Well, Venal is behind me. And I have a week of traveling so intermittent EVE. JT is resting in an implant clone in empire for the week. Shaves 1.5 days off this week's training. The Raven sitting there looks awesome too. Maybe I'll get some hours in this week and take it out for a mission run.
There was one little scare in Venal coming from my own stupidity.
My notes from the time say it best:
Got a picture of an Archon today - warping to Cynos is fun.
I wonder how many people make a pilgrimage to the Haj (H-AJ27)?
I must not watch my wife's TV programs while in 0.0. I must not watch ...
Tried to slip away from a gate that I just warped to when there was a sabre on it. Of course that turned OFF my cloak, not on. Dumb. At least I only lost armour in the process. I dived through the gate and got away.
And then I was in Gurista space so there were NPC stations to dock at.
100,000 ISK and an anxious moment getting out of the station and the journey continues. Phew.
Not quite more lit up than not ... but it's getting close.

You sir get my props. You're doing the first thing I wanted to do when I first started playing eve, however as we all know the map wasn't as friendly back then so I tried to compensate with bookmarks, but after visiting most of empire and some of low/nullsec, my client crapped a brick when it came to bookmarking anything new and wasn't happy so I had to abandon it and generally gave up, but now with the map fixed that old hankering has been sneaking up again....

Now RL muust intervene for a week. I'm flying around the world over the next week (Australia -> USA & back) and probably won't have much EVEtime in that trip.
Jeran is back in Empire for a week as it shaves 36 hours off my training times per week I spend in the +4 body.
See you all in a week or so. The drone lands must wait.

What makes you say that? That I would start doing this? or because I've kept doing it?
Everything in EVE is something to do. I spend a lot of time jumping, sure, but then I get times of panic when I run into a sabre or, worse, a full-fledged gate-camp. Or I wander into a system and chat in local and meet interesting people, watch their Hulks panic and race to the station, etc.
I've taken part in large fleet combat. I get more excitement doing this than I do in fleet fights.

On the road again. RL travels have ended so EVE travels may begin again.
A quick exit fromthe Guristas station where my JC had been hibernating and we are away.
Tip for that one - if you want to dock at an NPC station in 0.0, put a bookmark at least 250km (and preferrably a couple of AU) directly out in front of the docking bay. That way when you undock you can warp before anyone can target you.
No-one was outside anyway but in the long run it's always easier being careful than being sorry.
Now I'm hanging out in the Drone lands again. Nothing much to say tonight. I started too late to travel much, just enough to get into a SS rather than a station.
Someone dropped in to the Walkabout channel today and asked what is the most interesting (or some of the most interesting) thing(s) I had seen.
That's a really hard question to answer.
Some of the stations are breathtaking, especially when you see them for the first time. I'm still in 2 minds about the graphics update. The stations look better but not as pretty.
If you've read the 4 pages of wandering thought above you've had a taste of some of the things I've found interesting.
By far the most fun is when a group of people take offense to my presence (in an impersonal way) and try to hunt me down or chase me out. Even better is when they're willing to talk about it afterwards.
There are beautiful sights (blue stations!), unexpected sights (a combat arena out in 0.0?), and I'm looking forward to making it to Genesis one day to see the EVE gate and a few of the named systems out there.
It's often interesting from a player-base point-of-view to enter a system and be told "Traffic Control is offline" because that means you're the first player there since the last DT. There are plenty of systems that don't ever see a player in the normal course of events. I've been there now.
Anyway, it's late, I'm writing instead of sleeping. It's good to be back.

As you may have noticed, I'm on the move again.
S-I6VU is behind me.
The locals weren't very talkative ingame but it may have been the speed with which I was running from them :)
The one station system I stopped in for a bit started spewing ships like it was having digestive trouble. I left before they could get organised.
As you can see above many of them have dropped in here to say hello.
Just one note from today:
Found a station today "Darkelf The World is Yours" I wonder if that's the same Darkelf. There's a Darkelf memorial station in Delve.

