A long time ago I was going to go sightseeing around the galaxy, but got a bit sidetracked. Now, almost exactly five years later, I'm going to continue doing this. I'm going to go through every system in every region. I've been playing Eve for 5 years now, and if this takes me another 5 years to complete, it'll be worth it. :)
More information here on my blog.
If you'd like me to say hello or invite me on an adventure of your own when I come your way, make a note here with your location and I'll look you up when I'm passing through.
I'll update this thread with links to new blog posts as I go through my sightseeing travels. I'll also chat with any of you that wants to chat, whether that's on this thread, in-game, or via comments on my blog.
There's the possibility that I can make the acquaintance of every single one of you... Wouldn't that be interesting! |

Wormhole systems may prove a challenge, but good luck in your travels.
Six months in the hole... it changes a man. |

True that.... I'm not sure if I'll include wormhole systems yet, because they're not really on any maps so I can't mark them off or document them so I don't go back.
It's also unlikely that my sightseeing ship will include a probe launcher. I'm just going to keep it simple for travelling around the entire galaxy, rather than scanning for wormholes, etc, but I'm sure that I could enter any wormholes that people invite me to.  |

Doing all this ratting to try and get my sec status down is a bit rough. Might be a week or so before I can go travelling at this rate, but I'll get there! |

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it. |

Nice to see you here. I wish you good luck. And thanks for help back in the years against Panda. How is Jalif these days anyway.
Take care and fly dangerous as you like. |

Someone did this a while ago and visited every system in the game and I think there was an Article published on The Scope? I think it was about a year ago.
Good Luck Mr Claw and make sure u fit for combat.... |

Thanks for all the well wishes!
@Galadriel Vasquez did they document their experiences along the way, or just talk about it in a Scope article? I'm going to see if I can find it....
@Abrazzar 'Black Claw Down' might happen more often than is worth making a movie about it 
@Jaraslav Unwanted that Panda campaign was great, and you're welcome. I don't know what Jalif is doing these days. |

I am doing something similar. Circumnavigating known space through all of sov space. It should be fun.

@Poetic Stanziel Nice! I've also added your blog to www.evebloggers.com
So I did a bit of research and found that someone by the name of Jeran Tek has gone through every system in the galaxy only a year after I first wanted to do it back in 2006.... *sigh*
But anyway, I'll be doing it a bit different over the next few months (or years!). I'll be taking photos of every interesting attraction in every system of Eve, and tagging them with the attraction name (where they have names, that is), and the system and region names. This should allow a 'database' of attractions per system and region that people can look at.
It's a shame that the Jovians didn't let Jeran into their regions, so they probably won't let me in either. Oh, the photos I could take...... |

Speaking of 'a bit different'...
After losing my stealth bomber to some warp scrambling rats and not being able to finish them off before they finished me off, I then started pod-jumping around the region to go get another stealth bomber. In the process of avoiding warp bubbles and gate camps in my pod, I came to a realisation....
What the heck am I doing wasting time trying to get my sec status up? I don't need a ship to go jumping around Empire! I can do it in my pod. It just means I better not hang around at gates or station exits, and should treat the entire galaxy the same way I'd treat nullsec - dangerous!
In a pod, I can start my adventure straight away. CONCORD won't chase me in highsec, and I'll only have other pilots to worry about. Admittedly, quite a few more than in nullsec, and most of them chasing me as I race through the highsec system, fashing red and with a bounty on my head....
This could be fun. :) |

You should go from the "north"ernmost point of 0.0, straight across the center of empire and to the "south"ernmost point of 0.0 and see how long it takes.
PERSONALLY Is like the referrence point to be able to tell ppl that ask how big it is lol

@EVE Stig I thought about it, but I'm currently in Curse, and I decided it would be a good idea to just start from my current location. It all gets travelled anyway. Also, I worked out that if I average 15 systems a day, 3 days a week, it should take me just over two and a half years to travel all of New Eden. |

P.S. It's been a long time since the 0.0 Experiment came to an end; nice to see more intrepid explorers out there...

This is a project that has always interested me. I tried doing this when I first started EVE and failed miserably.

@CCP Spitfire and @CCP Zymurgist hey, thanks for dropping by! Maybe you could contact the Jovian Ambassador for me to arrange a meeting where we can discuss an authorised photo shoot through Jove space for purposes of public relations? I think it's been 8 or so years since they let anyone in. Maybe they'd be open to it again by now?
@Pyx Jasta that's pretty scary, thanks for the heads up. |

You know, I've been thinking about the fact that my security status is currently -9.27... While that will certainly make for an interesting time travelling through highsec, it would be nice to have a sec status that means I can avoid people or CONCORD shooting at me while I'm looking at some kind of landmark.
So I'm putting out a request....
If anyone would like to have me join their fleet when I'm passing through their area and have me tag along while they're doing a bit of battleship ratting, that would be awesome. You might need to lend me a fitted battleship though, 'cause my covert ops ship just won't cut it...
I know that's a big ask, but in exchange you'll get a mention in this thread and on my blog. A bit of public appreciation for you.
Oh, and of course you'd get your battleship back when I'm ready to move on again! I don't want to be known as some kind of battleship thief... (And no, this isn't a pirate scam. I'm serious about everything I'm doing right now.) |

From one explorer to another, just wanted to encourage you as well. It's a lonely, long journey, but so far worth the effort.

I've been pondering the same request, wondering if something like that could be worked out.

Good luck on your travels Black Claw, I'll be following along and watching your blog.
Do you plan on making it a point to visit the sites of note from the eve novels such as the burning Ishukone HQ in Malkalan or player created sights like the capsuleer graveyard in Molea?
