I am about to leave our class 3 neighbouring w-space system when I spot combat probes on my directional scanner. I checked the exit to low-sec one last time, seeing it wobbly and dying but still alive, and was heading home, after attacking an Orca industrial command ship but chased ...

All seems quiet at home, I'll scan and see what's out there today. Judging from recent experience I'm guessing 'nothing', but my optimism carries me forwards. There is just the one wormhole to find at home, and I jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A Prorator transport ship ...

No one follows me in to the class 1 w-space system, and I leave w-space behind as I exit to high-sec empire space. My return to high-sec is brief, however, only long enough to warp across the system to explore through the outbound connection to class 2 w-space I scanned ...

Another strategic cruiser is lost by the corporation. Mick's Loki is attacked by another Loki and, as victim of the ambush, is on the back foot. At least he put up a good fight instead of helplessly ejecting when crippled by a tower with a bad attitude. But it also ...

There's a Buzzard at large in our w-space constellation. Mick got eyes on the covert operations boat, and the pilot looks carefree enough that we may be able to catch him. I just need to get there. The constellation is quite complex at the moment, expanded slightly by my scanning ...

There's some activity today, but sadly only in a w-space system far away. One of our colleagues has got himself isolated and is passing the time by ninjaing Sleeper loot from under the noses of a couple of dreadnoughts. At least, he is until Sleeper frigates get hold of him, ...

Curse my timing. In trying to moderate my time in space and be a more rounded capsuleer I have managed to miss out on colleagues popping not only a Loki strategic cruiser engaging Sleepers but also a Crane transport ship out collecting planet goo. Hopefully I haven't missed all the ...

A corporation fleet is in our neighbouring w-space system shooting Sleepers. I could join them, if I were feeling sociable, or I could scout for the safety of the fleet, which suits me better. My choice is helped in that a Buzzard has been detected by the fleet in the ...

Another day, another empty home system. I copy the bookmarks gracefully dropped in to our shared can and go out exploring. The two Badger haulers, Dominix battleship, two Drake battlecruisers, Ferox battlecruiser, Heron frigate, and Kitsune electronic attack ship all make our neighbouring class 3 w-space system look busy, but ...

There are lots of wormholes today, and directions to all of them are available in convenient bookmark form. I copy the bookmarks to the nav-comp of my Manticore stealth bomber and go out for a roam. 'But no one in space', Mick tells me as I leave. We'll see about ...
