The Fickle World Of Mining...Colonia Or Elsewhere So, I really need to replenish my bank account after spending so much to transfer two ships and a number of high-class, high-grade and engineered modules from the core systems to Colonia Dream. SO much money. Prior to may latest jaunt to the core...
Not Earth-shattering News, But Import To MeI'm home, simple as that. Nothing particularly exciting, nothing life-changing. Well, maybe just a little life-changing. I mean, after spending so much time 'on the road'. But it sure was nice cruising through the mail slot at Colonia Dream. Inexplicably,...
I'm Almost Home...Dragging A Piece Of Toilet Paper After the awesome events memorializing our departed fellow Silverback I finished doing some housecleaning of my remote fleet. By "remote fleet", I mean the lesser ships I have parked at Jameson Memorial, Citi Gateway, Gurney Slade (Silverback...
Mission Accomplished: Rest Well, Draco!The Silverbacks gathered for a succession of activities to honor our lost comrade, Draco-cdn. Although his passing was very sudden and unexpected, it was a stark reminder of why we call ourselves The Silverbacks. The years and the miles have peppered...
A Quick Cradle of Life Tour and Painful EngineeringSo, after a little over a week of grinding to engineer my new Clipper and Courier, I finished the housecleaning of my ships in the core systems. The Ceti Draco is pretty much AX-ready (anti-xeno) at this point, so I just need to wait for the big bughunt...
Housekeeping...and Why Do So Few Like Colonia?Time to add a few random thoughts. When you spend a lot of time in the black and you haven't hired (or chosen to bring) extra crew along, you have a lot of head-time. You know what I mean...wallowing in the echo chamber of your thoughts. So, things...
Prepping For A MemorialEight days ago, we lost one of our Silverbacks: Draco-cdn. It was totally unexpected, not some protracted battle with an illness. But we are Silverbacks for good reason. We're seasoned, we've been places, done things, seen things. We have weathered...
Over 18,000 Lightyears Without A CanopyYes, you heard that right. 18,000 lightyears without a completely blown canopy. You can imagine how I'm feeling right now as I sit, slumped in the command seat of my injured Anaconda, parked on the pad at Colonia Dream. I still can't believe...
Beagle Point Is Now But A Memory -- The Trek Home! The meet-up with some of my fellow Silverbacks was fun, typically raucous and full of good-natured insults. When you're seasoned with as much salt and pepper as this squadron, it's to be expected. Once everyone arrived at the appointed time--some...
Waiting for mass-jump from Beagle Point I was the second of The Silverbacks to arrive at Beagle Point, but now it looks like everyone is here. We all agreed to take the photo op on 2 April 3305 at about 1800 UTC as we mass-jump out. There's preliminary talk of everyone caravaning to...
