Where I've been recently

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

It has been six months since Kirith Kodachi instigated a wide-scale stalking campaign. When I participate and post a map of my most visited systems in New Eden it is not long since joining my current corporation. With only a short stint in a PvP corporation and plenty ...

The capsuleer who warps out in a Tristan but comes back in a pod

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

There is still not much to find in our home w-space system. This makes finding the wormhole to the neighbouring C3 system quick, and I poke the nose of my borrowed frigate through to see what is on the other side. First, I bookmark the wormhole itself, as ...

Finding some miners

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

There is an awful lot of scanning to do when in the uncharted area that is w-space. Back in k-space, I tend to take many situations for granted. I can jump from one system to another through a stargate visible on any navigational computer, even being able to ...

Vigilant mining

Friday, November 20th, 2009

It's another quiet evening mining in w-space. Even the Sleeper 'roid rats appear a considerate 80 km away from my Retriever, giving me plenty of time to warp away. The Sleepers are quickly dealt with in my Drake, and cleaned up in a Cormorant, and I settle down back ...

Klingon manoeuvres

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Patience is a virtue, and capsuleers of stealth bombers need to have it in abundance. Sitting in their lair of a quiet pocket of space, waiting for unsuspecting pilots to wander in to the kill zone, stealth bombers are not ships for the impatient. I can't be entirely ...

Firework display in w-space

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Finding myself alone at our tower in w-space encourages me to try find an exit wormhole. Despite my previous poor attempt at scanning, I have a couple of points in my favour from the last time. First, I am on my main rig, with a bigger screen and ...

Lone Drake versus Sleepers

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

The w-space system connecting to our own holds a pulsar. The blue spatial phenomenon pulses with energy that affects a ship's shields, significantly boosting their strength. The pulsar is not terribly exciting for the non-Caldari pilots, but luckily none of them are around. Unluckily, there are few ...

Revising the local system channel

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

As I am reminded recently, w-space feels more threatening because of the lack of intelligence offered from the local system channel. Unless the capsuleers bravely or accidentally announce their presence, the local channel remains completely devoid of information in w-space. In known-space, the local channel displays full information ...

Avoiding an ambush

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

There is some excitement in the wormhole engineers channel. It seems I turn up shortly after a Curse is popped and its pilot podded, and there is much adrenaline being pumped around. I would be more excited if I knew what a Curse is, still not really doing ...

Damnation test flight

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

W-space beckons my new Damnation. The new connecting w-space system to our own leads out to high-sec space, so it is an easy journey to pilot Bad Badtz Maru to the corporation tower. So far, though, all I have done is fit the Damnation and fly it through ...
