Bumping in to a familiar clone

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

I've missed some action. I turn up at the tower just as a small corporation fleet is returning from successfully engaging a couple of combat ships. It's always good to see kills with no losses posted on our kill-board. The engagement may mean there is no one ...

Ready to cause mischief

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

For an early start I follow our scan man scanning. Our own static wormhole is found and jumped through in to an occupied but inactive system, where I barely have time to resolve a couple of sites before I am hauled by squad warp to a wormhole the scan ...

Changing plans

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Being by myself, it looks like I'm scanning. There are bookmarks in our shared can but warping to the first leaves me floating in empty space, so they are not current. I launch probes, find the static wormhole elsewhere, and jump through. The directional scanner shows only ...

Daring a destabilised wormhole

Friday, May 28th, 2010

All alone, I scan. I find our home system's static wormhole and warp to it, but I don't jump. Examining the wormhole shows it to be on the verge of collapse, because of the total mass of ships that has passed through it, but it isn't at the ...

A miner's life is short

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Space doesn't exist. There may be the occasional molecule of gas floating around aimlessly in the void, but quite how nothing, the vast emptiness of vacuum, can be claimed to be something I'm not sure. Or the server is down. And luckily it is just a server ...

It is an ex-humer

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

There is even more to explore. All the excitement in the class 2 w-space system has meant I haven't gone through our static wormhole yet. But by the time I am in position to do so our scan man has gone to the edge of his previous exploration ...

Scanning a route to nowhere

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

W-space is mine to explore. I quickly find the static wormhole in our own system and jump in to the C4 on the other side. The neighbouring system holds no surprises, being unoccupied and mostly empty, the outer planet keeping a close eye on the system's static wormhole. ...

Returning reinforcements

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Any help is appreciated, and I have a bookmark for the home system's static wormhole waiting for me. It's an invitation to jump through and explore today's local systems. Next door is a big system, big enough to encourage me to scan each planet's space individually, rather than ...

Catching a Keres

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

I'm going to rewire my brain. It must have been over a year since I took advantage of neural remapping, when it first became available, and I hoped that I wasn't making any stupid choices at the time because of the restriction of only being able to remap your ...

Three towers, one force field

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

It doesn't look like there will be an Azerothian adventure tonight. The two of us available remove our leather britches and don thrilling space trousers and head in to New Eden. Or, at least, some region of w-space possibly connected tenuously with New Eden. We arrive at ...
