Losing out on loot

Sunday, March 10th, 2013

'System scanned, wormhole not open yet.' Ah, good, Fin's home. I kinda forgot that she got caught and sent back to a high-sec clone vat. Thankfully, the puppet and Aii found a high-sec connection yesterday, which our glorious leader was able to use to return. Now we can get back ...

Refining the art of collapsing a wormhole

Saturday, March 9th, 2013

Collapsing a wormhole is a curious art. I got the hang of it better when I reversed my calculations. Instead of relying on how much mass I was putting through the wormhole, I started thinking about how little mass was left on the wormhole. Now, I know they kinda sound ...

Wormhole spotting

Friday, March 8th, 2013

Our poppet's on-line, but where? 'Scanning, at home.' Great, let's do it, and get Fin home. A pretty bare home system is livened up by a single extra signature, which even though it's some gas is pretty exciting after having scummy visitors almost strip us clean of any resource. Otherwise ...

Crushing wormholes and customs offices

Thursday, March 7th, 2013

I would say the w-space constellation was rich earlier, but that wouldn't be entirely accurate. It was only one system out of four that offered any activity, although I enjoyed how the locals kept throwing ships at me, even if it was unintentional and I couldn't quite catch all of ...

Ambushing a Drake to keep it safe

Wednesday, March 6th, 2013

I follow the pod back to the tower. The pod whose Atron frigate I just destroyed. The pod who bounced back to the wormhole and out again. I have no idea why he did that, but if it means the pilots local to this class 3 w-space system will continue ...

That Drake is far away

Tuesday, March 5th, 2013

Now what do I do? I somehow managed to sneak up, whilst banging and crashing my combat scanning probes around the system, on a Bestower hauler in a gravimetric site, and podded the pilot back to a clone vat. The system, a class 3 w-space system a few hops from ...

Scouting behind a Buzzard

Sunday, March 3rd, 2013

'We have visitors.' At home? I update my directional scanner as my glorious leader welcomes me on-line, and see nothing. Then again, I try to hide as far as from everything as possible precisely to stay off d-scan when coming on-line. I launch probes and prepare to perform a blanket ...

Ignoring null-sec for only so long

Friday, March 1st, 2013

It's been a few days since I was last in space. There are a few items of business to take care of before I can strike fear in the depths of w-space. Well, maybe the shallows of w-space, if we've only got our static connection to a class 3 system. ...

Ending in class 2 w-space systems

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

I come back from evading some low-sec pirates to see Fin is half-way to collapsing our wormhole. Good job. She stays in the Widow black ops ship to finish the operation. I board an Orca industrial command ship, so that when I get isolated I'll be stuck in low-sec with ...

Dispersing gassers

Monday, February 25th, 2013

I'm all alone today. Or am I? I see bookmarks already made to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, and to a class 6 system that connects in to us. The bookmarks are only a couple of hours old too, so they look good. I still launch probes and scan, ...
