Helping in spirit

Monday, July 27th, 2009

A radar site is found in our w-space system and with enough pilots available to engage considerable Sleeper opposition we form a fleet and warp in to see what loot we can haul back. The Sleepers are quite keen to keep everything for themselves, which shouldn't be surprising as ...

If it ain't broke, fix it

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Engaging some pesky Sleepers, trying to stop us from liberating their loot for profit, generally sees our little fleets come under some fairly heavy fire. Being almost the only Caldari-trained capsuleer in the group my response to damage is to sit and take it, letting my passive-tanking Drake battlecruiser ...

Securing a new w-space system

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Ever since the corporation's first excursion in to and return from w-space there have been eager scouts scanning down systems looking for the next potential wormhole system in which to set up base. Ideally, the wormhole will lead to a certain class of w-space system, one that is challenging ...

One-way to known space

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

I find myself alone at the corporation's POS in w-space with information that a new wormhole to known space has opened up and that we should start shipping out, preparing to move to a new system. The wormhole leads to low-sec Caldari space, but only a couple of hops ...

A passive tank must still be quite active

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Stopping only to pick up and fit a new configuration for my Drake, as well as some warp stabilisers on the sensible suggestion from a colleague, I find myself on the border of low-sec space, heading back to w-space. My cloaked escort helps me get through the couple of ...

A return to known space

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

The main problem with living out in w-space, away from the known regions of New Eden, is that there can be little to do by oneself. There is no regional market or stations, which means no buying and selling or manufacture of goods, and no agents to talk to ...

The most dangerous game

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

The sleepers don't seem so tough. They may be more diligent in determining active threats and keen to pop drones but our simple two-man fleet recently managed to defeat a few waves of frigates, cruisers and battleships, and when we were bolstered with another fleet member we sailed through ...

Engaging sleepers in w-space

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Waking up in w-space puts me rather an unfamiliar position, and not just relative to the rest of the galaxy. Being away from normal space, and the market, agents and stargates that I have taken for granted so far, I find that I am entirely reliant on my corporation ...

Boldly going where I haven't gone before

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

I can be quite timid at times and I know I am too shy for my own good, despite how it can appear in communication channels, which explains in part my adventures in New Eden being almost exclusively in high-sec and mostly solo. I also know that I really ...
