Probes on the directional scanner halts a corporation fleet's Sleeper engagement. The fleet changes from remote-repairing battleships to PvP ships and seeks the source of the scanning probes. A Rifter frigate in the neighbouring system is suggestive but is likely bait. Jumping through to the next system ...

Only being able to carry two spare bombs in a Manticore limits the operational utility of the stealth bomber. A bit of welding should help me carry more and be effective for longer.
It works like a dream, as long as I never need to manoeuvre.

The neighbourhood has been mapped. A scout has been through our local wormholes and w-space systems, creating appropriate bookmarks and noting the presence of other corporations. We have three systems leading us to low-sec empire space and our alliance is in the middle of an operation to bring ...

I feel like finding the w-space equivalent of a squirrel and punching it. My attempts to locate vulnerable salvagers only results in chasing my own tail, in-between far too many client crashes, and failing to recognise a juicy gas miner target has me kicking myself. But warping home ...

There are a bunch of bookmarks waiting for me, including one to a 'heavily inhabited' class 2 w-space system, as a colleague describes it. He wants to shoot some of the occupants' ships but none of the caspuleers are coming out to play, frustrating his efforts. Instead, he ...

I missed an ambush. Luckily, so did my colleagues, as it was aimed at them. A Tengu strategic cruiser, Onyx heavy interdictor, and Curse recon ship came close to catching some corporation members engaging Sleepers, but a close eye on the directional scanner and some agile warping got ...

There is a storm brewing. A space storm! An allied Onyx heavy interdictor sitting on our home system's static wormhole has just interdicted a Helios covert operations boat from the neighbouring class 4 w-space system, shooting it for good measure. The corporation in the C4 seems to ...

There's no one around, no bookmarks in the can, it looks like I'm going out to scan. I mistake some asteroids for a wormhole but cover up my error by never mentioning it to anyone and finding our system's static connection. Jumping to the class 4 w-space system ...

Rolling the hole is not quite controlled and our scout gets lost in space. He's in high-sec empire space but reports himself 'trapped' there, which is an interesting perspective on w-space life. The operation to collapse our wormhole may not have been completely smooth but our new w-space ...

I return from my break in the hopes of opening a new connection to high-sec and buying my replacement stealth bomber. Instead I learn that our static connection was collapsed as part of a corporation operation, the local systems deemed unsuitable for current purposes. At least I don't ...
