Relocation

Hey everyone,

I’m changing the blog’s host to www.intotheunknown.mygamescribe.com

Thanks for reading,

Exploration and First Blood.

So, after recently acquiring my new Covops ship, I decided to head for 0.5sec space in search of lucrative exploration sites. Launching 4 probes, I discovered a bundle of different sites, picking the closest one to start scanning down first. It was much faster than I was used to, which I thought was great, seeing as I was able to see a difference. It was a combat site, so I bookmarked it, docked up and switched into the ‘Going Merry’, my Retribution-class Assault Frigate.

Undocking and warping quickly to the site, I discovered a drone hive. Slightly disappointed at how subpar the loot and salvage was going to be, along with no bounties, I proceeded to do my duty as a Pod Pilot and destroy the hive, and that’s when things started to get interesting. Looking around a bit I thought it was strange they’d picked such a barren, resource deficient place to build a hive, thats when I noticed a few transports. They must have brought the hive’s materials here from somewhere else…as if to agree with me, my communications sensors begin picking up readings from the remaining drones, beep and clicks. Tracing the signal, I am able to pick out where they’re relaying the signal to.

Thinking this could get interesting, and may well be more dangerous to the local systems than I just though, I destroy the remaining drones and the central supports of the hive, leaving it to collapse in on itself. Perhaps I could come back later to salvage the place, but for now I relayed our new destination to Aura.

Alkabsi.

Cloaking up…

Hey,

Sorry it has been so long since I wrote up, space has been kind of quiet for a  since I left the uni. The war with Seppuku Warriors and the rest is finally over and although the uni took heavy loses in the form a POS and over a billion ISK’s worth of damages. However after a short war with ‘The Adventures of the Gummi Bears [AOGB]‘ they are currently enjoying a time of peace.

My New Anathema - Scorch

In other news I’ve finally finished a couple of weeks of arduous training to fly a Covert Ops ship. My new Anathema, christened ‘Scorch’ will soon be flying around unseen in a system near you, so watch out for me even though you’ll never see me there. I have to say, it’s a great ship, absolutely perfect for exploration, giving a +10% bonus to Probe Strength which really helps and I can even get some sites with the probes scanning at 1au.

As for the corp situation (Atsuma is currently lacking one), I’m really considering forming my own at the moment, although I have to consider it quite carefully. For a start if I wanted the corp to have a POS, I had better wait until I have high enough standings and enough Capital for the tower by myself, before I even found the corp. Secondly I would much prefer to have a decent sized member base before I form the corp, preferably 10+ active members who I can trust, probably former uni friends and allies. Finally I’d have to start thinking about any corp objectives I’d want to aim for. At the moment I really want to get into some good small gang PvP, so getting a good group of people interested in that and bringing them all together would work very nicely I think. If anyone is interested in joining me or would like some info, please feel free to leave me a comment or pop ‘Atsuma Yishami’ an Evemail.

I also wouldn’t be closed to simply joining a corp, provided it had a reasonable sized group of players all interested in PvP and all pretty active around the time I’m online, we’ll see. There are so many small corps out there that it’d be difficult to choose one!

Sorry for such a delay between posts, but I reckon the Covops is really gonna give me a lot of content to write about in the future.

See you in space, even if you can’t see me!

Atsuma
