Claiming a Covetor's crokite

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

The corporation is giving the wormhole a little push. It already looks quite wobbly but we'd rather it collapse now to give us new w-space systems to explore. I am doing my bit to help, by sitting cloaked at a distance. Collapsing wormholes fascinates me like a fiery ship explosion; ...

Spot the ambush

Saturday, October 2nd, 2010

I'm trapped. I've jumped in to a class 4 w-space system after following a Helios covert operations boat in the hopes of finding activity and, as a reminder to be careful what you wish for, found plenty. A pair of interceptors and a couple of strategic cruisers are camping their ...

Bombing a Bhaalgorn

Monday, September 27th, 2010

The strategic cruisers have made a strategic withdrawal but there are other systems to explore. One of the class 4 w-space systems we have a connection to holds a tower, which seems like a good place to look for some more activity. Jumping in to the system sees a Drake ...

Mangling a miner

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

I'm back in my Buzzard and scanning. Our neighbouring w-space system has been purged of the mining menace and is again safe to patrol, allowing me to explore further afield in my covert operations boat. My probes are launched and being used to look for wormholes, but I ...

Bagging a Badger

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

I load my Buzzard's nav-comp with bookmarks from our can and start exploring. My covert operations boat doesn't get too far, our static wormhole no longer where the bookmark guides me. But the K162 wormhole, opened in to our own system from another, is still alive and I ...

Turning the tables

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

It is a good time to explore. The home system's static wormhole has only just been found and opened, and today's neighbouring class 4 w-space system holds a tower. I warp to the wormhole and jump through, locating the tower by using the directional scanner. I have ...

ECM system check

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I spy some bookmarks in our shared can. Being able to jump straight in to my Manticore stealth bomber to roam the day's w-space constellation is convenient. But warping to where our static wormhole should be only finds empty space. It looks like I'll need to scan ...

Counter-strike

Friday, August 20th, 2010

A new day means a new wormhole to find. I am hoping my early scanning will catch some capusleers being rather more cavalier about their attitudes to the directional scanner than in busier periods. But most of the time early scanning only results in empty w-space systems until ...

Lost and found

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

The wormhole's dead, long live the wormhole! Our static connection is collapsed after the neighbouring system has been plundered and I arrive in time to help scan the new constellation. The replacement static wormhole is easy to find and jumping through to the class 4 w-space system presents ...

Wormhole skirmish

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

There is a storm brewing. A space storm! An allied Onyx heavy interdictor sitting on our home system's static wormhole has just interdicted a Helios covert operations boat from the neighbouring class 4 w-space system, shooting it for good measure. The corporation in the C4 seems to ...
