Quietly scanning and shooting Sleepers

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

Fin's found a wormhole as I arrive, but it's not our static connection. It's easy to assume that the first wormhole you resolve will be what you're expecting to find, especially in your own home system, but we're staring at the bloody pustule that is a K162 from deadly class ...

Not trusting a truce

Friday, November 11th, 2011

I'm back and keen to know what's happening. Glorious leader Fin is here, which is good, but she's unresponsive, which isn't as good. Whilst I wait to get a response I warp across to our home system's static wormhole and jump in to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system, looking ...

Shunting a shuttle

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Empty system, empty heart. I need to scoop the corpses of innocent miners in to my cargo hold in order to cheer me up. And as the home system is empty I'll need to scan my way out of here so I can find those miners. I launch probes to ...

A destabilising presence

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

There are two signatures in the home w-space system today, how thrilling! Sadly, it looks like a new site has spawned and there isn't a second wormhole to accompany the first. And it's curious to consider that I would expect any second wormhole to be a K162 connection opened by ...

Scanning, fuel, and Sleepers

Friday, October 7th, 2011

It's so much easier to know you're isolated when you only have to count up to one. The sole signature picked up on my scanning probes in our home w-space system must be the static wormhole, confirming I'm by myself again. It's lonely out in space, as a famous man ...

Second system just like the first

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

Alone in an empty system, it's time to look for wormholes. It's getting busy in the home system, a whopping eleven sites scattered around, cluttering up my display with bookmark pins. And another site has spawned! I resolve the new ladar site and set the gas to self-destruct, which I've ...

Me and my Widow

Monday, September 26th, 2011

I'm hoping that scanning early will catch some capsuleers off-guard. There must be pilots out there somewhere, as a whole bunch of the anomalies in our home w-space system have gone missing, I just need to find out where they are all hiding. The pilots are not in our neighbouring ...

Stealing Sleepers from the neighbours

Monday, September 19th, 2011

I'm back to find glorious leader Fin copying in to her nav-comp the twenty-three bookmarks I made earlier. That should keep her busy for half-an-hour, I may as well take my stealth bomber out for a roam. I'll probably be able to see the constellation remains quiet by the time ...

Either too quiet or too busy

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

My magnetic personality continues to work its charm, except for somehow reversing the polarity and repulsing instead of attracting other pilots. Alone in our empty home w-space system I scan for wormholes. I have six bookmarks to sites I know about, and there are seven signatures to be found in ...

Bringing more ships home

Saturday, September 10th, 2011

Why must there be scanning probes in the home system? I was coming home for an early night, after evading a counter-attack and scanning empty space, but now I feel compelled to plant myself on our K162 in an interceptor, to sit in wait for the scout. So that's what ...
