Bumping in to an acquaintance

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Our scan man is out scanning, assessing potential threats before we consider clearing some sites of specific Sleeper interest. Today's neighbouring system is unoccupied, which is a good start, but the next system along has a tower with a Moa and Buzzard inside its shields. We will need ...

Disturbing a Drake

Monday, April 26th, 2010

A potential target presents itself early. An ally is guided out of our system back to empire space by a colleague, and on the way out he spies a Helios on a wormhole. As usual, I jump in to my Onyx heavy interdictor, and Fin accompanies me in ...

Catching a Keres

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

I'm going to rewire my brain. It must have been over a year since I took advantage of neural remapping, when it first became available, and I hoped that I wasn't making any stupid choices at the time because of the restriction of only being able to remap your ...

Harrying a Hurricane

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

I go out for a roam. The earlier roam didn't find the Loki strategic cruiser, nor thankfully its friends, but I explored a few systems in the process. What I didn't do, apparently, was venture in to the connected class 1 w-space system, which is where I now ...

Stopping a Stabber

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

It's time to roam. I jump in my Manticore stealth bomber and prepare to scout the neighbouring w-space systems for targets. Even though, or maybe because, we pop and pod a Probe pilot earlier I am not expecting to find much, particularly as our connecting systems are unoccupied, ...

Poking a Probe

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

A new day, a new neighbourhood. I head out in my Buzzard to double-team our scanning effort with our scan man. As usual, finding the static wormhole in our home system is easy, as we are dry of other signatures. Our neighbouring system is rich, though, and ...

Hunting a Buzzard

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

A mining barge sometimes isn't enough, particularly a mining barge used as bait. With Sleeper destruction wrapped up for the evening I visit our connected w-space systems to look for any activity. Nothing in our neighbouring system's tower has changed, and four more systems across the wreck of ...

Officially converting to yarrbears

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

Five jumps out, our static wormhole collapses. The podded pilot we were hoping to get back in to w-space has made a dozen jumps for naught, the wormhole in high-sec space she was heading for now leading to a dead-end. Quite why our static wormhole chooses this time ...

Losing profit to w-space neighbours

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Intruders! There are capsuleers in our home w-space system shooting Sleepers, and it's not us. And as the external fleet has a Legion strategic cruiser, two Nighthawk command ships, two Basilisk logistic ships, and an expensive Tempest Fleet Issue battleship, these are not people we could scare away ...

Tackling Sleepers after miners

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

I'm late. My corporation colleagues have been shooting miners without me. A Hulk exhumer and Retriever mining barge are both destroyed, throwing their capsuleers' pods out in to the harshness of the vacuum, although the pods escape, as does an Orca industrial command ship. I may have ...
