Armour tanking in a pulsar system

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Scanning has a purpose! I need to get myself a new Manticore after the old one exploded, and to do that I have to dock in empire space to buy one from the market. There is a slight complication in that our current static wormhole has been deemed ...

Switching to repper drones

Monday, March 29th, 2010

It's time for some more action. A minimal fleet is available to engage some Sleepers in an anomaly or two. We jump to today's neighbouring system and the squad leader warps the fleet in to the first anomaly. There is some confusion, however, as despite the whole ...

Ensuring a return to the home system

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

An unoccupied class 5 w-space system beckons our fleet to pillage it of profit, but sadly we don't have enough time to dedicate to the challenge. Instead, we'll plunder the neighbouring class 4 system, flying with an Ishtar heavy assault ship fitted for salvaging to speed along our progress. ...

In bloom

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Scanning of the neighbouring system is already complete. There are two towers set up, with a Cheetah covert operations boat, Arazu force recon ship, and Ishtar heavy assault ship visible in the shields. If the occupying capsuleers can leave those ships lying around they are capable of defending ...

Struggling in a class 4 w-space radar site

Friday, March 19th, 2010

We have a fleet for some Sleeper combat. Although the miners I blow up don't go back in to that system earlier, we are not keen to try running anomalies in it just in case they have managed to get some combat pilots awake. Besides, there is an ...

Guardian in a structure

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

With nothing happening, it's time to go out scanning in my Buzzard again. A handy bookmark to our static wormhole is already in the can at the tower, which suggests our scanning man has been out already today, but I can take a look around anyway. The neighbouring ...

Scanning, and plundering anomalies

Friday, March 5th, 2010

A Phobos heavy interdictor appears in our home w-space system. It cloaks and starts scanning. I wonder aloud if we should grab a couple of angry ships and set up a trap on our static wormhole, but the minimal engineer presence makes it unlikely that we could break ...

Recovering a ship from high-sec

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

There is an exit out to New Eden, but not just any exit. It's the second day in a row that a high-sec exit to The Citadel has presented itself, the region of my manufacturing base and where Tigress III has been abandoned. Yesterday we fought Sleepers, today ...

Capturing explosions

Monday, March 1st, 2010

'We need to do this in an organised way.' The expected sarcastic replies come quickly. But moving bookmarks between ships is a painfully slow process that isn't helped when several engineers all want access at once. The suggestion is to copy all the bookmarks in to your ...

An evening in w-space anomalies

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

The fleet's up, and we're ready to steal some Sleeper profit. I am back in a Guardian logistics ship, after my brief return to the Damnation field command ship, looking forwards to keeping the fleet safe as we raid Seeper sites in a neighbouring occupied w-space system. We ...
