Awkward escalations

Friday, June 4th, 2010

All is quiet in w-space. There is no activity in the systems connecting to our own, and the miner we extorted for iskies hasn't come out to recover his losses yet. I am told that we really ought not to bother him after successfully ransoming his ship earlier, ...

A miner's life is short

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Space doesn't exist. There may be the occasional molecule of gas floating around aimlessly in the void, but quite how nothing, the vast emptiness of vacuum, can be claimed to be something I'm not sure. Or the server is down. And luckily it is just a server ...

In the communal ship array

Friday, April 16th, 2010

As others have done, please allow me to share with you the ships I have put in the communal hangar in w-space, and like to call my own. Drake—Non-sentient Ship The passive shield tanked battlecruiser has been my staple combat ship for longer than I can remember. As soon as I ...
