Stealth bomber scanning

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

There's plenty to explore today, judging by the number of bookmarks stuffed in to our shared can. No one else is around at the moment, so I jump in to my Manticore stealth bomber to take a solo roam around our w-space constellation. Our neighbouring class 3 system has been ...

If at first you don't succeed, bring more ships

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

It looks like collapsing the wormhole attracted the attention of some capsuleers hoping to catch a juicy Orca prize. Thankfully Mick and I were around and in suitable enough ships to repel the attack and protect the industrial command ship, as well as Fin being prepared for such an assault ...

Action comes to us

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

We partake of some light Sleeper combat to start the evening. There are two class 2 w-space systems connecting in to our home C4, but one has allies and the other is inactive. Our neighbouring C3 is not particularly interesting either, but we may as well make some profit from ...

Upsetting negotiations

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

I need to kill some time, but killing a miner seems like a good alternative. I'm pootling around looking for something to do when a newly piloted Retriever warps out of the tower of our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, apparently off to strip some rocks of ore. I'm already ...

Bargaining with an ambusher

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Our neighbouring w-space system holds plenty of profit today. A full twenty-one anomalies wait to be harvested, along with whatever sites can be found amongst the other twelve signatures, the plentiful resources explained by this being what must be one of the few remaining unoccupied class 3 systems in w-space. ...

Wormhole colours

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

Telling which class w-space system you are about to enter appears to remain an art, or perhaps some kind of witchcraft. To the untrained capsuleer the indecipherable letter and numbers that float near the wormhole mean nothing, and coming at it from the wrong side only gives you the standard ...

Profiting from popping Sleepers

Saturday, April 23rd, 2011

Another Buzzard has been lost to a tower. Fin was scanning in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system when one of the two on-line towers noticed her covert operations boat's cloak wasn't active, and gave her a nudge as a reminder. A nudge with gun and missile batteries, mind you. ...

Sleeper magnet

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

The constellation has been scanned, bookmarks are in the can, and Fin's heading out to sell Sleeper loot. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has two exits to low-sec empire space, one the outbound static wormhole and another inbound K162, giving us little to explore today. The C3 is apparently ...

Sleepers follow a Heron

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

A scout scouts in today's connecting class 3 w-space system, seeing multiple ships on his directional scanner. The presence of combat, industrial, and a mining ship all seem to offer opportunity in their own ways, depending on what they are up to, but locating the tower finds the pilots to ...

Waiting for a tourist

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Roaming our neighbouring system is short-lived. I take my Manticore stealth bomber out for a look in the class 3 w-space and am happy to see ship activity. A Drake battlecruiser is at one of the two towers, along with a Buzzard covert operations boat, and I can see a ...
