Too late for a Tengu

Monday, November 14th, 2011

I get the call. A Tengu is flying solo in our neighbouring system, shooting Sleepers. That strategic cruiser sounds like an excellent target. If only I hadn't been distracted and turned up late we may have had a chance of catching it. Fin catches me up when I finally arrive, ...

Almost finding trouble

Sunday, November 13th, 2011

I arrive just as Fin is about to peek through one of the two K162s in the system. My glorious leader has scanned our home and found not only our static wormhole to class 3 w-space, but also connections coming from class 2 and class 5 w-space. That gives us ...

Avoiding and discouraging hostilities

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

Another early scouting expedition finds me in an occupied but inactive class 3 w-space system. That's just fine, because it means I can take a good look around our neighbour's home now and come back to surprise them later, no probes required. At least, that's the plan. I locate the ...

Running foul of rocks

Monday, October 24th, 2011

Another day, another empty home system. Scanning my way out of here is simple as always but picking a direction is not as straightforward as usual, there being a second wormhole present today. Along with our static wormhole to class 3 w-space there is also a K162 from class 4 ...

Pushing deeper for the kill

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

I start the evening by deleting all the old bookmarks from yesterday. So many anomalies, so much unrealised profit, so sad. But a new day brings new opportunities, and I scan my way through the static wormhole to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, where a jet-can immediately catches my ...

Hounding and hounded

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

We rejoin our hero after she's already seen the signs of a trap and avoided taking the bait, and navigating dangerous low-sec space and taking evasive action to avoid a gate camp, all to get her colleague home. Our hero, in case you're wondering, is me. Don't rush to praise ...

Expanding our options

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

We need ships. Make no mistake, the Tengu, like all strategic cruisers, is a versatile ship and can fulfil plenty of roles more than adequately. But it is a mistake to rely on a single ship when there are more specialised hulls available. If I had my stealth bomber available ...

Lots of ships, little opportunity

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

I'm home alone, but happy that home is once again w-space. I launch probes and scan, just looking for a little reconnaissance of today's constellation, finding two wormholes in our home system. The addition to our static connection to class 3 w-space is a K162 coming from a class 5 ...

Stopping salvaging and ganking gassing

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

'The wormhole's being stubborn, it's refusing to die.' And so starts another potentially dull night in w-space. There are, apparently, 'no other signatures, anomalies, or anything' in our home system, and there's little point venturing out through a wormhole on its last legs unless I relish the adventure in waiting ...

Changeable conditions

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

A corporation fleet is in our neighbouring w-space system shooting Sleepers. I could join them, if I were feeling sociable, or I could scout for the safety of the fleet, which suits me better. My choice is helped in that a Buzzard has been detected by the fleet in the ...
