Salvaging empty space

Monday, December 6th, 2010

Today seems like a good day to bring Constance in to w-space. I am by myself and opportunities for profit or mayhem are reduced, but this way I can still make myself useful. I don't think Constance is quite ready to act as an emergency scanner but getting her in ...

Bringing the Orca back home

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

It's time to get Fin home. Having stranded her in an Orca industrial command ship in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system I feel somewhat guilty, the wormhole having collapsed behind me. Hopefully I will be able to find an exit to empire space through our new static connection 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 ...

Fetching a Falcon

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

We have a route to high-sec empire space and I have iskies to burn. I'm going to buy a new ship. I am often considering different ships I could use for PvP engagements but am never really sure what to get. I know I need more options ...

A strategic purchase

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

An empty home system makes the static wormhole easy to find. My Buzzard covert operations boat is pushed through the connection to the class 4 w-space system on the other side, where a clear scan lets me launch probes in relative safety. I bookmark the wormhole's location and, ...

Scanning and salvaging

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Early scanning sees me chasing the static wormhole around our system. Or, at least, its signature. I'm used to having the occasional cosmic signature be elusive but it is a new experience to need several scans to resolve the wormhole from a probabilistic ring to a single point ...

Flying through a hostile bubble

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

An exit to empire space has been found. Even better, it is only three jumps from Jita. Jita may be a wretched hive of scum and villainy, but it has good shops. And as it is the market capital of Caldari space, I should be able to ...

I sometimes feel like a non-profit organisation

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Currently in EVE Online I have a plan. Yea, it is a good plan, as it has a short-term goal that not only doesn't encroach on my previous aims but encourages me to spend more time in New Eden, in order to make enough profit to afford the new ...

Coming home to Caldari

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Having quit my corporation in EVE Online I leave myself in Minmatar space with several PvP-fitted ships, a mission-running Drake battlecruiser and a salvaging Cormorant, and plenty of recovered modules. My next step is uncertain, so I ponder my options. I have thought about broadening my skills, teaching myself more ...

Floating in space

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

The autopilot's warning that I was entering a low-sec system should have been... well, a warning. I have loaded the cargo hold of my Drake up with useful systems that I don't want to buy again when I reach my new corporation's base of operations and am slowly jumping ...
