Escalating to an unlikely ambush

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

There seem to be enough early risers in w-space, so I'm up early too, hoping to catch one out. Here's one already, my glorious leader sucking on the gas cloud in the home system, a Schrödinger's Target. Fin's testing her maximised Venture frigate and has no problems with my exploring, ...

Patience pays in planet goo

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

Procrastination and caution has cost me a crack at a Venture. But I have more wormholes waiting, w-space systems yet to be explored. The two I've found in this class 2 system, itself connecting to our home system, include the obvious exit to high-sec empire space. I warp to the ...

Not listening to myself

Monday, April 15th, 2013

My aim is to shoot or be shot tonight. I'm almost getting desperate enough for an explosion that I don't care whose it is. Almost. And some new signatures in the home w-space system look promising, as no new sites have spawned and we have two new wormholes instead. A ...

Running in to trouble

Friday, April 5th, 2013

Fed and watered, I'm curious about the current state of the w-space constellation. Glorious leader Fin's out and about, but mostly in Amarr buying and selling, so I'll be relying on my own reconnaissance and earlier scanning for the moment. Jumping to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system sees a ...

Fighting Sleepers by proxy

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

Actually, what's the harm in having a quick sweep of the system's signatures? So the static wormhole leads right back to deadly class 6 w-space, after I've just left C6a behind me for this class 5 system. There could still be K162s, and they are pretty chubby. I have a ...

Quietness in scanning

Sunday, March 31st, 2013

It's all quiet on the edge of space. It's all quiet on my combat scanning probes too. A single cosmic signature in the home w-space system, our static wormhole, probably accounts for our anomalies remaining, and it's that lone signature that interests me more than the Sleepers in the anomalies ...

Zipping past a Zephyr

Saturday, March 23rd, 2013

I'm feeling kinda tired. I hope I don't cause any mistakes. But any mistakes I make will only affect my own pod, as it's just me in w-space at the moment. Well, not just me, as there's a proliferation of Sleepers in the home system, with another new site today, ...

Ripping open a Reaper

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013

Haii Aii, are you still in empire space? 'Nope. I've mined 6k units of arkonor from a gravimetric site in the home system.' That's pretty impressive. 'And sucked up half of the oldest gas.' The man's a machine. As Aii does what Aii does best, I does what I does ...

Ambushing a Drake to keep it safe

Wednesday, March 6th, 2013

I follow the pod back to the tower. The pod whose Atron frigate I just destroyed. The pod who bounced back to the wormhole and out again. I have no idea why he did that, but if it means the pilots local to this class 3 w-space system will continue ...

Scouting behind a Buzzard

Sunday, March 3rd, 2013

'We have visitors.' At home? I update my directional scanner as my glorious leader welcomes me on-line, and see nothing. Then again, I try to hide as far as from everything as possible precisely to stay off d-scan when coming on-line. I launch probes and prepare to perform a blanket ...
