Only shadows of ships

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013

No new signatures crop up to tease me today, giving me a simple route from home to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. And even in C3a w-space looks empty and isolated, with my directional scanner showing me nothing of interest. Launching probes and performing a blanket scan of the ...

Looking for a Noctis and finding a Sleeper

Thursday, January 24th, 2013

I need to get home. This new clone is already itching from being in empire space, surrounded by so many other capsuleers all talking freely in public channels. Weirdos. I wake Constance up, my life-line to the home w-space system, only for her to roll over and go back to ...

Backwards and forwards through w-space

Monday, January 21st, 2013

A short poke around w-space to look for targets starts out positively, with an unexpected wormhole in the home system. Glorious leader Fin has resolved and bookmarked our static connection, leaving it unvisited, which lets me identify the other wormhole with ease. Warping to it sees a K162 from more ...

Simple kills for a simple capsuleer

Friday, January 18th, 2013

I'm back in space and ready to see how the constellation looks a few hours later. The home system is clear, with no new signatures threatening, and the tower in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system is back up to holding two Heron frigates with the Ferox battlecruiser. The Herons ...

Not safe for Sleepers

Wednesday, January 16th, 2013

It's a Fin! What's happening, my glorious leader? Not much, not yet. Or maybe it's already kicked off, in the past day or so, as half of our anomalies are missing. Those damned blues. We should seek and destroy them, perhaps through this second wormhole in the home system. I ...

Ship watching

Tuesday, January 15th, 2013

Are these three extra signatures in the home system Sleeper-borne or capsuleer intrusions? A bit of both. Some new rocks, with some Sleepers not good enough to be part of an anomaly's fleet, have floated in as a couple of K162s connect to us. Both wormholes come from class 2 ...

Noodling through a network of w-space

Monday, January 14th, 2013

Still all quiet at home. So lonely. One extra signature to keep me warm. Maybe it leads to new friends. Maybe! It resolves to be a wormhole, a K162 from class 3 w-space. And jumping through the wormhole has a Badger light up my directional scanner. There's a tower visible ...

Setting up for a siege

Wednesday, January 9th, 2013

It's so early. Can anyone really be awake in w-space? Apart from me, obviously. Maybe, as another scout has opened a wormhole in to our system, the K162 coming from class 2 w-space. Of course, that could have happened hours ago, even last night, with only the wormhole not yet ...

Ducks and dopes

Friday, December 14th, 2012

Fin's here, and my glorious leader has been scanning. I wonder what rich systems she's found for harvesting Sleeper loot, or if she's spotted any half-awake haulers pottering inside force fields waiting to collect planet goo. 'We got nothing.' Okay then. Our static connection takes us to an occupied ...

From too much to too little

Thursday, November 29th, 2012

I'm needed! I feel like Mrs Peel. But, sadly, I'm needed in our sister class 5 w-space system, where a visiting fleet is foolishly engaging Sleepers with not enough ship, as proved when one of their Tengu strategic cruisers explodes. Of course, it would be better if our corporation could ...
