Finding some miners

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

There is an awful lot of scanning to do when in the uncharted area that is w-space. Back in k-space, I tend to take many situations for granted. I can jump from one system to another through a stargate visible on any navigational computer, even being able to ...

Damnation plush toy

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

The Damnation command ship is a beautiful piece of engineering. The sleek lines of the prow give it a menacing apperance, but the plump, stubby wings make it look comforting. The Damnation has the capability of hurting its enemies whilst welcoming allies with a warm embrace. Almost ...

Extra skill books

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Poking my nose out in of w-space, I find myself in Amarr territory. If this is what passes as civilisation I think I'll go back to the Sleepers. Actually, I'll gome home to Caldari space, which is a much better option. On the journey, I browse the ...

Adding bookmarks to the overview

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Whilst scanning my way through a few w-space systems I notice that bookmarked locations appear on the system map. It leads me to consider how bookmarks could be shown elsewhere. Instead of relying on an unwieldy window of folders full of bookmarks, having to select the desired one ...

Vigilant mining

Friday, November 20th, 2009

It's another quiet evening mining in w-space. Even the Sleeper 'roid rats appear a considerate 80 km away from my Retriever, giving me plenty of time to warp away. The Sleepers are quickly dealt with in my Drake, and cleaned up in a Cormorant, and I settle down back ...

Meet the boss

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

As part of a bloggural exchange, I am forced delighted to introduce fellow pod pilot and master of science, Kename Fin, author of Our EVE. But I can't possibly do justice to the many responsibilities Fin assumes in keeping under control the industrialists, wannabe-PvPers, and occasional fools found in ...

Klingon manoeuvres

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Patience is a virtue, and capsuleers of stealth bombers need to have it in abundance. Sitting in their lair of a quiet pocket of space, waiting for unsuspecting pilots to wander in to the kill zone, stealth bombers are not ships for the impatient. I can't be entirely ...

Firework display in w-space

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Finding myself alone at our tower in w-space encourages me to try find an exit wormhole. Despite my previous poor attempt at scanning, I have a couple of points in my favour from the last time. First, I am on my main rig, with a bigger screen and ...

How to show poor leadership skills

Friday, November 13th, 2009

The drama llama pays me a visit, and I am not diplomatically agile enough to dodge its spiteful spit. The fuss starts innocently enough, well over a month ago, when a new member to the corporation joins us in w-space and wants to try out a new ship fitting. ...

Lone Drake versus Sleepers

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

The w-space system connecting to our own holds a pulsar. The blue spatial phenomenon pulses with energy that affects a ship's shields, significantly boosting their strength. The pulsar is not terribly exciting for the non-Caldari pilots, but luckily none of them are around. Unluckily, there are few ...
