Missing ships is understandable, missing a tower is careless

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

I've made my decision. There's no point heading back through the wormhole that leads me to reds, not after I have taken a pot-shot at one of them and have concluded that they are waiting for me. That pretty much leaves me one direction to travel, although I suppose I ...

Tracking transports

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

I'm looking for some action. There's none at home, so I move my search next door, to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, which also looks empty. My directional scanner reports clear from the K162, and the only planet out of range doesn't hold a tower when I warp across ...

Miner on a plate

Tuesday, November 20th, 2012

Nothing but static. My zen approach to scanning. I resolve the wormhole and jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A Retriever mining barge pings my directional scanner, as do four Warrior II drones, but nothing else. I would say my evening is off to a lucky start, and I ...

Catching a cov-ops off-guard

Thursday, November 15th, 2012

All is quiet on the w-space front. Will the one unexpected signature lead anywhere? Yes, it resolves to a second wormhole, a K162 from class 5 w-space, but let me check through our static connection first. I should be prudent in finding an exit and route back to w-space should ...

Legions are like sharks

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

Hi Fin. Those bookmarks are yesterday's, right? 'Yes. I'm just getting started.' Okay, good. They're deleted. I launch my probes in to the home w-space system to join those of my glorious leader, and what I take to be a new gravimetric site actually resolves to be a second wormhole. ...

Stalking strategic cruisers

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012

Glorious leader Fin saw some industrial ships in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system earlier. I interrupted her stalking by bringing her to a class 5 system connected to our home in the hopes that my ambush of a planet-gooing hauler would provoke a response. It didn't, and we wasted ...

Hitting another hauler

Monday, November 12th, 2012

I wonder if my glorious leader has forgotten about my egregious bookmark deletions yesterday. 'Please don't strand me!' Maybe not. Then again, maybe she's just referring to the wormhole collapsing she's mid-way through. 'I put an Orca and Widow through. C3a is a null static system.' I'm sure we can ...

Stealing in to a stash

Friday, November 9th, 2012

I'm launching probes in a system I've already scanned. It's possible there is a new wormhole in the system, but I'm specifically looking for a pod that is somewhere unknown. If he's sitting on a new K162, all the better, as I will get a lock more quickly, even if ...

Catching up with a Catalyst

Thursday, November 8th, 2012

Let's see what I can find today. Not much, it seems. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system is unoccupied and inactive, with just the skeleton of a tower around a distant planet, and only has the exit to low-sec empire space to go with drifting rocks and gas. Low-sec today ...

Missing messing with miners

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012

I appear in the home w-space later than usual, but still with no one around. And although the anomalies are building up there remains just the static connection to resolve. Jumping through puts me in to a neighbouring class 3 system that looks clear according to my directional scanner, with ...
