Calling on a camping carrier

Friday, November 19th, 2010

I'm going back to w-space, but only roaming in my stealth bomber through the local wormholes I've found. The class 3 w-space system is my first destination, earlier not looking to be too threatening, but as I drop out of warp the wormhole flares, signalling passage of a ship. I ...

Scanning and sites in empire space

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

I spend a quiet night moving ships. Two wormholes led to two systems, luckily only six stargate passages apart, and my ships get split between two stardocks. It isn't far to collect the ships, although it takes some time to do so, and my thoughts of training for a Charon ...

Scanning high-sec for wormholes

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

It's time to start looking for a new w-space home. I haven't scanned my way in to w-space from empire space before, only looking for exits previously. Finding one specific system via randomly spawning and connected wormholes is a lesson in futility, which is why I never tried finding my ...

A low-sec distraction

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

To take my mind off the inactive skill queue Fin and I head to low-sec. Fin has fitted a couple of Drake battlecruisers to be agile and hard-hitting, sacrificing most of the passive tank as a compromise, and we're going to look for trouble. Roaming around w-space can be quiet, ...

Welcome to space

Monday, November 15th, 2010

I get a call from an old friend, someone I never thought I'd hear from again. Capsuleers are like that, thinking themselves immortal and above us normals. You'd think that space pilots would understand there is no 'up' or 'down' in space, but there you go. It's nice to hear ...

Begin again

Monday, November 15th, 2010

I've left my w-space home shortly after moving in, but I want to go back. Okay, not back to the class 5 system, but certainly back to w-space. I don't think I can make a home in empire space at the moment and still have a strong connection to w-space ...

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 ...

Looking for a way out

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

Scanning has me looking for a specific target, and it's not a ship but a wormhole. I want an exit to high-sec empire space so I can start moving my ships out of the corporation's class 5 w-space system, the more discreetly the better. I would rather be gone before ...

Finding some perspective

Friday, November 12th, 2010

The fight with the Drakes was superb. The routine check of the directional scanner by a hauler saw the ships, after which good communications and complementary ship selection, combined with capsuleer experience and skills, sees a successful and exciting engagement. It was almost just what I needed to get over ...

Three little ducks

Friday, November 12th, 2010

I'm stirred by an alert. A colleague reports battlecruisers in the class 3 w-space system, two jumps from our own. A Cyclone and three Drakes are spotted by a pilot returning from empire space in a hauler, the combat ships sharing a directional scanner reading with some Sleeper wrecks. My ...
