Not getting involved

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Two holes to penetrate sounds like fun! One is our static wormhole, leading to class 3 w-space, the other is a K162 coming from class 2 w-space. As the K162 must have been opened from the other side there is more likely to be activity in the C2, so I ...

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 ...

Roaming local w-space

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

A bookmark leads me to our static wormhole, but no further. It's up to me to explore the vast new frontier before me today, how exciting! And by 'vast new frontier' I apparently mean 'the same class 3 w-space system we were in only three days ago'. We came, we ...

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 ...

Sleeper bookends

Monday, June 13th, 2011

What news? 'Nada.' Fin's monitoring the C3 and reports zero activity, and my heading in the other direction sees one connection to be reaching the end of its natural lifetime, so I leave it alone. We may as well try to be productive and, despite there being no anomalies in ...

Scouting for targets

Monday, June 13th, 2011

It looks like our tower is under attack! A rather puny attack against one gun, but it's still damage inflicted on us. This means war. After which many used to buy bulk ammo online to keep themselves safe.Or maybe it means Mick was testing his tower defence skills, where the ...

Isolated Sleeper combat

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

There is movement afoot in a nearby class 4 w-space system. An Anathema covert operations boat may be headed my way, spotted by glorious leader Fin sitting on the K162 connection between our neighbouring C3 and the C4. She has scouted the system and seen a couple of combat ships ...

Scanning around battlecruisers

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

Spurred by recent success I am out scanning early again. I am hoping that some preliminary legwork will let me roam freely a little later, hopefully catching pilots by surprise, but it looks like I may do that sooner than expected. Jumping in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system ...

Finishing with a Ferox

Friday, June 10th, 2011

Stimulated from some stealth bomber kills we head back home to explore the new w-space system connecting in to us, looking for more action. Mick spotted a scout in the class 2 system earlier and if he's still out and about maybe we can catch him. Better still, we can ...

Bomber baiting

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

W-space is waking up. A Mammoth podding has got me out of the doldrums, and it looks like the hauler may be just the poppadoms before the curry. A Tengu strategic cruiser has been detected on my directional scanner out in this second class 3 w-space system and Mick is ...
