Shooting through clouds

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

I return to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system in my Manticore stealth bomber, looking for trouble. Two pilots sit inside the shields of the tower in the system, one in an Iteron hauler, the other in a Megathron battleship, but the Megathron isn't there for long. Just as I ...

System orientation

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system is dull, particularly now the trapped pilot has left. Oh sure, she was blue to us and technically not a target, but I still had an ethical decision to make. The good news is that we now have a brand spanking new exit to ...

An improbable chain

Monday, February 28th, 2011

I'm going to tidy up this system. At some point I'll warp around and activate the gravimetric and ladar sites, so that they'll disappear within a few days and leave me an easier task of exploratory scanning, but I ought to get Fin's agreement before I do. For now, I ...

Iskies for nothing

Sunday, February 27th, 2011

We have visitors, big visitors. A Legion and two Tengu strategic cruisers, a Raven and two Maelstrom battleships, and a Basilisk logistics ship are all on my directional scanner in the home w-space system, and I'm fairly sure Fin and I aren't piloting them all, particularly as Fin isn't here. ...

Hollow threats

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Fin's been busy, scanning her way out of our class 4 w-space home, through our C3 neighbouring system, and out to the arse-crack of New Eden that is Aridia. Sadly, apart from a couple of covert operations boats, whose origins are unknown, there is little to see or do in ...

Pondering the options

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

'Anything out and about?', asks Fin. Where do I start? Two ships shooting Sleepers turn out to be tourists from low-sec, running anomalies under the noses of active occupants of our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, who run because they either saw my stealth bomber enter the system or a ...

Clearing up my confusion

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

I have no idea what's going on. I've popped a Noctis salvager in an anomaly, getting lucky when the Tengu strategic cruiser warps away to leave it alone, and inflicting just enough damage before a pair of battlecruisers can interrupt me. I know that much. It's the rest that is ...

Waiting for the salvager

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

I have no idea what's going on. The ships I was stalking have left the system, I know that much. I assume the Drake battlecruiser and Typhoon battleship saw my Manticore stealth bomber enter the class 3 w-space system, but maybe they didn't. And maybe it didn't even matter. A ...

Stalking battleship and battlecruiser

Monday, February 21st, 2011

Gah, more anomalies and mining sites! I should either do something about the proliferation of signatures in our home system or stop complaining about it. I have fifty bookmarked sites getting in the way of finding wormholes now, and I cannot be entirely sure which bookmarks are still relevant. Most ...

Hunting a hulking miner

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

We have about two weeks' worth of fuel left in the tower. That is plenty for now, but I should start thinking about bringing some more in, to avoid future panics. I set about scanning, looking for an exit, or targets. The wormhole is nice and obvious on the outskirts ...
