Another Noctis for our hangar

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

The Sleepers are at it like bunnies. Scanning the home system finds two new frontier barracks anomalies the day after we clear three of them. It would be a iskmine if we could keep up with the pace. I also find an additional gravimetric and ladar site, which makes it ...

Starting to get settled

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

One day in and we've already been attacked. Two defences have been incapacitated and the tower itself has been tested, although only the shields were damaged and the system's pulsar phenomenon makes them stronger. Setting up a few external defences without guns first in place turns out to be a ...

In space, no one can hear me sulk

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Another day, another chance to explore w-space. I copy the available bookmarks in our shared can and warp to the static wormhole in my Buzzard covert operations boat. Jumping in to the connecting class 5 w-space system lets me revisit a system I was in only a month ago and ...

Baffling some battleships

Sunday, October 31st, 2010

Preparation for moving between w-space systems continues. We have a scanned exit to low-sec empire space available through a class 2 system, but the second static wormole in the C2 hasn't yet been found. It will head further in to w-space but that connection may present a better exit, even ...

Stumbling in to a scout

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

Another day, another wormhole collapses like a punctured lung. I scan for the fresh static wormhole that will let me venture beyond our home system to explore the new w-space constellation. The class 4 system connecting to our own is unoccupied, as it was four months ago, and as a ...

Bagging another barge

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

I'm sat cloaked in my Buzzard monitoring our static wormhole as battleships and an Orca jump through. The wormhole is being collapsed intentionally by a corporation fleet, hoping to find better opportunities through a different gateway. I have already launched probes from my covert operations boat and made a pre-emptive ...

Mass-representative battleship

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

All the wormholes are nearly dead, but we only need to kill one of them. Collapsing our static wormhole ahead of time will isolate us from the scanned w-space constellation and offer a new one to explore. I grab one of the Raven battleships available to add its ...

Temporarily trapping a Tengu

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

Some systems seem simply neglected. Jumping in to our neighbouring class 4 w-space system for today brings me to a system I last visited six weeks ago. Not only was it unoccupied then and remains unoccupied now but there are dozens of signatures scattered around the system. ...

Disparate roaming

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

A corporation fleet is hunting, in the same way that a spider hunts. I turn up to learn that a Buzzard covert operations boat is scanning in our neighbouring class 4 w-space system but doing so from within the safety of his tower, so the small fleet is lurking ...

Heron hounding

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

I'm going out to roam, and I'm not alone. Another scout is ahead of me in his Proteus strategic cruiser, looking for targets. The three class 4 w-space systems linked as a chain to our home system are quiet, the C5 further along only showing a glimmer of ...
