Simple Sleeper slaying

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

Glorious leader Fin is in our connecting class 3 w-space system. 'Occupied, no one home, low-sec.' Situation normal, then. We form a fleet and I am guided to the wormhole leading out to low-sec, able to find the static wormhole in our home system as Fin copied the bookmark to ...

Hobbling a Heron

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

Glorious leader Fin has blood on her new Crow, and now we're continuing to cake it on our Tengus. The interceptor caught an Imicus frigate—with a little help from my scanning—scouting our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, which we took to be a potential threat to our Sleeper operation. Rather ...

Intercepting an Imicus

Friday, February 4th, 2011

Two Tengus out to play, shooting Sleepers who get in their way. Fin and I are plundering the first of two anomalies in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, the only two sites of interest here. The system is occupied but inactive, a couple of haulers turning up briefly to ...

Misteron

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

Today's wormhole is nicely conspicuous against a background of bookmarked signatures. It's not quite a fully mapped system any more, although noting the single new anomaly corrects that, and more signatures will appear soon enough, but for a few days I should have an easier time plucking the wormhole from ...

Not much of anything

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

I start scanning the home system and realise it is a good day to take a proper look around. I am by myself, the afternoon is relatively early, and plenty of sites are missing. I could do with removing the defunct bookmarks to get a clearer picture of the system ...

Supply run and Sleepers

Monday, January 31st, 2011

Today will be a supply run. Glorious leader Fin has been scouting and explored our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, finding two towers, no pilots, and an exit wormhole to high-sec empire space. I take my Crane transport ship out through the exit to the Genesis region, looking to buy ...

Aftermath of the Noctis kill

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

A Noctis isn't much use when salvaging other people's wrecks. The salvager ship's tractor beams won't be able to lock on to wrecks owned by others, negating the main bonuses of improved range and speed of the beams. A more traditional destroyer is more suitable, being agile and quick, zipping ...

One lame duck

Saturday, January 29th, 2011

Scanning the home system is becoming involving again. Two new gravimetric sites and an extra ladar site need resolving whilst I hunt for today's static wormhole, and perhaps other signatures are disappearing. The changes are making it difficult to discern the new wormhole signal from the static cloud of bookmarked ...

Opportunistic test-fire on a small tower

Friday, January 28th, 2011

A conspicuous wormhole is a good wormhole. At least, it is in the home system, either to go out exploring or to warn of potential invasion. Today, as is the more common case, I am heading through our static wormhole to explore our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A punch ...

Death comes quick

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

The reckless miners are tooling up. A Rattlesnake battleship and Drake battlecruiser are piloted at the tower in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, along with two other pilots in a Covetor mining barge and Anathema covert operations boat. But none of them are active. I suppose they could have ...
