Scanning is a perverse activity. By stripping it down to a series of steps that can be described simply I am making the process algorithmic, which means it could be performed automatically by a computer. Presumably, our powerful spaceships have computers on-board, except maybe Minmatar ships, and as they are ...

Fin's found a wormhole as I arrive, but it's not our static connection. It's easy to assume that the first wormhole you resolve will be what you're expecting to find, especially in your own home system, but we're staring at the bloody pustule that is a K162 from deadly class ...

The Fin Report: we're at the end of the universe. My glorious leader is ahead of me and scanning, quite thoroughly, our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. It has 'two exits to low-sec, about four jumps apart, in the arse end of Khanid—one hop from Aridia'. And now the weather ...

I have a new Sleeper boat to buy. Losing Pengu, my first Tengu strategic cruiser, was harsh but reminded me that w-space is dangerous and that I need to pay attention. And I need to buy a new boat, otherwise we won't be able to shoot Sleepers to earn the ...

We've chased away a Loki and got ourselves a quiet w-space constellation again. Now it's time to make some iskies. Our neighbouring class 3 system has plenty of anomalies to plunder but I would prefer to eradicate the last of the Sleepers at home, a couple of anomalies sprouting up ...

My glorious leader is in our neighbouring system as I arrive. There's nothing to see in w-space at the moment, apparently, causing her to turn around and guide me to our static wormhole so that I can help scan. I pause only to note that some of the sites in ...

I'm returning home through empty w-space after a scanning expedition. I had to divert through low-sec empire space to continue the constellation, but finding an outbound connection to class 5 w-space only led to unoccupied and empty systems. The occupation I've come across tonight has been in spurs from our ...

I'm slowly but steadily reaching a milestone with the chronicling of my adventures in New Eden and beyond. I long ago passed having written one thousand posts, not even noticing as the number of posts published reached four digits. However, I am yet to reach one thousand posts tagged with ...

An empty home system makes for a relaxing start to the evening. Scanning finds three new signatures, a magnetometric site I make a note of, a ladar site I activate, and the static wormhole to class 3 w-space. Home system map updated, I jump out to explore. My directional scanner ...

I'm alone at home today, with one extra signature to keep me company. Or maybe I'm not entirely alone, as the signature turns out to be a K162 from class 3 w-space. I also resolve our static wormhole and bookmark its position, but my first jump will be through the ...
