Staying almost too long with the Sleepers

Saturday, February 9th, 2013

Me, the static wormhole, and a stray signature start my evening in w-space. The unexpected signature is just gas, though. Boring gas. And, after yesterday's coincidence, warping to the bookmark for the previous static connection has me land next to the current wormhole, saving me a whopping ten seconds or ...

Sleepers and scanning

Saturday, November 10th, 2012

All looks quiet as I come on-line, which is good. A check of the home system shows the static wormhole being the only signature present, which gives me time to fiddle with the medal interface. I don't think we make much use of the ISK-sink, but the brief morale boost ...

Duelling a Drake

Friday, October 19th, 2012

I'm back. Fin's here too, and is scouting around the already scanned w-space constellation. So is anything out there? 'Yes.' Oh, good. 'And no.' There is a K162 from class 5 w-space newly connecting to our home system and ships have been passing between there and an empire space connection ...

Sucked in to a new constellation

Thursday, October 18th, 2012

Who can collapse a static wormhole and resist looking through the new one? Not me! I was going to take a break, but the temptation of missing a planet goo-collecting hauler being wildly reckless in the new w-space constellation is too much to bear, so I swap back to my ...

Sweeping through Sleeper sites

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

'Which planet can I scan?' 'Penny!' Planet Penny? What have I missed? But Fin is just welcoming me as I come on-line and not answering Aii's question. 'Your slow-scanning minions have a mostly boring class 3 w-space system, which has gas and an exit to a low-sec faction warfare system.' That does ...

Caught in an anomaly

Sunday, September 9th, 2012

Aii's here but not responding to my pings. I'll follow his bookmark breadcrumbs to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, which he has kindly left behind. The C3 looks clear from the wormhole, judging by my directional scanner, but an adjustment to show everything and not just occupation and threats ...

Brawling with battlecruisers

Friday, August 24th, 2012

'The wormhole's dead', I tell Shev. Not that it really matters, I suppose, as scanning a system a minute after I collapsed a connection to a dead constellation is the same as scanning the system fresh. I don't think he's had his morning Quafe with added caffeine yet either, so ...

Staying safe slaying Sleepers

Saturday, April 21st, 2012

I'm back in the empty space of the home system. But it's not empty for long, as a minute later my glorious leader appears. Let's get going! The home system is clear of ships and signatures of dubious origins, there being only some expected gas and the static wormhole. The ...

Sleepers and system failures

Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

I'm back in space and hoping to keep it that way. I'd rather not see any more systems failures in my ships, requiring tedious reboots at unpredictable and arbitrary times that may lose me my third ambush this week. An unresponsive ship is a liability. I can only stalk if ...

Scouting and selling loot

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012

The first step in exploration is getting out of the home system. That's pretty easy to accomplish with two wormholes here, our static connection to class 3 w-space and a K162 from class 4 w-space. I'll go backwards, hoping to run in to activity early in the evening. A Noctis ...
