I feel like finding the w-space equivalent of a squirrel and punching it. My attempts to locate vulnerable salvagers only results in chasing my own tail, in-between far too many client crashes, and failing to recognise a juicy gas miner target has me kicking myself. But warping home ...

There are a bunch of bookmarks waiting for me, including one to a 'heavily inhabited' class 2 w-space system, as a colleague describes it. He wants to shoot some of the occupants' ships but none of the caspuleers are coming out to play, frustrating his efforts. Instead, he ...

I honestly thought he was kidding. I recognise Part Chimp hanging around in the audience, chatting and watching the support acts, and manage to have a quick chat with their drummer. The band are really friendly and John and I chat about naming their current album Thriller, releasing ...

I'm scanning again. There are three of us ready to scan our new connections through w-space after collapsing our static wormhole. Well, four. An ally is lost in w-space in his Falcon recon ship because the collapse went awry, which gives us motivation to find an exit ...

I missed an ambush. Luckily, so did my colleagues, as it was aimed at them. A Tengu strategic cruiser, Onyx heavy interdictor, and Curse recon ship came close to catching some corporation members engaging Sleepers, but a close eye on the directional scanner and some agile warping got ...

There is a storm brewing. A space storm! An allied Onyx heavy interdictor sitting on our home system's static wormhole has just interdicted a Helios covert operations boat from the neighbouring class 4 w-space system, shooting it for good measure. The corporation in the C4 seems to ...

There's no one around, no bookmarks in the can, it looks like I'm going out to scan. I mistake some asteroids for a wormhole but cover up my error by never mentioning it to anyone and finding our system's static connection. Jumping to the class 4 w-space system ...

W-space is quiet. It's time to collapse our static wormhole again, hopefully with more success than earlier. The mass calculations prove to be more accurate this time, the wormhole becoming critically unstable when expected and imploding with the final jump home. And now we scan again. ...

Panda cat has been hunting again. She brings in another guest to play with, one that doesn't much like being in a cat's maw and is sadly scared to death. As unfortunate as this is for the poor mouse, such is life when a cat is around. ...

Rolling the hole is not quite controlled and our scout gets lost in space. He's in high-sec empire space but reports himself 'trapped' there, which is an interesting perspective on w-space life. The operation to collapse our wormhole may not have been completely smooth but our new w-space ...
