Another look at the lava planet

Friday, May 31st, 2013

Glorious leader Fin has scanned the home system by the time I come on-line. There's nothing new to be found, and even the untouched static connection from yesterday is in the same place. We give the command to touch C247, and jump through to an occupied but inactive class 3 ...

Trading a hauler for a transport

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

The gooer's gone, but not in his hauler. That's gone in a different way, blown to smithereens. That the pilot is now cloaked in a covert operations boat or off-line is of no consequence to me, particularly with plenty more w-space to explore. I could go backwards, with another outbound ...

Tracking a pilot to high-sec

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

Out for more adventure, wondering what I'll find today. Gas, obviously, but I'm still surprised to see a new pocket before even leaving the home system. It's easily ignored, and I jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system to look for actual adventure. A tower with a shuttle and ...

Patience pays in planet goo

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

Procrastination and caution has cost me a crack at a Venture. But I have more wormholes waiting, w-space systems yet to be explored. The two I've found in this class 2 system, itself connecting to our home system, include the obvious exit to high-sec empire space. I warp to the ...

Losing motivation

Saturday, February 16th, 2013

'Beware, I am feeling industrious.' Such is glorious leader Fin's warning as I come on-line in the home system. I'd better scan my way out of here, lest her condition is contagious. The system remains nice and clean, with just our static wormhole to resolve, sending me to the neighbouring ...

Not even shooting rats

Sunday, January 27th, 2013

A late night poke around w-space has me finding new rocks at home, and no way to go but through our static wormhole. The connection takes me to our neighbouring class 3 system, where my directional scanner shows me nothing but a bubble in range. I launch probes, blanket the ...

Noodling through a network of w-space

Monday, January 14th, 2013

Still all quiet at home. So lonely. One extra signature to keep me warm. Maybe it leads to new friends. Maybe! It resolves to be a wormhole, a K162 from class 3 w-space. And jumping through the wormhole has a Badger light up my directional scanner. There's a tower visible ...

Duelling a Drake

Friday, October 19th, 2012

I'm back. Fin's here too, and is scouting around the already scanned w-space constellation. So is anything out there? 'Yes.' Oh, good. 'And no.' There is a K162 from class 5 w-space newly connecting to our home system and ships have been passing between there and an empire space connection ...

Looking for trouble

Friday, September 28th, 2012

I remember now. There's an N968 in this system. I just got a bit distracted by the gas harvesting operation through a K162 to class 5 w-space. But now that I have disrupted the operation, by podding the pilot hauling gas in his Badger, and fleeing from the fairly prompt ...

Ship-spotting and hauler-popping

Friday, September 7th, 2012

It seems our sister system had fun with our linking wormhole after I left yesterday. They baited a fleet that was trying to close the wormhole, the fleet not realising that owning both systems gave our pilots increased boldness and a second staging point, and successfully routed them with some ...
