Being a good capsuleer

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013

My head's a bit woolly. I suspect I have a cold coming. Hopefully w-space will be kind to me, and give me a simple constellation to scan and map, just to keep me in practice. There's not much to practice on in the home system, but it is straightforward with ...

Active denial of loot

Monday, March 11th, 2013

I'm on my way back through the dull w-space constellation, from a class 1 to class 2 system, as my glorious leader dutifully watches a previously active wormhole. An Anathema covert operations boat jumps past Fin, from our neighbouring class 3 system through a K162 to a different class 2 ...

Catching a cov-ops off-guard

Thursday, November 15th, 2012

All is quiet on the w-space front. Will the one unexpected signature lead anywhere? Yes, it resolves to a second wormhole, a K162 from class 5 w-space, but let me check through our static connection first. I should be prudent in finding an exit and route back to w-space should ...

Looking for trouble

Friday, September 28th, 2012

I remember now. There's an N968 in this system. I just got a bit distracted by the gas harvesting operation through a K162 to class 5 w-space. But now that I have disrupted the operation, by podding the pilot hauling gas in his Badger, and fleeing from the fairly prompt ...

Successful scanning sends us a ship

Monday, September 24th, 2012

Fin's here, which is always a good sign. A lack of bookmarks may indicate she's currently gassing it up, but it turns out that she's just arrived and is launching scanning probes, just like me. That's just a coincidence, though, and we're probably not the same person. Yesterday's new pocket ...

When bait goes bad

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

Aii likes the look of the Navy Scorpion. Of course, I tell him about how I engaged the same pilot flying a Navy Raven in the same w-space anomaly not five minutes ago, had to bail out, and that this second battleship is probably bait, but that just makes the ...

Plugging a skill gap

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012

The w-space constellation's been mapped, and although it's a few hours stale I choose to roam first before scanning afresh. There seem to be enough connections and systems to warrant at least a brief look around for activity and targets before considering the appearance of new connections, and the longer ...

Decay but no death in w-space

Thursday, June 7th, 2012

What to do, what to do. I have scanned a fair-sized w-space constellation already, so I could roam around it in a stealth bomber, but our neighbouring system has a reinforced tower and customs office that still have a day left on their timers, the class 4 system behind that ...

Backwards scanning

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

I'm out for an early reconnaissance of w-space, and maybe even a trip to empire space. But let's not get carried away too soon. Scanning the home system has some new gas drift in, but nothing else to find apart from the static wormhole. I often wonder if the signatures ...

Getting fuel and more fuel

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Simplistic scanning again today, with our static wormhole sitting alone in the system once more. There's not much to do here but resolve the connection and jump through. And there seems to be little to do in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system too, as my directional scanner shows me ...
