It's time to roam. I jump in my Manticore stealth bomber and prepare to scout the neighbouring w-space systems for targets. Even though, or maybe because, we pop and pod a Probe pilot earlier I am not expecting to find much, particularly as our connecting systems are unoccupied, ...

A new day, a new neighbourhood. I head out in my Buzzard to double-team our scanning effort with our scan man. As usual, finding the static wormhole in our home system is easy, as we are dry of other signatures. Our neighbouring system is rich, though, and ...

Stuck in empire space, I return to the reassuring information that our scan man is out on his regular reconnoitre of w-space. He is currently in the system neighbouring our own, which is unoccupied and holds a couple of dozen signatures, so scanning could take a while. With ...

No one from the corporation is around, our system is empty of intruders, I suppose I'll scan. The three signatures in our home system are a gravimetric site that we've yet to strip, and two wormholes. One is the system's static wormhole, the other an inbound wormhole that ...

I get an early start today. I move out of the tower's shields in my Buzzard and start scanning in the hopes of finding an exit that will make amends for my incompetence of yesterday, which indirectly led to colleagues getting stuck outside of w-space. Our home system's ...

The evening starts promisingly. There are lots of bookmarks waiting in the can, tempting me to go roaming in my Manticore stealth bomber again. But warping to our static wormhole reveals that the bookmarks are a day stale, so instead I swap in to my Buzzard scanning boat ...

As others have done, please allow me to share with you the ships I have put in the communal hangar in w-space, and like to call my own.
Drake—Non-sentient Ship
The passive shield tanked battlecruiser has been my staple combat ship for longer than I can remember. As soon as I ...

It doesn't look like there will be an Azerothian adventure tonight. The two of us available remove our leather britches and don thrilling space trousers and head in to New Eden. Or, at least, some region of w-space possibly connected tenuously with New Eden. We arrive at ...

Wormholes are passively dangerous. Connecting to other w-space systems makes wormholes natural attractors to predators, and as they act as cosmic bodies they decloak prey trying to sneak through them. If you have no cloaking device, the normal methods of navigation and jumping apply to wormholes, noting that ...

A mining barge sometimes isn't enough, particularly a mining barge used as bait. With Sleeper destruction wrapped up for the evening I visit our connected w-space systems to look for any activity. Nothing in our neighbouring system's tower has changed, and four more systems across the wreck of ...
