Backwards scanning

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

I'm out for an early reconnaissance of w-space, and maybe even a trip to empire space. But let's not get carried away too soon. Scanning the home system has some new gas drift in, but nothing else to find apart from the static wormhole. I often wonder if the signatures ...

Chasing transports

Saturday, May 26th, 2012

A bookmark to an unvisited wormhole welcomes my appearance, and rocks, more rocks, and gas do not. But a new signature in the home system may compensate for the missing sites. Two new signatures, in fact, as the bookmarked wormhole has apparently been visited and died of old age already. ...

Getting fuel and more fuel

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Simplistic scanning again today, with our static wormhole sitting alone in the system once more. There's not much to do here but resolve the connection and jump through. And there seems to be little to do in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system too, as my directional scanner shows me ...

Moa and Manticore

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

Back in w-space and looking to see what I can find, I don't even have to wander outside the home system today. Two Moa cruisers, a few drones, and a jet-can are all visible on my directional scanner, once I move from my hiding spot to be closer to the ...

Putting the ship together

Sunday, April 1st, 2012

What's up, space? Nothing here, Penny, space would say. But space is an idiot, because the magnetometric sites in our home w-space system are strangely disappeared, which means that the expected balance of signatures to bookmarks is actually showing me some new signals. One of the signatures is replacement magnetometric ...

Catching a Crane

Saturday, March 31st, 2012

I have no idea where that battleship went. I popped his scouting colleague on a wormhole, whose pod then fled across this vast class 3 w-space system, but where they both ended up I don't know. I doubt they went to our home system, as there are no K162 wormholes ...

Scanning through w-space

Saturday, March 10th, 2012

A fresh day brings another chance to look for some fallout. And by 'more' I mean 'our first taste', which isn't quite the same. Getting out to explore is nice and simple in a system with only a known ladar site to act as a distraction from the static wormhole, ...

Low-sec piracy

Saturday, February 25th, 2012

It's a new day. I have loot to trade in for a Golem marauder. Whether I can do that or not depends on how kind w-space will be to me today. There is nothing new at home and resolving our static wormhole is as easy as ABC, that being its ...

Missing a Magnate and mashing a Mammoth

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

I'm back, and curious to see if my earlier scouting will bag me any targets. I have a few systems to roam through, so ditch my scanning boat for a stealth bomber, aiming the Manticore towards our static wormhole once my system checks are completed. Core scanning probes are visible ...

Stalking a system for a salvager

Saturday, February 11th, 2012

It's getting untidy at home. Some gas has gone but more has cropped up in the meantime, creating a mess that I cannot eradicate quickly enough. I activate the new sites and ignore them for now, jumping to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. Two towers show occupation but there's ...
