Well, here I am again, posting after a long pause. I've been pretty busy with training, agent missions, and searching for wormholes. It has been an interesting experience this last week!
I've gotten all the recommended certifications for my Moa and am now going to start working on building up my weapons skills and other skills to help with shield tanking. I've also learned a few skills to allow me to use probes to find wormholes, pirate complexes, and other ships. I may expand on those skills sometime in the future but for now I will leave them as they are because I am still learning to master the probing interface.
Ever since the incident in the Seyllin system has occurred there have been lots of reports of other unstable wormholes, and the sleepers, all over the galaxy. It's gotten me interested enough to go out and find some of these wormholes. It took me a little bit as I needed to learn Astrometrics but once I had done that I set out to check my local systems out.
At first, I was not having any luck as I had a little trouble learning to use the interface. Luckily there were quite a few other people that were familiar enough with it that I was able to adapt quickly. The problem then was that I couldn't seem to locate any unstable wormholes. I did find quite a few hidden pirate complexes and checked them out. I cleared a few of them out and there were some that were just swarming with well-armed pirates and I couldn't barely touch them. I bookmarked those sites and figure I will go back once I have gotten my skills up.
I travelled to a few other systems and did some more scanning. I only found more complexes and had some fun clearing them out. I had almost given up on these wormholes until I decided to try my home system of Shihuken again. I was able to finally locate my first wormhole not to far from my home station. It's amazing to know that these things can appears so randomly and that there could possibly be a reoccurrance of what happened in Seyllin at anytime.
These wormholes are huge and it was a very odd feeling to travel through one. The experience was nothing like traveling through the wormholes created by the Stargates. Apparently the wormholes also affect my ship in weird ways. I had some issues with my propulsion systems on the other side. Luckily the ship was able to adjust quickly and things were back to normal soon.
I did some probing around inside the wormhole and found quite a few cosmic anomolies and other weaker cosmic signatures. I decided to check out some of the anomolies and found a few of the sleepers hanging around some asteroids and they did not like me being there. I barely escaped from them with my ship in tact. Luckily I had recently updated my loadout to include some shield upgrades and was able to take the hits until my warp drive kicked in.
I went back to scanning around and found another wormhole hanging around on the outskirts of the unknown system. I decided it was worth checking out and found that it lead back to known space and I popped out in the Gallente owned Chamerout system, 11 jumps away from where I started.
I checked out the system because I had never been in Gallente space before and their stations aren't too bad. A little on the showy side for my tastes. Their stargates are as well. I decided I would head back in to check out more of the wormhole system and see what else I could find.
I found a few more asteroid belts with sleepers in them and some empty ones as well. I figured this would be a miners dream with all the untapped resources available. The only problem is with all the sleepers around it would take a small army to safely mine any of it.
Well, I am off to rest up for tomorrows adventures. I hope I can post more often now that my training schedule isn't so hectic.
