Several times now I have been volunteered for salvaging duty in w-space, looting and clearing up the wrecks from the sites of specific Sleeper interest we visit. I could try to claim that my focussed skill training has made me best suited to salvaging, but being volunteered more suggests ...

I take the Guardian out to face Sleepers again, this time without its twin. Although two Guardians combine the ship's synergies to become significantly more effective to the point of being overpowered—and this extra power really ought to be illustrated by the ships physically connecting to become a giant ...

A class 3 w-space system full of signatures appears on the other side of a wormhole, enticing the engineers to pay a visit and drag home cargo holds full of profit. I enter the system with a colleague and we both start scanning the system to get a lock ...

Twin Guardians! These logistics ships need a test. Theoretically, they can both feed the other enough energy to keep their capacitors stable whilst running four large remote armour repair modules.

A new ship arrives at the tower, a Guardian logistics ship, heralding the return of Kename Fin to w-space. The Guardian is designed to stay close to but out of combat, providing support to other ships as they need it. The logistic ship bonuses to remote armour repairs ...

We have people! The wormhole engineers are not a large group, so getting more than a few capsuleers on-line at the same time, and in the same place, is not terribly common. We seize the opportunity, particularly as our chief scanner has located a neighbouring C3 system that ...

It has been six months since Kirith Kodachi instigated a wide-scale stalking campaign. When I participate and post a map of my most visited systems in New Eden it is not long since joining my current corporation. With only a short stint in a PvP corporation and plenty ...
