Scan, collapse, scan

Wednesday, February 6th, 2013

With no activity at home, and only the single signature in the system, I have but one direction to go. I resolve our static wormhole and jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, looking for trouble. A clear directional scanner doesn't offer much, but it does let me launch ...

Bagging some bubbles

Saturday, February 2nd, 2013

The wormhole should have died by now. That our static connection will collapse and sever the link to the rest of the scanned constellation could be seen as unfortunate. But w-space life is based on ephemeral connections, and without them the rich experience of new systems to explore and roam ...

Refuelling the tower

Thursday, January 31st, 2013

I've been away for a few days. What's changed? Glorious leader Fin's brought some more fuel in, so she tells me in a mail, saying that 'we were nearly out'. That's odd, as I'm sure we had over two months' worth of bricks to keep us going, although I have ...

Known space is boring space

Monday, January 28th, 2013

A more regular start to my day has me arriving at the usual time, to the usual sight. It's just me in the home system, as far as I can tell. Launching probes and scanning finds no intruders, blue or otherwise, and a couple of new signatures to resolve. A ...

Another recovery mission

Saturday, January 26th, 2013

I don't call her my glorious leader for nothing. Fin managed to get out of the class 6 w-space system and through two class 4 systems in to a class 3 system, resolving three null-sec connections before finally finding a static exit to high-sec empire space. All of that in ...

Helping in my special way

Friday, January 25th, 2013

'I'm in the C6 with an Orca.' That sounds just like my daring and glorious leader. But Fin being in a class 6 w-space system in an industrial command ship raises more questions than it answers, particularly as I didn't ask anything. 'I've been here a while. I jumped in, ...

Jumping to high-sec

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013

Three signatures are left to scan in the system. A blanket scan of our neighbouring class 3 w-space system revealed five signatures, our K162 is one of them, and the ladar site where I successfully ambushed a Brutix is another. But referring to my notes again shows that the system's ...

A hit and a miss

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013

A new signature in the home system today is just more Sleepers. Stupid drones. I'm going next door, through our static wormhole, to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. Updating my directional scanner after the jump shows me a tower, Orca industrial command ship, and Brutix battlecruiser, and although there ...

Find and forget

Sunday, January 20th, 2013

Three signatures. One gas, which I know about. One wormhole, static. One unknown. But is it 'unknown'? No, it's more gas, leaving me just our static wormhole to explore through. Or not, as the bastard's at the end of its life. I bet some blues came this way, opened our ...

Noodling through a network of w-space

Monday, January 14th, 2013

Still all quiet at home. So lonely. One extra signature to keep me warm. Maybe it leads to new friends. Maybe! It resolves to be a wormhole, a K162 from class 3 w-space. And jumping through the wormhole has a Badger light up my directional scanner. There's a tower visible ...
