Giving up an ambush for Sleepers

Monday, June 21st, 2010

I'm going to be nosy next door. Our static connection has been opened and the bookmark dropped, but little else seems to be scanned. I jump in to the neighbouring class 4 w-space system and check my directional scanner. Seeing only celestial bodies I launch probes and ...

A massed fleet of one

Friday, May 14th, 2010

I am flying solo again. I head out to scan, hoping to find some juicy miner targets. Resolving the location of our system's static wormhole I warp to it and jump through to find I am spat out over 9 km away from the wormhole. This is further ...

Meeting the new neighbours

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

We have visitors. There are two K162 wormholes in our system, both coming from class 5 w-space systems, both systems having potentially dangerous capsuleers. One system seems rather more of a threat than the other, as they are actively sending people through our system. So far, they ...

Returning reinforcements

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Any help is appreciated, and I have a bookmark for the home system's static wormhole waiting for me. It's an invitation to jump through and explore today's local systems. Next door is a big system, big enough to encourage me to scan each planet's space individually, rather than ...

Scanner scouting scanner

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Sleepers cleared and profit made, there may be time for a quick roam. Our scan man heads out in his Cheetah, now with an added gun, to reconnoitre our local w-space systems of the day. Nothing particularly promising presents itself, but a Buzzard is seen. We set ...

An exit is also an entrance

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

It happens to the best of us. Our scan man ventures too deep in to the wormhole system and stumbles through one EOL wormhole too many. The wormhole collapses before he gets back to it, trapping him outside of our home system. At least he was out ...

Poking a Probe

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

A new day, a new neighbourhood. I head out in my Buzzard to double-team our scanning effort with our scan man. As usual, finding the static wormhole in our home system is easy, as we are dry of other signatures. Our neighbouring system is rich, though, and ...

Opportunistic looting in w-space

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

Scan man goes out to scan, warping to our static wormhole. I've just turned up and am looking for adventure so ask if I can come along. 'I thought you'd want to'. I warp to his position and we both jump through to today's neighbouring system. ...

Taking care not to be caught unawares

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Our wallets need bolstering, so we head to today's neighbouring w-space system to plunder some Sleeper wrecks. Radar sites are a little too fiddly for tonight's schedule, so we'll stick to clearing basic anomalies. And as if to enforce our time limit for the evening our static wormhole ...

Scanning for and collapsing wormholes

Friday, March 26th, 2010

There is no one around and no bookmarks in the can, so I'll take myself out scanning to see what adventures I can have today. My first adventure is in UI frustration, unfortunately. For convenience, I tend to interact with the virtual spheres of the probes not only ...
