Upsetting negotiations

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

I need to kill some time, but killing a miner seems like a good alternative. I'm pootling around looking for something to do when a newly piloted Retriever warps out of the tower of our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, apparently off to strip some rocks of ore. I'm already ...

Bargaining with an ambusher

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Our neighbouring w-space system holds plenty of profit today. A full twenty-one anomalies wait to be harvested, along with whatever sites can be found amongst the other twelve signatures, the plentiful resources explained by this being what must be one of the few remaining unoccupied class 3 systems in w-space. ...

Wormhole colours

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

Telling which class w-space system you are about to enter appears to remain an art, or perhaps some kind of witchcraft. To the untrained capsuleer the indecipherable letter and numbers that float near the wormhole mean nothing, and coming at it from the wrong side only gives you the standard ...

Profiting from popping Sleepers

Saturday, April 23rd, 2011

Another Buzzard has been lost to a tower. Fin was scanning in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system when one of the two on-line towers noticed her covert operations boat's cloak wasn't active, and gave her a nudge as a reminder. A nudge with gun and missile batteries, mind you. ...

Sleeper magnet

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

The constellation has been scanned, bookmarks are in the can, and Fin's heading out to sell Sleeper loot. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has two exits to low-sec empire space, one the outbound static wormhole and another inbound K162, giving us little to explore today. The C3 is apparently ...

Sleepers follow a Heron

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

A scout scouts in today's connecting class 3 w-space system, seeing multiple ships on his directional scanner. The presence of combat, industrial, and a mining ship all seem to offer opportunity in their own ways, depending on what they are up to, but locating the tower finds the pilots to ...

Waiting for a tourist

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Roaming our neighbouring system is short-lived. I take my Manticore stealth bomber out for a look in the class 3 w-space and am happy to see ship activity. A Drake battlecruiser is at one of the two towers, along with a Buzzard covert operations boat, and I can see a ...

Missing a Maller

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

Interesting ships await me in w-space today. Our home system is quiet, but scanning my way to our neighbouring class 3 system has a Thanatos carrier, three Dominix battleships, and some industrial ships visible on my direction scanner. The three identical battleships make me think there may be a fleet ...

Pimping my Golem

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Hello wormhole, my only friend. No one is home when I wake up so I scan the system to find our static connection and see where it takes me today. I jump in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system to a clear directional scanner, with just the one planet ...

Question time

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

Apparently my writing is opaque enough that I have prompted one reader to write in with a bunch of questions about w-space operations. Luckily, I like the sound of my own typing and I am happy to answer them. Hold on to your hats for an extended post, as brevity ...
