No one is around. I'll head out scanning in my Buzzard to the sounds of disco. The previously destabilised wormhole has disappeared, creating me a new one to find, which I manage easily enough. I jump through to the neighbouring system, punch the directional scanner, and warp ...

There is no one around and no bookmarks in the can, so I'll take myself out scanning to see what adventures I can have today. My first adventure is in UI frustration, unfortunately. For convenience, I tend to interact with the virtual spheres of the probes not only ...

A pilot pipes up in local. 'Friends?', is his terse question. It is more common to use the mask of the anonymous w-space local channel to hide, so it is curious why this fellow announces himself. It is not curious enough to stop me warping to our ...

An unoccupied class 5 w-space system beckons our fleet to pillage it of profit, but sadly we don't have enough time to dedicate to the challenge. Instead, we'll plunder the neighbouring class 4 system, flying with an Ishtar heavy assault ship fitted for salvaging to speed along our progress. ...

It seems like I am having to find a hundred ways of making scanning sound interesting. It must be interesting, otherwise I wouldn't be out in w-space spending many a quiet evening in a Buzzard trying to find wormholes. But I don't particularly look forwards to scanning, the ...

Scan man mines gas, and lets me know that the wormhole signature is RYE. Mmm, rye. I find the wormhole quickly enough and jump through to J113456. Again, so close to harmony. The system is unoccupied and quite big, my probes having to be split to ...

I wake up at the tower in w-space in a freshly cleaned system, shortly after the galaxy has been rebooted. I am ready to enjoy a relaxing time scanning. I even find a wormhole on the first signature I resolve! Of course, it helps that the two ...

I jump out of our home w-space system looking for the normal complete lack of targets, and find just that. Little is happening, just a colleague mining gas in a local ladar site. When Sleepers turn up to try to move on my mining colleague I get the ...

I am almost ready to switch corporations. I have dropped my roles from DGSE in preparation and I wake up to find myself bouncing off the shields of the new tower. I have a couple of hours before the twenty-four hour grace period elapses, after which I can ...

Corporation changes are afoot. The wormhole engineers are separating from DGSE, which means careful manoeuvring of assets out in w-space as the transition to our new corporation is made. The opportunity is also taken to change from running a racial tower to a faction tower, which may cost ...
