Entertained by an over-reaction

Thursday, August 22nd, 2013

With any luck there will be a w-spacer or two out tonight. There's me, for a start, but I can't shoot myself, so I resolve our static wormhole and jump to the neighbouring class 3 system. My directional scanner tells me my princess is in another castle, with a tower ...

Just about making it home

Thursday, August 15th, 2013

I was going to scan, thinking the destruction of a planet-gooing Viator would have subdued the locals, but a pilot at the tower swaps back to his Crane. I can't quite believe a second transport would be thrown in front of my ship, just to see if I was actually ...

Getting a second go at a gooer

Wednesday, August 14th, 2013

How extensive will the constellation be tonight? I shift yesterday's thirty wormhole bookmarks—only one made outside of w-space—to a temporary folder and start afresh. The home system gives me a straightforward start, the static connection being the only wormhole and my first of the day. Jumping to the neighbouring class ...

Afternoon scanning

Monday, August 12th, 2013

Maybe today I can aim higher than a Heron. Popping frigates is a fun distraction, but that's all it really is. More new signatures at home could offer different directions to head, to look for opportunity, but it's just gas, gas, gas. And a bit more gas. I have no ...

Too late for tourists

Saturday, August 10th, 2013

Is anyone out there? Hello? I'll check next door. Two canisters labelled as containing ammunition appear on a check of my directional scanner in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, and nothing else. That's fine, as it lets me launch scanning probes at the wormhole to blanket the system and ...

Bringing back the ore

Saturday, August 3rd, 2013

I'm about to turn tail and head home from a disappointing evening when a Retriever warps in to the local tower. Not local to me, but local to the system. I'm in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, with an exit to null-sec that I would have used were it ...

Almost getting what I wanted

Friday, August 2nd, 2013

I actually won't mind a stunted constellation terminating in null-sec today. After behaving with a rather cavalier attitude to my security status by attacking a few pilots in low-sec empire space in the past few days, I could probably use a relatively quiet evening ratting back some of it back. ...

Temporarily trapping a transport

Thursday, August 1st, 2013

I'm scanning. Despite an Iteron appearing at the local tower, I doubt our class 3 w-space neighbours will be throwing any more ships at us. Even so, Aii watches the hauler closely as I resolve the handful of signatures in the system. And along with the static exit to low-sec ...

Catching up with a customs collection

Wednesday, July 24th, 2013

I've not been out early in a while. Maybe industrialists are sneaking around, hoping to avoid attention. Let's see. Or I would, if our static wormhole lived long enough for me to warp to it. But I suppose having it die now is better than having to wait longer for ...

Tripping over transports

Sunday, July 21st, 2013

The system's completely bare! I don't know what's happened, maybe a glitch in the matrix, but there's almost nothing to see in our little corner of w-space. At least the static wormhole remains, which hopefully will lead to somewhere more populated. Jumping to the neighbouring class 3 system sees occupation, ...
