Our constellation of wormhole systems is far simpler today than it was yesterday<\/a>, for which I’m grateful. A short bit of scanning reveals we are connected to a class 2 system with connections to nullsec and class 5 wormhole space, both of which I leave well alone. The system itself has been abandoned by its occupants (the skeleton of a tower and its defenses still floating around a distant moon) and there are no other connections inbound into the system except ours, so it’s also going to be much quieter here than yesterday, which will provide a nice break for my adrenal glands.<\/p>\n

Gor and Wil and I hit a few sites, and I get to show off the fancy little trick for destroying Perimeter Hangars in one-third the time. Gor is a fan, Wil a bit less so, since being up close and personal hurts a bit more when the Sleepers select you as primary — we need to get Wil into a tougher ship than the Harbinger he’s flying.<\/p>\n

Aside from that, the combat goes smoothly, and only the first site picked on Wil too much. Within a few minutes we have a nice pile of wrecks to salvage, which Gor and his Noctis set into with gusto.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
We loot the loot, as one does.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the other pilots handle that, and with our evening coming to a close, I decide to pop my head out into Nullsec just to see where we are, and find the exit comes out somewhere in the Gurista Pirate-controlled areas of the Venal region. Knowing that, I ask Gor to come back over to the wormhole (after he’s safely parked the Noctis) and check the exit as well — we spent some time in Venal a few months ago, working on the Gurista’s epic story arc, and I’m curious how close we are to the mission hub. Gor can tell more easily than I can, because he left one of his ship’s parked there, and it looks like we’re only a handful of jumps away.<\/p>\n

Will we do anything with that information? No; it’s just kinda neat.<\/p>\n

\n

As I mentioned, there is an alliance-wide op tomorrow, and though we are only trial members, we’ve been invited to the shananigans.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided to participate, and wrap up the evening by slipping Ty out of our lowsec exit in his Typhoon (cunningly named Ty’s Phoon<\/em>) and heading to a central rendezvous location. On a whim, I take our loot along to sell, since I’m headed toward civilization anyway; our evening of Sleeper shooting nets us 95 million isk, which should help defray the cost of any potential ship losses on the op tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Not that I’m planning to lose a ship, but… you know. <\/p>\n

Good to be prepared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
