Compensating for bad timing

Saturday, December 17th, 2011

I'm out in low-sec, the hauler's got away, and it looks like a carrier is left to take care of an unanchoring tower. But the evening's not over yet. On scanning my way out of the home w-space system, across low-sec, and through more w-space to the deadly class 6 ...

Manoeuvring misses the moment

Friday, December 16th, 2011

A stabilising system is an unbothered system, which is how I find home at the start of the evening. If I want bother, I have to look further afield. Scanning reveals five signatures now, looking positively cluttered compared to recent days, and although I get a pang of excitement about ...

Minimal w-space adventure

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

I have no overriding plan for today, I'm just going to see what's out there. Then again, I suppose that's pretty much my 'plan' for every day in w-space, as there really isn't much that can be predicted. I never know if I'll run in to a bored miner, be ...

Scanning back and forth

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

I'm back and hoping my previous reconnaissance will now pay off. I plan to ditch my covert Tengu strategic cruiser for a more appropriate ambushing Manticore stealth bomber for my roam, removing the sensor recalibration delay and gaining a faster locking time, along with harder hitting torpedoes and the devastating ...

Same system, same sites

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

After recent unspectacular outings through w-space I am keen to do some legwork today. I am out and about relatively early, looking to perform some thorough reconnaissance for later ambushes. An extra signature in the home system could be initially promising too, but it turns out only to be some ...

Looking around w-space

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

I'm up and ready to take another poke around w-space. There's no one at home, which is a good start and lets me take my time to get settled, although I suppose it doesn't really matter how much time I take with only one undetermined signature. I resolve our static ...

Ransacking a radar site in low-sec

Monday, December 12th, 2011

An empty system is a quiet system. I'll see if I can find one not quite so empty, which means scanning our home first. After a minor absence a couple of anomalies have reappeared, the rocks are gone, and I'm left with a single signature to resolve. There is nothing ...

Obstructing a null-sec short-cut

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

I'm by myself again, with an urge to find some company. Two unexpected signatures in the home system may provide it, particularly as one is a wormhole in addition to our static connection. The other signature is just some dumb rocks, which I activate. The second wormhole is a K162 ...

Unspectacular scanning and sitting in a new ship

Saturday, December 10th, 2011

All looks quiet at home, just an ordinary day. I know it's not going to be, but first I will scan and look for trouble, to keep me amused during this last short period of waiting. My folder of old bookmarks remains from yesterday, which I still refuse to discard ...

Familiarity breeds contempt

Friday, December 9th, 2011

I turn up as Fin turns up. I really hope I'm not just another of my glorious leader's many alts, although I have long suspected of being just such an entity. It would explain an awful lot. But I suppose the pretence must be maintained, and I remain in-character as ...
