Early scanning sees me chasing the static wormhole around our system. Or, at least, its signature. I'm used to having the occasional cosmic signature be elusive but it is a new experience to need several scans to resolve the wormhole from a probabilistic ring to a single point ...

The home system scan is not clear. Before I leave our tower to warp to or scan for the static wormhole I check the directional scanner for extra entities. My check is made easier by everything either being in range, by virtue of my being at the tower, ...

It's all quiet, I go out scanning alone. My exploration to find activity starts slowly when jumping through the static connection fails owing to the exit wormhole stabilising, a sure indication that no one is in the system on the other side. I have visited this C4 system ...

The interlopers are gone, our system is quiet. Our neighbouring class 4 w-space system has no new wormholes connecting in to it, the occupied class 2 along from that shows no activity, and neither does the empty C1 that ends the chain. We are nicely isolated from threats ...

Fin quips that the spare Guardian brought in to w-space means there will be less of a delay when one pops. Tish and pish, we'll be fine. If anything, bringing in a spare almost guarantees that we'll never need it, taunting us in to thinking buying it was ...

Several times now I have been volunteered for salvaging duty in w-space, looting and clearing up the wrecks from the sites of specific Sleeper interest we visit. I could try to claim that my focussed skill training has made me best suited to salvaging, but being volunteered more suggests ...

The Crane makes quick work of getting me back to my mission base. I jump pod in to A Matter of Brevity, one of my Drakes. When I catch up with the my two corporation colleagues it looks like we are running level four missions, judging by the ...

I finally get my first rigs fitted to a ship. I have been aware of their benefits for quite a while, just as I have been aware of their multi-million ISK costs. As much as I would like a significant boost to my shield recharge time on my ...

I jumped back in to a pod to blow up more spaceships in EVE Online. I knew I wanted to and that I would have a good time, but another factor that became apparent after a little more thought influenced my decision. Having joined a corporation in a ...

My level three agent in EVE Online has another mission for me, tantalisingly named 'Guristas Extravaganza'. It sounds more like a codename for a lavish party held for some guests of honour, instead of brutally destroying the ships of an opposing faction. Thankfully, it turned out to be ...
