How to perform a blanket scan of a w-space system

Sunday, November 25th, 2012

This post is an update to an earlier and less-detailed guide on how to perform a blanket scan of w-space. The aim of my kind of blanket scan of a w-space system is not to see what signatures are in the system, so that you can pick likely wormholes from the ...

Sharing a connection

Saturday, November 24th, 2012

I'll see if I can stick to my natural habitat of w-space tonight. Popping a salvager in null-sec was okay, but it didn't seem to be much of a challenge for some reason. A second wormhole in the home system makes me optimistic that I can stay out of k-space, ...

Null-sec Noctis

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

What's been happening, or what's happening now? Nothing. And nothing. But new signatures in the home w-space system could be exciting, particularly with an extra wormhole to go with our static connection, and a new ladar and magnetometric site each. The K162 comes from class 5 w-space and is stressed ...

Missing ships is understandable, missing a tower is careless

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

I've made my decision. There's no point heading back through the wormhole that leads me to reds, not after I have taken a pot-shot at one of them and have concluded that they are waiting for me. That pretty much leaves me one direction to travel, although I suppose I ...

Tracking transports

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

I'm looking for some action. There's none at home, so I move my search next door, to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, which also looks empty. My directional scanner reports clear from the K162, and the only planet out of range doesn't hold a tower when I warp across ...

Miner on a plate

Tuesday, November 20th, 2012

Nothing but static. My zen approach to scanning. I resolve the wormhole and jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A Retriever mining barge pings my directional scanner, as do four Warrior II drones, but nothing else. I would say my evening is off to a lucky start, and I ...

Scanning my way to skill books

Monday, November 19th, 2012

Me and my glorious leader come on-line at the same time, adding further fuel to the idea that we are the same person. I'm no longer sure myself, but if I am I should probably start updating Our EVE again. Whoever we are, we split up to scan the home ...

Limited to looting low-sec sites

Sunday, November 18th, 2012

Time to roam the constellation! Of course, living in a system with a static connection to class 3 w-space doesn't always offer much of a constellation to roam, as it can terminate to k-space immediately. Much like today, in fact. I even collapsed one wormhole to give me a second ...

Start by scanning and scouting

Saturday, November 17th, 2012

My spider sense is tingling, making me think that someone has already been in the home system today. If that's the case they've hidden their tracks well, as all our anomalies remain and there is no sign of a wormhole expect for our static connection. I'll have to accept that ...

Automatic for the capsuleer

Friday, November 16th, 2012

On the EVE Online forums, Ellente Fervens makes a request that crops up occasionally: the directional scanner should have an option to update automatically, shifting a tedious and repetitive task away from the player to the computer. Conceptually, I agree with this idea. This is sci-fi, and we are piloting ...
