Operations continue in the w-space system we have declared our own, undeterred by occasional losses, even if they are unsettling. It is all a learning experience and as long as we continue to adapt we will be successful and profitable in the rich w-space environment. Despite the loss ...

Not half-an-hour after finding the improved passive shield set-up for my Drake do I complete skill training in armoured warfare specialist I, having achieved armoured warfare V a little earlier, and I am ready to fit my first warfare link module to boost the corporation's battleships in w-space. It's ...

I was finding less and less to keep me entertained between my 80th level warrior and death knight on the US server. I had levelled brand new characters up to the level cap, abandoning a rogue in Zangarmarsh along the way, got the Northrend Dungeonmaster achievement for both of ...

I am back out in high-sec known-space again and I get to try out one or two more fittings for my battlecruiser, trying to improve my current passive set-up. After I complete my previous look at Drake fittings it is only when I'm a few jumps in to my ...

Ooh, this is exciting. Investigating a magnetometric site in w-space, our engineering fleet reveals not only the usual Sleepers and abandoned artefacts but, off in the distance, a deserted Talocan cruiser hull! The thrill of finding something so unusual almost makes me forget to question how the artefacts ...

In our rich little w-space system another radar site crops up on the scanner, waiting to be plundered. Again, a host of Sleeper ships are alert enough turn up to attack, showing that we really ought to have thought of a better name to give them. Even facing ...

Before I leave the current w-space system behind me I have one last task. There is a Rokh that needs to be piloted out of w-space and its owner is not available for a few days. I may have postponed active training in battleship skills many months ago ...

There is a spot of luck when a wormhole opens from the corporation's claimed w-space system in to Minmatar known-space. Admittedly, it is many jumps to the corporation's base, and to my stubbornly situated manufacturing base in the opposite direction, but the wormhole exit is only a few jumps ...

When it comes to replacing my Sleeper-destroyed Drake battlecruiser my instinct is simply to get a new Drake. After all, I've been piloting a Drake for months now, and it is comfortable, reliable and manageable. I like to think I know what I am doing in a Drake. ...
