Scanning a chain of class 2 w-space systems

Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

I pause in the home system to activate a new ladar site, the stupid gas delaying today's exploration of w-space. We're keeping on top of our sites, though, ensuring scanning remains manageable. The anomalies are another matter, but I quite like having plenty of them around as honeytraps for passing ...

Scouting and selling loot

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012

The first step in exploration is getting out of the home system. That's pretty easy to accomplish with two wormholes here, our static connection to class 3 w-space and a K162 from class 4 w-space. I'll go backwards, hoping to run in to activity early in the evening. A Noctis ...

Two Hulks, one point

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Look at all of these anomalies. It looks like we are due a passing fleet any day now. Until then, I'll be my own passing fleet of one, scanning my way out of the home w-space system and in to our neighbouring class 3 system. There's not much to see ...

Suffering some slight space madness

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Dammit, someone's stolen all our anomalies again. I'm sure we left loads of them scattered around but now there are only a handful left. They really held the system together, did they not? If I didn't get bored quite so quickly shooting Sleepers then I may be slightly irritated by ...

Following behind a Bestower

Monday, January 9th, 2012

Home alone, there aren't even intruders here. I am kept company by two new signatures, some ISO standard rocks and ZVQ gas, although the signature identifier for the gas doesn't fit in to a pun quite as well as that of the rocks and pretty much ruins a snappy start ...

Quiet times in low-sec

Monday, December 19th, 2011

Tonight will definitely be a relatively quiet night. Or short, at least. I will find a miner, pod him, then go to sleep, or I'll give up after the first couple of systems. I appreciate having plenty to explore but don't fancy it every night, as the exploration can easily ...

Slaughtering Sleepers for a change

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

Another strategic cruiser is lost by the corporation. Mick's Loki is attacked by another Loki and, as victim of the ambush, is on the back foot. At least he put up a good fight instead of helplessly ejecting when crippled by a tower with a bad attitude. But it also ...

Trying to stay safe

Friday, August 5th, 2011

There's some activity today, but sadly only in a w-space system far away. One of our colleagues has got himself isolated and is passing the time by ninjaing Sleeper loot from under the noses of a couple of dreadnoughts. At least, he is until Sleeper frigates get hold of him, ...

From snake to salvager

Saturday, July 23rd, 2011

I'm still in the class 5 w-space system bivouac, but glorious leader Fin is elsewhere. She's only as far as the neighbouring C4, scanning the constellation, so I go out to join her. There are two Orca industrial command ships, a Rorqual capital industrial ship, and a Tempest battleship all ...

Sneaking up on miners

Friday, July 1st, 2011

Another day, another high-sec adventure. An empty first system moves me on to a second where I resolve two wormholes, giving me options. I choose to explore through the K162 from class 1 w-space first, leaving the class 2 w-space as an alternative. And my choice looks promising, as my ...
