Well Delve is done, Fountain is just as big. More people objecting to my presence here. Where "objecting" == "sending Crows and Sabres after me" Not been caught yet. Closest was when I had to dodge all the frozen corpses on the way out from the gate.
I'll leave the map for a few days before I update it.
Notes from today:
Delve is an incredible mix of people from all different sides of EVE. Most of them want to kill the rest of the place and have it for themselves but they're content to keep slaughtering each other indefinitely it seems. When I asked about it this is the response I got:
fantce > we shower each other with flowers and coton candy
fantce > come hear ill shower u
I declined politely. I had places to be. Such as:
Notify Warping to The Ken Lay Memorial School of Economics
Description "In loving memory of the master accountant himself."
However it was not an open market. I moved on.
Some imaginative naming going on out here:
The School of Machiavellian Philosophy
The Tin Foil Hat Assembly Plant
Here endeth the Delving.
Went to Serpentis Prime today. Fountain is the next region on my list.
Serpentis Prime has some cool Caldari & Minmatar NPC stations
Found a Warning Sign within a gate that says "Warning. Watch out for the sign" Awesome.
RIP DarkElf. Found his memorial station tonight. Respect.

Well, there's my first lag-death. I can see plenty more where that came from.
Arrived at a gate with 3 little ships, no bubble. Shouldn't be a problem.
Check my angles, pick a direction to go off in. Start ship, F1, F2 to activate the MWD & cloak.
Nothing.
Ship starts moving and decloaks but modules don't fire.
Ships start targetting. I'm dead. Not a chance once that happens.
MWD finally kicks in and Aura says "You are unable to cloak because you are being targetted"
That's nice, Aura, but my cloak should have been active 7 seconds ago when I asked you to do it.
Oh well. Now how to get back out to the middle of Fountain in the current situation.

Took me half a day but I got back there.
No serious attempts to stop me after that one.
Fountain is history. Outer Ring, here we come. I've always wondered how much a Covetor BPO would cost ...

It's been a busy day.
I was stuck at home watching some nice men install an Air Conditioner. Nothing to do but flit around in EVE.
So:
Outer Ring is boring - nothing happens there, nobody talks much, at least not the times that I was there.
The one highlight was a station type I've not seen before.
Cloud Ring is similar - pretty small and not very populated at my playtimes. The one Russian I saw said I was lucky all his countrymen were asleep.
Pure Blind? What is it with this place??
It's full, by which I mean I met at least 6 of these guys, full of people flying some sort of Interdictor with nothing better to do than fly around hoping they'll find a lone frigate of some sort to kill. Salute to all you Pure Blind pilots - you live in an active gank zone. Plenty of fun to be around.
In addition the natives are always willing to chat (when they're not baying for your blood) so there's plenty of friendly people out there.
Ah well... on to Fade next.
I got a good shot of that green skyscraper I keep talking about too but this would have to be my winner so far:
Mordu's Legion

Oh yes. Notes from today:
Awww ... isn't that cute?
"ATF Territory: Unauthorized Tresspassers Are Prohibited" on a small secure can. I wonder if they mean me?
Hmmm ... found another one. So am I inside or outside their territory now?? And another, and another. Oh I'm so confused.
And that's it for Cloud Ring. Hardly worth the bother, really.
Pure Blind promises to be more interesting. I hope.
First docakble station of the trip. Woohoo! Hitchhikers fans with Freelancer leanings are the best!
Scary moment for the day - activating a gate and finding a Sabre coming through the other way. He turned around pretty fast. Came within 6km on the exit on the other side, too.

I'm still looking for a count of systems in each region.
I'm starting to think I'll have to do it myself. What is this? The stone age? Surely someone with more time on their hands than me has already done this and posted it on teh interwebs?

Escobar, the cat a mouse is always a pleasure. A man can be judged by the tenor of his foes.
I'm beginning to think I severely overestimated the magnitude of this task.
So far in 9 days I have visited 11 entire 0.0 regions. I noticed this because the great ring around the edge of the galaxy contains 22 regions. I feel like I'm half-way through the first leg of my journey.
Missing 4 whole regions - I was busy today: Impass to Outer Ring

Well if http://eve.allakhazam.com/db/map.html is right about the number of systems in each region then:
There are 66 regions and 5382 systems.
I have completed 11 regions comprising of 706 systems.
That is 17% of the regions and 13% of the systems.
I am going to have a problem though - 3 of the regions are in Jove space. Never mind. Cross that bridge when I come to it.

I don't get much time to play on weekends so this picture has almost caught up with me.

Hmmm ... Tenerifis is about 12 systems away on my current plan. If you still remember who I am by then, look me up.
And now I have to say a big hello and thank you to the lovely pilots from CPU and BLOB alliances. The gate camp you ran out there in Branch was top-notch. Theif it, I appreciate the advice to log for 12 hours but where is the point in that? Play time on the weekends is short enough as it is.
Anyway, if Aertes had been a couple of km further down the bubble then I would have been toast.
As it was the decloaking was very close to the wire. You need to find a way to get the fighters to orbit a bit further out from the gate. By the time I was in range of them I was close enough to jump. GG :D
Now a couple of other things: how many carriers did you have in system? I couldn't count all the fighters but it has to have been at least 2. The 'ceptors with the fighters in tow were your best chance to catch me but they need to mix up their orbits a bit. I think you can just give the orbit command again and it will pick a different line.
Thanks again gentlebeings. Best fun I've had on this trip so far. Of course I was far too pumped to take any photos. I will have to get better at that.

