Tracking a transport

Wednesday, September 25th, 2013

What's with the proliferation of signatures? The home system is positively bursting with them. Launching probes to see what they are, as I'm going to be exploring anyway, finds a new pocket of gas and a decent haul of four wormholes. Well, I think that's what I've found, but the ...

Mostly finding wormholes

Saturday, September 21st, 2013

Nothing to see here. Move along. And not much to see through our static wormhole, either. The neighbouring class 3 w-space system has the standard tower and lack of ships that is becoming more common, and performing a blanket scan reveals a meagre two anomalies and five signatures. Still, scanning ...

Scanning only takes me so far

Wednesday, September 18th, 2013

Do a couple of new signatures in the home system imply I have company? Maybe, as they are both incoming wormholes, one from class 3 w-space and one from class 5 w-space. I don't see many C3 K162s in our system, and is it may well lead to a dead ...

Just poking around

Monday, September 16th, 2013

It's just the static wormhole that's new at home, and our neighbouring class 3 w-space system doesn't seem much more appealing, not with only a tower and shuttle visible on my directional scanner. I initiate warp to a distant planet so that I can launch probes only to see a ...

Ineffective against an Imicus

Thursday, September 12th, 2013

We really ought to try to make some iskies tonight. Throwing two strategic cruisers hard against a bait battlecruiser was kinda thrilling but it can't be done too often. Having the class 2 w-space occupants collapse their wormhole connecting to our home system will help, as will having a bunch ...

Taking what we can get

Sunday, September 8th, 2013

Mmm, pie. But back to space, and if our neighbours remain dull I'll take my frustration out on our static wormhole. Well, someone's awake, as there are two full sets of scanning probes in the home system. There are no new signatures, though, so whoever is in our system has ...

Wormholes don't just connect w-space

Saturday, September 7th, 2013

I'm hoping today that explosions will come sooner than it takes to strip down an entire tower and almost relocate to a new one. With just the static wormhole in the home system I have an obvious direction to travel, and our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has ships visible ...

Descending in class

Tuesday, September 3rd, 2013

Standard operating procedure. Launch probes, check home is clear, and resolve our static wormhole. Jumping to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system sees core scanning probes on my directional scanner and nothing else. Core probes don't detect ships, and as I am out of d-scan range of anything obvious I ...

Bad scouting bags a gooer

Monday, September 2nd, 2013

I don't know what to do. I'm not going to sit on this wormhole any longer, that's for sure. Well, no longer than it takes me to work out a plan for the rest of the evening. The locals of this class 3 w-space system are not around, I've got ...

Bringing home the planet goo

Wednesday, August 28th, 2013

I'll aim for less scanning and more explosions today. That doesn't sound too hard, does it? Space may even agree with me, sending a second signature in to the home system for me to resolve as a second wormhole, a K162 from class 4 w-space. There could even be a ...
