Too tired to do much

Monday, January 24th, 2011

There are more missing signatures at home. I imagine Fin has been harvesting gas, which is relatively quick to do and helps declutter our class 4 w-space system. I delete the bookmarks to obviously missing signatures but don't perform a full scan of the system, instead resolving our static wormhole ...

Looking to get a Noctis

Friday, December 31st, 2010

We have big neighbours today, the class 3 w-space system occupied and holding a Chimera and Orca, amongst other ships. The carrier and industrial command ship float gently inside the local tower's shields, with an Onyx heavy interdictor and Drake battlecruiser nearby, none of them piloted. My probes find a ...

Scouting for scouts

Sunday, December 26th, 2010

There are twelve scanning probes in our home system, which is not only enough for anyone but too many for just one pilot. We have at least a couple of visitors. In an attempt to keep a low profile I swap the Buzzard covert operations boat I sleep in for ...

Spooking a salvager

Sunday, December 12th, 2010

I am left a single bookmark, pointing to our home w-space system's static wormhole. I shall take advantage of this act of generosity and explore what lies beyond. Jumping in to our neighbouring class 3 system shows promise, as there are sisters core scanning probes and some armour maintenance bots ...

Almost ready for anything

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

It looks like the class 4 w-space pulsar system we have claimed is going to be ours uncontested. A routine check of my directional scanner shows that the previous occupants' tower has been renamed, now called 'bye bye'. I imagine the loss of so many expensive assets is too much ...

Taking down the tower

Monday, November 1st, 2010

The tower is coming down. Peacefully, though. Most of our ships and other assets are already in empire space, now it is time to start unanchoring defences and modules, shipping them out of w-space in to temporary storage. My Crane transport ship is already sitting in a station somewhere in ...

Starting to move w-space systems

Friday, October 29th, 2010

The move to a class 5 w-space system is on. We are leaving our class 4 home behind us to progress towards owning capital ships and fighting the Sleeper escalations they create, deeper w-space connections, and more dangerous neighbours. The first stage is effectively complete, a suitable C5 found with ...

Tackling a Tengu

Monday, October 25th, 2010

It's getting to the point where I don't even see the bookmarks. I just see an active static wormhole, an exit five hops from Jita, an incoming connection to a class 4 system. Colleagues inform me of some earlier PvP in the C4 that connects in to us, and that ...

Catching a coincidental Curse

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

My Malediction interecptor is launched, I board it and warm up its systems, then plunge it towards our static wormhole. A new connection has opened in the w-space constellation, bringing with it active pilots, and the hunt is on. I warp through our adjoining class 4 system to the connection ...

Gunning for gas miners

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

The Bhaalgorn has gone, the C2 is quiet again. I take my Manticore stealth bomber back in to the previous class 4 w-space system and onwards through its static wormhole to another C4, where some minor activity has been seen. A Drake looked to be sweeping a ladar site of ...
