Chastening a Navy Raven

Monday, August 20th, 2012

All looks quiet at home. One new signature turns out to be a rock site, which I activate before heading through our static wormhole to roam. The neighbouring class 3 w-space system has gone through some changes since my last visit five months ago, as three of the four towers ...

Aiming high

Saturday, July 28th, 2012

There must be other pilots in w-space I can shoot. I've done it before, after all. I'll try to find one today, which means working my way out of the home system. Getting to our neighbouring class 3 system is easy again, as Shev has scanned the constellation for me, ...

Transports from high-sec

Friday, July 20th, 2012

I want to be more successful at shooting ships today. Yesterday saw me bite at bait and flail at a battleship, which although not fatal for me the engagements were hardly inspiring. Before I can shoot a ship I need to find one, which means scanning. Actually, my first task ...

Bait not taken is unfulfilled

'Some new signatures at home', Fin tells me as I come on-line, and she's not wrong. Seven signatures light up my combat probes where I'm expecting three. I'm hoping they're not wormholes for a change, because we could do with making some iskies from some of our anomalies. I would ...

Seeing only a wormhole die

Monday, July 16th, 2012

It all looks clear at home, and although I don't know yet what mischief I can get up to abroad it looks like I have a choice of direction. A second wormhole along with our static connection to class 3 w-space tempts me to stay with class 4 w-space for ...

Trapped but not chased

Sunday, July 15th, 2012

It's taken too long to uncover, but we are finally monitoring the route some pilots are taking between their class 5 w-space home and empire space. We should be able to identify passing ships early and, if good targets, intercept and engage them. We're in a class 3 system a ...

Finding the right hole

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

Mission: find targets continues where it left off yesterday. I have no support from Fin or Aii at the moment, but that just lets me scout ahead and get in to position for their arrival. I scan the home system, activate a new ladar site, and jump through our static ...

Needless slaughter

Sunday, July 8th, 2012

Bookmarks of the w-space constellation are convenient, bookmarks a few hours old less so. But bookmarks made a few hours ago by another capsuleer become an adventure again. It's like I have a trail of crumbs to follow, with no guarantee that it will lead anywhere or even guide me ...

Diverting to high-sec

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

There's a Loki launching probes, and it's not mine. Pausing at the wormhole out of this class 2 w-space system to take one last glance at my directional scanner shows me the strategic cruiser new to the system, and that it's launching probes probably makes it covertly configured and not ...

Showing no mercy

Friday, June 29th, 2012

I need different ammunition for my Loki, which means another trip to empire space. One strategic cruiser will have to wait for another, though, as it's all quiet at home, Fin's here, and the system is bustling with Sleepers. We could probably do with making some ISK, at least to ...
