Racking up the ISK from Sleepers

Friday, February 24th, 2012

I'm back in w-space after a couple of days of shore leave. Launching scanning probes lets me see what's changed, seeing some anomalies returning to the home system after the latest fleet romped through here, but otherwise everything looks the same. And here's my glorious leader, arriving just as I ...

Swapping w-space for Serpentis rats

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Wondering what awaits me in w-space today has a weak signature turn in to a wormhole in the home system. Could this finally be a random outbound wormhole in our class 4 w-system that I've yet to find? No, it's a disguised K162, how disappointing. It comes from more class ...

Crashing a collapse

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

My skill queue is becoming increasingly meaningless. I have no idea what to train or why, so I'm simply sticking in fairly arbitrary skills for the moment, hoping they'll be useful at some point. I don't really have an aim for a new ship, or any particular ship I use ...

Missing a Magnate and mashing a Mammoth

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

I'm back, and curious to see if my earlier scouting will bag me any targets. I have a few systems to roam through, so ditch my scanning boat for a stealth bomber, aiming the Manticore towards our static wormhole once my system checks are completed. Core scanning probes are visible ...

Running the gauntlet of empty w-space

Monday, February 20th, 2012

After yesterday's shenanigans I think I'd better swing by our tower to see if it's still there. Popping the Noctis of a significant fleet to deny them a good hundred million ISK in profit may have caused some ire in them, but it's good to see they haven't taken it ...

A bit of experience, a bit of luck

Sunday, February 19th, 2012

Oh dear. That Cheetah I saw earlier has mutated. It's no longer a covert operations boat but a ten-ship battle fleet. I went to empire space, for what turned out to be some disappointing ratting, having spotted the Cheetah on my directional scanner as I was leaving the home system, ...

Shooting at a shadow

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

I'm flying solo tonight, let's see what mischief I can get up to. There's a tower, some drones, and a Buzzard covert operations boat in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, and I doubt they are all together. I find the Buzzard piloted inside the local tower, moved since my ...

Following a frigate

Friday, February 17th, 2012

I'm home, safe, and sitting on a K162. I've kind of been chased out of the class 5 w-space system connecting to our home, but only after almost destroying one of their strategic cruisers in transit. The death of the Noctis salvager was just fate, and I had to shoot ...

Intercepting exports

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

I was thinking about having a night off from space and, as I find myself here anyway, my heart may not be in it as a result. But if there's one lesson I've learnt during my mercurial moods it's that I'm keen on exploration. There's no direct scanning that needs ...

Buzzing a Buzzard

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012

I get back to the home w-space system as my glorious leader arrives. I'm not staying long, though, simply swapping to a stealth bomber and returning to our neighbouring class 3 system, where I noticed a lone pod on my directional scanner. I update Fin to the situation and warp ...
