

I remember now. There's an N968 in this system. I just got a bit distracted by the gas harvesting operation through a K162 to class 5 w-space. But now that I have disrupted the operation, by podding the pilot hauling gas in his Badger, and fleeing from the fairly prompt ...
