Good bad timing

Saturday, June 7th, 2014

Nothing has been scanned yet, and there are two new signatures in the home system. I like a mystery! Aww, a blanket scan shows that both signatures are too weak to be K162 wormholes, which probably helps explain why all our anomalies are still around. They're probably just gas sites. ...

Back-and-forth with bait

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2014

I'm feeling more positive after yesterday's playful encounter. What's up for tonight? A ship in our home system, for a start, which my combat scanning probes inform me of. Warping across from my safe spot lets me see the Golem marauder on my directional scanner, and switching overviews and repeating ...

Finding Impass

Thursday, April 17th, 2014

There's no change in space, as far as I can tell. That's a little over 14 AU, for what it's worth, and I'm fairly sure space extends at least a little beyond that. Perhaps I should take a better look around than merely punching my directional scanner in a safe spot ...

Making an exit

Monday, December 30th, 2013

Our good anomalies have been swept away again. Oh well, if we couldn't get organised it's no big loss, particularly as we still aren't in a position to clear them ourselves tonight. They'll come back, just as the gas comes back. We have two new pockets floated in to the ...

Following a fleet

Sunday, October 21st, 2012

Fin's next door, and is a bit of a dawg. She's heard I like finding wormholes leading to class 3 w-space systems through wormholes leading to class 3 w-space systems, and has delivered. I jump to our neighbouring system, get a sitrep on the three towers, unpiloted Prorator transport, and ...

Noodling with a Noctis

Friday, September 16th, 2011

I'm going home. Scanning has unconvered a fair few w-space systems but has taken its toll on my time. I leave behind the Bestower hauler I'm watching, who still doesn't look like moving, to jump backwards through a couple of class 5 w-space systems. I am ostensibly checking for activity ...

If at first you don't succeed, bring more ships

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

It looks like collapsing the wormhole attracted the attention of some capsuleers hoping to catch a juicy Orca prize. Thankfully Mick and I were around and in suitable enough ships to repel the attack and protect the industrial command ship, as well as Fin being prepared for such an assault ...

A low-sec distraction

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

To take my mind off the inactive skill queue Fin and I head to low-sec. Fin has fitted a couple of Drake battlecruisers to be agile and hard-hitting, sacrificing most of the passive tank as a compromise, and we're going to look for trouble. Roaming around w-space can be quiet, ...

Causing ripples in null-sec

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

There are two ways out of our system but only one is viable. Our static wormhole is reaching the end of its lifetime and isn't worth travelling through, so it's convenient to have an incoming connection from a class 3 w-space system. I am told there is a tower in ...

Counter-strike

Friday, August 20th, 2010

A new day means a new wormhole to find. I am hoping my early scanning will catch some capusleers being rather more cavalier about their attitudes to the directional scanner than in busier periods. But most of the time early scanning only results in empty w-space systems until ...
