I'm slowly but steadily reaching a milestone with the chronicling of my adventures in New Eden and beyond. I long ago passed having written one thousand posts, not even noticing as the number of posts published reached four digits. However, I am yet to reach one thousand posts tagged with ...

An empty home system makes for a relaxing start to the evening. Scanning finds three new signatures, a magnetometric site I make a note of, a ladar site I activate, and the static wormhole to class 3 w-space. Home system map updated, I jump out to explore. My directional scanner ...

I'm alone at home today, with one extra signature to keep me company. Or maybe I'm not entirely alone, as the signature turns out to be a K162 from class 3 w-space. I also resolve our static wormhole and bookmark its position, but my first jump will be through the ...

The Apocalypse is gone, the K162 from class 2 w-space is gone. I think I can salvage the wrecks in that cleared anomaly now, the ones the Noctis barely touched before it was blown to smithereens. I jump in my own Noctis and warp out to... empty space, it seems. ...

It's the Apocalypse. At least, that is my assumption, because the wormhole collapses moments after flaring. It looks like the pilots from the class 2 w-space system made the wrong choice of ship. They were forcing the early collapse of a wormhole connecting their system to ours, after I had ...

Ok, let's see what's out there today! Intruders, apparently, once again pillaging our sites of specific Sleeper interest. I only notice when my combat scanning probes pick up more ships than I expect, plus some drones, at which point I switch to my directional scanner to see an Apocalypse and ...

After compiling my collection of wormhole colours I realised I was perhaps missing an important component, that of the wormhole's designation. The letter and number combination is used to identify crucial information, mostly used to determine whether a wormhole is safe to pass through or help in the calculations for ...

I get the call. A Tengu is flying solo in our neighbouring system, shooting Sleepers. That strategic cruiser sounds like an excellent target. If only I hadn't been distracted and turned up late we may have had a chance of catching it. Fin catches me up when I finally arrive, ...

I arrive just as Fin is about to peek through one of the two K162s in the system. My glorious leader has scanned our home and found not only our static wormhole to class 3 w-space, but also connections coming from class 2 and class 5 w-space. That gives us ...

Another early scouting expedition finds me in an occupied but inactive class 3 w-space system. That's just fine, because it means I can take a good look around our neighbour's home now and come back to surprise them later, no probes required. At least, that's the plan. I locate the ...
