Ship spotting

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

I'm going to take a poke around w-space, once I've determined which way is 'up' in the home system. I seem to be pointing in a rather curious orientation and I never can find our star quickly, but I get my bearings and launch probes to see the Sleepers starting ...

Breaking a Drake

Monday, February 6th, 2012

Home's really empty now. There are only two anomalies and two radar sites, along with the static wormhole. It's good to be able to check for incoming connections quickly, and satisfied that there are none today I jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A clear return from my ...

Caught in a bubble

Another day, another chance to repair my security status. Scanning out of the home system finds a class 3 w-space system with an exit to low-sec empire space, which leads to the Domain region. One pilot shares the system with me, replaced by another, but then I'm alone with some ...

Chase the whale

Glorious leader Fin has arrived; what to do, what to do. Well, what to do once I've got all the excitement of two Hulk exhumer kills out of my system. And talking about getting out of the system, I leave the scene of the crime and jump back to the ...

Two Hulks, one point

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 ...

Spotted

It's all quiet in the home system, I've little choice but to scan. Well, I suppose I could shoot rocks or gas or... so, I've little choice but to scan. But even scanning can't have me avoid running in to gas, with two new ladar sites cropping up, making our ...

Big, scary, and ineffective

I've almost run in to a couple of Golems. To be fair, the marauders are a response to my shooting an Orca industrial command ship of theirs, as it came back from low-sec empire space to w-space. Now I'm in our neighbouring class 3 system and about to scan for ...

Another shot at an Orca

It's another day in w-space. Home remains clear, which is always reassuring, and I need to look abroad for activity. I scan and resolve our static wormhole and jump to our neighbouring class 3 system to see a clear return from my directional scanner. The j-number of this system looks ...

Running in to a siege

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

Three extra signatures seems like a lot. Can they all be Sleepers? Yes, they can, being gas, gas, and our static wormhole, which doesn't really count as a new signature but a replacement for yesterday's. Silly me. I activate the two new ladar sites and jump to our neighbouring class ...

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 ...
