Malpais - mostly a lot of silence. So much back-tracking though. The whole place is 102 systems that took me 177 jumps to see. That's probably my worst percentage yet.
Anyway. Another couple of milestones - 8 Drone regions visited (I'll give Outer Passage one last try!). Over 50% of the systems in EVE are now covered by regions that I have visited all of.
Not much of 0.0 to go.
Notes from today: Found a can labelled "STOP!!! Арендованно! (i nicked this from some russians, thought i'd leave it here)" Anyone know what that means (the cyrillic bit).
NB0-00? I want my Natalie Portman! 13-49W - most numbers in a system name? Hmmm ... 63-7Q6 too ... and W5-205. I give up until I find one with 5 numbers.

Those JPGs don't do justice to the beauty of the galaxy. I get them in full detail. When I finish I'll find somewhere to put a proper one but not for all the interim ones.

I think what you're doing is great, I love this thread. I just read the entire thing through (at work, no less, shhhh). Good luck in your journies! You make me wish I owned 0.0 so I could see you pass through, but when you make your way through lowsec I hope to spot you in local.

Low-sec's going to be interesting.
For now I'm not going to play much in the next couple of days so I've planted myself in one of the systems in Outer Passage that won't get tagged. Let's see it ignore me sitting there!
Grrr.

Only snatching 20-30 minutes of game time every couple of days atm. So I'm slow-boating through Outer Passage. 5-10 systems every couple of days. It seems to be working - about 3/4 tagged now. About 400 more 0.0 systems to go. At the current rate I'll be finished sometime around 2010.

I know it doesn't matter to most of you, and you probably can hardly tell with the resolution images I post but ... The drone regions are tagged now. 
I've moved on to Wicked Creek. My next task is to make the South and Southwest look like I've been through them.
Feels good to be on the road again after slow-boating through Outer Passage.

Just wanted to say that I think the concept of this journey is a glorious venture and that I greatly admire you for undertaking an exploration of this magnitude simply out of wanderlust and curiosity.
You, sir, are a shining beacon to each and every pilot out there. Each of us defines our eve experience differently, but you have chosen to go beyond the usual accepted ways of playing and immersed yourself in such a delightful manner that few others can ever hope to strive towards.
Great respect, even if it's a game. Perhaps exactly because it is a game.
At times we forget that EVE is more than just fleets, killmails, setups and ratting. That there is an intrinsic value to this universe of ours, and that there are vast differences amongst the regions that are worth exploring. CCP, I know you are following this thread with glee. This is how you like to see a game enjoyed in ways that were perhaps not planned by the developers themselves.
Jeran, I would not do you the dishonour of simply setting you blue to IAC when you are in Catch. Instead, I ask that you send me a mail once you decide to finish Catch (Providing you haven't already finished), and I'll grab a ship myself and join you for a bit on your journey through the south.
Again, this thread delivers. ----------------------

ANd Wicked Creek slips into my wake. The notes from today say it all:
Wicked Creek: vast tracts of nothing followed by a little concentration of TCF. At least they're more talkative than the Morning Star I've been talking to for the last 90 jumps.
Only one attempt to stop me - including my first sighting of a Heavy 'Dictor. Nice photo op :)

Originally by: Jeran Tek On that note, does anyone have a list of regions in EVE with a simple count of the number of systems?
You should checkout evefront.com It has a Journaling Function built in. It works in the Ingame Browser, so as you go from system to system you can leave a public comment. It also has personal Journaling type features perfect for what your doing. And if you like all the entries are public, accessible via IGB, regular browser or mobile phone.
Way Cool. Evemail Tned Durand for an invite on the system.h

I've been in blue-space for too long. Most of the way through Scalding Pass and I almost rode up the tail-pipe of a Flycatcher. Fortunately he didn't know I was close to the gate but we came within 7km of each other. For a Cov Ops that's almost spitting distance and far too close for comfort.
So far stupidity and lag are neck-and-neck at 2 kills each. I can feel another death through stupidity coming on. Not today, fortunately, but complacency will kill me one day soon...

Well, Scalding Pass is now Scalding Passed.
Final jump was a bit hairy. Moving to Curse for the start of the next phase and I'm about to warp to the H-ADOC gate (fishing, anyone?). There's a bunch of neutrals in system but I've been warping around for over an hour now. I warped straight to the gate before checking local, then noticed it and hoped that they weren't bubble camping.
Do you know what it feels like to warp into a gate with combat sounds going on. Before you even come out of warp? Scary times but I should know better. If they're already fighting it's unlikely that they'll have time to look for a Cov Ops. They didn't have a bubble up and the Inty / Drake gang was happily pounding away at an Abaddon so I stuck around for the inevitable. The guy managed to get his pod out. That's my cue to leave 'cause all those drones & intys are going to want something to do soon and hiding right on the gate can be detrimental to your health.
Now for Curse and the beginning of my sweep across the inner-south regions.

