Scanning of the neighbouring system is already complete. There are two towers set up, with a Cheetah covert operations boat, Arazu force recon ship, and Ishtar heavy assault ship visible in the shields. If the occupying capsuleers can leave those ships lying around they are capable of defending ...

It seems like I am having to find a hundred ways of making scanning sound interesting. It must be interesting, otherwise I wouldn't be out in w-space spending many a quiet evening in a Buzzard trying to find wormholes. But I don't particularly look forwards to scanning, the ...

Scan man mines gas, and lets me know that the wormhole signature is RYE. Mmm, rye. I find the wormhole quickly enough and jump through to J113456. Again, so close to harmony. The system is unoccupied and quite big, my probes having to be split to ...

We have a fleet for some Sleeper combat. Although the miners I blow up don't go back in to that system earlier, we are not keen to try running anomalies in it just in case they have managed to get some combat pilots awake. Besides, there is an ...

I am almost ready to switch corporations. I have dropped my roles from DGSE in preparation and I wake up to find myself bouncing off the shields of the new tower. I have a couple of hours before the twenty-four hour grace period elapses, after which I can ...

Corporation changes are afoot. The wormhole engineers are separating from DGSE, which means careful manoeuvring of assets out in w-space as the transition to our new corporation is made. The opportunity is also taken to change from running a racial tower to a faction tower, which may cost ...

I posted recently about motivations for raiding, which explains why I spent a while raiding. What the post doesn't cover is what made me start raiding in the first place, or why I stopped, and the motivations behind my choices.
In the early end-game of World of Warcraft I was ...

With nothing happening, it's time to go out scanning in my Buzzard again. A handy bookmark to our static wormhole is already in the can at the tower, which suggests our scanning man has been out already today, but I can take a look around anyway. The neighbouring ...
