I'm hit with a barrage of information as I return to our tower. A wormhole from a class 2 w-space system has connected in to our class 4 home. A Drake battlecruiser is on the K162 of that wormhole. A Harbinger battlecruiser is on the other side of the wormhole, ...

We could use some fuel and fittings. We tend to run out of the first quite regularly, almost on a schedule, and shortage of the second only let themselves be known right before we want to use them. It's difficult keeping a fully stocked hangar of modules for all eventualities ...

Fin's out and about, exploring w-space and destabilising wormholes. An return Orca passage hauling ore out to empire space and bringing fuel back in takes its toll on our static connection, the industrial command ship massive enough to make a dent by itself. And with a fleet now active in ...

A new day brings new wormholes to find, hopefully without the raucous neighbours this time. Or maybe we will have unruly company, as the first wormhole I resolve in our home system is a K162 coming from class 5 w-space. Thankfully, though, the wormhole is critically unstable, already having had ...

The rocks are dead. The mining sites that I activated a few days back have despawned, leaving nothing but empty space where they once were. That's nineteen bookmarks I can remove from my folder, and nineteen fewer pins in the system map to confuse my finding our static wormhole each ...

'Anything out and about?', asks Fin. Where do I start? Two ships shooting Sleepers turn out to be tourists from low-sec, running anomalies under the noses of active occupants of our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, who run because they either saw my stealth bomber enter the system or a ...

We're shooting a tower again. And again it is the one in our home system, off-line but resolutely withstanding the harshness of space without an active force field. We made an earlier attempt taking down the tower, but lacked the firepower necessary to blast down the shields augmented by the ...

It's time to hunt. I resolve our static wormhole only to find it to be curiously a gravimetric mining site. A second new signature turns out to be a ladar gas harvesting site, further hampering my exploration beyond our home w-space system. But the third new signature is our static ...

Didn't I just refuel this tower? Okay, maybe it was a while back, but levels are dropping enough to catch my attention. There is enough fuel for a couple of weeks of continued operation, but it's best to think about getting more now rather than with only a few days ...

I start scanning the home system and realise it is a good day to take a proper look around. I am by myself, the afternoon is relatively early, and plenty of sites are missing. I could do with removing the defunct bookmarks to get a clearer picture of the system ...
