Guardian in a structure

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

With nothing happening, it's time to go out scanning in my Buzzard again. A handy bookmark to our static wormhole is already in the can at the tower, which suggests our scanning man has been out already today, but I can take a look around anyway. The neighbouring ...

Return of the Hulk

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

I have the red mist. Blowing up Sleepers for fun and profit is good, but we were so close to popping an inattentive miner that I have to go back for a second look. It is late and the fleet has dispersed but I want to see if ...

The oblivious Hulk

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

The evening starts quietly in w-space, I need to make my own entertainment. I could continue to mine the bistot that I began to chip away at in a local gravimetric site, but I'm not really in the mood to mine by myself. There are bookmarks in the ...

Cloaked inside the shields

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Whilst people are out scanning, I keep myself amused by wondering if I have found a bug or a feature. Taking my Manticore stealth bomber out for a spin, in case there happened to be vulnerable miners to harry, I warp cloaked back in to the tower's shields. Taking care ...

Trying to find wormholes in w-space

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Initial training is complete, I can fly another new ship. I don't have the new ship yet, as not being able to fly it until now has made it difficult to bring one in to our home w-space system. Now seems like a good time to go shopping. ...

Chasing a Cheetah

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Twin Guardians have converted our fleet. Instead of each battleship or battlecruiser relying on its own tank, carrying additional armour plates or hardeners and perhaps supplemented by a small amount of remote repair, the logistics ship supply all of the repair capabilities of the fleet. Having no need ...

Abandoned arrays

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Having lost his Nemesis, which really isn't funny, my colleague goes out scanning again. On finding some abandoned hangars and arrays, he wonders what happens to the items and ships inside if the hangars were broken apart. Perhaps the contents spill out in to the vacuum of space, ...

Facing a Nemesis

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

I am out in w-space in my Manticore stealth bomber. A corporation colleague out scanning for wormholes has seen on his directional scanner poorly defended corporation's tower. He wants to test just how poor the defences are. He guides me through the couple of wormhole jumps, then ...

A more polite introduction to the neighbours

Friday, January 8th, 2010

The Imicus is out scanning for an exit, but this time I'm not piloting it. Instead, the owner asks if I'd like to tag along and maybe find something to bomb. I like his anti-social approach to w-space, and jump in my Manticore to shadow him. We ...

Introducing myself to w-space neighbours

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

There is a current path out of w-space, but the neighbours may be aggressive. The route back to New Eden leads through an occupied w-space system, and it is reported that the inhabitants are active. I could simply take my Crane through the system, as cloaked and agile ...
