Escalating to an unlikely ambush

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

There seem to be enough early risers in w-space, so I'm up early too, hoping to catch one out. Here's one already, my glorious leader sucking on the gas cloud in the home system, a Schrödinger's Target. Fin's testing her maximised Venture frigate and has no problems with my exploring, ...

Being a good capsuleer

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013

My head's a bit woolly. I suspect I have a cold coming. Hopefully w-space will be kind to me, and give me a simple constellation to scan and map, just to keep me in practice. There's not much to practice on in the home system, but it is straightforward with ...

Patience pays in planet goo

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

Procrastination and caution has cost me a crack at a Venture. But I have more wormholes waiting, w-space systems yet to be explored. The two I've found in this class 2 system, itself connecting to our home system, include the obvious exit to high-sec empire space. I warp to the ...

Not listening to myself

Monday, April 15th, 2013

My aim is to shoot or be shot tonight. I'm almost getting desperate enough for an explosion that I don't care whose it is. Almost. And some new signatures in the home w-space system look promising, as no new sites have spawned and we have two new wormholes instead. A ...

Making ISK misses gooing

Saturday, April 13th, 2013

I'm still looking for other pilots. Hey, there's one. Hi Fin. 'Just scanned the wormhole, did not open it yet. Updated the bookmarks.' Nifty. ...is it just the static wormhole at home? 'Yes, ma'am.' Do we want iskies? 'We probably should.' Yeah. We have enough anomalies in the home w-space ...

More wormholes than ships

Friday, April 12th, 2013

I have a bookmark to delete. I should have done it earlier, noting that the wormhole is no longer present, but narrowly jumping back through it as the Thanatos carrier crashed the connection distracted me a little. I'm feeling more relaxed now, so I update the bookmark, and I update ...

Seeing the signs

Thursday, April 11th, 2013

I'm giving it another go at getting up early to catch an unsuspecting gooer. All looks clear at home, but that is a reaction to my directional scanner and hardly representative of what may be out there. Indeed, launching probes and scanning, a necessary action to resolve our static connection ...

The only wormhole in the sector

Wednesday, April 10th, 2013

I'm up and about early again, hoping to sneak in to another capsuleer's system to catch them unawares. Planet gooing or salvaging Sleepers—or even actively engaging Sleepers—I don't really mind, as long as it's an activity I can interrupt with explosions, preferably theirs. A new signature in the home system ...

Empty ships and dying wormholes

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013

Someone's been scanning in our system. The bookmark folder looks current, which isn't much in itself, but the naming convention isn't ours and the home system is referred to by our names. If I didn't know any better, I'd say our class 5 sister w-space system connects to us today. ...

Getting the timing just right

Monday, April 8th, 2013

Hi Fin. 'The C2 may still be open.' Okay, great. I'll work out what that means in a minute, as soon as I've got my bearings. Ah, my glorious leader scanned earlier, resolving a K162 from class 2 w-space which may still be around some hours later. I'll check its ...
