Firkragg, when I start seeing lots of KOS around I'll make sure I say hello.
Detorid is quiet this time of day. Few locals other than the station system I saw earlier. Nice treat there though. Got a photo of a Thanatos leaving the station. Always fun to watch.
They were wary but friendly enough. I guess 1 Cheetah isn't a threat to a Thanatos :)

Detorid seems smaller than it is. Maybe I didn't have to backtrack nearly as much as I have been. Off to Tenerifis.
Anyway. Goons have been nice. Several stopped to chat and I got a good photo of a Thanatos at one station :)
Today's milestone - seeing Detorid moved me from 24% to 26% of the galaxy visited. Over a quarter of the way there in only 3 weeks!
Notes from today:
While I was sitting planning my route through Insmother:
vincent011 > I think you should leave as soon as possible. . . Otherwise there will be a lot of people want to kill you. . You understand. .
This place is HUGE!
110 systems, 160 jumps to see it all.
Here endeth the mother.
Found a system in Detorid: FR4G-E "frage" = German for "Question"
Found a friendly goon as well. SamHandwich let me know I should watch out for his buddies who would operate on an NBSI policy and weren't as nice as he was. Always pleasant to find someone so concerned for my wellbeing :)
Giacomo Carissimi was happy to sit and listen to war stories too. I'm starting to like it around here.

Note to self: When meeting Knights of the Southercross I shouldn't call them "KOS" in local. It tends to muddy the water a little.
Very glad for the cloak at that one.

And Tenerifis is a thing of the past. Firkragg buddy? Sorry but I didn't see you amongst the crowds.
Notes from the day:
Skill change at the entrance to Tenerifis.
Met a player called "Rolk's Drift". Ahh the memories.
Found Knights of the Southerncross homelands. They were quite happy to let me in. Out? Even the camp they had on the way in was gone.

I must say this is a pretty cool endeavor. Beats sitting in a station spinning your ship.
Anyway, I'd be interested in a summary once you've hit the end of your tour to see if there is any major differences in tone or atmosphere between regions. Or if all of 0.0 seems pretty much the same.
Granted, it's not as in depth a study as Innonimate Nightmare's, but interesting none the less.

Congratulations Roy! You're the first person in 3 pages to mention Innominate Nightmare. I was wondering how long it would take.
I am nothing like as eloquent as IN. I'm not writing a saga of a low-SP pilot alone in the great dark. I'm just a tourist with a camera and an urge to wander.
It just happens that I'm dangerously obsessive and filling in ALL the dots is the logical extension of "wandering".

The colours. They catch me. Only 1.5 regions to go now.
Still slowly moving through Feyth. The locals are definitely friendly.

Feythabolis is behind me. Only Omist remains from the initial 22 regions.
It was pretty quiet.
Notes from today:
Nothing much of note in this part of Feyth. unless you count the station "Ebay Prime"
I met RedTechie today who suggested I was EVE's equivalent of "Desert Bus". At least I can take breaks when I want to.
"Freebooter's Haven" in BJD4-E is still a fixed complex. Plenty of big Angels in the first room. I wonder what it's like further in...

Wrote a long and involved comment about coming to the end of Omist and my 22-region loop around the outside but the forums ate it because I took too long.
So that's it.
I'm 35% through the regions and 30% through the systems.
Time to move inwards to the 0.0/Empire boundary. This could get hairy.

Something useful from the economic Dev Blog:
"Overall there are 227 outposts owned by 114 corporations in 0.0 space where there are almost 2,900 solar systems."
From my point of view that means I'm more than half-way through my 0.0 wanderings.
I've been to over 1500 systems in 0.0

Well Iobviously chose a good time to slip through Immensea.
More than half the place is visited and I've seen about 10 pilots.

Not a lot to see in Immensea.
The natives are mostly French or Russian speaking so not much to talk about either.
My travelling notes reveal a couple of bright points:
Whoops. Just came out of a dead-end system and noticed a can that said "Warning!!! Next system is closed for the visits!!! No jumping to QN-6J2!!!"
One day I'll pay more attention to those things ... but not today.
Immensea is pretty quiet this weekend. half way 'round and I've found fewer than 10 people.
Gotta lotta TCF around this area. Not much conversation in English.
Quite a bit of United Legion. I suppose I have a choice between learning French or Russian.
Dodged a Crow on a gate and got this in local:
[12:57:44] Vandalzzz > wanna round 2?
[12:58:06] Vandalzzz > jump back
I told him where I was going next and waited for him but his phone rang and it was my bed time so we never got the rematch.

