There is a current path out of w-space, but the neighbours may be aggressive. The route back to New Eden leads through an occupied w-space system, and it is reported that the inhabitants are active. I could simply take my Crane through the system, as cloaked and agile ...

Farewell, Tigress II. Shortly after piloting my blockade running transport ship back home to w-space with my new Manticore stealth bomber, the Crane gets targeted by hostile capsuleers when picking up a load of mined ore. I imagine it doesn't take long for the ambushing Proteus to rip ...

I have my new toy, a Manticore stealth bomber. Although my skill training coincidentally lets me pilot a stealth bomber, I never really thought I'd buy or fly one, as it is a ship designed and built purely for PvP combat. My PvP skills are lacking, in ...

I have an idea. I need to go out of w-space to New Eden to make it happen, so it's good fortune that I was last refreshing my industrial research at the corporation's high-sec tower. However, the current entrance to w-space is reportedly approaching the end of its ...

I am shooting a Caldari tower in an Amarr battlecruiser with lasers, this is surely the nadir of my life as a capsuleer. The tower is apparently abandoned in our new class 4 w-space home, with no active defences and shields down. Never the less, we don't want ...

We have a radar site to pillage, located in the class 4 w-space system. Radar sites have stronger opposition defending them than the simpler anomalies, and the higher the class of a system the defences get stronger again. Both of the twin Guardian logistic ships are available, which ...

The Filesystem Checkwits defeat Uldaman! This must be the first time I have completed the dungeon at the right level. Of course, I have been here before, quite a few times. Back in the old days, when I was a young warlock, I needed to get in ...

I don't much care for the current trend of 'branding' venues, and I won't refer to a venue by including its ephemeral brand. But Sailor Jerry Rum is not merely adding its name to an event, it is throwing a series of Christmas parties. Each gig, including tonight's ...

An exit wormhole collapses behind our engineers. They have ventured back to New Eden to get fuel for our tower. It's not a problem, our scanner man jumps in to his Cheetah covert operations boat to find a new wormhole through which the refuellers can return. It ...

The man with the scanner finds an opportunity. A wormhole leads to a class 4 w-space system that itself holds a static wormhole to another class 4 system. Having access to a wormhole that leads to an arbitrary class 4 w-space system is a big improvement from our ...
