Catching a Catalyst

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

A scout through today's mapped w-space systems shows little activity. Glorious leader Fin checks the high-sec exit from the C1 system whilst I loiter nearby, and moments after she jumps through an Omen cruiser warps to the same wormhole and follows. The cruiser warps away from the high-sec ...

Scanning a silo system

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

Three of us make an early start. Two of them are earlier than me and have thoughtfully dropped the bookmark to our system's static wormhole in our shared can before venturing through to the next system. I copy the bookmark and follow. The directional scanner shows the ...

Awkward escalations

Friday, June 4th, 2010

All is quiet in w-space. There is no activity in the systems connecting to our own, and the miner we extorted for iskies hasn't come out to recover his losses yet. I am told that we really ought not to bother him after successfully ransoming his ship earlier, ...

Piracy pays

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

I'll take a look around our neighbourhood. I explored earlier and have bookmarks for all the wormholes I found, plus one I missed, and a few sites of interest. My first stop is the class 3 w-space system that is connecting in to us. There is a ...

Siren's call

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

There's nothing in the can, I'll go out and scan. The home system's static wormhole is quickly found and I jump through to see probes visible on the directional scanner. No towers can be seen, though, and bookmarking the wormhole and warping around shows the system to be ...

Changing plans

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Being by myself, it looks like I'm scanning. There are bookmarks in our shared can but warping to the first leaves me floating in empty space, so they are not current. I launch probes, find the static wormhole elsewhere, and jump through. The directional scanner shows only ...

Hunting and hunted

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

The rabbit hole goes deeper than the current bookmarks suggest. Our scout takes a closer look at the C2 system currently limiting our exploration and finds some more wormholes. The system has a static exit to high-sec empire space, another connection to a C3 w-space system, an EOL ...

You can't park there, sir

Monday, May 31st, 2010

The contents of the bookmarks can look interesting today. I copy them all in to my Buzzard's systems and head out to explore. Our home system's bookmarked static wormhole is present and stable, signalling the bookmarks are current, and I jump through to the class 4 system. ...

Ready to get right back in the saddle

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

Revenge is a dish best served as dessert. Otherwise it wouldn't technically be revenge, I suppose. Back at the tower in my new Onyx, more engineers have turned up and are looking for action. The visitors from high-sec are still attacking Sleepers in the C1 system a ...

Know your enemy

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

It's difficult to prove a negative. Alone in our home system instead of going out to scan immediately I open our can where we share bookmarks. If someone has already mapped today's local neighbourhood there is no point in duplicating the effort. The problem is that the ...
