The fleet's back, but an ISP-enforced break prevents me from collecting my Crane or Guardian from New Eden. So I'm scanning again. This time, I have Fin with me to help, which increases our competency levels by an order of magnitude. I catch up to Fin in ...

I get my fearsome new Onyx to the corporation tower in w-space safely. It's a few hours after the bumbling ambush attempt and the wormhole route between our home system and high-sec space is clear. My Crane is left back at my manufacturing base, to be picked up ...

The fleet assembles for some straightforward Sleeper anomaly combat. Three capacitor-hungry and tank-compromised DPS battleships are complemented by twin Guardians, and we're all looking for profitable action. My two recent outings in the Guardian have seen me paired with inexperienced but competent pilots, and now Fin is back ...

Our daily scanning finds some lucrative magnetometric and radar Sleeper sites in a neighbouring system. The only question now is how to reap the profits. Forming a fleet to clear the sites of Sleeper ships is simple enough, we have our battleships and twin Guardians ready. But ...

Another new pilot gets thrown in a Guardian logistics ship to accompany me. In a bid to make me more nervous, our small cadre of wormhole engineers can only field a fleet tonight if this new pilot dual-boxes to simultaneously fly a battleship. Whilst straight DPS superficially requires ...

Our new logistics pilot is thrown in to an anomaly for some experience in the Guardian. Luckily, he's not by himself, with my Guardian for support and a couple of battleships to take care of the Sleepers. Anomalies are the least challenging of Sleeper combat sites, but still ...

Twin Guardians have converted our fleet. Instead of each battleship or battlecruiser relying on its own tank, carrying additional armour plates or hardeners and perhaps supplemented by a small amount of remote repair, the logistics ship supply all of the repair capabilities of the fleet. Having no need ...

There are a couple of corporation capsuleers at the w-space tower, but not enough to attack Sleeper sites. One of the pilots is happy to find a gravimetric site and shoot rocks, which is a good plan given the pleasant company. Unfortunately, he cannot use the Tech II ...

It's time to plunder more Sleeper sites. Our neighbouring w-space system is unoccupied, and full of cosmic signatures ready to be raided. We even have a solid fleet, with twin Guardians, three battleships and a heavy assault ship, to make combat quick and efficient. We warp as ...

Fin quips that the spare Guardian brought in to w-space means there will be less of a delay when one pops. Tish and pish, we'll be fine. If anything, bringing in a spare almost guarantees that we'll never need it, taunting us in to thinking buying it was ...
