Low-sec is dangerous

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Another day, another empty home system. I copy the bookmarks gracefully dropped in to our shared can and go out exploring. The two Badger haulers, Dominix battleship, two Drake battlecruisers, Ferox battlecruiser, Heron frigate, and Kitsune electronic attack ship all make our neighbouring class 3 w-space system look busy, but ...

Shooting Sleepers for fun and profit

Monday, June 20th, 2011

A bit of early scanning finds little of interest. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system holds a pulsar phenomenon, an on-line but empty tower, and a mutated handful of anomalies. There is only one wormhole present in the dozen signatures, which I keep closed for the time being, the rest ...

Tackling a Tengu

Sunday, June 19th, 2011

It's just me, Fin, and some combat probes in our home system today, and the probes are Fin's. I turn up just as our glorious leader has resolved the static wormhole and she warps the two of us in its direction. Having found the wormhole it's only fair that Fin ...

Bumping in to danger

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

All is quiet. At least, for us. Mick and I have popped a Noctis salvager in a class 2 w-space system connecting to our home, and are leaving that system behind to find nothing happening through our static wormhole. Neither the neighbouring C3 nor the C5 connecting in to that ...

Noctis under guard

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Our new neighbours remain busy. I left them after they popped a hauler trying to pass through their class 2 w-space system and now Mick is watching their Noctis salvager clear up Sleeper wrecks in an anomaly. He'd be shooting it, if it weren't for the Legion, Tengu, and Drake ...

Not getting involved

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Two holes to penetrate sounds like fun! One is our static wormhole, leading to class 3 w-space, the other is a K162 coming from class 2 w-space. As the K162 must have been opened from the other side there is more likely to be activity in the C2, so I ...

Malinterception

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

There are lots of wormholes today, and directions to all of them are available in convenient bookmark form. I copy the bookmarks to the nav-comp of my Manticore stealth bomber and go out for a roam. 'But no one in space', Mick tells me as I leave. We'll see about ...

Roaming local w-space

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

A bookmark leads me to our static wormhole, but no further. It's up to me to explore the vast new frontier before me today, how exciting! And by 'vast new frontier' I apparently mean 'the same class 3 w-space system we were in only three days ago'. We came, we ...

Missing gas and getting rocks

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

There is w-space activity today, but it may already be too late for me. 'I spooked their salvager', Mick tells me of a corporation in a class 4 system connecting to our neighbouring C3. Mick's now sitting in a cloaked heavy interdictor on the K162 in the C3 waiting for ...

Sleeper bookends

Monday, June 13th, 2011

What news? 'Nada.' Fin's monitoring the C3 and reports zero activity, and my heading in the other direction sees one connection to be reaching the end of its natural lifetime, so I leave it alone. We may as well try to be productive and, despite there being no anomalies in ...
