Scanning action

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

Another false start to a day, as a K162 wormhole coming from class 2 w-space distracts me. I can't divert my attention further that way, though, as the wormhole is at the end of its life. Instead, I continue to scan until I resolve our static connection. The wormhole to ...

Sacrificial Badger

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

It's time to hunt. I resolve our static wormhole only to find it to be curiously a gravimetric mining site. A second new signature turns out to be a ladar gas harvesting site, further hampering my exploration beyond our home w-space system. But the third new signature is our static ...

Suppressing fire

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

Glorious leader Fin arrives, and I update her on my mischief. A K162 wormhole has opened in to our system, and I chased a scout in my Malediction interceptor, shooting the shields off his Helios covert operations boat for giggles. A bit of manoeuvring has now seen a Manticore stealth ...

Twin Drakes from low-sec

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

With the threat of the harmless gas miner out of the way I can get back to scanning and exploration. Finding a wormhole in the neighbouring class 3 w-space system should be easy, as I got close to resolving one when scanning the ladar site holding the Ferox. I still ...

Mining in a Manticore

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

The home system is empty, w-space is mine to do as I please. As glorious leader Fin bought me the gas mining skill training book, and it took less than a day to get to level IV, I suppose I'd better collect some gas. Or I could scan and explore the ...

Avoiding a Hurricane

Saturday, December 11th, 2010

Glorious leader Fin is out scanning, and I go to ride her coat-tails. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has the inevitable exit to low-sec empire space, but also present is a K162 wormhole. I divert to explore the other connected system, first noting the tower in the C3 with ...

Bringing the Orca back home

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

It's time to get Fin home. Having stranded her in an Orca industrial command ship in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system I feel somewhat guilty, the wormhole having collapsed behind me. Hopefully I will be able to find an exit to empire space through our new static connection and ...

Almost ready for anything

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

It looks like the class 4 w-space pulsar system we have claimed is going to be ours uncontested. A routine check of my directional scanner shows that the previous occupants' tower has been renamed, now called 'bye bye'. I imagine the loss of so many expensive assets is too much ...

My first battleship

Friday, November 5th, 2010

Fortune smiles on us. A route to empire space is found right on our door-step, a K162 found in our system that connects us to high-sec space, and the exit system is only four hops from Jita. I have a plan for bringing my ships back in to w-space, but ...

Mucking around with a Mastodon

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

Moving homes between wormholes poses several logistical problems. Having a wormhole die of old age can be an issue, but more of a problem is stressing each connection's mass limit with the large number of ships that need to be passed through. Our neighbouring class 4 w-space system's static wormhole ...
