Piracy pays

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

I'll take a look around our neighbourhood. I explored earlier and have bookmarks for all the wormholes I found, plus one I missed, and a few sites of interest. My first stop is the class 3 w-space system that is connecting in to us. There is a ...

You can't park there, sir

Monday, May 31st, 2010

The contents of the bookmarks can look interesting today. I copy them all in to my Buzzard's systems and head out to explore. Our home system's bookmarked static wormhole is present and stable, signalling the bookmarks are current, and I jump through to the class 4 system. ...

Know your enemy

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

It's difficult to prove a negative. Alone in our home system instead of going out to scan immediately I open our can where we share bookmarks. If someone has already mapped today's local neighbourhood there is no point in duplicating the effort. The problem is that the ...

Daring a destabilised wormhole

Friday, May 28th, 2010

All alone, I scan. I find our home system's static wormhole and warp to it, but I don't jump. Examining the wormhole shows it to be on the verge of collapse, because of the total mass of ships that has passed through it, but it isn't at the ...

Picking on a tower

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Another early start means I am scanning. Fin is already through our static connection and gives me its signature reference so that I can quickly follow behind. This early scanning may find some sleepy targets, or the sites we bookmark may become active later, when we can drop ...

Prepare to repel intruders

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

The static wormhole has imploded, there is a new one to find. It doesn't take long scanning to locate the position of the home system's wormhole, and two of us warp out of the tower to begin today's adventure. We jump in to a system we've visited before, ...

A miner's life is short

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Space doesn't exist. There may be the occasional molecule of gas floating around aimlessly in the void, but quite how nothing, the vast emptiness of vacuum, can be claimed to be something I'm not sure. Or the server is down. And luckily it is just a server ...

It is an ex-humer

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

There is even more to explore. All the excitement in the class 2 w-space system has meant I haven't gone through our static wormhole yet. But by the time I am in position to do so our scan man has gone to the edge of his previous exploration ...

Restraining a Raven

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

The corporation has been busy. My colleagues are out of our home system and shooting an off-line tower that they owners didn't feel was worth paying a ransom for. That's a shame, but I suppose as our fleet has already popped the hangars and stolen everything ejected there ...

A series of unfortunate events

Monday, May 17th, 2010

Destroying a salvager has annoyed a fleet. The Tengu strategic cruiser has found the wormhole connecting to our home system easily enough but it looks like he gets bored quickly and warps off. The four Drake battlecruisers leave the anomaly where we engaged the Cormorant destroyer and jump ...
