Ripping open a Reaper

Wednesday, March 20th, 2013

Haii Aii, are you still in empire space? 'Nope. I've mined 6k units of arkonor from a gravimetric site in the home system.' That's pretty impressive. 'And sucked up half of the oldest gas.' The man's a machine. As Aii does what Aii does best, I does what I does ...

Early customs collection

Monday, March 18th, 2013

I really want to actually shoot someone today, preferably with an explosion at the end. I don't care whose by this point. To this end, I'm up early to hopefully catch a bleary-eyed planet gooer going on his rounds. An unexpected signature in the home system gets me off to ...

Ghost ships

Sunday, March 17th, 2013

Aii's on-line, but doesn't look to be home. That wouldn't surprise me, as he was in empire space until late last night, and seeing the bookmarks not updated so far today pretty much confirms his status as locked out. I'd best scan to find him a way back. An unexpected ...

Sabre rattling

Saturday, March 16th, 2013

I'm relatively early to w-space this evening, but my glorious leader is earlier. Fin's gone from home and is in a class 2 system, connecting to our own, leaving our neighbouring class 3 system unexplored. Not for long. I warp across the home system and jump through our static wormhole, ...

Refining the art of collapsing a wormhole

Saturday, March 9th, 2013

Collapsing a wormhole is a curious art. I got the hang of it better when I reversed my calculations. Instead of relying on how much mass I was putting through the wormhole, I started thinking about how little mass was left on the wormhole. Now, I know they kinda sound ...

Wormhole spotting

Friday, March 8th, 2013

Our poppet's on-line, but where? 'Scanning, at home.' Great, let's do it, and get Fin home. A pretty bare home system is livened up by a single extra signature, which even though it's some gas is pretty exciting after having scummy visitors almost strip us clean of any resource. Otherwise ...

Rudely interrupting a rock survey

Monday, March 4th, 2013

No new losses. Today is going to be a good day. Scanning the home system shows that the Sleepers are even moving back in, which is good too, I suppose. And only the one wormhole means that we've had no capsuleer visitors. Let's see if I can be a visitor ...

Scouting behind a Buzzard

Sunday, March 3rd, 2013

'We have visitors.' At home? I update my directional scanner as my glorious leader welcomes me on-line, and see nothing. Then again, I try to hide as far as from everything as possible precisely to stay off d-scan when coming on-line. I launch probes and prepare to perform a blanket ...

Worst scout ever

Saturday, March 2nd, 2013

Is there anything happening now? All I could find in the w-space constellation earlier was Aii, sucking up gas in the home system. I'm pretty sure I can't shoot him. Pretty sure. Aii's gone, though, and so has a ladar site. Coincidence? I'll ponder that question as I perform a ...

Ending in class 2 w-space systems

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

I come back from evading some low-sec pirates to see Fin is half-way to collapsing our wormhole. Good job. She stays in the Widow black ops ship to finish the operation. I board an Orca industrial command ship, so that when I get isolated I'll be stuck in low-sec with ...
