Tracking Tengus

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

I pay only a brief visit to our neighbouring w-space system today, at least to start with. I follow Fin in to the class 3 system shortly before she reports seeing a Heron, two Tengus, and wrecks on her directional scanner. We ignore the frigate and concentrate on the pair ...

Low-sec Retribution

Sunday, May 1st, 2011

Glorious leader Fin's here and scanning. She resolves our static wormhole almost as soon as I arrive, letting me ride on her coat-tails to jump in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system right behind her. The directional scanner shows no sign of ships, letting us launch probes and take ...

Making back the ISK

Saturday, April 30th, 2011

I'm feeling like a burden on the corporation wallet at the moment. My extravagant purchase of the Golem marauder, its deadspace shield booster almost doubling the cost of the ship, and yesterday's loss of my Legion strategic cruiser are weighing on me. I have been contributing to filling the wallet ...

Never go back

Friday, April 29th, 2011

Damn. I'm meant to be getting food to calm my grumbling tummy, but jumping back from the idle class 2 w-space system in to our neighbouring C3, and only one jump from home, I see two Dominix battleships on my directional scanner. The local tower is far on the other ...

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 ...

If at first you don't succeed, bring more ships

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

It looks like collapsing the wormhole attracted the attention of some capsuleers hoping to catch a juicy Orca prize. Thankfully Mick and I were around and in suitable enough ships to repel the attack and protect the industrial command ship, as well as Fin being prepared for such an assault ...

Action comes to us

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

We partake of some light Sleeper combat to start the evening. There are two class 2 w-space systems connecting in to our home C4, but one has allies and the other is inactive. Our neighbouring C3 is not particularly interesting either, but we may as well make some profit from ...

Upsetting negotiations

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

I need to kill some time, but killing a miner seems like a good alternative. I'm pootling around looking for something to do when a newly piloted Retriever warps out of the tower of our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, apparently off to strip some rocks of ore. I'm already ...

Bargaining with an ambusher

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Our neighbouring w-space system holds plenty of profit today. A full twenty-one anomalies wait to be harvested, along with whatever sites can be found amongst the other twelve signatures, the plentiful resources explained by this being what must be one of the few remaining unoccupied class 3 systems in w-space. ...

Wormhole colours

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

Telling which class w-space system you are about to enter appears to remain an art, or perhaps some kind of witchcraft. To the untrained capsuleer the indecipherable letter and numbers that float near the wormhole mean nothing, and coming at it from the wrong side only gives you the standard ...
