Finally making some ISK

Wednesday, November 20th, 2013

I'm going to see if being in space for a while can perk me up a little. I can update my skill queue at least, which isn't too shabby considering that it means I'm less than a day away from having all the battleship skills at level V. I would be ...

Stale constellations

Saturday, November 2nd, 2013

There is no change in the home system beyond the standard wormhole churn. I say hello to people, delete and move bookmarks, and scan and resolve the new static wormhole. Jumping through to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system and updating my directional scanner sees the pretty normal sight of ...

Crossing Aridia

Saturday, August 24th, 2013

I have time for a short poke around the constellation. If I'm lucky, there will be a planet gooer in our neighbouring system which I can pop and come straight back home, satisfied with a brief stint in space. But what are the odds? Home looks bare, and I'm relying ...

Past versus present

Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013

There's a Hulk visible on my directional scanner. I'd be more excited about seeing the exhumer if I weren't in the home system, and the Hulk didn't bear such a familiar name. Quite why the ship is in space is more of a mystery, as I am the only one ...

Chasing a chsomething Cheetah

Monday, July 1st, 2013

What's in our empty system? How about my glorious leader? Nope, she's in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, which is occupied but empty and waits to be scanned. I can help with scanning, so head that way, but halt on the wormhole. 'Hold on, a Tengu has just popped ...

Blowing up billions

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013

Yesterday's gas cloud has dispersed, so it's just me and the wormhole in the home w-space system. Oh, hmm, and that Tengu. The strategic cruiser appears when I first ping my directional scanner, curiously after I check to see if the gas is still around. But there he is, a ...

Wormhole spotting

Friday, March 8th, 2013

Our poppet's on-line, but where? 'Scanning, at home.' Great, let's do it, and get Fin home. A pretty bare home system is livened up by a single extra signature, which even though it's some gas is pretty exciting after having scummy visitors almost strip us clean of any resource. Otherwise ...

Exiting exhumer

Monday, February 11th, 2013

What's up, space? Not much. A few new anomalies in the home system, that's about it. And what about our neighbouring class 3 w-space system? Also quiet. There's a canister named 'D's stuff' visible on my directional scanner, but nothing else of interest. The small, 10·5 AU diameter system even manages ...

Between a Rokh and a hard vacuum

Saturday, December 15th, 2012

I'm out looking for activity, and hoping to find more than yesterday. I suppose that shouldn't be difficult, as a single moving ship will do the trick. A second signature in the home system isn't going to offer any help, being a mere ladar site, so I resolve the static ...

Ducks and dopes

Friday, December 14th, 2012

Fin's here, and my glorious leader has been scanning. I wonder what rich systems she's found for harvesting Sleeper loot, or if she's spotted any half-awake haulers pottering inside force fields waiting to collect planet goo. 'We got nothing.' Okay then. Our static connection takes us to an occupied ...
