There's a Hulk visible on my directional scanner. I'd be more excited about seeing the exhumer if I weren't in the home system, and the Hulk didn't bear such a familiar name. Quite why the ship is in space is more of a mystery, as I am the only one ...

I'm three rock sites in to scanning the six signatures when a Drake warps in to the local tower. I hope the pilot of the battlecruiser wasn't watching his directional scanner when coming on-line. Maybe he wasn't, as moments after decelerating in the tower the Drake warps directly upwards, stopping ...

What's in our empty system? How about my glorious leader? Nope, she's in our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, which is occupied but empty and waits to be scanned. I can help with scanning, so head that way, but halt on the wormhole. 'Hold on, a Tengu has just popped ...

Scanning changed in EVE Online: Odyssey, and not just the mechanics of moving probes around. The discovery scanner now shows every capsuleer entering a system every anomaly and signature whether they want to see them or not, as well as around which celestial object the signature can be found. I ...

'Fleet me.' This had better not be a trap. Of course, it's my glorious leader asking for the fleet, but maybe she's been turned and is giving me up to a group of disgruntled planet-gooing industrialists in battle Badgers. Not that living in w-space has heightened my paranoia at all, ...

Aii's somewhere. I can sense his presence. I can also see the bookmarks leading from home, through the neighbouring class 3 w-space system, and out to low-sec. And that's it, apparently. 'Nothing interesting', says Aii. Shall we kill the wormhole? 'Okay.' So Aii comes home and we throw some massive ...

The locals have been pacified by my offering of autocannon rounds. It is safe to find passage through their system. I already know there are no anomalies, as the only one that was here is now gone, after my successfully ambushing their salvager in it, and so a blanket scan ...

There's nothing interesting in the home system. Well, except for our tower. And a new anomaly, perhaps. And me. Otherwise, nothing. Next door, though, in the class 3 w-space system through our static wormhole, I see a Nighthawk command ship, Noctis salvager, and Sleeper wrecks. Now that's interesting. A tower ...

I have limited time this evening. Open every wormhole! An extra signature at home gives me no such luck as an easy route to activity, as it is just a new pocket of gas. That should please Aii, though, although maybe not as much as the Navy Megathron kill we ...

It's kinda late by now, but I think I can afford to poke my prow through our static wormhole, just in case a soft target happens to present itself. And although a Navy Megathron and Navy Dominix are hardly soft, that they actually appear to be doing something catches my ...
