Scouting in my colleague's wake

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

Scanning when there are only one or two signatures in the system is pretty easy. Scanning when your glorious leader has been here an hour earlier and bookmarked all there is to find is even easier. I'm not going to fall in to the trap of assuming that nothing's changed ...

Staying safe slaying Sleepers

Saturday, April 21st, 2012

I'm back in the empty space of the home system. But it's not empty for long, as a minute later my glorious leader appears. Let's get going! The home system is clear of ships and signatures of dubious origins, there being only some expected gas and the static wormhole. The ...

Taking on a Tengu

Friday, April 20th, 2012

I'm heading forwards. Backwards provided a little entertainment, as podding a capsuleer saw my security status plunge to new lows, but the class 3 w-space system behind a K162 in our home system only holds sleeping pilots. One was doing nothing when I first entered, and two were up to ...

Touching the monolith

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

Like any good hooligan, I'm looking abroad for a fight. But which direction shall I head? There are two wormholes in the home system today, one leading to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system as usual, and another coming in also from class 3 w-space. A K162 is always a ...

Getting fuel and more fuel

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Simplistic scanning again today, with our static wormhole sitting alone in the system once more. There's not much to do here but resolve the connection and jump through. And there seems to be little to do in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system too, as my directional scanner shows me ...

Ignoring a small issue can make it grow

Monday, April 16th, 2012

Burn, baby, burn. Three gas sites and two rock sites have all evaporated in to the vacuum, which should make scanning simpler now. And indeed it is, with just the one signature in the whole system. I like this. I resolve our static wormhole—for it can be nothing else—and jump ...

Iterons galore

Sunday, April 15th, 2012

Scanning new rocks and a new wormhole is not particularly exciting. A second wormhole on the outskirts of our home system being a K162 from class 2 w-space is rather more interesting, though. And it gets better, as jumping in to the C2 sees a tower and Iteron hauler on ...

Stacking up the stealth bombers

Saturday, April 14th, 2012

Maybe today I'll go out exploring. Yesterday's static wormhole was already in its death throes the first time I warped to it, stopping me in my tracks. Although it collapsed whilst Fin and I were Sleepering, ostensibly creating a new wormhole in its place waiting to be found today, the ...

Making back some iskies

Friday, April 13th, 2012

I've suffered more losses than got kills recently. Or it feels that way, anyway. Maybe they haven't been entirely unexpected, what with flying in to waiting fleets or engaging obvious bait, and I have mitigated each loss by flying what I know I can afford to lose, but I still ...

Buying a ship and leaving it docked

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

I need a new stealth bomber after recklessly losing it to obvious bait. Um, I mean, heroically protecting the home system from invaders intent on stealing gas that we were never going to harvest anyway. Buying a new Manticore shouldn't be a chore, though. All I have to do is ...
