Simple exploration

Friday, November 12th, 2010

I spur myself in to action, grabbing bookmarks from the can and going out to explore. I may not have any actual scanning to do, as the bookmarked w-space constellation appears to end in empire space, but I can at least scout the systems with my own sensors. Our static ...

Passive scanning

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Scanning is complete, and I haven't lifted a finger. We have a simple constellation today, heading through our neighbouring class 5 w-space system in to a C1, then exiting to low-sec empire space. A wormhole opens up from low-sec in to the C5 too, which is all our scouts have ...

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 ...

Scanning from a class 5 w-space home

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

Our longer-living static wormhole is dead. The connection in our new class 5 w-space home lasts for twenty-four hours instead of the sixteen of our C4 home, which is taking a little getting used to. But now that it has gone I have an opportunity to get a feel for ...

In space, no one can hear me sulk

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Another day, another chance to explore w-space. I copy the available bookmarks in our shared can and warp to the static wormhole in my Buzzard covert operations boat. Jumping in to the connecting class 5 w-space system lets me revisit a system I was in only a month ago and ...

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 ...

Second-day frustrations

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

A new day brings a new constellation to explore, and with it new hope. The bookmarks in our shared can look current, and there are no notes about unstable wormholes. I copy them to my nav-comp and take my Buzzard covert operations boat out to reconnoitre the connecting systems, and ...

First-day frustrations

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

Holy crap, that looks complicated. I was warned that moving to live in a class 5 w-space system with a static connection to another C5 would put us further from potential exits, but finding thirty-one bookmarks waiting in our shared can is quite daunting, if only because copying bookmarks is ...
