Almost ready for anything

It looks like the class 4 w-space pulsar system we have claimed is going to be ours uncontested. A routine check of my directional scanner shows that the previous occupants' tower has been renamed, now called 'bye bye'. I imagine the loss of so many expensive assets is too much ...

Starting to get settled

One day in and we've already been attacked. Two defences have been incapacitated and the tower itself has been tested, although only the shields were damaged and the system's pulsar phenomenon makes them stronger. Setting up a few external defences without guns first in place turns out to be a ...

Sticking a flag in our pulsar home

Friday, November 26th, 2010

My communication is received and two Orcas are moved fifteen jumps through high-sec, waiting for my return. It is a few hours after finding a route out from the class 4 w-space system we're looking to move in to, passing through a spider of a class 3 system, and we ...

A cornucopia of connections

Friday, November 26th, 2010

I'm up early to see if there is a potential route in to this class 4 w-space system from empire space. If I scan an exit out of here there could be a later possibility of getting the tower in and establishing our presence. And I'm not alone today, a ...

Looking for an exit

The class 4 w-space system I am hoping to make home is stabilising as I wake up. This is good, as it means no one else is in the system. A quick scan in my Buzzard covert operations boat confirms that there is no change in the system. And, in ...

Taking a look around

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

I wake up in w-space for the first time in a while, and by myself. The class 4 pulsar system is empty apart from my own ship, and what was left behind after the corporation plundered the off-line assets of the previous occupants. Or maybe they are still current occupants, ...

Cuckoo

Our search for a class 4 w-space system may not be progressing well, today's search ending in an ambush gone awry, but our corporation colleagues in the C5 have made an excellent find. A scout has scanned the w-space constellation and happened upon an off-line tower, one with a corporate ...

Hitting a Hurricane

Local empire space may be lacking wormholes again today. Our base system has nothing to find, and although one jump out finds a wormhole to a class 3 w-space system it is reaching the end of its natural lifetime and is not much use. I resolve only two magnetometric sites ...

Flying in circles through wormholes

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

A host of wormhole connections has already been found in our base system, leader Fin being productive as much as glorious. Sadly, the connections don't lead deeper than class 2 w-space and end up returning to null-sec space. We're not having much luck at getting to a class 4 system ...

Scanning and sites in empire space

I spend a quiet night moving ships. Two wormholes led to two systems, luckily only six stargate passages apart, and my ships get split between two stardocks. It isn't far to collect the ships, although it takes some time to do so, and my thoughts of training for a Charon ...
