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 ...

Continuing operations in a hostile environment

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Maybe I should have left when the wormhole was clear. I run across so many towers stuffed with empty ships that I suspected those I initially saw on my directional scanner were the same. As it turns out, once I find both the towers out here, most of the ships ...

Mimicking a Probe

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Despite resolving a wormhole, scanning in high-sec gets off to a disappointing start. The wormhole is a K162 from class 2 w-space and reaching the end of its natural lifetime, and even though I'm happy to take a look inside in my scanning Tengu strategic cruiser I find it's the ...

Tengu exploration

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

I want to get back to exploring. Running missions isn't rewarding for me, and not just in terms of ISK. I could get myself a new Buzzard covert operations boat to scan with whilst taking a break in high-sec empire space, but there are logistic problems when using stations. Docking ...

Targeted for destruction

Saturday, June 25th, 2011

Taking my replacement stealth bomber out for a roam looks like it may get an early kill, until the Tengu strategic cruiser I shadow across a couple of anomalies turns out to be blue to our corporation. His yellow skull of piracy masked the blue square of chuminess, which whilst ...

Shooting Sleepers for fun and profit

Monday, June 20th, 2011

A bit of early scanning finds little of interest. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system holds a pulsar phenomenon, an on-line but empty tower, and a mutated handful of anomalies. There is only one wormhole present in the dozen signatures, which I keep closed for the time being, the rest ...

Tackling a Tengu

Sunday, June 19th, 2011

It's just me, Fin, and some combat probes in our home system today, and the probes are Fin's. I turn up just as our glorious leader has resolved the static wormhole and she warps the two of us in its direction. Having found the wormhole it's only fair that Fin ...

Bumping in to danger

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

All is quiet. At least, for us. Mick and I have popped a Noctis salvager in a class 2 w-space system connecting to our home, and are leaving that system behind to find nothing happening through our static wormhole. Neither the neighbouring C3 nor the C5 connecting in to that ...

Noctis under guard

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Our new neighbours remain busy. I left them after they popped a hauler trying to pass through their class 2 w-space system and now Mick is watching their Noctis salvager clear up Sleeper wrecks in an anomaly. He'd be shooting it, if it weren't for the Legion, Tengu, and Drake ...

Not getting involved

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Two holes to penetrate sounds like fun! One is our static wormhole, leading to class 3 w-space, the other is a K162 coming from class 2 w-space. As the K162 must have been opened from the other side there is more likely to be activity in the C2, so I ...
