Orbiting an Orca

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

It's time to roam. Earlier scanning has a route to high-sec mapped, and with a couple of occupied systems on the way there may be a target or two to find. First I need to choose my ship. I only scanned for wormholes and located towers earlier, ...

Tackling Sleepers after miners

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

I'm late. My corporation colleagues have been shooting miners without me. A Hulk exhumer and Retriever mining barge are both destroyed, throwing their capsuleers' pods out in to the harshness of the vacuum, although the pods escape, as does an Orca industrial command ship. I may have ...

Opportunistic looting in w-space

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

Scan man goes out to scan, warping to our static wormhole. I've just turned up and am looking for adventure so ask if I can come along. 'I thought you'd want to'. I warp to his position and we both jump through to today's neighbouring system. ...

Seeing a Buzzard pop on d-scan

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

No one is around. I'll head out scanning in my Buzzard to the sounds of disco. The previously destabilised wormhole has disappeared, creating me a new one to find, which I manage easily enough. I jump through to the neighbouring system, punch the directional scanner, and warp ...

Scanning for and collapsing wormholes

Friday, March 26th, 2010

There is no one around and no bookmarks in the can, so I'll take myself out scanning to see what adventures I can have today. My first adventure is in UI frustration, unfortunately. For convenience, I tend to interact with the virtual spheres of the probes not only ...

Drakes hiding Covetors

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Corporation changes are afoot. The wormhole engineers are separating from DGSE, which means careful manoeuvring of assets out in w-space as the transition to our new corporation is made. The opportunity is also taken to change from running a racial tower to a faction tower, which may cost ...

Still trying to get the fleet home

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Another day, another attempt to get the scattered fleet back in to w-space. It's not only a matter of bringing back ships and capsuleers, the tower is running low on fuel and needs to be restocked. Finding a good route to New Eden is a primary concern. ...

Chasing crokite

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

It's a quiet evening in w-space that doesn't require any scanning for a change. But a lack of scanning and combat can only mean it's time for a mining operation. I prepare my still-not-quite-destroyed Retriever and head out with a couple of other pilots to find some bistot. ...

A collapsed wormhole leaves nothing behind

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

It's quiet in w-space. I am by myself at the tower, which leaves few options. I would like to get back to New Eden to refresh my research jobs, perhaps check on my sell orders, and redeem my Zephyr. It seems somewhat perverse to have to exit ...
