Landing Pad 07 – core breach

Newly built stations burn in the skies overlooked by the Witch’s Head. They will declare it a worthy price of expansion. And we will fly to the rescue. There is a new calm in me, navigating these fires. After being eye to eye with them once more,...

Landing Pad 07 - eye to eye

Back in the Python. Jumping en route to the Witch Head, closing in on the rekindled war, the burning stations. Six jumps between me and the rescue vessels. The Probable Rescue is no explorer, so it takes some time. Time in between. In Witch Space....

Landing Pad 07 – gone, then back

Outwards. Escaping the fiery past of the stations burning, the burned in routine of rescue flights. Taking the Probably Gone, I made some 10kLY in a wide arc, taking in some sights. Then the messages started to arrive. I remember my hands hovering...

Landing Pad 07 - broken

Fighting the fiery glow that burned itself into my eyes, flying the Probable Rescue back and forth, something started to give. To break. Took me too long to realize that it was the voices on the com, the idiocy of automated flight control during times...

Landing Pad 07 - breaking

Lack of sleep. Too many stations burning. The red glow behind the mail slot became the eye of a monster, ready to devour the ship – but already busy killing people. Not facing it was never an option. Not without losing all the meaning. I jumped...

Landing Pad 07

The mistakes began some hours after the familiarities started. After the flight deck officer gave the order to keep the landing pad clear. “He’ll be back in 10”, was all she said. “Bet it will be more like five”, was the answer she got from someone...

Thorn in my Side

Like I said. I felt that sting before. Some CMDR I met over drinks made this joke. Seeing that thousands of our best went to the far side, he commented that this would be the perfect moment for the Thargoids to strike. My smile was too ragged. Later,...

Speared by Guardian Tech

Distant Worlds II went. I wish them well. But seems that wishes do not overcome gravity: 33 ships reportedly destroyed in crashes on a 3.3g planet. Which says a lot about necessary shield and hull strengths. Me? I am not with them, as I learned...

It does NOT come in black?!

Exploration requires a serious vessel. While I admire the skill of some to optimize for jump range and therefore weight, I would like to point out: some ships out there are anything but. Not being combat ready is thinkable, also potentially dangerous,...

I felt that sting before

What is of interest to me now is twofold: to understand what is out there, in the void – and to understand why we were not ready for some of it. The thing is: we felt the sting of the Thargoids before. To tell the truth, I do not know how Save and...
