Scanning signatures and watching ships

Monday, March 19th, 2012

Ah, back to normal. I hope. I'll need to replace the Legion strategic cruiser I lost, in order to get back to where I was, but with any luck all should be tickety-boo as far as flying in space. And getting a new ship pretty much depends on the kindness ...

Intercepting exports

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

I was thinking about having a night off from space and, as I find myself here anyway, my heart may not be in it as a result. But if there's one lesson I've learnt during my mercurial moods it's that I'm keen on exploration. There's no direct scanning that needs ...

Bait and collapse

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Glorious leader Fin's out selling loot and some junk we've accumulated on our w-space roams. I'll check our home system for new connections, so that we can stay safe from surprises. Finding nothing out of the ordinary I stow my scanning boat and board a Manticore stealth bomber to take ...

Wrecks are a salvager's worst enemy

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Scan, resolve, jump. It's like any other day, except for the Nidhoggur carrier and its fighters appearing on my directional scanner in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. I occasionally see a carrier floating unpiloted in towers in lower-class w-space, somewhat overkill for the Sleeper infestations they must face, but ...

If at first you don't succeed, bring more ships

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

It looks like collapsing the wormhole attracted the attention of some capsuleers hoping to catch a juicy Orca prize. Thankfully Mick and I were around and in suitable enough ships to repel the attack and protect the industrial command ship, as well as Fin being prepared for such an assault ...

Action comes to us

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

We partake of some light Sleeper combat to start the evening. There are two class 2 w-space systems connecting in to our home C4, but one has allies and the other is inactive. Our neighbouring C3 is not particularly interesting either, but we may as well make some profit from ...

Looking for something to shoot

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

Scanning is already done by the time I turn up. We not only have a decent chain of w-space to explore but there is an exit to empire space a mere seven hops to Jita, where both Fin and Mick decide to go shopping. I spin my ship for a ...

Knocking a Noctis

Friday, January 21st, 2011

The popped Iteron pilot must have come from somewhere. I tried following him in to one of the class 3 w-space systems connected from this one, but only saw a few other pilots milling around. I loitered at a wormhole leading in to another C3 system from here, but the ...

Suppressing fire

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

Glorious leader Fin arrives, and I update her on my mischief. A K162 wormhole has opened in to our system, and I chased a scout in my Malediction interceptor, shooting the shields off his Helios covert operations boat for giggles. A bit of manoeuvring has now seen a Manticore stealth ...

Hunting and hunted

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

The rabbit hole goes deeper than the current bookmarks suggest. Our scout takes a closer look at the C2 system currently limiting our exploration and finds some more wormholes. The system has a static exit to high-sec empire space, another connection to a C3 w-space system, an EOL ...
