Spooking ships

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

I come on-line just as Fin drops out of warp at our static wormhole. I jump in to the fleet and warp towards my glorious leader, as she jumps to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. Fin sees an Orca industrial command ship, a shuttle, and five towers on her ...

Dying leads to death

Tuesday, March 19th, 2013

It's been a few hours since the curious incident of the exploding planet gooer, so what's changed? For a start, our static wormhole is now in its end-of-life stage and has been destabilised to half-mass. That it is EOL can be explained by the wormhole no doubt having been opened ...

Wormhole spotting

Friday, March 8th, 2013

Our poppet's on-line, but where? 'Scanning, at home.' Great, let's do it, and get Fin home. A pretty bare home system is livened up by a single extra signature, which even though it's some gas is pretty exciting after having scummy visitors almost strip us clean of any resource. Otherwise ...

Dispersing gassers

Monday, February 25th, 2013

I'm all alone today. Or am I? I see bookmarks already made to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, and to a class 6 system that connects in to us. The bookmarks are only a couple of hours old too, so they look good. I still launch probes and scan, ...

Sucking at gas

Sunday, February 24th, 2013

'...getting all explodey in the Widow.' Um, what have I stumbled in to? 'Nothing to see here', says Fin, 'and don't look at our recent losses'. I'll try not to, although curiosity gets the better of me and I see the death of my black ops ship. Poor Neko Ninja, ...

Bait and baiter

Thursday, February 21st, 2013

The Noctis has been destroyed, the Legion has gone. I can slow down and explore our neighbouring class 3 w-space system properly. The two ships weren't local, as neither the salvager or strategic cruiser retreated to the tower visible on my directional scanner, so there is probably a second wormhole ...

Mugging a Megathron made by the navy

Monday, February 18th, 2013

(The newly resurrected Our EVE tells the first half of this tale, from the perspective of my glorious leader.) 'Two Ventures are next door.' Sounds good, tell me more. 'But they are sitting in the tower now.' Such a shame. I haven't bagged one of the new mining frigates yet. It ...

ORE tourist

Thursday, February 7th, 2013

Today's wormhole is sitting on top of where yesterday's was. I wish I'd known this before resolving the signature completely, but no time is really lost. Jumping to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system has a clear result from my directional scanner, and the two planets out of range don't ...

Refuelling the tower

Thursday, January 31st, 2013

I've been away for a few days. What's changed? Glorious leader Fin's brought some more fuel in, so she tells me in a mail, saying that 'we were nearly out'. That's odd, as I'm sure we had over two months' worth of bricks to keep us going, although I have ...
