Scanning with a purpose

Saturday, September 29th, 2012

My glorious leader is collapsing our static wormhole as I come on-line, rubbing sleep from my eyes. 'The neighbouring system has a static connection to null-sec, and is full of towers and probes.' That sounds like a good reason to look for better opportunity through a different static wormhole, and ...

Coming back for a Mammoth

Thursday, September 20th, 2012

Aii needs gas, badly. And we may have some to placate my colleague's lust. There is a bookmark to a magnetometric site in the home w-space system, but four signatures means there must be more to see. As luck would have it, we get something for everyone. Aii has his ...

Yesterday's Legion

Tuesday, September 18th, 2012

A continued lack of new sites gives me an easy start to the evening, as I resolve our static wormhole and jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A tower with no ships graces my directional scanner, which is a change from an unoccupied system seven months ago but ...

Race for the prize

Monday, September 17th, 2012

Okay, I'm not going home. I can't scan my way through a null-sec system with an astonishing eleven wormholes without at least trying to exploit this opportunity. The class 5 w-space system I've ended up in may have a static connection to a C6, but the supposed threat of deadly ...

Hauling ore

Tuesday, September 11th, 2012

Hulks, mining drones, and jet-cans! Returning to w-space to see ships chomping on rocks would normally get my juices flowing and see me launching probes to hunt the exhumers. But this is the home system, and it seems that after Fin and Aii collapsed our static wormhole they decided they'd ...

Caught in an anomaly

Sunday, September 9th, 2012

Aii's here but not responding to my pings. I'll follow his bookmark breadcrumbs to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, which he has kindly left behind. The C3 looks clear from the wormhole, judging by my directional scanner, but an adjustment to show everything and not just occupation and threats ...

Ship-spotting and hauler-popping

Friday, September 7th, 2012

It seems our sister system had fun with our linking wormhole after I left yesterday. They baited a fleet that was trying to close the wormhole, the fleet not realising that owning both systems gave our pilots increased boldness and a second staging point, and successfully routed them with some ...

Isolate and return

Wednesday, September 5th, 2012

Back, and hopefully refreshed, I arrive with Aii having finished scanning our neighbouring system. The class 3 w-space system has an exit wormhole to low-sec empire space that's at the end of its life, and a couple of ladar sites. Will Aii gas it up? No, because the gas isn't ...

A little bit of everything

Monday, September 3rd, 2012

Aii's here. Ish. 'I'm in C3a', he says, probably because our rock field has vanished. Only the crappy rocks floated away, though. The high-value rocks were all chewed in to manageable chunks and stored in a new extra-large hangar we had to import specially to hold all the ore, such ...

Bumping in to blues

Sunday, September 2nd, 2012

I appear to be early. What can I do with myself? There's nothing to do in the home system but mine, which means there's nothing to do in the home system. I resolve our static connection and jump through. The neighbouring class 3 system looks much more interesting, not because ...
