Escalating to an unlikely ambush

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

There seem to be enough early risers in w-space, so I'm up early too, hoping to catch one out. Here's one already, my glorious leader sucking on the gas cloud in the home system, a Schrödinger's Target. Fin's testing her maximised Venture frigate and has no problems with my exploring, ...

Patience pays in planet goo

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

Procrastination and caution has cost me a crack at a Venture. But I have more wormholes waiting, w-space systems yet to be explored. The two I've found in this class 2 system, itself connecting to our home system, include the obvious exit to high-sec empire space. I warp to the ...

Making ISK misses gooing

Saturday, April 13th, 2013

I'm still looking for other pilots. Hey, there's one. Hi Fin. 'Just scanned the wormhole, did not open it yet. Updated the bookmarks.' Nifty. ...is it just the static wormhole at home? 'Yes, ma'am.' Do we want iskies? 'We probably should.' Yeah. We have enough anomalies in the home w-space ...

More wormholes than ships

Friday, April 12th, 2013

I have a bookmark to delete. I should have done it earlier, noting that the wormhole is no longer present, but narrowly jumping back through it as the Thanatos carrier crashed the connection distracted me a little. I'm feeling more relaxed now, so I update the bookmark, and I update ...

Empty ships and dying wormholes

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013

Someone's been scanning in our system. The bookmark folder looks current, which isn't much in itself, but the naming convention isn't ours and the home system is referred to by our names. If I didn't know any better, I'd say our class 5 sister w-space system connects to us today. ...

Getting the timing just right

Monday, April 8th, 2013

Hi Fin. 'The C2 may still be open.' Okay, great. I'll work out what that means in a minute, as soon as I've got my bearings. Ah, my glorious leader scanned earlier, resolving a K162 from class 2 w-space which may still be around some hours later. I'll check its ...

Running in to trouble

Friday, April 5th, 2013

Fed and watered, I'm curious about the current state of the w-space constellation. Glorious leader Fin's out and about, but mostly in Amarr buying and selling, so I'll be relying on my own reconnaissance and earlier scanning for the moment. Jumping to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system sees a ...

Fighting Sleepers by proxy

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

Actually, what's the harm in having a quick sweep of the system's signatures? So the static wormhole leads right back to deadly class 6 w-space, after I've just left C6a behind me for this class 5 system. There could still be K162s, and they are pretty chubby. I have a ...

Spoiling gas sucking by collecting planet goo

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

A new signature in the home system doesn't have me scurrying backwards through w-space looking for activity, what with it resolving to be some rocks, leaving me pressing forwards to our neighbouring class 3 system as usual. A tower with no ships appears on my directional scanner from the K162, ...

Sharks follow bait

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

I'm back again, to see what potential invaders/lodgers are up to, if Transmission Lost are poking through their static wormhole in to our home system some more, and what, if anything, is happening in our unoccupied neighbouring class 3 w-space system. My glorious leader updates me with TL's movements, which ...
