It all happened yesterday, April 11th. Sylph Alliance dropped a new Outpost in the ZQ-Z3Y solar system, T-HHHT constellation.

After 3 months of planning and working on details, we began moving the Outpost from empire. A 6 freighter caravan began it’s trip reaching ESA solar system 6 hours later. The caravan then parked in empire for a few hours and at around 0230 it started moving down to ZQ-Z3Y. 2 hours later the freighters arrived their final destination. The caravan then safed up and waited till around 0930 eve time to prepare the anchoring of the Outpost. Stone Shadow Syndicate started building the Outpost at around 10.50 eve time.

I was out of town since Sunday and my portable internet connection isn’t very good so I wasn’t online very often. Anyways, I just got home today and I noticed that Whatpulse is alive again after 1 year and half. Personally, I never thought the owners would bother with this project again, I had it tagged as ‘dead’ for a long time now, but apparently they have a new guy in the development team and they just started developping with maximum strength.

For those of you that don’t know what Whatpulse is, it’s a small piece of software that counts your keystrokes and mouse clicks. Every 24 hours (depending on configuration settings) it sends (pulses) your keystrokes and clicks to the server and builds a nice page with your statistics and your rank worldwide. On top of that, Whatpulse also tracks down your mouse movement and tells you how many Kilometers have you walked with your mouse. For some people this might seem useless but I’m a sucker for statistics, I love this type of things.

The new Whatpulse release (1.6.2) features a lot of bug fixes as well as some new features. You can read more about it here.

There is, however, a new unofficial (for now) version – 1.6.2.1 – that includes some fixes and debug code wiping. You can download Whatpulse 1.6.2.1 here.

Joint OP started at around 1900 EVE Time.
Fleet moved to Assah and then made route to low-sec system Irshah.

From there we moved around in Derelik region and bashed a few POS’s into Reinforced mode belonging to X13 Alliance and Ushra’Khan.

The beginning of the Operation was a little messy but I have to say that I wasn’t 100% listening to comms either. After the first half hour everything was running smooth. We had capitals on hold, scouts covering all entry points, a support fleet with RR battleships and a sniper fleet.

The first POS we engaged was handled by the capital fleet for the most part – snipers fleet assisted in the beginning – and it went down pretty fast. While capitals were bashing the POS, my fleet (support) was sitting in one of the gates waiting for potential threat. Anyways, POS went down and after that we engaged another 2 POS’s from X13 but this time support fleet was also called in as there was no enemy movement in any of the nearby systems.

After X13 POS’s were down, we had one final POS to take care of: Ushra’Khan’s “Bannable Offense” – Location: Mifrata.
This was a True Sansha Control Tower Medium with a 2 warp scramblers, bunch of shield hardeners, jammers and a few True Sansha weapons. It was an awesome time, specially because we had Lord Makk sitting inside the forcefield watching us beating down his POS into reinforcement. The operation took 5 hours and a half and it was very well coordinated and commanded (great job FC’s!)
