Slow night ends with Sleepers

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

All the myriad connections from yesterday are no doubt gone, leaving me to see what we're left with today. Surprisingly, it looks like we still have all our anomalies, although that may have more to do with Fin's one-sided flirting in the local channel with a pilot from the connecting ...

A curious container

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

I'm back up to full offensive strength in my Tengu. The recent loss of my previous strategic cruiser knocked some skill points out of my head, but I've relearnt them without much sense of loss, thanks in part to a coincidental short planetside break to watch some live music. All ...

Quietly scanning and shooting Sleepers

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

Fin's found a wormhole as I arrive, but it's not our static connection. It's easy to assume that the first wormhole you resolve will be what you're expecting to find, especially in your own home system, but we're staring at the bloody pustule that is a K162 from deadly class ...

Looking for a Loki

Friday, November 25th, 2011

The Fin Report: we're at the end of the universe. My glorious leader is ahead of me and scanning, quite thoroughly, our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. It has 'two exits to low-sec, about four jumps apart, in the arse end of Khanid—one hop from Aridia'. And now the weather ...

Replacing Pengu

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

I have a new Sleeper boat to buy. Losing Pengu, my first Tengu strategic cruiser, was harsh but reminded me that w-space is dangerous and that I need to pay attention. And I need to buy a new boat, otherwise we won't be able to shoot Sleepers to earn the ...

Shooting Sleepers isn't boring

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

We've chased away a Loki and got ourselves a quiet w-space constellation again. Now it's time to make some iskies. Our neighbouring class 3 system has plenty of anomalies to plunder but I would prefer to eradicate the last of the Sleepers at home, a couple of anomalies sprouting up ...

Strategic cruiser chase

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

My glorious leader is in our neighbouring system as I arrive. There's nothing to see in w-space at the moment, apparently, causing her to turn around and guide me to our static wormhole so that I can help scan. I pause only to note that some of the sites in ...

Lucky escape

Monday, November 21st, 2011

I'm returning home through empty w-space after a scanning expedition. I had to divert through low-sec empire space to continue the constellation, but finding an outbound connection to class 5 w-space only led to unoccupied and empty systems. The occupation I've come across tonight has been in spurs from our ...

Looking for a ladar site

Friday, November 18th, 2011

I'm alone at home today, with one extra signature to keep me company. Or maybe I'm not entirely alone, as the signature turns out to be a K162 from class 3 w-space. I also resolve our static wormhole and bookmark its position, but my first jump will be through the ...

Apocalypse now

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

It's the Apocalypse. At least, that is my assumption, because the wormhole collapses moments after flaring. It looks like the pilots from the class 2 w-space system made the wrong choice of ship. They were forcing the early collapse of a wormhole connecting their system to ours, after I had ...
