Buzzed by a Buzzard

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Collapsing the wormhole isn't going to plan. Fin's been throwing her Orca industrial command ship through it, and Mick's added a battleship or two. But it takes the Curse of Penny to destabilise the wormhole to a critical degree, shrinking to the point of collapse on my way out of ...

If at first you don't succeed, bring more ships

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

It looks like collapsing the wormhole attracted the attention of some capsuleers hoping to catch a juicy Orca prize. Thankfully Mick and I were around and in suitable enough ships to repel the attack and protect the industrial command ship, as well as Fin being prepared for such an assault ...

Action comes to us

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

We partake of some light Sleeper combat to start the evening. There are two class 2 w-space systems connecting in to our home C4, but one has allies and the other is inactive. Our neighbouring C3 is not particularly interesting either, but we may as well make some profit from ...

Sleeper magnet

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

The constellation has been scanned, bookmarks are in the can, and Fin's heading out to sell Sleeper loot. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has two exits to low-sec empire space, one the outbound static wormhole and another inbound K162, giving us little to explore today. The C3 is apparently ...

Sleepers follow a Heron

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

A scout scouts in today's connecting class 3 w-space system, seeing multiple ships on his directional scanner. The presence of combat, industrial, and a mining ship all seem to offer opportunity in their own ways, depending on what they are up to, but locating the tower finds the pilots to ...

Looking for action

Monday, April 11th, 2011

Fin's educating me on how to shoot Sleepers. We've collapsed our static wormhole, to remove the exit to null-sec k-space and look for better opportunities, and found another occupied but inactive class 3 w-space system. It's arguable whether we've found a better exit, though, even if it leads out to ...

Staying alive

Saturday, April 9th, 2011

Fin's just jumped next door, and she's thoughtfully left me a bookmark to the static wormhole in our can. I'll join her in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system in a moment, I have to check my mail first. There's a curious message from a pilot I don't recognise about ...

Vaporising a Viator

Friday, April 8th, 2011

Maybe the Proteus pilot isn't that smart after all. We tried to lure the scanning strategic cruiser in to an ambush using a simple frigate as bait, but despite being able to swat our ship to one side the Proteus simply warped home. My first guess is that he suspected ...

Heron versus Proteus

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

We have an exit to high-sec empire space today. And by 'we' I mean 'Fin', because I haven't been out scanning in a while. It's been long enough that I'm thinking maybe the mechanics behind the whole interaction have been changed and I won't know what I'm doing the next... ...

Facing up to the neighbours

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Fin's next door, looking for an exit. Mick's still in empire space, twiddling his thumbs. And I'm scanning for our static wormhole, Fin guiding me to the correct signature to make it quick. I jump in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system as activity begins, a Dominix battleship warping ...
