Scanning through sleepy w-space

Friday, September 30th, 2011

There must be someone out there! After all, they keep passing through our system and stealing our Sleeper loot. I'm going to see if I can find them today, and then shoot them. First I'd better resolve the four unexpected signatures in the home system, which just turn out to ...

Not much to find

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

I have no big plan for today. I'll look next door, see if there's anyone to shoot, and then go to bed. Or maybe I won't even get that far, as my directional scanner shows me two sets of scanning probes visible in our home system. It looks like we ...

Supplies, skills, and a stealth bomber

My cloaking device is playing up again. I move away from the K162 in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system and supposedly am cloaked, but I can still see my ship. And, for giggles, the universe has me run over the now-invisible cosmic signature for the wormhole and remove all ...

Patience for podding

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Yesterday was a bust. Exploring the constellation found a K162 connection in the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, red-occupied too, and although there was a pilot wandering around in an Anathema covert operations boat there was not much for me to do. And even less, once my cloaking device went ...

Me and my Widow

I'm hoping that scanning early will catch some capsuleers off-guard. There must be pilots out there somewhere, as a whole bunch of the anomalies in our home w-space system have gone missing, I just need to find out where they are all hiding. The pilots are not in our neighbouring ...

Empty space is empty

We're not at war, how disappointing. Maybe the angry pilot decided not to waste his iskies on declaring war on a w-space corporation, where all space is lawless space and we're unlikely to bump in to each other again through random connections, or he calmed down a bit. Either way, ...

Inciting incidents

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

There are seven signatures at home today, which means new sites or extra wormholes. Or both! How exciting. I activate a new ladar site, hoping for it to pop but instead giving it a slow puncture, and drop out of warp in front of a K162 from class 5 w-space. ...

Hounding and hounded

We rejoin our hero after she's already seen the signs of a trap and avoided taking the bait, and navigating dangerous low-sec space and taking evasive action to avoid a gate camp, all to get her colleague home. Our hero, in case you're wondering, is me. Don't rush to praise ...

Avoiding one camp for another

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

I'm ignoring the Myrmidon. The battlecruiser is fairly obvious bait, confirmed when I see the trap sprung, strategic cruisers decloaking to pop an unfortunate victim local to this class 3 w-space system. I'll continue my scanning, looking for an exit so that I can guide an isolated Mick back to ...

Caught in a trap

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Oops. Leaving our wormhole in a critical condition last night worked out well for me and Fin, but Mick took a stroll later on and had the connection collapse behind him. At least we now know it would have only taken one more jump for us to complete the operation, ...
