Patience for podding

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Yesterday was a bust. Exploring the constellation found a K162 connection in the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, red-occupied too, and although there was a pilot wandering around in an Anathema covert operations boat there was not much for me to do. And even less, once my cloaking device went ...

Stealthing and bombing in w-space

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

I can't yet undo my previous scanning and delete all my patiently collected bookmarks. I am back from afternoon tea and was hoping glorious leader Fin would be here and we could kill our wormhole. Despite my best efforts, and various potential exits, I still haven't found a convenient route ...

Plenty of empty space

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

All is quiet on the home front, let's see what it's like abroad. I scan the home system and like what I see. Having seven known sites bookmarked and only eight signatures will make plucking the new static wormhole out of the cluster easy, particularly as the strength of the ...

Expanding our options

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

We need ships. Make no mistake, the Tengu, like all strategic cruisers, is a versatile ship and can fulfil plenty of roles more than adequately. But it is a mistake to rely on a single ship when there are more specialised hulls available. If I had my stealth bomber available ...

Coming home

Friday, August 19th, 2011

I call on Constance again to see about getting me home. Home being our class 4 w-space system with a pulsar phenomenon. Yesterday had our static wormhole opened early by other pilots passing through, and its wobbly death throes didn't look comforting. Today the system looks clear, and in scanning ...

Trying to stay safe

Friday, August 5th, 2011

There's some activity today, but sadly only in a w-space system far away. One of our colleagues has got himself isolated and is passing the time by ninjaing Sleeper loot from under the noses of a couple of dreadnoughts. At least, he is until Sleeper frigates get hold of him, ...

Getting diverted

Monday, July 25th, 2011

Maybe I can spend a few more minutes here. 'Here' being the class 4 w-space system where a Tengu strategic cruiser and Orca industrial command ship have appeared on d-scan, previously unseen when I scanned my way through the system earlier. And now two Hulk exhumers and an Iteron hauler ...

Going after gas

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

Two signatures are in our mission base system today, and both are wormholes. Both connections are K162s from class 2 w-space, so I pick one at random to visit first, putting me in the same C2 as only three days ago when I nearly snagged a stealth bomber looting a ...

Just passing through

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

Just as sometimes you can scan through a dozen w-space systems and find no exit to k-space, you can scan an awful lot of k-space before you find a wormhole. I like to think that the wealth of conveniently interconnected systems out in high-sec empire space offers almost infinite possibility ...

Tengu exploration

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

I want to get back to exploring. Running missions isn't rewarding for me, and not just in terms of ISK. I could get myself a new Buzzard covert operations boat to scan with whilst taking a break in high-sec empire space, but there are logistic problems when using stations. Docking ...
