The strategic cruisers have made a strategic withdrawal but there are other systems to explore. One of the class 4 w-space systems we have a connection to holds a tower, which seems like a good place to look for some more activity. Jumping in to the system sees a Drake ...

The new static wormhole leads to a new constellation. All the systems will need to be scanned for wormhole connections in and out, or we could get lucky and find four strategic cruisers engaging Sleepers in our neighbouring system. Checking the directional scanner after jumping through our new static wormhole ...

Marking a different start to today, our scout wants to be caught on a wormhole. He has already explored the w-space constellation extensively but is curious to know how vulnerable his Loki strategic cruiser is when jumping between systems. I already have experience of trying to catch frigates, stealth bombers, ...

It's scanning time. Our static wormhole has been collapsed in a smooth operation and there is a new one to find, and a constellation of w-space systems beyond it to explore. Keeping our home system relatively clear of anomalies and signatures makes wormholes easy to find and resolve, and I ...

Many of us are familiar with war films. Specifically, where a sniper has surprised a unit and shot a soldier without killing him, tempting the others to come to his aid. The injured soldier's cries of pain can be too much to bear, particularly when the sniper takes an occasional ...

I need to warm a ship up, but I don't know which one. A couple of scouts are out exploring today's w-space constellation and have so far passed through our neighbouring class 4 system in to a class 5, before spotting on the directional scanner a Cyclone battlecruiser and Harpy ...

I'm sat cloaked in my Buzzard monitoring our static wormhole as battleships and an Orca jump through. The wormhole is being collapsed intentionally by a corporation fleet, hoping to find better opportunities through a different gateway. I have already launched probes from my covert operations boat and made a pre-emptive ...

Some food recharges my system and I come back to have another look around today's w-space constellation. I take my Buzzard covert operations boat out, not seeing any sign of activity in our neighbouring class 4 system or the second C4 connecting to it, but seeing scanning probes on ...

I'm rich! And alone. Well, richer I suppose, but not aloner. Two hundred and fourty five of my collected datacores sold to a single customer overnight for a tidy hundred million iskies, but there are no corporation colleagues around in w-space. I go out exploring whilst ...

With no one around w-space is my oyster and I have fresh systems to scan. I jump to our neighbouring class 4 w-space system and find an occupied but inactive system. My probes pick up only three signatures amongst the seven anomalies, so scanning will be quick. I ...
