Ending the evening with exploration

Friday, August 26th, 2011

I am about to leave our class 3 neighbouring w-space system when I spot combat probes on my directional scanner. I checked the exit to low-sec one last time, seeing it wobbly and dying but still alive, and was heading home, after attacking an Orca industrial command ship but chased ...

How to collapse a wormhole

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

In order to collapse an unwanted wormhole you first need to identify the class of wormhole you want to collapse. Different classes of wormhole have different mass allowances, and as collapsing a wormhole relies on over-stressing this mass allowance it is important to find out the figure you're aiming to ...

Orcas don't shoot back, do they?

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

All seems quiet at home, I'll scan and see what's out there today. Judging from recent experience I'm guessing 'nothing', but my optimism carries me forwards. There is just the one wormhole to find at home, and I jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A Prorator transport ship ...

Expanding our options

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

We need ships. Make no mistake, the Tengu, like all strategic cruisers, is a versatile ship and can fulfil plenty of roles more than adequately. But it is a mistake to rely on a single ship when there are more specialised hulls available. If I had my stealth bomber available ...

Nothing but low-sec

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

There are two wormholes in the home system again today. One is the static connection to class 3 w-space, the other a K162 from a class 2 system. The C2 connection would be more enticing if it weren't reaching the end of its natural lifetime, but if I can scan ...

Lots of ships, little opportunity

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

I'm home alone, but happy that home is once again w-space. I launch probes and scan, just looking for a little reconnaissance of today's constellation, finding two wormholes in our home system. The addition to our static connection to class 3 w-space is a K162 coming from a class 5 ...

Exploring through a confusing constellation

Saturday, August 20th, 2011

Ah, sweet pulsar home of mine. What better way to celebrate my return than scanning an exit? And whilst I am scanning the home w-space system for the first time in a while I can start easy-mode mining too. There are a bunch of gravimetric and ladar sites cluttering up ...

Thrashing a Thrasher

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

I'm not even supposed to be here today. I got Constance awake and scanning in a bid to get back home, hopefully now that our camping friends have got bored and moved on to new pastures, but a second wormhole mucks up my plans. The presence of the other wormhole ...

Stalking a Sleipnir

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

No one follows me in to the class 1 w-space system, and I leave w-space behind as I exit to high-sec empire space. My return to high-sec is brief, however, only long enough to warp across the system to explore through the outbound connection to class 2 w-space I scanned ...

Spooking a transport

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

I'm not sure my pod goo is as pure as it ought to be. I think I've had some dodgy Quafe Zero—not that I'm convinced there is such a substance as good Quafe Zero—and all sorts of fluids are leaking out of me. As a result, tonight may be a ...
