Today will be a supply run. Glorious leader Fin has been scouting and explored our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, finding two towers, no pilots, and an exit wormhole to high-sec empire space. I take my Crane transport ship out through the exit to the Genesis region, looking to buy ...

It's almost still 2010. I didn't quite manage to post my final review of the music I've been listening to at the end of December, but here it is before the end of January. This is a triumph!
After five years or so and various label issues, Autolux release second album ...

A Noctis isn't much use when salvaging other people's wrecks. The salvager ship's tractor beams won't be able to lock on to wrecks owned by others, negating the main bonuses of improved range and speed of the beams. A more traditional destroyer is more suitable, being agile and quick, zipping ...

Scanning the home system is becoming involving again. Two new gravimetric sites and an extra ladar site need resolving whilst I hunt for today's static wormhole, and perhaps other signatures are disappearing. The changes are making it difficult to discern the new wormhole signal from the static cloud of bookmarked ...

A conspicuous wormhole is a good wormhole. At least, it is in the home system, either to go out exploring or to warn of potential invasion. Today, as is the more common case, I am heading through our static wormhole to explore our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A punch ...

The reckless miners are tooling up. A Rattlesnake battleship and Drake battlecruiser are piloted at the tower in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, along with two other pilots in a Covetor mining barge and Anathema covert operations boat. But none of them are active. I suppose they could have ...

Scanning again, I jump through our static wormhole in to another pulsar system. Our home class 4 w-space system holds a pulsar, nicely boosting shields and capacitors, and this C3 gives the same benefits. If I find any ships here, I had better take stronger shields in to account. Nothing ...

My warlock is happy adventuring in the Southern Barrens. The scenery is new and vivid, the quests are varied and generally involving, and there is almost no one else around. I am guided from Northwatch Hold to a new oasis, then south to a camp, then further south to another ...

There are more missing signatures at home. I imagine Fin has been harvesting gas, which is relatively quick to do and helps declutter our class 4 w-space system. I delete the bookmarks to obviously missing signatures but don't perform a full scan of the system, instead resolving our static wormhole ...

The Noctis got away, but the activity doesn't halt. Our bombing run on the salvager sees the alert pilot escape from my inept clutches, thwarting glorious leader Fin's kill, leaving the Sleeper wrecks still in the anomaly. And it doesn't look like the local pilots want their profit go to ...
