Using stargates to find wormholes

Tuesday, December 4th, 2012

Let's see what's changed with the constellation, such as it was. Our static connection to class 3 w-space led to three wormholes to and from high-sec empire space, and a K162 from class 5 w-space that was stressed to critical levels before I took a break. I would hope that ...

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 ...

Making a target of myself

Sunday, December 2nd, 2012

There's nothing much to do at home. Some anomalies, two signatures. Rocks and the static wormhole. I'll see if our neighbouring class 3 w-space system holds some entertainment. A Loki strategic cruiser, Hound stealth bomber, and Cheetah covert operations boat is an interesting mix of ships, and any of them ...

Fracturing a frigate

Friday, November 30th, 2012

Leaving the class 3 w-space system for high-sec takes me to a system in Metropolis, and puts me close to nothing. The Mammoth hauler that returned to C3a must have had a long trip, or paid over the odds for the silos he brought home. But that capsuleer's gone off-line, ...

Bump and nuzzle

Wednesday, November 28th, 2012

I'm kinda hoping the static connection in our neighbouring system is dead. It started wobbling earlier, putting it in the last stage of its life, but I don't know exactly when. The wormhole's collapse will kill the promising constellation I have already scanned, but at least it will offer a ...

Scanning in triplicate

Monday, November 26th, 2012

Okay, I realise my mathematical error from earlier. It's not that the fuel blocks would not fit in the Orca's corporate hangars, but that the industrial command ship must have had something hiding in one of its enclosures, reducing the amount of available space. I am embarrassed not to have ...

Null-sec Noctis

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

What's been happening, or what's happening now? Nothing. And nothing. But new signatures in the home w-space system could be exciting, particularly with an extra wormhole to go with our static connection, and a new ladar and magnetometric site each. The K162 comes from class 5 w-space and is stressed ...

Missing ships is understandable, missing a tower is careless

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

I've made my decision. There's no point heading back through the wormhole that leads me to reds, not after I have taken a pot-shot at one of them and have concluded that they are waiting for me. That pretty much leaves me one direction to travel, although I suppose I ...

Miner on a plate

Tuesday, November 20th, 2012

Nothing but static. My zen approach to scanning. I resolve the wormhole and jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A Retriever mining barge pings my directional scanner, as do four Warrior II drones, but nothing else. I would say my evening is off to a lucky start, and I ...

Catching a cov-ops off-guard

Thursday, November 15th, 2012

All is quiet on the w-space front. Will the one unexpected signature lead anywhere? Yes, it resolves to a second wormhole, a K162 from class 5 w-space, but let me check through our static connection first. I should be prudent in finding an exit and route back to w-space should ...
