Crashing a corpse recovery

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Hello, Mr Drake. A new battlecruiser has appeared in the tower of our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, which I find out only on a cursory check whilst on my way home to collapse our static wormhole. The constellation has looked boring so far, glorious leader Fin already shoving an ...

Ten minutes through a dying wormhole

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Glorious leader Fin's been busy. 'C3 is boring, HS static, exit four from Dodixie', all of which is shorthand to say that the class 3 w-space system beyond our static wormhole holds nothing of interest but leads out to high-sec empire space a few jumps from a trade hub. And ...

Hit and run away like a scared schoolgirl

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

The home system looks empty from where I am. I wonder what it's like from the other side, and once I launch scanning probes I warp across the system to find out. Pretty much the same, which I suppose is good. My probes let me know that a couple of ...

A miss and a hit

Monday, December 5th, 2011

There's an interceptor in our home system. I don't feel threatened, though, as the Malediction is bearing the name Sad Panda and is sharing my otherwise empty directional scanner reading with a jet-can. Fin's hunting that errant canister down again. As she gets closer, but still days away from the ...

Dropping on a Drake

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

That Drake's new. Certainly, it's hard to tell a new ship at a glance when there are so many visible on the directional scanner, and made harder when checking d-scan after transiting between systems brings up a completely different display. But I've been vigilantly watching d-scan in this class 3 ...

Slow night ends with Sleepers

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

All the myriad connections from yesterday are no doubt gone, leaving me to see what we're left with today. Surprisingly, it looks like we still have all our anomalies, although that may have more to do with Fin's one-sided flirting in the local channel with a pilot from the connecting ...

Looking back over a thousand posts on EVE Online

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

My first post about EVE Online is short, in the spirit of my journal at the time, merely reporting that I am giving the game a go. It somehow garners zero interest from the community. It is soon followed by first impressions, four days later, a fairly straightforward post about ...

A thousand posts on EVE Online

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

This is the thousandth post I've published tagged with EVE Online. That's quite a few. I think now is a good time to take a look at how my journal has progressed since I started playing, obviously influenced by my involvement in the game, as well as highlight some of ...

Scanning the spectrum

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

It's time to see what's out there today. And it will have to be 'there' because here at home it all looks the same as yesterday. Scanning probes tell a slightly different tale, with a few new signatures cropping up. Although I'm expecting a new static wormhole, there is also ...

A curious container

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

I'm back up to full offensive strength in my Tengu. The recent loss of my previous strategic cruiser knocked some skill points out of my head, but I've relearnt them without much sense of loss, thanks in part to a coincidental short planetside break to watch some live music. All ...
