Curiosity is a killer

Monday, June 4th, 2012

Curiosity is a killer. I have mapped the w-space constellation to be our static wormhole connecting to a system with two dying wormholes, where the only adventure to be found is that of getting isolated, which doesn't appeal to me that much. But in the process of collapsing our wormhole ...

Getting lucky in finding wrecks

Saturday, June 2nd, 2012

Fin may be here in spirit, but not much looks to be happening. As I wait for my glorious leader to get back from the khazi I scan the home system, free from pesky mining sites for once, for our static wormhole and jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space ...

Tower apocalypse

Friday, June 1st, 2012

Fed and ready to frolic, I'm tempted to take a stealth bomber roaming through the w-space constellation. It's already been scanned and there has been activity seen in at least one direction, but it has been a few hours since I was last around and new wormholes may have opened. ...

Dropping in on day trippers

Thursday, May 31st, 2012

They might be on to me. I've not ambushed a planet goo-collecting hauler in quite a while, which makes me think I've got to shake my routine up a bit in order to surprise them again. So I am in space earlier than usual in the hopes of catching a ...

Destroying the destroyer

Thursday, May 24th, 2012

The hauler's gone one way, the combat ship the other, and the scouts have all gone home. I still don't think there's anything we can do in our local w-space constellation. At least, not without expecting a nasty surprise at some point. So, as is the case when I run ...

Cloaking devices work better when active

Monday, May 21st, 2012

We've made some iskies, now we can look to destroy some. Our static wormhole has been scanned and resolved but kept unvisited, so that we could rake in the profit from some local Sleepers, and with the profit made it's time to explore. Jumping in to our neighbouring class 3 ...

One step behind

Friday, May 18th, 2012

Let's see what's changed since yesterday. Nothing, that's what. The sole signature in the system sits on top of the bookmark I made of yesterday's unopened static wormhole, and although it's been known for subsequent wormholes to appear in the same place it's more likely in this case that the ...

Picking on a piddly Probe

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

Let me start again. I've already scanned our static wormhole, jumped to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, and spotted scanning probes whizzing around the system. A Cheetah covert operations boat blipping on my directional scanner caused me to jump home and plant an interceptor on the wormhole, which generally ...

Disposing of a Retriever

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

After yesterday's poor show, I'm keen to see if I can find another capsuleer I will actually engage today. Scanning is simple, with just me and the expected signatures, so I'm off to a flying start in resolving our static wormhole and jumping through. I could be pessimistic and say ...

Getting lucky with the loot

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

A new static wormhole leads to another boring-looking system. I renewed our static wormhole to isolate ourselves from an occupied but empty class 3 w-space system, where the only indication of activity happened when I was pushing the Orca through the wormhole to collapse it. Now I'm looking at my ...
