From the patch notes for 2.2.1 (build 36800) Well, I've looked and there's an awful lot that i haven't visited.
I decided to change this fact.
So my Cheetah is no longer working for the GBC. It never was much good in that role anyway, what with my living in the wrong timezone for anything EVEish. Now it's just for me as I head off on a pilgrimage that will take me more than a year. By the end of it I plan to have that "Systems I have visited" function glowing across the entire map. I know. Some of you may object to my passage. Bring it on. You are welcome to hunt me though I would prefer if you would just say hi as I go past.
Step one began with the flight from FAT. I was there when Evil Thug DD'd his fleet through the POS shields. Now I'm leaving for ports unknown. 2 jumps out and there's nothing but me and my cloak. 10 jumps and it's quiet as a churchyard. Time to circle wagons, set the cloak and SS for the night.

Hope you'll make it, though I must say I reserve some doubt as of whether you will or not, as it is an awfully long time to do nothing but jumping around.
Prove me wrong by all means.
ps. Classicly, in case you do make it, by the time you finally warp into that final system you find out that CCP has just added another hundred system or so to the EVE world to expand it.

good luck I reckon you will need about 100 hours of game time to do it(including jumping through camps and dodging pirates)

Now I'm only a few hours into the mission and Catch was nice but I've seen a lot of it already. Impass is nearby and looks ripe. However I seem to have hit a snag. My map is not updating with the places I've been. Gah. Tools are always a problem. Petition raised to see what's going on. So here is where I record my travels, and so that I don't repeat myself I'll finish one region at a time.
Only seen one station so far: "The KillerMiner". It was uninhabitted but the automated process were unfriendly. I moved on.

Impass is slowly turning red. 33 more jumps and I've touched an entire region. I'll have to get a list and start marking it off. Much Russian involvement. One pilot waved to me on the way past and a Tempest waited on a gate to say hello real personal-like. He never saw me fortunately.
Highlight of the night is definitely the station called "S T A L I N G R A D" It looks beautiful.

lol. Only going forward 'cause I can't find reverse.
Damnit. Wandered into a bubble and wasn't paying close enough attention to my cloak. Podded in Y-6B0E by Tim Taylor and Gr3yHunt3r 'grats gentlemen. You'll see me again soon.

Well. Getting back through HED-GP took two goes. Screwed up the first one by turning my cloak on and off again at the incoming gate camp. They were kind enough to let me leave back to empire in my pod.
Second time through and it wasn't too difficult.
Stopped for a break in V-3YG7 to allow a massive BoB fleet to pass through. They weren't very talkative.

Edited by: Jeran Tek on 10/11/2007 06:03:01 Optimize starts to have a hernia around 6-8 waypoints. Anyway. That's not what this post is for. I've finished my first region. I have now seen every system Impass has to offer. There were several friendly pilots including an Argentinian group who discussed, in Spanish, how hard it would be to catch me. I had to imagine the accent when one of them explained in English what they had been discussing "Jeconias tell me. He wanna keeel you." :) In the end they didn't have a bubble so it really wasn't going to amount to much.
Time to find a new region.

Went to see the wreck of Steve today. Guess that means Esoteria's my next region.

Edited by: Bimjo on 10/11/2007 07:30:37 Since "systems you've visited" function isn't live I suggest you use 2D maps print off each system and mark them off http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=226749

I think I'm finding that, Bimjo. I'll stick to my plan of a region at a time and see how I go.
There's a little outstretched piece of Esoteria near Stain, held by the Stain Empire. No conversation but a good defensible bottleneck. Fortunately for me they only had one active pilot at the time I tried to leave. A single Domi is never going to stop a Cheetah. He was obviously waiting for me - as soon as he saw me cloak on the exit gate he went back inside.

