Moving out

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

Today could be the day, an exit to high-sec empire space is being scanned by scouts as I arrive at the tower. The exit system even turns out to be a few hops from The Citadel region, which sounds good to me. I'll make my escape tonight, with as many ...

Abandoned Talocan battleships in class 5 w-space

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

It looks like another fleet is forming to engage Sleepers. I join the fleet, despite yesterday's experience, and seeing that we will be flying armour-tanked ships today I get my Damnation out of the hangar. I have faith in the command ship's presence in the field, the warfare links aiding ...

Ready for nothing

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

A fleet is engaging Sleepers, and unusually using their shields to soak up attacks. I presume a couple of Basilisk logistics ships are keeping the shields replenished, allowing me to join the action more directly. All I need is a suitable ship. I consider taking my Damnation command ship in ...

Clearing a path home

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Another convenient exit presents itself. It isn't quite as convenient as a K162 from high-sec opening directly in to our system, but it is a good opportunity for me to bring my few remaining ships in to our new class 5 w-space home. The route to empire space takes me ...

My first battleship

Friday, November 5th, 2010

Fortune smiles on us. A route to empire space is found right on our door-step, a K162 found in our system that connects us to high-sec space, and the exit system is only four hops from Jita. I have a plan for bringing my ships back in to w-space, but ...

Starting to move w-space systems

Friday, October 29th, 2010

The move to a class 5 w-space system is on. We are leaving our class 4 home behind us to progress towards owning capital ships and fighting the Sleeper escalations they create, deeper w-space connections, and more dangerous neighbours. The first stage is effectively complete, a suitable C5 found with ...

Deterring a Drake

Friday, October 15th, 2010

The static wormhole clings to what little life it has left, collapsing almost an hour after it was expected to. But goes it does and now we can explore our new w-space constellation. A corporation scout resolves the new static wormhole in our home system and three more of us ...

Disrupting an ad-hoc supply line

Monday, October 4th, 2010

Our static wormhole is collapsed, we are again isolated and can start to earn some ISK to pay for the ships we lost to the returning strategic cruisers. An anomaly and radar site are currently in our system, offering easy opportunity for iskies, and the fleet reforms to engage the ...

A C2 for ambitious pilots

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Damnation, I choose you! Turning up fashionably late to Sleeper combat means the corporation fleet already has two Guardian logistic ships and I can pilot my cuddly command ship instead. I'm not just in it for the aesthetics, the warfare links will provide the Guardians with more spare capacitor energy ...

Threatening a Thrasher

Friday, September 24th, 2010

It's scanning time. Our static wormhole has been collapsed in a smooth operation and there is a new one to find, and a constellation of w-space systems beyond it to explore. Keeping our home system relatively clear of anomalies and signatures makes wormholes easy to find and resolve, and I ...
