I return from my break in the hopes of opening a new connection to high-sec and buying my replacement stealth bomber. Instead I learn that our static connection was collapsed as part of a corporation operation, the local systems deemed unsuitable for current purposes. At least I don't ...

I have a bomber to replace, let's see if I can do so by finding empire space. The home system's static wormhole is resolved nice and quickly, although I wonder if the signature of HFU is portentous. I jump my Buzzard covert operations boat to the class 4 ...

A nav-comp full of bookmarks makes me want to roam. I launch my Manticore stealth bomber, make sure I have a couple of bombs loaded, and warp off to our home system's static wormhole to look for unsuspecting targets. I find little activity or signs of occupancy in ...

Roaming in my Manticore's the only way to hunt because cloaky bombs are best, of course; I'm roaming in my Manticore. But I don't get far when I realise the only bookmark I have for our neighbouring class 4 w-space system is the one leading home again. I ...

An empty home system makes the static wormhole easy to find. My Buzzard covert operations boat is pushed through the connection to the class 4 w-space system on the other side, where a clear scan lets me launch probes in relative safety. I bookmark the wormhole's location and, ...

I launch scanning probes to see what lies beyond the safety of the tower's shields today. It comes as no surprise to find the ever-present static wormhole and I jump my Buzzard covert operations boat through to begin my exploration proper. I find myself in a system I've ...

I have scanned, but not everything. I have a colleague coming out to check the local w-space systems with me, maybe we can find something interesting happening. I engage the warp drive of my Buzzard covert operations boat and head to our home system's static wormhole to continue ...

To scout or to roam, my decision is made when the bookmarks in the can turn out to be old. I'm going nowhere without scanning first. Our static connection is easily found and I jump through to an unoccupied class 4 w-space system. There are signs of ...