Nice thing you are doing here. If i may ask... What so far is your favorite region you have passed through yet?
As for the regions you still have to do....The Forge..No one will blame you if you leave Jita unvisited lol.
And since someone mentioned that other guy (Cant spell his name for the life of me)..yeh you got it better. The whole nailing every system is a big task..not just traveling through a region. Also you find some odd things. Since you are sharing your stories, figure ill give you one. I used to live in Etherium Reach (Sp?) in R-6KYM with Ethereal Dawn. (First im surprised you got that constellation so easily thanks to its loop nature). Decided to go peek at the drone regions in a raptor. Found some system north of R-6 by about 10 jumps (Dont remember the name). Jumped in to find two folks cybering it up. Was very hillarious to see, felt bad for interupting. Eve holds alot of odd things.
Anyways, safe journeys. Maybe one day you can set up a race from one 0.0 system all the way around the ring (Not every system though). Would be cool.
Fly Safe.
Delivering the kick to the jaw of society to stop it from drooling on itself like the ignorant slop it is since 1984.

Heh. Thanks for dropping by and the comments. I've never seen anyone cybering in space but you never know. I've had some quick logoffs and I always just assumed they were farmers...
I had one of those moments today when you realise things are not quite right. It wasn't in-game though. It was when I recorded the trips through Scalding Pass and Curse. Yes. Seen them both now. Curse is insane, more on that later. I've been reporting my 0.0 percentage complete based on my original calculations of the number of 0.0 systems. It appears I'd left a few out. This became obvious when I only had 100 or so systems to go and still haven't visited Stain or Syndicate (over 100 each).
So I spent some quality time with Ombey's maps (3.42 for the Drone region name updates!) and reclassified all my systems. I also updated my tracking spreadsheet so that it automatically counts 0.0 systems separately from the total count and works out the percentage for me :)
So now I think I have it right. I've visited 37 regions, of which 36 were 0.0 That's 59% of the total or 88% of 0.0 Those regions contained 2872 Systems, again 2769 were 0.0 That's 56% of the total and 84% of 0.0
There are 5 Null-sec regions to go: Catch (108), Providence (84), Querious(95), Stain (132), and Syndicate (106).
A virtual setback but I will overcome it. The end of 0.0 is definitely in sight now.

As for Curse. Ouch. The stations are beautiful, the residents ... not so much. My first sighting of a Phobos earlier this week has been quickly followed by several Onyxes, and a couple of others. The best attempt was made by a HIC accompanied by a number of Ishtars (I didn't get the exact count but it was at least 4). On my arrival the Ishtars bracketed the spot I declaoked and started swapping drones with each other. They managed to criss-cross the space I had been in quite nicely.
Fortunately for me I had moved 5 or 6km outside the bracket in the few seconds it took them to set it up so they missed but it was a scary moment to see all those objects flitting around so close.
It was a dead-end station system too so the only way out was past the camp they had. Unfortunately RL intervened and I had to put the kids to bed. When I got back an hour later I was 5000km off the gate in a random direction and they'd packed up the camp and gone home. Departure was uneventful.

Finally to answer "what's your favourite region?" I'd have to say the North East has been the most friendly and the South the most interesting / hair raising.
There have been individual exceptions to that, with much props to Morsus Mihi for their dedication and over-reaction to a single Cov Ops (hunting a Cov Ops with a carrier, several interdictors and assorted other ships does seem a little excessive, at least from the Cov Ops' pilot's point of view!)

Well, Catch was ... intersting. A standings mixup has been semi sorted now so I no longer assume everyone around me is friendly. Kinda freaky flying through a system full of blues and have them treat me as red. Good thing my natural paranoia means I didn't try to cozy up to any of them.
I haven't been logged the last couple of posts so my notes weren't available. There's quite a bit in them now so I'll dump it here just to keep the size down :)
On to Querious! (makes me think of Don Quixote for some reason)
Curse. Archangel and Serpentis stations everywhere. Nearly got myself killed by rats because I forgot to jump and was watching my wife play a game on her 'puta next to me. She's more dangerous than the gate camps...
Moved through OSHT-A today. Isn't there a corp named after this place?
The Angels have some pretty stations. Pity they don't like me very much. Seems the same with the residents. Either that or they don't like anyone very much. Not a great deal of conversation to be had, even in busy systems.
Jorund? Utopia? What are named systems doing out here?
Hmmm ... in Catch now. F4R2-Q. It's just asking to be F4R-Q2!
Finished Catch now too. IAC gets points for the best response to my presence so far: [14:20:34] Darkmist Starpain > Ooooh tourists! [14:20:45] * Darkmist Starpain dusts the chair and table quickly

I stopped and chatted there. We chewed the fat, he went and got the wine & girls (he is IAC after all). And I mean that quite literally. He dropped off a can near the gate with Spiced Wine, Exotic Dancers, and a copy of Pax Amarria, I guess in case I was that way inclined.
It was a pleasant evening and well worth the delay. I'm carrying those items now ... until I get podded again :)

So I logged back in while at work today to see if anything interesting was happening. Shrike and 100 other BOBites are in system.
I'm staying well and truly cloaked & safed now.

Staying safe was boring. I now have photos of Shrike's Avatar, along with an Erebus and various other BIG ships.
Makes for a much more interesting travel diary. Glad I logged on from work this afternoon.

Well, Querious is behind me. Nothing nearly as exciting as seeing 2 Titans happened in the rest of the trip. Saw my first Amarr HIC (a Devoter) though. Just 3 0.0 regions to go - Stain, Solitude, and Syndicate. I've parked tonight in 0.6 in Khanid. It's a strange feeling having all those CONCORD ships around. I haven't posted this in a while - Lots of coloured in bits :)

I keep doing that. Solitude is Empire. Providence is the 3rd 0.0 region still remaining. Stain is my main target. It's the one that puts the big hole through my coverage in the south.
