Missing a Venture's a minor adventure

Saturday, November 9th, 2013

There's nothing to update at home, just a refresh of our static wormhole. It's straightforward to resolve, and I jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system to start today's adventure. My directional scanner is clear from the K162, and my last visit being only three weeks earlier gives me ...

Some ships are inadvertently slippery

Friday, November 8th, 2013

I leave the sieged tower and the class 1 w-space system it is in behind me. I can't disrupt the fleet, and they probably wouldn't want me to join in, so instead head back the way I came, through a null-sec system in Perrigen Falls, to our neighbouring class 3 ...

Seeing a siege start up

Thursday, November 7th, 2013

It's all quiet in w-space. I can't hear anyone screaming at all. I don't know if that's good or bad. But I can see two new signatures in the home system, which I resolve to be two exciting new gas sites. Brilliant. I'll be leaving through our static wormhole, which ...

Abaddonded

I'm scanning. One signature of the four in this second class 3 w-space system is a relic site. I know this not because Tyler knows this, but because I successfully hunted a Gnosis battlecruiser there. I can ignore that signature. I can also ignore the K162 from C3a that I ...

Gnawing on a Gnosis

Tuesday, November 5th, 2013

The home system is clean once again. Sure, we still have anomalies floating around, but it's easy to tell at a glance that we only have our static wormhole as a route in and out of the system. It's even been scanned, resolved, and opened by Aii already. That's nice ...

Wormholes or nothing

Monday, November 4th, 2013

No change at home has my ignoring what I already know about, resolving our static wormhole, and jumping to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system to see what's shaking. Nothing within range of my directional scanner, and perhaps nothing at all with only two planets out of range. Launching probes ...

Catching the uncatchable

Sunday, November 3rd, 2013

Also posted on the EVE Online forums. It seems reasonably clear that, in EVE Online, the rewards for certain activities are intended to get higher the more risk those activities entail. The level of reward also reflects the security status of the system the activity is performed in. A little reflection ...

Stale constellations

Saturday, November 2nd, 2013

There is no change in the home system beyond the standard wormhole churn. I say hello to people, delete and move bookmarks, and scan and resolve the new static wormhole. Jumping through to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system and updating my directional scanner sees the pretty normal sight of ...

Making use of actual skill in scanning

Friday, November 1st, 2013

There's nothing unknown at home. The static wormhole used to be 'unknown', but now it's definitely a wormhole. Besides, I know it's there, so I suppose it's a known unknown. Except it's not unknown; I've just been over this. Well, it leads to space that's classified as 'unknown', so there's ...

Helios coda

Thursday, October 31st, 2013

I'm pretty sure I'm heading home through unoccupied or otherwise inactive systems. And I pretty much am. I came out this way and the only active ship I saw was an Imicus a hundred kilometres off a K162 in null-sec, right before it warped way and left the system using ...
