Wrecking a Rook

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

There are bookmarks in the can, so I don't need to scan. I'll take my Manticore stealth bomber out for a roam, and with a few sites also bookmarked along with wormholes I may be able to cause some trouble. Our home system's static wormhole is as healthy as wormholes ...

Unseen observations

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Colleagues are baiting capsuleers mourning the loss of an Orca industrial command ship, but I have some Russians to check on. A fork in w-space led me through a K162 wormhole to a system holding three towers and, as I was leaving to join the action elsewhere, three piloted Drake ...

Planet goo piracy

Friday, October 8th, 2010

An invitation to explore is returned with our scout, bookmarks for today's w-space constellation connections copied to our shared can. I make my own copies of the bookmarks and warp to our static wormhole in my Buzzard. Not all connections and systems have been mapped, so I am expecting to ...

Trapped by an ambush

Friday, October 1st, 2010

Today's exploration is underway. I go to join a scout through our static wormhole where the class 4 w-space system should be familiar. I was last here only three weeks ago but both towers listed in my notes are no longer present. Indeed, the system is now uninhabited and apparently ...

Stalking strategic cruisers

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

The new static wormhole leads to a new constellation. All the systems will need to be scanned for wormhole connections in and out, or we could get lucky and find four strategic cruisers engaging Sleepers in our neighbouring system. Checking the directional scanner after jumping through our new static wormhole ...

Bagging another barge

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

I'm sat cloaked in my Buzzard monitoring our static wormhole as battleships and an Orca jump through. The wormhole is being collapsed intentionally by a corporation fleet, hoping to find better opportunities through a different gateway. I have already launched probes from my covert operations boat and made a pre-emptive ...

Third time lucky

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

The neighbouring class 4 w-space system has been visited, but no further exploration performed. A colleague and I follow our earlier scout's visit to see what awaits through our static connection. The presence of some Sleeper wrecks on the directional scanner is interesting and I locate them as ...

Intimidating an Imicus

Friday, September 17th, 2010

The evening starts with Sleeper combat. Specifically, it started some time ago with Sleeper combat and I am turning up half-way through the corporate operation. I launch Pengu, my Tengu strategic cruiser, and warp off to the location of the copied bookmark. Jumping through our static wormhole ...

Recovering a blue Osprey

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Corporation Sleeper combat is just finishing. That's okay, I can go exploring. The static wormhole in our neighbouring class 4 w-space system was left unvisited and inactive whilst the fleet fought Sleepers but now I open it to see what's beyond. We still have a capsuleer mining ...

Roaming w-space

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

The w-space constellation is already scanned and mapped. I can take my Manticore stealth bomber out directly, each wormhole on the route located and bookmarked. I am warned of a cloaking Tengu strategic cruiser having been spotted roaming around, which is good to know in advance. Our ...
