Twin Drakes from low-sec

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

With the threat of the harmless gas miner out of the way I can get back to scanning and exploration. Finding a wormhole in the neighbouring class 3 w-space system should be easy, as I got close to resolving one when scanning the ladar site holding the Ferox. I still ...

Mining in a Manticore

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

The home system is empty, w-space is mine to do as I please. As glorious leader Fin bought me the gas mining skill training book, and it took less than a day to get to level IV, I suppose I'd better collect some gas. Or I could scan and explore the ...

Slight return

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

I start scanning early, hoping to resolve suitable sites for later ambushes. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system is somewhat of an oddity today, though, holding nine anomalies but only one other signature. I suppose the occupants—as there is a tower in the system, but no ships currently—are more keen ...

Spooking a salvager

Sunday, December 12th, 2010

I am left a single bookmark, pointing to our home w-space system's static wormhole. I shall take advantage of this act of generosity and explore what lies beyond. Jumping in to our neighbouring class 3 system shows promise, as there are sisters core scanning probes and some armour maintenance bots ...

Avoiding a Hurricane

Saturday, December 11th, 2010

Glorious leader Fin is out scanning, and I go to ride her coat-tails. Our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has the inevitable exit to low-sec empire space, but also present is a K162 wormhole. I divert to explore the other connected system, first noting the tower in the C3 with ...

Creeping up on a Cyclone

Friday, December 10th, 2010

Today we've had visitors. A second wormhole in our home system provides a link coming from a class 2 w-space system. I consider it more important to see who may be calling on us before preying in a different direction, and I point my Buzzard covert operations boat towards the ...

EVE mails from the edge

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Reprinted with permission To: Penny Ibramovic From: Fin Kename Subject: Everyone remember where we parked My last communication may have got you a little agitated about my losing a rather expensive ship to my own foolishness, but it turns out only to be partly true. In my hurry to find the Orca I wantonly ...

EVE mails from the edge

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Reprinted with permission To: Penny Ibramovic From: Fin Kename Subject: Wish you were here I found myself in a rather pleasant class 3 w-space system. It is medium-sized, with one of its planets about 56 AU from the star. It is a fortunate set of circumstances that this outer planet has no moons. Warping out ...

EVE mails from the edge

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Reprinted with permission To: Penny Ibramovic From: Fin Kename Subject: Going on walkabout I've decided to cut my strings from the home system and take time out to wander around in the backwoods of class 3 w-space. I am occasionally looking for an exit, but am not sure when I will want to get ...

More quiet profit from Sleepers

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

The home system is empty, and I am by myself. I refrain from performing a full scan of the system, restricting myself to look only for wormholes. The signatures won't change without interference, and without evidence of external visitors I expect the system to look similar from day to day. ...
