It's referred to as the scanner overlay and not the 'discovery' scanner for good reason

Monday, August 25th, 2014

Another day absent, even more anomalies brazenly stolen from us. This is an outrage! The perpetrators really ought to have dumped a container with 30% of their plunder at our tower, just as a basic nicety for taking advantage of our system. I normally do, or try to, or maybe ...

Flashing a Mackinaw

Sunday, August 24th, 2014

I just want to check through a K162 before potentially plunging down a long chain of w-space systems, particularly when the discovery scanner will be a mere half-step behind with each jump. I exit the class 6 system to return to our neighbouring class 3 w-space, and warp across to ...

Starting with Sleepers and scanning

Saturday, August 23rd, 2014

Oh no! Our anomalies have been pilfered by dirty pirates in the couple of days that I've been absent. The stinky anomalies I wasn't going to clear anyway. And new anomalies have appeared, including one of our favoured type. But, still, it's the principle that matters. Stinkin' pirates! A favoured anomaly ...

Full of false alarms

Friday, August 22nd, 2014

I align my ship away from one wormhole and towards another, AUs distant, that will take me to another class 2 w-space system, but call a full stop before I accelerate in to warp. A final look at my directional scanner before entering warp sees a new ship in this ...

High-sec orange

Thursday, August 21st, 2014

Moving on. Having missed my chance at catching a planet gooer in a silly ship, I head back through one class 2 w-space system, in to and across our home system, and in to another class 2 w-space system. My directional scanner shows me nothing from the wormhole in C2b, ...

Chasing a warp trail

Wednesday, August 20th, 2014

I've had no connection to space for a while, leaving me rather floating free, not quite sure what to do with myself. I tidied up my pod a bit, which was empowering, and watched some good films involving robots and cyborgs and other heartwarming subjects. I almost got used to ...

Late-night look backwards

Monday, August 18th, 2014

A new signature at home is often an interesting discovery to make. Could it be a new site to plunder for materials that can be sold for ISK—or activated and ignored if you're not industrially inclined? Could it be a new wormhole that leads to opportunity for a combat engagement, ...

Bumping in to Verge Vendor

Sunday, August 17th, 2014

Sleepers have been popped, their wrecks looted and salvaged. A decent amount of plunder is brought home and stashed in our hangar. No new signatures have appeared during the time in the single combat anomaly, so I swap back to my cloaky Proteus strategic cruiser, align to our unopened static ...

Sleeperblivion

Saturday, August 16th, 2014

It's all change at home. A bit of time away sees all five scannable sites missing from space, dispersed by the solar wind, and four new signatures wafted in to replace them. I would try to contain my excitement if they weren't all likely to be gas sites which I'll ...

Finishing the fitting

Friday, August 15th, 2014

Back through class 3 w-space, out to low-sec, across to a wormhole in to a different class 3 system, and warp across that to our K162. I jump home, having passed through inactive and rather dull systems, fully planning to go off-line. So it is that I'm caught rather unawares ...
