LSE are possibly the only entity in EvE to reside in a real solar system. the jxxxxxx name is also the name of a real system with avisable planet. Which is kinda cool to be honest.
this is picture of LSE's home taken by actual earth scientist types:
...it the smallest known exoplanet orbiting its host at such a distance. It is also the first announced directly imaged exoplanet orbiting a sun-like star
I have always wanted to try my hand at a blog post about EVE. So here goes.... 8)
The night was as they always are in Nexus, beautiful quiet and with the familiar constellation draping the Downtown station in that special ray. Making it shine with the familiarity of home and hope of exploration.
The guys were flying a small gang in a newly discovered Radar site, when I woke up. On the corporation voice channel the guys were having fun and from what I could gather they were about to be done killing the inhabiting sleeper drones. I jumped in my guardian as I could understand that they were heading into a wormhole that had been located a few hours earlier, so I could get in on the action. One of the other pilots had been scanning the wormhole and found a small Magnetometric site, so the prospect of collecting sleeper debris for our corporations Tech 3 production was too good of a thing to miss out on.
Under the skilled command of our fleet commander we formed up and charged into the wormhole and as soon as we landed headed to the site. The sleepers might be the remnants of a forgotten “superior” technological culture but they are still only drones left behind and with our corporations pilots it is like taking candy from fat kids. As we finished up analyzing the sleeper site and scooping up the blown up sleepers, we decided that we would collapse the wormhole and try to see if we could find a new one to explore.
The fleet switched into Battleships and forced the wormhole to collapse. In the mean time I had my buddy Z start scanning our home system to see what was around. A new wormhole had opened up into a class 2 system. Z took a poke around and found a single station owned by a small corporation affiliated with the DUCK’s. As you know the most prudent action when you see a duck, Stop what you are doing, slowly move back the way you came, with no sudden movements and as quiet as possible. If you taunt a duck, there is no telling when kind of hurt you will be in. So Z placed a marker for future reference so we can tread lightly if we ever run across this duck pond again.
The fleet had closed the old wormhole and Z found the new wormhole and made it in there to look around. Directional scanning showed a Dominix in system, scanning. Not a good sign. Z started to look around for any sign of occupants, but none showed up. It smelled like a trap. A lost pilot in a battleship, uncloaked and staying close to the same planet, almost too good to be true. But again if it sound like a dog and walk like a dog, it might just be a dog. Our fierce hunter Trev had swooped in and with his usually deadly precision tracked him to a planet in system, but he was no were to be seen at the planet, so he had to be at a safe spot close by. We decide that we had nothing to lose. Worst case scenario: we would only scare him off when we would pop out combat scanning probes to pinpoint him.
4 of us jumped into combat ships. Trev in his stealth bomber, Ender in his trusted Loki, Informality took out his Pilgrim and I jumped in my Broadsword. We formed up at the wormhole entrance to the system, as Z popped out the probes.
My hands were trembling as the first scan result came back, 68% lock. Damn….. Had to do another scan with shorter range, taking more time and giving the Dominix more time to spot us and escape. Damn….
Rescanning….. 100% target found… YES.. Recalling Z’s drones and warping him cloaked in at 20 km… No sign of the pilot having spotted the probes. Z moved in under the vial of the cloak, orbiting the Dominix at 10 km. The Pilot DarkenSlider was behaving strangely for a lone pilot in a C5 class wormhole. He had to be a bait ship, but the system scan was clear, if he had friends close by they would have to use a little minute to get to his rescue and that would hopefully be enough time for the 4 of us to take him out. As soon as Z was in orbit we all jumped in and made our way to the target. The thrill of anticipation pumping true my body as the ship went thru the warp tunnel was almost too much. You know the feeling both trilling and scary at the same time. You just hope for the best as pray that you will not make too many mistakes.
Ender was the first on top of him and with his ship doing what is was designed for. DarkenSlider had no chance. With Ender pointing him, the rest of us landed mere seconds after. My warp scram bubble went up and he had nowhere to go. I think he was so surprised that he didn’t know what to do. In the short time it took for his ship to blow up, the only thing he managed to do was type what we took as a cry for help on local chat…. 10X ??
But we were not looking for ransom or making this a painful experience for the Dominix pilot. We had our heart set on helping this lone pilot finding his way back to safety in high sec and the fastest way to ensure it is to help him use the fantastic service of the cloning facilities back in known space. So as soon as Ender had blown up his ship, Trev did the pilot the human kindness and send his conscience back thru the large void of space to his home.
Off cause even thou we did this out of our kind heart’s, the pilot lost a few ISK this evening. But considering all, being lost in wormhole space having to use endlessly amount of time trying to find a way back, a price of a few hundred millions and level 4 implants are a cheap price for getting back into safety of his home.
It is always fun and rewarding when we in Lone Star Exploration can help people find their way.
I sincerely hope that DarkenSlider is happy with the charity.

Thanks to all that took part.
I can confirm that we do have US TZ recuritment officers now, like me. Stop by LSE - Public Chat and hang out for a bit. Also, if getting paid for what you do in a WH has ever kept you from trying it out talk to our members about how easy it is with LSE.
And for some reason I'm doing EU recruiting, not quite sure how that happened.
Still looking for space friends to get rich with and fail terribly at pvp.
Bumb, though don't apply that means I have to do interviews and shit!
can i join owa-
Came crawling back ?!
well i am technically in atm :VCame crawling back ?!
Yea lorkin keeps saying quackbot is the alliance leaderwell i am technically in atm :VCame crawling back ?!
Stick an ingame app in if you want back into lse though, I has power now so stuff gets done!
well trox is in 100MN so i could just fuck about being there can't i?
I have put in my application
Omir Kajil? If so Open Graves will sort you out.I have put in my application
also confirming they are cool
and easily scared by my neutral probing alt
What! Our space anus is a dark scary place
Gregarius + PitypangOmir Kajil? If so Open Graves will sort you out.I have put in my application
Damn it, that means I'm going to have to do somethingGregarius + PitypangOmir Kajil? If so Open Graves will sort you out.I have put in my application
are you recruiting for EU? Because im interested.... but... I've never done WH's before, or even looked at them.
What do you actually do inside them to make money, and how much money is it ?
Pretty new to the corp but maybe I can help with the isk question.
There's quite a lot to do in the hole to make money. Primary are fleet ops which include sleeper shooting, gas harvesting and mining fun. Solo stuff is a bit harder but occasionally you can clear ladar/grav sites or get a lucky connection to C1 or C2 space. For near passive income a lot of us do PI, which nets me approximately 15m per day. The nice thing about LSE is all payment for stuff is tracked by our tracking program, so payouts for the stuff you do are regular and predictable.
Hop in the public channel and ask whoever is around about how easy getting paid is.
We are recruiting EU and its our most active timezone. Never having done anything wormhole related isn't a problem, I had never lived in one before I joined LSE.
What we do is kill sleepers, suck gas and a few strange people even mine rocks! As Ethomas mentioned you can make a lot of money off PI if your so inclined a couple of people in the corp run multiple PI accounts and make stupid amounts.
As for how much its a little hard to answer as it depends on what the static has, best case an Instrumental Core Reservoir (gas site) which takes about 45min with 5 people gets you about 120mil each.
