After my costly lesson in logistics, i needed to relax and set up my PI planets.
Checking dscan before i warp and..wait!...
Two drakes on dscan,
hang on...my drakes still in hisec!

We still not managed to get in any combat ships, my space buddy is in a scanning ship and i got a blockage runner,
what are we supose to do?
fire probes at them?

So we spent the rest of the day trying to look hard to scare them off with our battle probes.

And watching them reduce our 19 sleeper sites to 9.

To rub salt in, we also had a hi sec exit that night, 8 jumps from amarr.

Heavy fuel

I gently rolled over in my bed looking at the clock, its only 8:30am and Mrs Kaoz was still fast asleep. Just as I was heading back to my dream I awoke abruptly.
Shit! only a days worth of fuel left and i need a trade hub, ships, more pos modules and strontium. I jumped out of bed and logged into eve, hitting the on switch on the kettle as i passed.

After 4 cups of coffee and 30 odd sigs scanned ,it was clear the only way out of our little world was the null sec exit.
Starting to panic, I jumped out of my trusty itty 5 with my pod and checked out null sec.
Result only 4 jumps to hisec! And it looks very quite.

Sod it , time to drink a big can of man up and run to the nearest shop (amarr was 12 jumps away)

I didnt see a soul on the way through null sec, not even a cod , and the only mullet was on my head.

The hueler was full the the brim with 100million isks worth of pos fuels in minutes and i was ready for the return trip.
Since it was so quite, i had no second thought to blindly jump into null sec in a untanked itty 5 with 100 million isks tied up in it...
One nv in null sec , and he just turned up at the gate i was at, so i hit warp to zero and waved at the dramiel out of my window and i shot off.
I was enjoying a fresh cup of coffee laid back in my pilots seat at my kitchen pc, when I was yanked out of warp early by a bubble, rubbing the coffee off my monitor i could just make out my new friend the dramiel pilot heading towards me.
I was right on the edge of the new bubble and spammed warp to the nearest planet, and my warp drive engaged!
A small celibration started as I thought I was going to make it.
The dramiel was still 40km out and i was approaching warp speed....very slowly approaching warp speed...

turns out dremiels are quite fast.

Now I did have a big can of man up...I just didnt open it yet.

There was begging ,
Offers of money,
Sex
Anything...

I guess he wanted to show off his killboard with his epic battle with a fail fitted itty 5.

Hummm i wants a dremiel .

As I awoke from my med clone, looked out into my ship bay, and see my viator,
no i said viator...

Perfect, just what i need, a cloaky blockade runner and downtime comming up.
29 jumps later and im outside the null sec system, cloaked , with a few days of fuel and 5 seconds untill servers go down...

time for a shower.

Needless to say I got it home 30.2 mins later with the help of super scouting space buddy.

Where ever I lay my space helmet...

The 1st full day living in our hole was eventful, the 1st job i had was to brake it gently to my fellow wormhole dweller and pos mate about the scanning .
Scanning is soul distroying, after 10 days of scanning to find this wh, we then had to scan down the sites every day to see what exits we have. Add to that my buddys got low scanning skills and i dont have a scanning ship in the hole yet. Infact i only have my itty 5 with a probe launcher.
Now this is not normally too bad, but no ones been to this systems in ages and we have 19 sleeper sites and 30+ sigs on scan. 90mins later and were done...

one slight problem...the c2 static has gone.

Ok so maybe the c2 wasint a static wh , maybe there is another c1,c2 or hisec static we missed..
nope all sigs covered...
well this is strange . Out of all the sigs the only wh is a null sec exit one.

Thats when i discovered www.staticmapper.com

this great little website tells you the probable static exit whs in each system. So i punched in our system name expecting to be told i somehow missed the static wh .

ONLY POSSABLE STATIC IS A N060 TO NULL SEC

Well thats just bloody great, our only static takes us the one place i dont want to go.
Of course being the experianced pod pilot that I am, I assumed a c1 would not have a static as usless as a null and we were so excited to finally find a wh with no one living in , we didnt care what statics it had....
at the time...

The big move

So, our new home, the nice c1 wh , is inside a semi active c2 8 jumps from my hisec base. Im ganna need at least 4 trips with my itty 5 to get our pos in with a few days of fuel.
Not a problem if im sat at home infront of my gaming rig.
Bit more of a challange hiding at work, with a old laptop running the net from my phone,that struggles to run eve, it struggles to run firefox most days if im honest.
I got on the phone during downtime to my space buddy, to see if he can get online to scout ahead for me, thats no probs .

As soon as DT finished we were on it, got the tower in and onlined in no time . The c2 locals were all offline, probally making the most of the daily downtime .

CCP put the servers down for 30mins a day to encourage pod pilots to have the odd shower. And look out the window to check IRL is still there.

once the med amarr tower was up and shields online we could relax abit. Now we clamed our little piece of the universe as our own.
Thats when our problems started.

As i flew out our wh, leaving my trusty RL space buddy to ancher and online what was left floating around our pos. I disconnected. Nothing new there, oranges network being prone to dropping when im nearly 800 metres from the orange comms tower. I relogged...and DC'ed...and relogged....and DC'ed..
The next 3 runs with the rest of the pos took over 3 hours with me DC'ing every 5 mins.

Very frustrating.

my gaming rig was going to get a cuddle soon as i get home.

New start again.

Every so often, things get a bit stale in the EVE universe.
So when my 0.0 corp decided to move north, i decided to grab a mate, buy a POS and go find a nice wh to live in.
Ive been kicking around EVE for a few years, so ive seen most of the game. Only thing ive not done is own a POS and small gang/solo/duo PvP.

Time to tick thos boxes!

We got our stuff out of null, dumped it in a handy hi sec station, and started looking for a low class wh we can call home.
Ive been thinking of living in a wh again for a while (the other time was in a c5 with a whole alliance) so i had a alt with scanning skills and our own corp all ready for me and my space buddy to join.
Now we just got to find a empty wh....

10 days later and 100s of systems scanned we were getting desperate, everyone and there pet amarrian seems to be living in wh space these days and if we are going to join them, we will need to be less picky where we live.
Then while having a sneaky scan on my laptop from work one day I found it.
A c1 with 19 sleeper sites, deep in wh space. It seems to have a static to a c2 , and a lot of c2 have statics to hi sec... this looks perfect. No hisec static so less hassle with hisec day trippers to wh space, and being a c1, no one can get battleships in, so no battleship blobs messing with our shinny new pos.
So now we just gotta get the pos in.... thro a active wh.... on a crappy laptop...while at work......
