A Cyclone is spotted in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. Glorious leader Fin spies it idling in the local tower, and I follow in to take a look for myself. At first, it looks like the Cyclone is active, but Fin's right. It is merely circling the tower slowly, ...

I forgot about the second tower. I saw it, and avoided it to launch probes, but for some reason I simply disregarded it entirely instead of considering it the home of the miner. The tower I saw first, with the Tengu strategic cruiser sitting unpiloted inside, caught my attention and ...

There's no one here but me, I think I'll hunt in the class 3 w-space system next door. Of course, that means finding the home system's static wormhole first, but that's a formality. Jumping in to the C3 sees a tower and a Tengu strategic cruiser on my directional scanner, ...

Enough speculation! I have my Noctis salvager now, I need to get out and use it to see how effective it can be. The numbers certainly look impressive but I want to experience it. It looks like I'll have the opportunity for some simple salvaging too. Exploration ends in our ...

Scanning today could be interesting. After yesterday's contretemps Fin and I were a little concerned about the other corporation coming in to our home system and stealing all the profit from our indigenous Sleeper population. It is a minor concern, and one that prompts us to gather that profit for ...

Exploring today easily uncovers three wormholes in our home system, all by looking in the bookmark container. Glorious leader Fin has been scanning and found the wormholes, and continued through our static connection. I copy the bookmarks to my nav-comp and zoom off in a different direction, picking one of ...

It's interesting to have a w-space system full of bookmarked signatures and look for differences. It gives a sense of initial approximation and spatial recognition when trying to match up bookmarked locations with the fuzzy first feelers scanning probes initially return, trying to gauge which of the couple of dozen ...

Our home system is not stabilising on my arrival. I expect to find Fin there as a result, but it's just me again. This means someone external has visited our system, and recently. There are no ships or probes visible on my directional scanner, which at least suggests whoever was ...

The tower can again run unsupervised for a while, like a kitten high on catnip, leaving me free to explore the w-space constellation. I scan and resolve our static wormhole and jump in to the neighbouring class 3 system, seeing a tower with silos on my directional scanner, but no ...

With the threat of the harmless gas miner out of the way I can get back to scanning and exploration. Finding a wormhole in the neighbouring class 3 w-space system should be easy, as I got close to resolving one when scanning the ladar site holding the Ferox. I still ...
