Helios coda

Thursday, October 31st, 2013

I'm pretty sure I'm heading home through unoccupied or otherwise inactive systems. And I pretty much am. I came out this way and the only active ship I saw was an Imicus a hundred kilometres off a K162 in null-sec, right before it warped way and left the system using ...

Trying to join in

Tuesday, October 29th, 2013

No new signatures means no new sites, as well as no surprise wormholes. I simply resolve our static connection and jump to tonight's neighbouring class 3 w-space system, where I'm guessing my directional scanner will show me a tower and no ships. I'm a Buzzard wrong, which is better than ...

For the want of carrier skills

Monday, October 28th, 2013

'Hopefully I am not stuck in high-sec.' Holy crap, I'm getting a sitrep. I'm no longer used to this, and I try to follow the best I can but my puny mind cannot process it all at once. Something about bringing in minerals for our industrial projects through a dying ...

Bumping in to a Badger

Saturday, October 26th, 2013

Safe and sound, away from home. The K162 from class 4 w-space, some fifty kilometres away, remains inactive for the past few minutes, the fleet I jumped in to not sending out another search party. I still need to treat the constellation with care, but it poses no immediate or ...

Tengu becomes legion

Friday, October 25th, 2013

It was a good full night last night. I'm on-line earlier today, and with less time to spare, so let's see what I can get up to. I don't have the best start, seeing that some corporation has stolen all of our Sleeper loot, the fiends. I like to keep ...

Outbound connections are rubbish

Thursday, October 24th, 2013

The system lacks pilots. I don't mind too much that the hauler at the tower is empty, seeing as I just recently woke up a sleeping Procurer pilot by sending him back to a clone vat. But there's not much else for me to do here. Even the promise of ...

Dead man piloting

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013

The wormhole lives! Unlike that hauler I just popped in the class 2 w-space system. But the K162 that connects that system to our home is at the end of its life, so even if there were going to be repercussions to my successful ambush I'm not sticking around to ...

Null-sec hopping

Monday, October 21st, 2013

Maybe I'll find some ships tonight. Probably not, as my time is limited, but I can still enjoy the calming pulse of my scanning probes as I uncover and explore tonight's w-space constellation. It's a fairly usual start of having nothing unusual in the home system, letting me flex my ...

Less of an odyssey

Sunday, October 20th, 2013

Moving a literally unexaggerated thousand bookmarks of wormholes from my active folders to the 'old' folder, I undo in seconds all the effort of yesterday to start today's exploration. It's nice and easy in the home system again, with a known site to ignore and the replacement static connection to ...

Sneaking up on a scout

Saturday, October 5th, 2013

New signatures in the home system just give me gas, which is a little disappointing. Heading to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system offers little better, with a tower visible on my directional scanner but no ships. Opening the system map has my considering launching probes on the wormhole, given ...
