Isolate and return

Wednesday, September 5th, 2012

Back, and hopefully refreshed, I arrive with Aii having finished scanning our neighbouring system. The class 3 w-space system has an exit wormhole to low-sec empire space that's at the end of its life, and a couple of ladar sites. Will Aii gas it up? No, because the gas isn't ...

When bait goes bad

Tuesday, August 21st, 2012

Aii likes the look of the Navy Scorpion. Of course, I tell him about how I engaged the same pilot flying a Navy Raven in the same w-space anomaly not five minutes ago, had to bail out, and that this second battleship is probably bait, but that just makes the ...

Chastening a Navy Raven

Monday, August 20th, 2012

All looks quiet at home. One new signature turns out to be a rock site, which I activate before heading through our static wormhole to roam. The neighbouring class 3 w-space system has gone through some changes since my last visit five months ago, as three of the four towers ...

Creeping up on a Cheetah

Friday, August 10th, 2012

Some Sleepers are coming back to the home system, with two anomalies already showing up on my scanners. It's well known that three's a crowd, so I leave my new guests alone by resolving our static wormhole and jumping to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. My directional scanner is ...

Empty space is quiet space

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

Shev's scanning our neighbouring system. 'Seems quiet here', he says, as I join him in an occupied but inactive system. In the bookmarks he's made I spy a connection in addition to the exit to low-sec empire space, and warp to appear next to a K162 from class 2 w-space. ...

Targets in two directions

Monday, July 23rd, 2012

All is clear at home, and corporate bookmarks have the w-space constellation mapped out to low-sec. It looks like I'm going roaming. A check of the home system has no new wormholes, and jumping to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system brings back memories. In one of my earliest recorded ...

Chasing but crashing

Sunday, July 22nd, 2012

I'm by myself again, but not in spirit. Bookmarks have been made for our w-space constellation, and indicate the simplest of constellations today. Home leads to our neighbouring class 3 system, which leads to k-space. Let's see what else I can find, and if any new connections have opened. Home ...

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 ...

Forced on a Typhoon

Thursday, July 19th, 2012

Bearing backwards led to bait, which we naturally took and managed to survive. Forging forwards bagged Fin a hauler incautiously collecting planet goo. And in our currently well-connected w-space there are still options for exploration, which is surprisingly through our static wormhole, given that all we've done so far is ...