4th Death today wandering through Catch.
Connection started playing up. I should know better.
Congrats "misses x" on killing a stationary Cheetah with a Vagabond :)
Did you know IAC lets you dock if you pay up? I paid 400 ISK for the privelege of chatting with them afterwards.
And I got my revenge. The Ibis I was given on docking did at least 6 points of damage to someone when I left.
Far more respect to General Grendal - at least it was combat :)

mudders. Don't sweat it. I'm traipsing about in 0.0 where people tend to enforce NBSI.
I'm annoyed that I got disconnected entering the system, not that someone shot at me :)

I'm taking a break for a day or two - It's going to take a bit for me to start trusting my connection again - so I'm flying around touching Tash Murkon. It's been my home for so long as a mission runner that you'd think I'd covered most of it but no. I have over 120 jumps to visit all the untouched stars.
Still, it's one of the bigger places. It'll kick me over 33% when I'm done :)

Jesum: Welcome to the ride.
Well. That was probably the most boring 2 hours I've ever spent in EVE. I'm going back to 0.0!
At least there's some challenge to be had in the flight there!
I'll have to do the empire runs eventually but I'm not up to it at the moment.

Well, back in the "interesting" area of space. Only a couple of half-hearted attempts to stop me - the usual 1 or 2 intys on a gate, an occasionaly mobile bubble. That kind of thing. A set of 5 or 6 BCs on a gate just counts as loitering with intent to become target practice. I met that twice.
Great Wildlands has been visited. Geminate beckons. It's a little smaller so maybe I can get through it quickly before I head back into the Drone lands.
Notes from the last couple of days:
Catch is ahead of me. There are already lines across it.
So many systems here. At least I should get started.
There's an IAC station. Did you know you can charge a docking fee? This place wanted to.
Here endeth my Catch notes for now. Disconnected and destroyed. I'll be back later.
Tash Murkon. Someone kill me. Kill me now. This agony must end.
Great Wildlands now. Decent sized gatecamp on the 0.0 entry. They were friendly enough. At least 2 of them waved:
[22:51:30] Elitist > .i.
[22:52:18] Ekaterina Evelina > ..|.. -__- ..|..
Elitist was flying the Flycatcher.
OJOS-T is 270+ AU across
There's a can at one of the gates: "In memory of all the brave pilots who have lost their lives attempting to traverse the chasm" :)
What is it with this place and big crowds in dead-end systems? That's the 4th I've found with nothing on the overview and 15+ people in local.
Great Wildlands is done. Geminate or filling in the Drone lands. Geminate I think - nice and small.
lol ... the last system in the Great Wildlands tells me "You are now leaving the Dungar Zone"

Had some time off today so I slipped through Geminate as well.
Vale of Silence now I think.
I'd leave today's notes but the DT is upon us.

Vale of the Silent is big. 118 systems. 180 jumps to see it all.
Wow. Got under way. 150 to go. Sometimes this task feels huge.
Notes, as promised:
Geminate. I like ROADKILL.
[07:42:06] Riddal > group hug at the gate before you go!
There are some named systems in Geminate.
When I got to Roua I had to do a double-take to make sure I hadn't wandered off course somehow.
Hmmm. There must be a story behind why it is the only named system in a 0.0 region.
An Arazu followed me for a bit but I warp faster :)
You can see my abortive attempt at Catch if you look closely.

Vale of the Silent is over. That would have hurt if Trinity hadn't arrived in the middle.
I spent the last 100 or so jumps cloaking, & uncloaking, & cloaking again just to see the effect.
Oh and the stations are all new & stuff.
Life is good.
With that done though my stats are looking up.
40% of all systems, 67% of 0.0 systems, 43% of the regions.
I think low-sec is going to be the hardest to do. Enough danger that I have to pay attention. Little enough to be uninteresting.
Ah well. Cross that gate when I come to it.
Not many notes from today:
Hydra are a boring lot. Hardly a word between them.
System called P3EN-E looks disturbingly like e-peen to me.

Salute to Morsus Mihi. I'm in Tribute now and they have been the quickest to respond to my presence by far.
I entered their space and there was a Sabre nearby. He kept harassing me as I went further in. 2 systems later I found a station hub and as is my wont I went to photograph it.
While I was there they launched a Flycatcher, an Eris, and a Thanatos (great photos, btw) along with various other ships.
They stationed the 'dictors on the gates out and set the fighters escorting ships around them.
Eventually I chose an exit route (following my pre-ordained path) and managed to hit the gate while his bubble was down.
That wasn't the end of it. The ships on that gate followed me through and launched a bubble straight away. I managed to evade them on that exit but they got a couple of ships with drones within 12km.
That system was a 2-gater so they knew where I was going and set up on the gate beyond. New graphics weren't being nice so FPS was low while the bubbles were up but usually that was after I'd given my move & cloak commands.
Thanks pilots. That was the best entry to a region I've had yet. May Tribute continue to deliver.

Well, Tribute settled down after that. Only a few half-hearted attempts to chase me down in a 'dictor from Morsus pilots. I'll say one thing for the place. It was never boring.
A good variety of stations to take new pictures of too.
But as is the way of all good things they must eventually come to an end.
Tribute is complete. I just passed my 2000 count of unique 0.0 systems visited. Less than 1000 to go :)
Notes are sparse again:
Morsus Mihi made my entry to Tribute intersting.
Sabre, Eris, Flycatcher, Thanatos were amongst my welcoming party. 3 systems they chased me across.
