Save the whale

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Fin's out in empire space in her Orca buying fuel. I'm sat on the wormhole in high-sec in my Legion, hoping to be a suitable deterrent to any ships interested in our connection. Mick's in his Arazu, reconnoitring the intermediate class 3 w-space system between high-sec and home. The C3 ...

Looking for targets, finding fuel

Monday, May 16th, 2011

There's no one home and the bookmarks in the can are stale. I'd best delete them and scan afresh. The wormhole sits nice and obvious amongst the two dozen signatures in our w-space system, and looks to be the only one present. I jump through to our neighbouring class 3 ...

Vaporising a Viator

Friday, April 8th, 2011

Maybe the Proteus pilot isn't that smart after all. We tried to lure the scanning strategic cruiser in to an ambush using a simple frigate as bait, but despite being able to swat our ship to one side the Proteus simply warped home. My first guess is that he suspected ...

Heron versus Proteus

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

We have an exit to high-sec empire space today. And by 'we' I mean 'Fin', because I haven't been out scanning in a while. It's been long enough that I'm thinking maybe the mechanics behind the whole interaction have been changed and I won't know what I'm doing the next... ...

Looking for something to shoot

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

Scanning is already done by the time I turn up. We not only have a decent chain of w-space to explore but there is an exit to empire space a mere seven hops to Jita, where both Fin and Mick decide to go shopping. I spin my ship for a ...

Stealing from the neighbours

Friday, March 25th, 2011

'There may be angry poppets next door', says Fin, as she has to dash off for a while. I launch my Manticore stealth bomber to take a look for myself, a bookmark pointing to our static wormhole waiting for me in our shared can. Jumping in to our neighbouring class ...

Avoiding action

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

Scary ships greet me when I jump in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. Thankfully not directly, but my directional scanner shows a Broadsword heavy interdictor, Muninn heavy assault ship, Kitsune electronic attack ship, and some other equally threatening ships. I am not sure what the others were only ...

Aiming quick and low

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

I have a new scanning routine. I know that I really need to switch to combat scanning probes when hunting, negating the need to warp to a mining site, and potentially getting spotted should I get decloaked on a rock or cloud, but I much prefer the simplicity of core ...

Coming from the other direction

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

I wonder if we've had visitors. As the home system is not stabilising I can't be the first pilot to be here today. But maybe glorious leader Fin was busy earlier harvesting gas. There is no sign of anyone currently in the system, so I launch probes and scan, looking ...

Navigating some null-sec

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

Scanning today could be interesting. After yesterday's contretemps Fin and I were a little concerned about the other corporation coming in to our home system and stealing all the profit from our indigenous Sleeper population. It is a minor concern, and one that prompts us to gather that profit for ...
