Bumping in to a Badger

Saturday, October 26th, 2013

Safe and sound, away from home. The K162 from class 4 w-space, some fifty kilometres away, remains inactive for the past few minutes, the fleet I jumped in to not sending out another search party. I still need to treat the constellation with care, but it poses no immediate or ...

Fake-forming up with a fleet

Friday, October 18th, 2013

All looks quiet in w-space. So very quiet. I think I need some company. I won't find it in the persisting gas clouds in the home system, so I'd best resolve the other signature and open our static wormhole to the neighbours. Or a lack of neighbours, perhaps. It depends ...

When high-sec is more interesting than w-space

Saturday, June 22nd, 2013

Empty system, empty Penny. Launching scanning probes to search for civilisation finds a K162 from class 2 w-space, which is a fair start, particularly seeing that if our home system is one of C2a's static wormholes then the other will lead to high-sec. Jumping through the K162 doesn't look immediately ...

Scrapping over a Scorpion

Sunday, June 16th, 2013

That Orca isn't coming back to finish collapsing the wormhole. I can't think why. Surely it has nothing to do with the pilot having seen my cloaky Loki lurking nearby. Just because industrial command ships are natural prey of strategic cruisers doesn't mean anything. But he's not coming back. It's ...

Prodding a Purifier

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013

Bye bye, Drakey. I watched the battlecruiser warp away from the radar site in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, too nervous to engage it because of its buddy in the Loki strategic cruiser. That doesn't stop me following it home, though. What stops me is that the wormhole it ...

Spoiling gas sucking by collecting planet goo

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

A new signature in the home system doesn't have me scurrying backwards through w-space looking for activity, what with it resolving to be some rocks, leaving me pressing forwards to our neighbouring class 3 system as usual. A tower with no ships appears on my directional scanner from the K162, ...

Restoring Penny preferences

Friday, February 1st, 2013

Damn, this Minmatar technology is flaky. After spending a day trying to get my ship on-line I've had to restore all of its systems to the factory default settings. This is going to be painful. At least I'm somewhat prepared, after previous failures, with a saved overview file that I ...

Less of a camp, more a passing-by

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012

I come on-line wondering if w-space will at least pretend to be active this evening, and have my scanning probes show me a new signature in the home system that stinks like a K162. I resolve the wormhole and warp to a connection from class 5 w-space, making me think ...

Death by aggression

Monday, August 6th, 2012

The home system clutter is down to one pocket of gas, which looks much nicer. It is then increased to two pockets of gas as I scan, which is still better than before, and after I activate the new site I jump through the only wormhole to our neighbouring class ...

Following a frigate

Friday, February 17th, 2012

I'm home, safe, and sitting on a K162. I've kind of been chased out of the class 5 w-space system connecting to our home, but only after almost destroying one of their strategic cruisers in transit. The death of the Noctis salvager was just fate, and I had to shoot ...
