Spotting the signs of hauling

Monday, August 5th, 2013

Tonight I shall focus, and not be as careless as I was yesterday. That's the plan anyway, and my plans always go so well. At least they generally start well, and my focus in the home system is exemplary, the sole signature of our static wormhole not giving my mind ...

Hitting it big with a Heron

Sunday, August 4th, 2013

Pilots or rats, either works for me. No extra signatures in the home system pushes me through our static wormhole to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, where I see ships. Ships on my directional scanner, but ships all the same. A Nemesis stealth bomber is neither here nor there, ...

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 ...

We're still watching

Wednesday, July 31st, 2013

Locating the towers in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system also locates all of the ships. This is no surprise, given that Aii and I have only just ambushed a couple of their miners in an ore site. To find other ships not huddling inside the womb-like comfort of a ...

Making easy iskies from explosions

Monday, July 29th, 2013

There's a Retriever visible in the home system. Kill, kill! Oh, the mining barge's name looks familiar, and Aii's on-line. My Sherlockian skills lead me to deduce it is my colleague mining, and not an intruder. That, and Aii greeting me and asking for another few minutes to chomp on ...

From ambushed to ambush

Saturday, July 27th, 2013

Aii's home and scanning, and we have new signatures today with at least one other wormhole. As Aii finishes up, I hop past him through a K162 to a class 3 w-space system, hoping to find activity but instead appearing seven kilometres from the wormhole in what looks like an ...

Scanning forwards alerts the locals

Thursday, July 25th, 2013

I'm back from a break, and expecting at least one new wormhole to have opened. Not at home, though, and not even in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, but definitely connected to our constellation. Well, the extended constellation, as I'll need to bridge through a high-sec empire space system ...

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 ...
