At last the Drake

Monday, December 9th, 2013

It's time for bed. Great story, Penny. See you all tomorrow. But wait: returning through low-sec and in to class 3 w-space has the Drake battlecruiser visible on my directional scanner. I see two towers too, but those two towers are the two towers in the inner system. The Drake ...

Biting hard in to the bait

Sunday, December 8th, 2013

Out to low-sec, launch probes, and scan. That Drake battlecruiser in the second class 3 w-space system in our constellation is doing nothing, and as I don't want to join him in that endeavour I'm reverting to Plan B. There are two extra signatures in this low-sec system, which I ...

Missing the action

Saturday, December 7th, 2013

'I am hauling.' So says my glorious leader as I come on-line, immediately indicating that our wormhole is open and the constellation scanned, at least to some extent. But the wormholes are ageing, Fin 'being cavalier about the exit, as I know we can get another'. The static exit to ...

Finding bored pilots

Monday, December 2nd, 2013

No more relic sites for me for a while. I would say I've had my fill of them in the past few days. If I must do one, it will be because I've scanned a stupidly expensive blueprint in one of the containers. Then again, knowing me, if I have ...

Trying to ignore distractions

Monday, November 18th, 2013

I have no expectations for this evening. I'll just get myself on-line and see what's out there. Of course, that's not to say I won't be disappointed, but with any luck my level of disappointment will be greatly reduced. For example, it's disappointing to find that all but two of ...

N968 appreciation day

Sunday, November 10th, 2013

Will I see explosions tonight, Mr W-space? Not at home, unless I take a frigate in to one of our gas pockets, and that is more of a last resort. So it's resolving and jumping through our static wormhole for me, where once in our neighbouring class 3 system I ...

Honing a mostly pointless skill

Wednesday, October 30th, 2013

I'm not even supposed to be here today. But I'll try to make the best of it, as long as somebody hasn't jammed chewing gum in to our static wormhole so it won't open. Bunch of savages in w-space. The known sites have faded away, but my probes reveal five ...

At the end of its life

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013

Will there be ships or wormholes for me tonight? Well, I can't see any ships at home, so I'll stick to wormholes for now. And, what luck, there are three of them for me to resolve. I had a hunch one would be our static connection to class 3 w-space, ...

Less of an odyssey

Sunday, October 20th, 2013

Moving a literally unexaggerated thousand bookmarks of wormholes from my active folders to the 'old' folder, I undo in seconds all the effort of yesterday to start today's exploration. It's nice and easy in the home system again, with a known site to ignore and the replacement static connection to ...

Hacking a Cheetah

Sunday, October 13th, 2013

I'm back, with options. The neighbouring occupants could have woken up, a new wormhole could have opened in the constellation, or, most likely, the static exit to high-sec has died and been replaced. Not a bad start is seeing that the K162 from class 4 w-space connecting to our home ...
