So basically you're saying it's likely nothing remarkable at all.

...

Excuse me, sir, for actually acting on the ramblings and lazy requests here. Maybe you'd like to get off your backside and undock before you go telling people to "go **** themselves" and insinuating they're dipshits for trying to encourage people to get out there amongst it and actually find some answers.


Describing the dot in question as "140 degrees to the left" or even "nothing remarkable" requires undocking. Of course, to repeat yet again,

Its most notable feature is that it is relatively easy to find moving from system to system.

Moving from system to system requires, of course, undocking. A static image of the dot in question will not reveal interesting information. There are many stars that behave like this. How many becomes apparent when you move from system to system trying to find a particular one. After undocking. That is actually an engaging exercise in and of itself, quite apart from the question of whether or not this or that star is going to blow up.

Perhaps more people would be "encouraged" to do such things if suggestions that doing so were not met with a parade of sneering. If the star doesn't blow up, those people would then nevertheless have gained a deeper appreciation for the complexity of the blinky lights in the sky.

Wow, what drugs are you on?

Give Kensa a break.

This topic already started off as a joke and now you're sitting there admitting that this "thing" is actually "nothing"? Not even worth taking a static picture of or looking at, in fact it looks and behaves no different from any other star unless viewed moving from system to system? Film the thing then, or take a series of shots, such as Chibi did.

Sneering is one thing, Limoges, but you watch your language and insults directed at my mistress' family's pilots unless you'd like to put them where that fat mouth of yours is while you're on grid with them.

THERE'S BLINKY LIGHTS IN THE SKY!?!?

Uh-huh.

One: the "unless viewed moving from system to system" aspect is more than "nothing."

Two: observing the behavior of variable stars for their own sake is also more than "nothing."

Three: I'm in Arnon. Want to blow up a venture? Come on over.

Putting you out of your misery is probably the best solution.

I'm on my way now in fact, but I notice conveniently you're not in your capsule anymore ...

Feel free to jump back in. I'm assuming you're offering to accept a duel request, or do I have to resort to ganking you?

Caroline's star was visible everywhere, breaking laws of physics. It was unique and breathtaking by its degree event, that could happen only by divine intervention.
Whatever object appeared in Luminaire sky, doesn't look to appear in other skies, and thus is probably just a creation of Federal heretic hands without any divine power.


Actually, I saw it again in the Jita System, yet it was smaller. And again in the Ekura. However, when I went into Amsen and then returned to Ekura, it was gone. It seems to disappear and reappear around certain parts of the cluster.

We are Toralen Industries. It doesn't matter if you fight for money, idealogies, or because it's what you are good at and it doesn't matter if you fight threw trade, combat, or diplomacy. No matter what or how you fight, there's a place for you.

Duel, whatever. Moon Three, Sisters station.

Update:

So, death occurred. It was interesting that the blasters on a Proteus initially had some difficulty hitting the venture. I expected more or less instant vaporization. By the time I figured I might as well try to move around in the webifier, however, they connected - and instant vaporization. The Proteus is much more attractive than the other Tech 3 cruisers. It is pleasing to get vaporized by a work of art. Mlle. is also attractive. A double win.

I regret clouding up her kill with some random thug. I was reluctant to decline the second duel invite on the chance that he was connected. I should have gone to a non-hub station, perhaps.

Well, Mr Limoges you may have insulted a woman but you had the courage to stand and face one when she came at you. You've redeemed your honor in my eyes and my Mistress' family also I'm sure. I'm surprised and impressed.

Dying to The Banana is a classy way to go too, probably even find yourself in my Boss's next wormhole diary.

Fly fun and, as we say in the wormhole Galnet community, "watch your tongue" out there.

No one cared about distant stars around here until a Capsuleer got one named after them.
