One in three

Tuesday, December 18th, 2012

I won't get the same neighbouring class 3 w-space system three days in a row, so I won't see my new chum again. I can't say I'm disappointed. The corporation mostly did nothing. Even so, I'm always interested to see what I'll stumble across each day, so I launch probes, ...

Between a Rokh and a hard vacuum

Saturday, December 15th, 2012

I'm out looking for activity, and hoping to find more than yesterday. I suppose that shouldn't be difficult, as a single moving ship will do the trick. A second signature in the home system isn't going to offer any help, being a mere ladar site, so I resolve the static ...

Missing ships is understandable, missing a tower is careless

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

I've made my decision. There's no point heading back through the wormhole that leads me to reds, not after I have taken a pot-shot at one of them and have concluded that they are waiting for me. That pretty much leaves me one direction to travel, although I suppose I ...

Miner on a plate

Tuesday, November 20th, 2012

Nothing but static. My zen approach to scanning. I resolve the wormhole and jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A Retriever mining barge pings my directional scanner, as do four Warrior II drones, but nothing else. I would say my evening is off to a lucky start, and I ...

Scanning for targets

Sunday, November 11th, 2012

Fin's here. What else? Some stale bookmarks, by the looks of it. I transfer my old bookmarks to the appropriate folder, sweep the corporate bookmarks clean, then get a sitrep from my glorious leader. 'Multiple wormholes in C3a, and two probers.' Oh. If Fin's in our neighbouring w-space system then ...

Welcome back

Monday, October 15th, 2012

A glitch has me off-line for a few days, and now I'm back and wondering how much has changed. Maybe some buttons have been moved, or wormholes have stopped existing, and perhaps I can blame any of this for whatever shortcomings I'll have this evening. One change I notice when ...

Scanning for celebrity

Tuesday, July 17th, 2012

I've a blank slate today. A tabula rasa, if you will. No bookmarks, no registered sites in the home system, and nothing on my directional scanner. Let's see what I can find out there. Rocks, a radar site, and the static wormhole is all that's at home, ignoring the slowly ...

Diverting to high-sec

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

There's a Loki launching probes, and it's not mine. Pausing at the wormhole out of this class 2 w-space system to take one last glance at my directional scanner shows me the strategic cruiser new to the system, and that it's launching probes probably makes it covertly configured and not ...

Crashing, collapsing, and crashing some more

Wednesday, July 4th, 2012

Yesterday's tough target was a little too much for me, and tonight I'm hoping for something softer than a salvager escorted among Sleepers. But what's this? My scanning probes are showing me that all our profitable anomalies are gone, and I didn't even get to shoot anyone! Some honeypots they ...

Reaping the rocky riches

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

Two gas clouds have been dispersed from the home system. I make that sound like I had more to do with it than merely passing my ship through the ladar site a few days ago, but it all counts. And despite now expecting to see only two signatures under my ...