Thank you Ironass. Pleasure to chat with you.
Well, Branch was definitely the most interesting stage of the journey so far. I was starting to think I would get bored with seeing the same things over and over, then they throw a party with 20-30 ships, complete with a Large Mobile Warp Disruptor II and fighter-wielding interceptors.
Later in the day it was more calm with some nice conversations from Razor and Mostly Harmless pilots.
They all wanted to warn me about Morhus Mihi or some such down in Tribute but that's aworry for another day. They're inside the outer ring from here so I won't be there for at least a month, probably more like 2 or 3.
Sadly Branch is now behind me, and Tenal ahead. What wonders await in the depths of the North?

A total emptiness of space i'm afraid... the CPU / Insuregency fight is in branch area. ALOT of rzr pilots are down south shooty shooty FIX & BoB. Besides, nothing ever happens in tenal since Branch was rid of reds.

Yup. Completely right on all accounts.
Tenal ofered the opportunity for me to meet GAGEO - a bunch of nomads who were hanging out in the region as I passed through.
There were few actual residents around for any of my fly-bys.
Now the map gets interesting. I was hoping CONCORD would have gotten around to naming these regions before I got here. Into the Drone chaos I go...

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.

As you can see by the visitors Mostly Harmless and Rule of Three seem to be the residents in the Drone region I wandered through yesterday.
They were mostly friendly and only a few of them tried to hunt me. No bubbles so obviously they were just out to play.
And Phoenix, I did come and say hi to your outpost. It was on the visit before the one where you said Hi though. I'll usually warp in at 20-30km to watch the Hulks scramble home and get decent photos. I'm getting a bit blase about the different conquerable stations by now. I have a great screensaver though - it flicks through all the different images in my EVE screenshots directory.
Fairly scant notes from the past few days:
Santiago Fahahrri ... interesting group. I must learn more.
How strange. An empty system with 4 Mobile Large Warp Disruptor I's and a GSC labelled "Told you not to =)". No one else in system.
Into the Drone lands. A frindly warning from Hyuman that I will be shot on sight. At least they talk to you out here.

6HL8-L has been seen.
The natives are a talkative bunch. Very monocultural out here at the moment. Possibly because there aren't any shooting wars going on. Down south there was always a spy or cyno alt or something around that didn't match the sov of the area. Here they're almost all from the same groups.
Notes from the field:
New region. First station I found is Ka-Tet. Friendly enough but "move along please, we don't want to have to shoot you."
There's a system here more than 180AU from gate to gate. Poor little Cheetah only does 90 on a full cap.
At least it's easy to make a deep safe.
Today's fun - watching a Domi unload and abandon drones for an Ishkur to pick up. At least, I don't think the Ishkur has the drone space for 5 drones...
Gravydoo from Rampage Eternal asked for a special mention. o/
It's very monocultural out here. Down south there are always weirdos from other alliances hanging around in little dead-ends, presumably cyno alts or spies or the like.
QFRV-2 had a gang of 4 who logged the moment I arrived. I wonder what they were up to??

I've just seen VU-WU2 (who names these places, anywawy??). I must have been flying in the Russians' downtime because I saw almost no residents. Those few I did find almost all had cyrillic BIOs. I'm guessing this is going to be the norm for the rest of the circuit.
The only thing of interest was the system H4X-01. Do I hear h4XXorz amongst the drones?

One more thing. It appears that a couple of the systems I visited early on haven't been flagged. I can see in my chat logs that I entered them but they're not lit up. I've seen 1 confirmed and 3 more I need to check on another machine (I play from more than one so my chat logs are in multiple places). If it stays at only a few I'll head out and touch them again when I'm done with this circuit.

The map also seems to have a cut off date. Went to look at mine and according to the map what I've considered to be my 'home' constellation in EVE for awhile doesn't even light up though I've got kill-mails proving I've been in every system of that constellation.  . Also means I don't get to look at that pretty trail of dots going from when I traveled from the north to the south along the eastern edge of 0.0  . Hell according to the map I've never actually been in the North.

Apparently the map was only fixed recently. I'm kinda testing that :)
Anyway. Cache is a small place. The locals are friendly and don't ty to shoot you much. Plenty of Cyrillic in the BIOs again.
Notes from the day:
Small can on a gate with "Through this gate lies The Dungar Zone"
There are others scattered around the area: "Highway to the Dungar Zone", "Now leaving the Dungar Zone"
I finally took a look at one. It was dropped by Dungar Loghoth :)
Cache is pretty small. The locals reasonably friendly (all of them waved rather than opening fire) but not English speaking as a rule.

Well, there's been a weekend and I spend time with my family on weekends so there's been a poor lost Cheetah in the back of Insmother for several days now.
At least it's given my map time to catch up with me.
It seems that 6HL8-L doesn't seem to want to be tagged so there's a bigger hole up the North West than should be there because of Jove space. Here it is anyway:

It's been a long weekend. Finally wandered through Insmother. Lots of Russians but not much aggression. Could it be that they're not slavering 2-headed monsters after all??
Detorid seems to be next.
