Failing to follow-through

Sunday, October 14th, 2012

The last signature in the class 3 w-space system resolves to be a radar site, just like the other two non-wormhole signatures. Those sites are pretty useless in w-space, which is why they tend to get ignored, but I don't really mind. I don't even mind that the two wormholes ...

Pausing to pop a planet gooer

Saturday, October 13th, 2012

All alone, so sad. I'll be scanning for adventure and opportunity, which shows me immediately that the few remaining anomalies we had have been dispersed. That sickens me. What kind of twisted mind would activate another system's sites simply out of spite? It's disgraceful. In other news, a new signature ...

Missing ships heading home

Wednesday, October 10th, 2012

'Let's kill the Nemesis.' Ah, good point. I was going to call it a night, but Aii reminds me of the stealth bomber sitting a hundred kilometres from the local tower in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, abandoned and apparently unwanted. Of course, my having just popped an Iteron ...

Diverted by an Iteron

Tuesday, October 9th, 2012

All looks clear at home, without even any colleagues around. Scanning picks up a second wormhole, though, and as interesting as a K162 from class 5 w-space could be this one is reaching the end of its natural lifetime. Without knowing how long the wormhole's been open I'm not going ...

Showing my ship to a shuttle

Sunday, October 7th, 2012

I've grabbed a fancy module from a frigate in high-sec and podded a careless cov-ops pilot in a C1, and have still only scratched the surface of the w-space constellation. As the locals of the class 1 system set about looking for my entrance I leave them behind to find ...

Catching a cruising cov-ops

Saturday, October 6th, 2012

I should probably get that replacement Falcon recon ship we need, but scanning calls to me. Our current constellation may seem superficially dull, with just a class 3 w-space system holding four connections to empire space, but those empire systems could hold their own connections to adventure. As much as ...

Crimewatch 2: ejection rejection

Friday, October 5th, 2012

A devblog detailing Crimewatch 2 has been released, and I applaud its intent in making clearer what actions cause which flags, and what each flag means. This is a necessary change. I don't entirely agree that there are players who possess an 'inability or refusal to understand the rules', in ...

Killing the help that kills the connection

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

I arrive to see the tell-tale sign of an unopened wormhole. A single bookmark points to our static connection, and without its paired K162 also bookmarked I feel safe in clustering my scanning probes around the location, where I indeed resolve the wormhole in the same place. Fin comes on-line ...

Scrapping on a C2 K162

Monday, October 1st, 2012

What's this Orca doing in our home system? I've toyed with a Manticore stealth bomber from class 2 w-space connecting in to our system, as well as its pal in a Proteus strategic cruiser, but the industrial command ship is a rather unexpected sight on my directional scanner. I was ...

Back and forth with a stealth bomber

Sunday, September 30th, 2012

Nothing and no one in the home system seems awfully quiet. I think I'll go and poke the neighbours. Ah, but which ones? It seems it's not quite so quiet as I first believed, as the rocks have drifted apart and that second signature is no longer a gravimetric site ...
