Reduced to flipping cans

Friday, August 12th, 2011

Another thief strikes our corporation, stealing an Orca industrial command ship and escaping through a now-collapsed wormhole. It's just not cricket. There's nothing much we can do about it now, although it prompts another discussion about how to partition assets better, given the rather coarse tools at our disposal in ...

Returning to the fold

Monday, July 18th, 2011

Still on hiatus from our class 4 w-space home, glorious leader Fin and I may have opportunity to base ourselves out of w-space again. A second arm of our corporation, operating out of a class 5 system, have an exit to high-sec empire space that is close to our current ...

Making like a banana

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

The home system looks quiet. Intelligence puts a maximum of a couple of possible hostile pilots available to cause disruption, but none seen locally recently. My mission can go ahead, and I start scanning for an exit. The static wormhole leading to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system is easy ...

Sneaking up on miners

Friday, July 1st, 2011

Another day, another high-sec adventure. An empty first system moves me on to a second where I resolve two wormholes, giving me options. I choose to explore through the K162 from class 1 w-space first, leaving the class 2 w-space as an alternative. And my choice looks promising, as my ...

Malinterception

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

There are lots of wormholes today, and directions to all of them are available in convenient bookmark form. I copy the bookmarks to the nav-comp of my Manticore stealth bomber and go out for a roam. 'But no one in space', Mick tells me as I leave. We'll see about ...

Missing gas and getting rocks

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

There is w-space activity today, but it may already be too late for me. 'I spooked their salvager', Mick tells me of a corporation in a class 4 system connecting to our neighbouring C3. Mick's now sitting in a cloaked heavy interdictor on the K162 in the C3 waiting for ...

With a rebel yell

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

The static wormhole has been mapped for our home system, but nothing further. I copy the bookmark from our shared can to my nav-comp and head out to explore our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. Punching my directional scanner gets me a little excited until I realise all those Mastodon ...

Hassling a Hulk pilot

Monday, May 9th, 2011

The home system is still empty on my return, and it's perhaps a little optimistic to hope that the neighbours are out harvesting gas in the lone site in their class 3 w-space system. I am keen to find out, though, so I board my Manticore stealth bomber and take ...

Stealth bomber scanning

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

There's plenty to explore today, judging by the number of bookmarks stuffed in to our shared can. No one else is around at the moment, so I jump in to my Manticore stealth bomber to take a solo roam around our w-space constellation. Our neighbouring class 3 system has been ...

Sleepers after a Hulk

Monday, April 4th, 2011

It's just me and Fin again. Mick chased an Orca industrial command ship collapsing a wormhole, and the wormhole collapsed. He's isolated out in empire space until we can find a new entrance for him to use. Scanning is a daily task, though, so hopefully we can get him back ...
