Stealth bomber, the clue is in the name

Monday, July 11th, 2011

Early scanning gets an early result, a wormhole found in our high-sec mission base system. The K162 from class 1 w-space is stable and healthy, and jumping through shows me drones but no wrecks and a couple of towers in the system. My directional scanner also has a Probe and ...

Continuing operations in a hostile environment

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Maybe I should have left when the wormhole was clear. I run across so many towers stuffed with empty ships that I suspected those I initially saw on my directional scanner were the same. As it turns out, once I find both the towers out here, most of the ships ...

Mimicking a Probe

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Despite resolving a wormhole, scanning in high-sec gets off to a disappointing start. The wormhole is a K162 from class 2 w-space and reaching the end of its natural lifetime, and even though I'm happy to take a look inside in my scanning Tengu strategic cruiser I find it's the ...

Bargaining with an ambusher

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Our neighbouring w-space system holds plenty of profit today. A full twenty-one anomalies wait to be harvested, along with whatever sites can be found amongst the other twelve signatures, the plentiful resources explained by this being what must be one of the few remaining unoccupied class 3 systems in w-space. ...

Sleepers after a Hulk

Monday, April 4th, 2011

It's just me and Fin again. Mick chased an Orca industrial command ship collapsing a wormhole, and the wormhole collapsed. He's isolated out in empire space until we can find a new entrance for him to use. Scanning is a daily task, though, so hopefully we can get him back ...

Picking on a Probe

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Our w-space neighbours don't seem too upset with us shooting them. In fact, they are almost pleased about the attention, noting that they are alone out here and could use some allies. We are the first to attack them, and they seem to appreciate that. As Fin negotiates with them ...

Bumbling about in w-space

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

There is only one Orca industrial command ship parked outside our tower, Fin must still be stuck in empire space. Poor glorious leader Fin, I must find a way home for her. I scan for wormholes, looking for today's static connection to a class 3 w-space system, whilst I also ...

An improbable chain

Monday, February 28th, 2011

I'm going to tidy up this system. At some point I'll warp around and activate the gravimetric and ladar sites, so that they'll disappear within a few days and leave me an easier task of exploratory scanning, but I ought to get Fin's agreement before I do. For now, I ...

One site at a time

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

Fully fed, I get back in my ship to glorious leader Fin reporting a sighting of a Probe name 'Lost in EVE' on her directional scanner in the C3. Maybe this means a K162 wormhole has opened in to the system, offering more opportunity for exploration and perhaps combat. I ...

Bombing a Bestower

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

I can't be lucky two days in a row, but let's see what's in our w-space constellation today anyway. Or I would, if our home system weren't getting swamped with Sleepers. This is supposed to be space, vast and empty, but we have so many ladar sites we almost have ...
