Scanning and selling

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Blimey, eight signatures light up in the spheres of my scanning probes today. I'm still only expecting three after yesterday's double-wormhole blip, so I wonder how many visitors we have today. Considering the home w-space system was stabilising as I arrived, indicating it being empty for hours, I'm guessing not ...

Chasing battleships

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

The Sleepers are going at it like rabbits. There are two new signatures in the home system, doubling what was here yesterday. Actually, maybe the Sleepers are only indirectly responsible for the new signatures, as resolving them reveals two wormholes instead of new infestations. Capsuleers are to blame for my ...

A little too patient for once

Friday, October 14th, 2011

Sleepers are repopulating. Two more new signatures are in our home system and neither is a second wormhole. I activate some gas and bookmark a magnetometric site, before jumping through the static wormhole, characteristically the signature farthest from the planets, to appear in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A ...

Pushing deeper for the kill

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

I start the evening by deleting all the old bookmarks from yesterday. So many anomalies, so much unrealised profit, so sad. But a new day brings new opportunities, and I scan my way through the static wormhole to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, where a jet-can immediately catches my ...

A destabilising presence

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

There are two signatures in the home w-space system today, how thrilling! Sadly, it looks like a new site has spawned and there isn't a second wormhole to accompany the first. And it's curious to consider that I would expect any second wormhole to be a K162 connection opened by ...

Wrecks are a salvager's worst enemy

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Scan, resolve, jump. It's like any other day, except for the Nidhoggur carrier and its fighters appearing on my directional scanner in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. I occasionally see a carrier floating unpiloted in towers in lower-class w-space, somewhat overkill for the Sleeper infestations they must face, but ...

Sticking to ships I can shoot

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Scanning remains simple with just the single signature at home. I resolve the static wormhole and jump in to a class 3 w-space system I visited only a month earlier. The last time I was here I watched and thankfully ignored a Myrmidion battlecruiser successfully baiting a local Hurricane battlecruiser ...

Null-sec rats and Sleeper artefacts

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

There is still just the one signature at home, I'm liking this ease of scanning. I'm not enjoying quite so much being the only pilot out here, but I never really got the hang of the whole socialising scene. It puts me in a bit of a dilemma, not wanting ...

Slow for a scout

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

An empty home system sends me scuttling in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system to explore. An Anathema and Orca are visible on my directional scanner, along with a tower, and although my last visit was ten months ago and apparently too long for my notes to remain pertinent, ...

Scanning, fuel, and Sleepers

Friday, October 7th, 2011

It's so much easier to know you're isolated when you only have to count up to one. The sole signature picked up on my scanning probes in our home w-space system must be the static wormhole, confirming I'm by myself again. It's lonely out in space, as a famous man ...
