Not listening to myself

Monday, April 15th, 2013

My aim is to shoot or be shot tonight. I'm almost getting desperate enough for an explosion that I don't care whose it is. Almost. And some new signatures in the home w-space system look promising, as no new sites have spawned and we have two new wormholes instead. A ...

Seeing the signs

Thursday, April 11th, 2013

I'm giving it another go at getting up early to catch an unsuspecting gooer. All looks clear at home, but that is a reaction to my directional scanner and hardly representative of what may be out there. Indeed, launching probes and scanning, a necessary action to resolve our static connection ...

Getting the timing just right

Monday, April 8th, 2013

Hi Fin. 'The C2 may still be open.' Okay, great. I'll work out what that means in a minute, as soon as I've got my bearings. Ah, my glorious leader scanned earlier, resolving a K162 from class 2 w-space which may still be around some hours later. I'll check its ...

Running in to trouble

Friday, April 5th, 2013

Fed and watered, I'm curious about the current state of the w-space constellation. Glorious leader Fin's out and about, but mostly in Amarr buying and selling, so I'll be relying on my own reconnaissance and earlier scanning for the moment. Jumping to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system sees a ...

An exit becomes an entrance

Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013

It's been a few days, and in that time we've made some ISK and lost some ISK. Glorious leader Fin found a battlecruiser engaging Sleepers, but could only get in position in time to catch the pilot salvaging in a frigate. A fair bit of loot survived the exploding Heron, ...

Low trading

Saturday, March 30th, 2013

There have been no invasions for X days. Super! Aii tells me that we have our static wormhole and an inbound connection that's at the end of its life, but that he hasn't been further than that yet. That's cool, although the corporate bookmarks look like yesterday's. Then again, that's ...

Ratting's no substitute for adventure

Friday, March 29th, 2013

What am I going to find today? Bookmarks for both sides of our static wormhole, for a start, but let's hope it gets better than that. A quick scan of the home system sees no changes in the hour since the bookmarks were made, by colleague unknown, so I jump ...

Wombles of w-space

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013

Transmission Lost have collapsed their connection to our home system. Now what to do. 'We could mine the gas', suggests my glorious leader, seeing how we stopped TL from grabbing it. Thankfully, her added laughter indicates how likely she thinks I'd want to do that. Through our static wormhole it ...

Halting a half-hearted invasion

Sunday, March 24th, 2013

There's no rest for the wicked. I've come home, after an embarrassingly unsuccessful hunt of ships that can barely shoot back, and sent myself to a quiet corner of the system to go off-line, when a casual updating of my directional scanner shows me a tower. Not our tower, but ...

Spooking ships

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

I come on-line just as Fin drops out of warp at our static wormhole. I jump in to the fleet and warp towards my glorious leader, as she jumps to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. Fin sees an Orca industrial command ship, a shuttle, and five towers on her ...
