Missing mugging a Myrmidon

Friday, May 11th, 2012

I'm feeling a bit under the weather. I'd worry that this will affect my decision-making, but it would probably only help given my recent record. Either way, feeling a little sluggish won't matter unless I find some activity, and to do that I first need to get myself out of ...

Scouting around stealth bombers

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Fin thinks we may have a guest. She spotted a covert operations boat briefly on her directional scanner in the home w-space system, after a K162 was collapsed. It's possible the scout didn't get home in time and already left back through the new static wormhole, but we can't discount ...

Ignoring a small issue can make it grow

Monday, April 16th, 2012

Burn, baby, burn. Three gas sites and two rock sites have all evaporated in to the vacuum, which should make scanning simpler now. And indeed it is, with just the one signature in the whole system. I like this. I resolve our static wormhole—for it can be nothing else—and jump ...

Iterons galore

Sunday, April 15th, 2012

Scanning new rocks and a new wormhole is not particularly exciting. A second wormhole on the outskirts of our home system being a K162 from class 2 w-space is rather more interesting, though. And it gets better, as jumping in to the C2 sees a tower and Iteron hauler on ...

Moa and Manticore

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

Back in w-space and looking to see what I can find, I don't even have to wander outside the home system today. Two Moa cruisers, a few drones, and a jet-can are all visible on my directional scanner, once I move from my hiding spot to be closer to the ...

Taking the bait and taking a chance

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

My glorious leader has been scanning again. Thanks, Fin! She's nowhere to be found at the moment, though, so it's just me and space for a while. Even though I have a set of bookmarks for our w-space constellation ready for me I still launch probes and blanket the home ...

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, ...

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 ...

Straightforward scanning

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

Glorious leader Fin is floating in a ladar site, I'm going to scan my way out of our home w-space system. Or I could let her guide me to our static wormhole, as Fin is harvesting gas and rocks lazily, activating all the mining sites in the system. I saved ...