Hmmm ... looks like I just finished exploring Perrigen Falls and not S-I6VU as I thought.
While fixing my spreadsheet to reflect the new names I noticed something - I've now been to over 3/4 of the 0.0 systems.

Oasa has fallen, or at least been visited.
Time to try to get my map to tag Cobalt Edge and Outer Passage again.
Currently there's a big hole where there shouldn't be.
Only an extra 100 jumps or so to try to colour it in...

I finished off Cobalt Edge before DT today. A quick check afterwards shows all the stars shining properly now. Only another 50 or 60 jumps to fix up Outer Passage then back to my regular programming. I'll take a screenie when they're all lit up.

Got a picture of a Nyx today... warped to a cyno that was up in a system I wandered into. The Taranis was the cyno ship.
When I commented what a lovely ship it was I got this in response:
[ 2007.12.23 13:23:54 ] Jeran Tek > o7
[ 2007.12.23 13:24:06 ] Jeran Tek > That's one beautiful ship you've got there.
[ 2007.12.23 13:24:25 ] Jeran Tek > I always did like the Taranis.
[ 2007.12.23 13:26:18 ] <Nyx Pilot> > well, just ordered not to engage you :)
Obviously someone thought I was harmless enough to let me go, despite finding a supercap :)

Finished my wanderings in Outer Passage. Hopefully my map will update tomorrow the outside will look more impressive. Still a big hole where the Jove systems are but at least I have all the outer player regions lit up now.
Next task is to finish off Drone space. Etherium Reach or whatever it is I'm coming for you!

I can't wait to see the map at the end. I didn't realize you would be as fast as you have been. Was fun to see you back in a gang when you came to the States.

Awwww ... my corp still loves me, even though I've been AWOL for the better part of 2 months now. Must be something to do with how nice and laidback they all are.
Thanks guys. I should be back some time in March at this rate :)
According to EVEMON that means I won't even have finished level 4 in all the skills I wanted to get to 5 during this journey. I'll have to find something else to waste my time on ... how's the mining going?

Outer passage just will not get tagged.
I'm not going through there a 3rd time. Not for now, anyway.
See?

Back in the saddle after the Christmas / New Year debacle that is family life.
Started around Etherium Reach. Intrepid Crossing made a half-hearted attempt to stop me but nothing serious.
Seeing the Thanatos on the gate when I jumped into one of their station systems was a gut-stopping moment but he was attended by a Raven and a bunch of T1/T2 drones.
An Ares came out to play when I hung around the station for a bit but still no dictors.
The best fun was the guy who asked me if he could kill me - he'd made a bet that he'd put me in a new frigate. He chased me in a Merlin. I kept telling him which gate I'd just warped to so he would at least keep somewhere close behind me.
Ah well, nothing much interesting has happened on the Goon side of Etherium.

Got a donation yesterdeay. A pilot from Intrepid Crossing (I'll leave him anonymous unless he wants to pipe up) donated 10m ISK "for ship replacements".
Just wanted to say a public thank you. That's a very generous act.
Just to keep things straight, I don't need donations and I'm not looking for donations. I have plenty of cash from my mission running and can go back there for top-ups if such becomes necessary.
But still. Thank you. Generosity is always nice to find in this game :)

Etherium Reaches out behind me. There is an Expanse of Kalavela in front.
Today's turning point - more than 50% of the regions visited.
There are 63 regions (66 if you count Jove space, which I'm not) and Etherium Reach was my 32nd.

Kalevala Expanse is behind me.
Something strange happened today - my corp joined the Bruce Alliance.
The rest of Kalevala suddenly went blue.
I wonder how that's going to affect the rest of my wanderings.
My # of systems readout says 50% now but it's lying - I'm 19 systems short.
I'm also up to 85% of 0.0
Malpais next to finish off the drone regions ... except for Outer Passage. Grrr.
Notes from today's ramblings:
L4x-1v? Makes me think "Laxative"
lol. There's a can on the gate here "Holiday System". Who would holiday in the depths of the drone regions??
Flew through "B1UE-J" today. Where's da pretty birdy?
