Hacking a Cheetah

Sunday, October 13th, 2013

I'm back, with options. The neighbouring occupants could have woken up, a new wormhole could have opened in the constellation, or, most likely, the static exit to high-sec has died and been replaced. Not a bad start is seeing that the K162 from class 4 w-space connecting to our home ...

What we have here is a failure to think straight

Wednesday, October 9th, 2013

I come home from another extended w-space constellation to three Raven Navy Issue battleships, a Basilisk logistics ship, and Noctis salvager visible on my directional scanner. And, of course, all the Sleeper wrecks that are made by such a fleet. Here's me scanning wormholes and exploring dozens of systems over ...

Slow, slow, fast

Thursday, October 3rd, 2013

Some gas has drifted away, some new clouds have appeared. That's all the excitement in the home w-space system accounted for, is it any better next door? Not obviously, with my directional scanner clear from the K162 in the neighbouring class 3 system, although the black hole sits imposingly in ...

Recovering null-sec relics

Thursday, September 26th, 2013

I know C2a. Not intimately, like we see each other every day, but in reconnoitring the path an Occator transport took, before its warp core-stabilised cheating self escaped my clutches, I entered and scanned the class 2 w-space system. I know it has the two static wormholes, one to the ...

Scanning only takes me so far

Wednesday, September 18th, 2013

Do a couple of new signatures in the home system imply I have company? Maybe, as they are both incoming wormholes, one from class 3 w-space and one from class 5 w-space. I don't see many C3 K162s in our system, and is it may well lead to a dead ...

Covert tower siege

Friday, September 6th, 2013

I'm returning to a fairly extensive w-space constellation, but I have no idea what's out there. Earlier, I crossed paths with a few cloaky strategic cruisers but that was about it, which explains how I had the time to scan so far. But I didn't get to the end of ...

Covert cruisers avoiding each other

Thursday, September 5th, 2013

Bleary-eyed scanning may not be good for my health, but I'm rather hoping that bleary-eyed planet-gooing will be worse for others. I just have to find some. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system looks as sleepy as me though, with my directional scanner showing me nothing from the wormhole. The ...

Strange behaviour

Friday, August 30th, 2013

What's shaking in the constellation? Well, the K162 from class 4 w-space has mysteriously disappeared from our system, perhaps having something to do with my popping and podding a pilot from there for having the temerity to try to haul planet goo safely through our home. That's okay really, as ...

Having a second crack on a high-sec wormhole

Sunday, August 25th, 2013

A quick check of the constellation on my return is disappointing. I had hoped that the dying static wormhole to class 1 w-space would be replaced by something fresh, only to turn up at the connection to the class 4 system holding it to see that wormhole now in its ...

Chasing a cheap pod

Sunday, August 11th, 2013

New signatures in the home system give me a second wormhole plus a couple of sites. The K162 from class 4 w-space could be interesting, so I head backwards to start the evening, jumping in to the system to see a Cheetah covert operations boat on my directional scanner. Still ...
