We could use some fuel and fittings. We tend to run out of the first quite regularly, almost on a schedule, and shortage of the second only let themselves be known right before we want to use them. It's difficult keeping a fully stocked hangar of modules for all eventualities ...

No scanning for me today. Glorious leader Fin got here before me and has taken on the task herself, already in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system and eyeing up prospective targets. There is even copied in to our shared can a bookmark that points to today's static wormhole, so ...

I return to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system in my Manticore stealth bomber, looking for trouble. Two pilots sit inside the shields of the tower in the system, one in an Iteron hauler, the other in a Megathron battleship, but the Megathron isn't there for long. Just as I ...

The popped Iteron pilot must have come from somewhere. I tried following him in to one of the class 3 w-space systems connected from this one, but only saw a few other pilots milling around. I loitered at a wormhole leading in to another C3 system from here, but the ...

We have big neighbours today, the class 3 w-space system occupied and holding a Chimera and Orca, amongst other ships. The carrier and industrial command ship float gently inside the local tower's shields, with an Onyx heavy interdictor and Drake battlecruiser nearby, none of them piloted. My probes find a ...

There are twelve scanning probes in our home system, which is not only enough for anyone but too many for just one pilot. We have at least a couple of visitors. In an attempt to keep a low profile I swap the Buzzard covert operations boat I sleep in for ...

Scanning is done. We have a connection to low-sec empire space through our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. I could have guessed that much. The low-sec exit is only one hop from high-sec, and seven from Amarr, making it convenient for shopping, but I have none to do. There is ...

I am left a single bookmark, pointing to our home w-space system's static wormhole. I shall take advantage of this act of generosity and explore what lies beyond. Jumping in to our neighbouring class 3 system shows promise, as there are sisters core scanning probes and some armour maintenance bots ...

I'm sitting at the tower, watching the ships come in and then go back out again. A new exit to high-sec space has been found in a connecting w-space system, and although it is nineteen hops from Jita it is convenient enough for some capsuleers to want to use it. ...

The atmosphere at the tower is pricked by the scent of blood. A new wormhole connects to us from a class 2 w-space system and our scout finds a Cormorant destroyer salvaging on the other side. There are also a few Drake battlecruisers creating the Sleeper wrecks to be salvaged, ...
