Curious, Enigmatic, Mysterious!

So, for a couple of days now I noticed a new type of signatures popping up, so called “Warp Matrix Convergences.” They look really weird and beautiful and I can’t get enough of them!

I asked a friend (Remy, I don’t think I ever told you of her?) about what ship she can recommend for these kinds of sites and she was all like, “a Probe, hands down.” She has a lot of experience with these things so I totally defered to her judgment and got myself one of those. This is what it looks like:

Everything about this is just so incredibly beautiful! Where do these sites come from? Who is responsible for them popping up just now? How long will they stay? Will I ever have to live without these stunning visuals again? 😭

For now I am intent on making the best of it. The sites I can find in the backwater of New Eden where I currently am give me a lot of Strange Matter Components and some blueprints, apparently for some kind of filament. After a whole afternoon of visiting these sites all over I went to a manufacturing station and got one of the blueprints manufactured. The result is indeed a filament!

I unloaded my Probe (because who knew what would expect me on the other side?), warped a bit away from the station and activated the filament.

Holy moly. This “warp matrix” thingy is even more beautiful than the convergence sites! See for yourself:

Absolutely stunning! This pocket of space is apparently being attacked by some kind of rift in space (see above) and there is a lot of debris floating around; some of which again contains those Strange Matter Components and even more blueprints! I see a busy day ahead of me tomorrow! 😃

Winter Mining

So, while Lissy is busy hunting down Sansha’s Nation (as she usually is) I have been clearing the mining sites that follow the ice storms that are currently roaming New Eden. It seems that under certain circumstances the sites disappear from the Probe Scanner window but do remain active and even respawn the asteroids after a while, giving you pretty much uncontested access to as much ice as you can mine. A miner’s dream come true! 😍

Now NOT to PVE…

Shield 0%, Armor 0%, Hull 50%, Modules Overheated
Shield gone, armor gone, half of hull gone, all modules overheated – what a way to die…

So, I tried one of the Winter Nexus event combat sites in highsec and the above image is the result. I was severely pummeled by the Sansha’s Direwight Stormlord and I barely made it out alive. If I really want to continue trying these sites with a Tempest I clearly need to think of some kind of miracle…