Found another unfriendly abandonned station: All Tomorrow's Parties. Who are United Legion, anyway? Obviously not been gone long - there was a cargo container in space. Must have been here in the past couple of hours. Villa Straylight is out there as well. Very blocky station construction in this part of space.
Bikini Bottom is a pretty station. How strange. MWA Logistics has an office there. I wonder what my old alliance is doing out here or if they even remember it's there.
Not much of Esoteria to go.
Highlight of the day is a toss-up between the station Bikini Bottom and getting chased & bubled through my old constellation JSZ. For some reason all my ratting in CR hadn't registered as visited. Had a Crow come within 4km of my poor little cloaked Cheetah while an Heretic was busy with the bubbling. Thank you gentlemen for the rush. I can't name them because the names were in Russian and they didn't talk to me so I don't have them in my logs.

Tagged & bagged Esoteria today.
Trac3rt was a friendly goon. She'll probably get in trouble with her superiors for that ;)
Got my first visitor in the Walkabout channel. Lucas Malbranque dropped in to say hi as I whisked through his system too fast.
Did you know there are whole thriving colonies out in Paragon Soul that probably never see the light of empire? Emptiness for system after system then some little backwater has 20 or 30 people in it.
Paragon Soul is a little region. 60 jumps for every nook & cranny. Where to next?

On that note, does anyone have a list of regions in EVE with a simple count of the number of systems?

Can you take a screenshot of your ingame map with "visited" systems? And give us updates as we go. Would be kinda cool.

Will do. It's pretty tragic atm. It's only got 1.5 systems. It seems to lag a couple of days behind what I'm doing.
Anyway, another region fell to the wanderer today. Period Basis should light up soon.
Today's notes:
Oooh. This system has a can on it "Bob Restricted area" I can feel a podding coming on...
Found an MC station with some serious phallic symbolism. First place I've seen that looks like a giant spire. Fortunately the 10 others in system didn't object to my presence too much. Nor did they talk to me at all :(
Later... Jeran Tek > Wow. I come all the way out here, expecting an empty dead-end system and there's 25 in local. Jeran Tek > /emote checks his cloak and prepares to move along, nothing to see here. The Verdict > someone didnt check map =X Icome4u > please keep local clear when we have a red or neutral in system, thank you
The Verdict? I'm not quite that daft :) Icome4u? You are a poo-poo head. Let the troops say hello to an itinerant nobody!

To their credit, one of them did come and say Hi in Walkabout after I'd left.
Anyway, to whet your appetite: Week 1
As you can see (if you know your map REALLY well) Esoteria is about half lit up and Impass is alight. The rest is still dark :( Much of empire is alight. As you can tell, I'm not afraid to travel a bit.

Been bugging me for days. Found my Corp / Alliance settings for the forum.
And Elisa? EVE is upside down. If you look so that dragging right spins it clockwise then you're looking at it from the bottom. Well established fact of the map.

Personally, when I drag right I want it to spin clockwise, so I look at it from the 'bottom'. since the bottom is pretty arbitrary as it is. Just the same, it looks upside-down when you compare it with all the influence and territory maps which have used the orientation that has been used for a long time. Flatten the map and it flips it over the way most maps use for viewing the galaxy. --- "Come back with your shield, or on it."

Edited by: Jeran Tek on 12/11/2007 13:23:14 Delve is slowly succumbing to the wanderer. Several attempts to catch me here - none as close as Esoteria yet. If you're going to be an interceptor on a bubble camp you have to react far faster than that!
Today's rambling notes:
Cross cultural good times: Popping into a dead-end system out in Delve there's a couple of germans. I don't speak much German but enough to say goodbye. Here is what followed: Jeran Tek > wiedersehen MarcoHall > besser is das
Did he just say "It's better that way"?
Oooh. A Blood Raider station. I wonder if the faction hates me enough not to let me dock ... Doesn't seem that way even though I'm below -5 after Diplomacy. Good news :)
Has anyone ever mentioned that Delve is big and full of NPC stations which are, in turn, full of angry Russians who don't like neutrals? 120 jumps to go. This is going to be a long region.

Delve is my target for today's wander. I've found a better view of my map (and, especially for you Elisa, it's "right way up" this time)
Week 1, no labels
