Asymmetric action

Friday, June 15th, 2012

My glorious leader tells me we have two wormholes again today. Our static connection to class 3 w-space is joined by a K162 from class 5 w-space. As Fin found them, Fin gets first pick, and she chooses to head upstream to C5a. Me, I float downstream like a dead ...

Provoked inactivity

Monday, June 11th, 2012

I'm ready to take a poke around tonight's w-space constellation, with only one caveat. I need to reveal it first. Two extra signatures at home may indicate an extended constellation, and they do, kind of. A K162 from class 2 w-space connects in to our home system, but the wormhole ...

Backwards scanning

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

I'm out for an early reconnaissance of w-space, and maybe even a trip to empire space. But let's not get carried away too soon. Scanning the home system has some new gas drift in, but nothing else to find apart from the static wormhole. I often wonder if the signatures ...

Getting lucky in finding wrecks

Saturday, June 2nd, 2012

Fin may be here in spirit, but not much looks to be happening. As I wait for my glorious leader to get back from the khazi I scan the home system, free from pesky mining sites for once, for our static wormhole and jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space ...

Looking the wrong way

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

Will anything happen today? Fin's here, for a start, and our shared bookmarks folder looks to hold the locations of K162s from both class 2 and class 5 w-space. I get a sitrep from my glorious leader, who is now in the C2. 'The C5 has a Mastodon putting up ...

Chasing transports

Saturday, May 26th, 2012

A bookmark to an unvisited wormhole welcomes my appearance, and rocks, more rocks, and gas do not. But a new signature in the home system may compensate for the missing sites. Two new signatures, in fact, as the bookmarked wormhole has apparently been visited and died of old age already. ...

Destroying the destroyer

Thursday, May 24th, 2012

The hauler's gone one way, the combat ship the other, and the scouts have all gone home. I still don't think there's anything we can do in our local w-space constellation. At least, not without expecting a nasty surprise at some point. So, as is the case when I run ...

Cloaking devices work better when active

Monday, May 21st, 2012

We've made some iskies, now we can look to destroy some. Our static wormhole has been scanned and resolved but kept unvisited, so that we could rake in the profit from some local Sleepers, and with the profit made it's time to explore. Jumping in to our neighbouring class 3 ...

Collapsing with probes

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

The gas has gone, bringing sweet relief to me. Still, it's made way for some stones the size of small European countries, which is probably going to cause a little more discomfort than a couple of stinky gas clouds, but they should pass through my system in a few days ...

Scouting around stealth bombers

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Fin thinks we may have a guest. She spotted a covert operations boat briefly on her directional scanner in the home w-space system, after a K162 was collapsed. It's possible the scout didn't get home in time and already left back through the new static wormhole, but we can't discount ...
