Autopilot back to HQ

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Alone at the tower means more scanning. Maybe we should invent a technology for more reliable passageway through w-space, perhaps some kind of 'gate' that links two star systems together. Until this marvellous new invention becomes a reality, I borrow the Buzzard again to try to find a ...

A more polite introduction to the neighbours

Friday, January 8th, 2010

The Imicus is out scanning for an exit, but this time I'm not piloting it. Instead, the owner asks if I'd like to tag along and maybe find something to bomb. I like his anti-social approach to w-space, and jump in my Manticore to shadow him. We ...

Occupied w-space benefits scanning an exit

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Another day to scan. Ignoring the anomalies in our home system reveals the latest wormhole quickly enough, and I jump through in my borrowed Imicus. A quick check of the directional-scanner is always prudent when entering a new system, although I'm not quite sure if I should do ...

Running from an Anathema

Monday, January 4th, 2010

It's another day of scanning an exit for me. The new wormhole in our home system is found quickly enough, and it leads to an expansive w-space system occupied by capsuleers. There are some scary ships sitting around somewhere, but I shan't worry about them just yet, I ...

A collapsed wormhole leaves nothing behind

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

It's quiet in w-space. I am by myself at the tower, which leaves few options. I would like to get back to New Eden to refresh my research jobs, perhaps check on my sell orders, and redeem my Zephyr. It seems somewhat perverse to have to exit ...

Introducing myself to w-space neighbours

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

There is a current path out of w-space, but the neighbours may be aggressive. The route back to New Eden leads through an occupied w-space system, and it is reported that the inhabitants are active. I could simply take my Crane through the system, as cloaked and agile ...

Manticore test flight in w-space

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

I have my new toy, a Manticore stealth bomber. Although my skill training coincidentally lets me pilot a stealth bomber, I never really thought I'd buy or fly one, as it is a ship designed and built purely for PvP combat. My PvP skills are lacking, in ...

Collapsing a static wormhole only creates another

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I have an idea. I need to go out of w-space to New Eden to make it happen, so it's good fortune that I was last refreshing my industrial research at the corporation's high-sec tower. However, the current entrance to w-space is reportedly approaching the end of its ...

Testing tower defences

Monday, December 21st, 2009

An exit wormhole collapses behind our engineers. They have ventured back to New Eden to get fuel for our tower. It's not a problem, our scanner man jumps in to his Cheetah covert operations boat to find a new wormhole through which the refuellers can return. It ...

Going deeper in to w-space

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

The man with the scanner finds an opportunity. A wormhole leads to a class 4 w-space system that itself holds a static wormhole to another class 4 system. Having access to a wormhole that leads to an arbitrary class 4 w-space system is a big improvement from our ...
