Meddling with a Magnate

Saturday, May 5th, 2012

It looked like the night was over, but it seems there are more benefits in connecting to our sister w-space system than merely stealing ammunition. My attempt to collapse our static wormhole has resulted in a critically destabilised connection, one which I don't quite fancy pushing a ship through again, ...

Greed is good when you're not caught

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

The static wormhole is dead! Long live the static wormhole! For sixteen hours, at least. But that still gives us plenty of time to explore what is hopefully a more interesting w-space constellation than the one we just isolated ourselves from. A first look in the replacement neighbouring system doesn't ...

Strategic cruising in class 2 w-space

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

Fin's been, scanned, and gone. That'll save me some time! Or it should, if w-space weren't so bally changeable. I launch probes to scan the home system and find two signatures unaccounted for by the current collection of corporate bookmarks. That's still better than resolving the lot, though, and it ...

Looking for a Loki

Friday, March 23rd, 2012

There are still problems affecting Fin and my attempts to stay in space. Fin's more than mine now, which isn't any solace, as Fin's activities are limited to her continuing bid to locate a stray jet-can in our home system. That in turn limits me to solo activities, until the ...

Covert Tengu versus covert Tengu, round two

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

I need to ditch yesterday's stolen loot. I suppose I could claim it wasn't stolen as such, as it all came from wrecks in our home system, but I don't think the fleet that actually shot the Sleepers, and lost a salvager, would see it that way. I didn't stop ...

Scanning signatures and watching ships

Monday, March 19th, 2012

Ah, back to normal. I hope. I'll need to replace the Legion strategic cruiser I lost, in order to get back to where I was, but with any luck all should be tickety-boo as far as flying in space. And getting a new ship pretty much depends on the kindness ...

Disco may not be dead, but it kills me

Wednesday, March 14th, 2012

I'm a glutton for punishment. Having suffered through repeated but unpredictable ship failures, requiring a systems restart each time, and even though there have been no released patches to correct this, I am still hopeful that I can make it through this evening without problem. I should be fine as ...

Spotted planning an ambush

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

It's a beautiful but mysterious process. I see scanning probes in the home system, leave for a few minutes, and return for them to have metamorphosed in to a rampaging fleet of destruction. It's nature's wonder, really. This time, the fleet consists of seven Tengu strategic cruisers and a single ...

Scanning my way out of trouble

Monday, February 27th, 2012

I'm boned. In looking for some rats I instead found a bunch of wormholes, and have chosen the wrong door. It all looked as benign as any other jump I made to start with. The system in low-sec empire space was empty apart from me, the wormhole was clear of ...

Missing a Magnate and mashing a Mammoth

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

I'm back, and curious to see if my earlier scouting will bag me any targets. I have a few systems to roam through, so ditch my scanning boat for a stealth bomber, aiming the Manticore towards our static wormhole once my system checks are completed. Core scanning probes are visible ...
