Piracy in a Zephyr

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

I will go back. The Scorpion has seen me leave, I have seen an unfinished anomaly on d-scan, and I have reloaded my stealth bomber. There is a slim chance I can cause more mayhem. The first step is to see if the Scorpion battleship has moved ...

Ventilating a Vexor

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

The previous static wormhole is dead, I must find the new one to begin today's adventure. Jumping through the static wormhole, once resolved, reveals only celestial bodies within range of the directional scanner, plus one giant secure can. I launch probes and prepare to scan, bookmarking the wormhole ...

Struggling to find the energy

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

The static wormhole is on the verge of collapse. It is not the work of others trying to keep us out this time, but a lack of anything to do provoking corporation members to try to collapse the wormhole themselves. The operation isn't quite as successful as it ...

Collapsing wormholes for profit

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

I'm early, but not that early. The previous static wormhole has gone and I delete all my bookmarks to start again. A colleague is out and scanning, helping me to ignore a handful of signatures quickly, and we track down our static wormhole easily enough. The neighbouring ...

Surprising a salvager

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

It's good to be motivated. Our scan man isn't able to return home from empire space using yesterday's route so I can go out to scan for a new route. My newly acquired Sister's scanning probes will come in handy, thanks to the Heron pilot who unwillingly donated ...

Finding an exit and more

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

It is late and the system is quiet. I am thinking of resting for the night, but our stranded pilot asks nicely of no one in particular if a little time could be spent scanning. I am rather addicted to piloting spaceships and agree to help. I find our ...

System cleared for anomalies

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

The threat of the Buzzard is gone. I think it's safe to say we can clear some sites of specific Sleeper interest without being interrupted by his corporation. The fleet of hunting ships is stored in a hangar and battleships and Guardians brought out instead. Warping and ...

Avoiding another ambush

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Stuck in empire space, I return to the reassuring information that our scan man is out on his regular reconnoitre of w-space. He is currently in the system neighbouring our own, which is unoccupied and holds a couple of dozen signatures, so scanning could take a while. With ...

Tackling Sleepers after miners

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

I'm late. My corporation colleagues have been shooting miners without me. A Hulk exhumer and Retriever mining barge are both destroyed, throwing their capsuleers' pods out in to the harshness of the vacuum, although the pods escape, as does an Orca industrial command ship. I may have ...

Taking care not to be caught unawares

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Our wallets need bolstering, so we head to today's neighbouring w-space system to plunder some Sleeper wrecks. Radar sites are a little too fiddly for tonight's schedule, so we'll stick to clearing basic anomalies. And as if to enforce our time limit for the evening our static wormhole ...
