Flashing a Drake

Thursday, July 26th, 2012

It's just me and my shadow. Hopefully my shadow can find someone to shoot, because I've not been doing well lately. I wonder if the unidentified signature in the home w-space system could lead to an incautious pilot, but as it resolves to a radar site that pilot would have ...

Scanning through the w-space constellation

Tuesday, July 24th, 2012

Returning from a short break planetside I'm keen to see if anything has changed. Mick's gone back to our sister class 5 w-space system for a start, but otherwise space looks just about the same. Fin's roaming through a constellation scanned on Mick's earlier exit, confirming the death of a ...

Getting it backwards

Saturday, July 21st, 2012

Pilots! Friendly ones, too. Mick and Aii are out and about, and having a constellation already mapped is an unusual circumstance to come on-line to. But there appears to be nothing happening, and our static wormhole is at the end of its life, although no one's sure when it started ...

Transports from high-sec

Friday, July 20th, 2012

I want to be more successful at shooting ships today. Yesterday saw me bite at bait and flail at a battleship, which although not fatal for me the engagements were hardly inspiring. Before I can shoot a ship I need to find one, which means scanning. Actually, my first task ...

Trapped but not chased

Sunday, July 15th, 2012

It's taken too long to uncover, but we are finally monitoring the route some pilots are taking between their class 5 w-space home and empire space. We should be able to identify passing ships early and, if good targets, intercept and engage them. We're in a class 3 system a ...

Finding the right hole

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

Mission: find targets continues where it left off yesterday. I have no support from Fin or Aii at the moment, but that just lets me scout ahead and get in to position for their arrival. I scan the home system, activate a new ladar site, and jump through our static ...

Performing an exorcism

Wednesday, July 11th, 2012

I'm looking for someone to shoot. Maybe Fin's found a suitable target already, but unless they're in the home system I suspect not, as there are no new bookmarks created today. It looks like my glorious leader has arrived at the same time as me, so we can share tonight's ...

Crashing, collapsing, crushing

Monday, June 25th, 2012

It's a full house. Is mining happening? 'It was considered, then we found two wormholes.' My glorious leader is currently in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, resolving what turns out to be a fresh outbound connection to class 1 w-space, and invites me along to take a look. I ...

Provoked inactivity

Monday, June 11th, 2012

I'm ready to take a poke around tonight's w-space constellation, with only one caveat. I need to reveal it first. Two extra signatures at home may indicate an extended constellation, and they do, kind of. A K162 from class 2 w-space connects in to our home system, but the wormhole ...

Looking the wrong way

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

Will anything happen today? Fin's here, for a start, and our shared bookmarks folder looks to hold the locations of K162s from both class 2 and class 5 w-space. I get a sitrep from my glorious leader, who is now in the C2. 'The C5 has a Mastodon putting up ...
