Glorious leader Fin is floating in a ladar site, I'm going to scan my way out of our home w-space system. Or I could let her guide me to our static wormhole, as Fin is harvesting gas and rocks lazily, activating all the mining sites in the system. I saved ...

An empty home system lets me scan in peace. There is nothing special to find, only the sites I am expecting and a single wormhole, and I jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system to explore. Three Hornet drones visible on my directional scanner look interesting at first, except ...

It's been slim pickings of late, my roams only culminating in a couple of near misses. Maybe today will be luckier for me. I have to cope with a couple of stray signatures in the home system first, one of which is naturally a wormhole. A second wormhole in our ...

I am about to leave our class 3 neighbouring w-space system when I spot combat probes on my directional scanner. I checked the exit to low-sec one last time, seeing it wobbly and dying but still alive, and was heading home, after attacking an Orca industrial command ship but chased ...

All seems quiet at home, I'll scan and see what's out there today. Judging from recent experience I'm guessing 'nothing', but my optimism carries me forwards. There is just the one wormhole to find at home, and I jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A Prorator transport ship ...

We need ships. Make no mistake, the Tengu, like all strategic cruisers, is a versatile ship and can fulfil plenty of roles more than adequately. But it is a mistake to rely on a single ship when there are more specialised hulls available. If I had my stealth bomber available ...

There are two wormholes in the home system again today. One is the static connection to class 3 w-space, the other a K162 from a class 2 system. The C2 connection would be more enticing if it weren't reaching the end of its natural lifetime, but if I can scan ...

I'm not sure my pod goo is as pure as it ought to be. I think I've had some dodgy Quafe Zero—not that I'm convinced there is such a substance as good Quafe Zero—and all sorts of fluids are leaking out of me. As a result, tonight may be a ...

Another thief strikes our corporation, stealing an Orca industrial command ship and escaping through a now-collapsed wormhole. It's just not cricket. There's nothing much we can do about it now, although it prompts another discussion about how to partition assets better, given the rather coarse tools at our disposal in ...

Gas harvesting is almost complete, what excellent timing for my arrival. It seems like rather a long operation, having left my colleagues gathering gas last night, but I have to admire their dedication. As the last of the gas is sucked in to cargo holds, I scan our home system ...
