Keeping home clear

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

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 ...

Nudging another Noctis

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Hi, w-space, what's happening? Not much, Penny! That's okay, I'm not going to ask about your TPS reports, I just want a poke around tonight's constellation, see what's out there. There's little left at home apart from anomalies, the static wormhole being the only signature, but jumping in to our ...

Chasing battleships

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

The Sleepers are going at it like rabbits. There are two new signatures in the home system, doubling what was here yesterday. Actually, maybe the Sleepers are only indirectly responsible for the new signatures, as resolving them reveals two wormholes instead of new infestations. Capsuleers are to blame for my ...

From snake to salvager

I'm still in the class 5 w-space system bivouac, but glorious leader Fin is elsewhere. She's only as far as the neighbouring C4, scanning the constellation, so I go out to join her. There are two Orca industrial command ships, a Rorqual capital industrial ship, and a Tempest battleship all ...

Eyeing up an Orca

Monday, December 27th, 2010

I'm scanning, of course. Ignoring the sites in our home system in favour of wormholes sees me jumping in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, to be greeted by two towers and no ships on my directional scanner. I warp around a bit to locate the towers and look ...

Looking to pop bubbles

All ships are home and safe, it's time to see if we can rattle some cages. Or, indeed, if there are any cages to rattle, w-space looking fairly quiet so far today. I take my Manticore stealth bomber out for a prowl, passing straight through the inactive class 3 w-space ...

Being in the right system at the right time

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Just as I think the evening is over I am called out to high-sec to bring in one last ship. Fin made the journey in her freighter back to our base system but couldn't endure a return trip with more ships, instead bringing back just the one. But there are ...

Second-day frustrations

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

A new day brings a new constellation to explore, and with it new hope. The bookmarks in our shared can look current, and there are no notes about unstable wormholes. I copy them to my nav-comp and take my Buzzard covert operations boat out to reconnoitre the connecting systems, and ...

Lost and found

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

The wormhole's dead, long live the wormhole! Our static connection is collapsed after the neighbouring system has been plundered and I arrive in time to help scan the new constellation. The replacement static wormhole is easy to find and jumping through to the class 4 w-space system presents ...

Restraining a Raven

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

The corporation has been busy. My colleagues are out of our home system and shooting an off-line tower that they owners didn't feel was worth paying a ransom for. That's a shame, but I suppose as our fleet has already popped the hangars and stolen everything ejected there ...
