The capsuleer who warps out in a Tristan but comes back in a pod

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

There is still not much to find in our home w-space system. This makes finding the wormhole to the neighbouring C3 system quick, and I poke the nose of my borrowed frigate through to see what is on the other side. First, I bookmark the wormhole itself, as ...

Finding some miners

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

There is an awful lot of scanning to do when in the uncharted area that is w-space. Back in k-space, I tend to take many situations for granted. I can jump from one system to another through a stargate visible on any navigational computer, even being able to ...

Extra skill books

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Poking my nose out in of w-space, I find myself in Amarr territory. If this is what passes as civilisation I think I'll go back to the Sleepers. Actually, I'll gome home to Caldari space, which is a much better option. On the journey, I browse the ...

Vigilant mining

Friday, November 20th, 2009

It's another quiet evening mining in w-space. Even the Sleeper 'roid rats appear a considerate 80 km away from my Retriever, giving me plenty of time to warp away. The Sleepers are quickly dealt with in my Drake, and cleaned up in a Cormorant, and I settle down back ...

Klingon manoeuvres

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Patience is a virtue, and capsuleers of stealth bombers need to have it in abundance. Sitting in their lair of a quiet pocket of space, waiting for unsuspecting pilots to wander in to the kill zone, stealth bombers are not ships for the impatient. I can't be entirely ...

Firework display in w-space

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Finding myself alone at our tower in w-space encourages me to try find an exit wormhole. Despite my previous poor attempt at scanning, I have a couple of points in my favour from the last time. First, I am on my main rig, with a bigger screen and ...

How to show poor leadership skills

Friday, November 13th, 2009

The drama llama pays me a visit, and I am not diplomatically agile enough to dodge its spiteful spit. The fuss starts innocently enough, well over a month ago, when a new member to the corporation joins us in w-space and wants to try out a new ship fitting. ...

Lone Drake versus Sleepers

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

The w-space system connecting to our own holds a pulsar. The blue spatial phenomenon pulses with energy that affects a ship's shields, significantly boosting their strength. The pulsar is not terribly exciting for the non-Caldari pilots, but luckily none of them are around. Unluckily, there are few ...

Ramming speed, ensign!

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

I've rigged my Damnation, Bad Badtz Maru, with trimark armour pumps. With fleet bonuses, warfare links, and all systems running, my command ship has over 168,000 effective hp. I remove my launchers and fit some tractor beams in the high-slots, as I'll probably do more damage pulling the Sleepers in ...

Popping in to null-sec space

Friday, November 6th, 2009

It's time to hit null-sec. Or, at least, make a hit-and-run in the null-sec system where a wormhole spits us out. The C3 w-space system connecting to our home w-space system is lacking sites for us to run. But the null-sec exit from the C3 system is ...
