Successful scanning sends us a ship

Monday, September 24th, 2012

Fin's here, which is always a good sign. A lack of bookmarks may indicate she's currently gassing it up, but it turns out that she's just arrived and is launching scanning probes, just like me. That's just a coincidence, though, and we're probably not the same person. Yesterday's new pocket ...

Coming back for a Mammoth

Thursday, September 20th, 2012

Aii needs gas, badly. And we may have some to placate my colleague's lust. There is a bookmark to a magnetometric site in the home w-space system, but four signatures means there must be more to see. As luck would have it, we get something for everyone. Aii has his ...

Caught between reds and blues

Wednesday, September 19th, 2012

Aii's in our neighbouring system, scanning amongst 'lots of towers, four piloted ships'. That sounds good to me. I poke the home system to confirm there are no new connections, then head through our static wormhole to join my colleague. Four towers light up my directional scanner from the K162, ...

Yesterday's Legion

Tuesday, September 18th, 2012

A continued lack of new sites gives me an easy start to the evening, as I resolve our static wormhole and jump to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A tower with no ships graces my directional scanner, which is a change from an unoccupied system seven months ago but ...

Race for the prize

Monday, September 17th, 2012

Okay, I'm not going home. I can't scan my way through a null-sec system with an astonishing eleven wormholes without at least trying to exploit this opportunity. The class 5 w-space system I've ended up in may have a static connection to a C6, but the supposed threat of deadly ...

Turning it up to eleven

Sunday, September 16th, 2012

We've killed all our sites again. The home system is dry of signatures beyond anomalies and the static wormhole, giving me an easy route to exploration. Jumping to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has an off-line tower within directional scanner range of the K162, and a single planet out ...

Dead space

Saturday, September 15th, 2012

One new signature in the home system looks enticing to my scanning eyes. W-space has felt pretty quiet of late, and I'm really hoping that the extra signature is the mythical beast that is a second wormhole. A second scan sees that it's an 'unknown' type, which, unlike in stupid ...

Ore from an ice field

Friday, September 14th, 2012

Home looks pretty clear, and only the static wormhole stands out as an unresolved signature. It doesn't stay that way for long, letting me jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system to look for activity and opportunity. I'm hoping that if the C3 is quiet, which is likely, then ...

Stuck in high-sec

Thursday, September 13th, 2012

Aii's here and would like to mine. I'm cool with that, just as he's cool with my desire to explore, even though it means opening our static wormhole and exposing him to additional risk. That's just the way Aii rolls. With only stale bookmarks stored I launch probes to scan ...

Back shooting Sleepers

Wednesday, September 12th, 2012

I'm putting my detective hat on. The puppet's here and the corporate wallet is drained, so I am deducing that we have new Tengus to replace the two strategic cruisers we lost recently. 'I have ships for us.' Brilliant, Holmes! 'But the wormhole died as I jumped out of w-space', ...
