Return to the radar

Friday, March 22nd, 2013

So we've spooked a pair of ratting battlecruisers, and a potential gasser in the process. Now what? Well, I'm in a class 2 w-space system, entered from a K162 in high-sec, and there's at least a static wormhole to class 3 w-space to find, if not the system the Drakes ...

Bait and baiter

Thursday, February 21st, 2013

The Noctis has been destroyed, the Legion has gone. I can slow down and explore our neighbouring class 3 w-space system properly. The two ships weren't local, as neither the salvager or strategic cruiser retreated to the tower visible on my directional scanner, so there is probably a second wormhole ...

Failing to be bait

Wednesday, February 20th, 2013

Another day in w-space. This is too cool. My glorious leader is here as well, and although she's sitting on our static wormhole Fin is a couple of signatures away from jumping to our neighbouring class 3 system. I leapfrog ahead, and, as she resolves what turn out to be ...

Mugging a Megathron made by the navy

Monday, February 18th, 2013

(The newly resurrected Our EVE tells the first half of this tale, from the perspective of my glorious leader.) 'Two Ventures are next door.' Sounds good, tell me more. 'But they are sitting in the tower now.' Such a shame. I haven't bagged one of the new mining frigates yet. It ...

Penny in the middle

More signatures light up my combat scanning probes in the home system. The same number of anomalies remain, and the signatures are weak, so will be Sleepers and not wormholes. All looks quiet. I resolve the static connection and jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system to look for ...

More than a cov-ops or two

Sunday, February 3rd, 2013

Hello, I don't remember core scanning probes being in this class 6 system. And here was me thinking that w-space was empty and boring again. Still, the probes could just belong to one of the two covert operations boats I saw piloted in a tower in an adjoining class 3 ...

Going all around the constellation to stay at home

Saturday, January 19th, 2013

I'm hoping for more than a newbie in a frigate and empty covert operations boat to shoot today. And here's my glorious leader to help! What shall we do today, Fin? Shoot Sleepers in anomalies—the shortcut to explosions—explore, or both? Explore to start with, we think, so we resolve the ...

Ship watching

Are these three extra signatures in the home system Sleeper-borne or capsuleer intrusions? A bit of both. Some new rocks, with some Sleepers not good enough to be part of an anomaly's fleet, have floated in as a couple of K162s connect to us. Both wormholes come from class 2 ...

Scanning back and forth

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

Signatures are accumulating as quickly as anomalies are depleting. And we're not clearing any of those anomalies, so the profit is going to other corporations. This isn't an ideal situation. Two new signatures accompany the static wormhole, and these two are wormholes too, both K162s from class 4 w-space. Damned ...

Early reconnaissance

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

It's early. I'm going to see if anyone else is active at this time of day. Maybe a sleepy industrialist wants to check on his planet goo, or a solo battlecruiser pilot wants to make some lazy ISK in an anomaly. Or everyone's having a lie-in. It feels that way ...
