Patience for podding

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Yesterday was a bust. Exploring the constellation found a K162 connection in the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, red-occupied too, and although there was a pilot wandering around in an Anathema covert operations boat there was not much for me to do. And even less, once my cloaking device went ...

Me and my Widow

Monday, September 26th, 2011

I'm hoping that scanning early will catch some capsuleers off-guard. There must be pilots out there somewhere, as a whole bunch of the anomalies in our home w-space system have gone missing, I just need to find out where they are all hiding. The pilots are not in our neighbouring ...

Empty space is empty

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

We're not at war, how disappointing. Maybe the angry pilot decided not to waste his iskies on declaring war on a w-space corporation, where all space is lawless space and we're unlikely to bump in to each other again through random connections, or he calmed down a bit. Either way, ...

Inciting incidents

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

There are seven signatures at home today, which means new sites or extra wormholes. Or both! How exciting. I activate a new ladar site, hoping for it to pop but instead giving it a slow puncture, and drop out of warp in front of a K162 from class 5 w-space. ...

Hounding and hounded

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

We rejoin our hero after she's already seen the signs of a trap and avoided taking the bait, and navigating dangerous low-sec space and taking evasive action to avoid a gate camp, all to get her colleague home. Our hero, in case you're wondering, is me. Don't rush to praise ...

Avoiding one camp for another

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

I'm ignoring the Myrmidon. The battlecruiser is fairly obvious bait, confirmed when I see the trap sprung, strategic cruisers decloaking to pop an unfortunate victim local to this class 3 w-space system. I'll continue my scanning, looking for an exit so that I can guide an isolated Mick back to ...

Caught in a trap

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Oops. Leaving our wormhole in a critical condition last night worked out well for me and Fin, but Mick took a stroll later on and had the connection collapse behind him. At least we now know it would have only taken one more jump for us to complete the operation, ...

Stealing Sleepers from the neighbours

Monday, September 19th, 2011

I'm back to find glorious leader Fin copying in to her nav-comp the twenty-three bookmarks I made earlier. That should keep her busy for half-an-hour, I may as well take my stealth bomber out for a roam. I'll probably be able to see the constellation remains quiet by the time ...

Getting a gift

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

Unlike yesterday I have loads of time today. I aim to make the most of it by turning up early like this for some preliminary scanning and reconnaissance, so I can take advantage of having a mapped w-space constellation later. And, with any luck, I won't make any silly mistakes ...

Going after gassers

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

My time today is short, but not so short that I can't take a quick look around for a soft target. Scanning at home should remain simple enough, with five registered sites and, um, five signatures. Either we don't have a static wormhole today or one of the sites has ...
