You do realise its all pixels right?

Youre not actually moving anywhere, its all pixels.

Theres nothing to circumnavigate.

A CCP DEV could do it for you in a second just programming it and press enter.

I am planning on doing a tour of New Eden and have decided on a circumnavigation.

My source of revenue to date while playing Eve has been exploration. What I have noticed in my game play is when I get about 100+ million in the hold I get pretty anxious about getting my booty back to market.

My question to the community is do you think I should do my circumnavigation in a ship like an astero or helios so that I can hack relic sites on the way? If I choose this option I will likely end up with a lot of loot and I will be hard pressed not to take it all back to market. Or should I go with an interceptor which is immune to bubbles (I have another 10 days of training to go before I can fly one). The interceptor route would be safer but I wouldn't be able to hack so it wouldn't be so lucrative/stressful.

I guess my dilemma is should my goal be a safer more likely circumnavigation to achieve the tourism goal alone? Or should I add an element of reward/risk to increase the challenge?

Your thoughts on the matter are appreciated?



Advisory: Don't talk in local when you are out there in nullsec.
10 minutes of "OMG PWNNOONPHAG GTFO H0N0RT8NKUDIE IDIDYOURMOTHER" and you will wish you had the codes to launch every nuke on the planet and exterminate the human race.

I'm being nice here. I've seen things that would make your eyes bleed. The worst part is those people are still out there, somewhere.

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

I am deeply shocked. Are you also saying that when I play SimCity that I am not building a real life city? Or when I play World of Tanks I haven't been destroying real tanks? Hold on... that means that Alien who has been terrorizing me in Alien Isolation hasn't really been eating my face off.

For your goals, and current situation an ares or other fast aligning interceptor set for sub 2.0 align will work very well. They scan well with decent skills and sisters launcher and probes with scanning rigs.

They are also quite capable of hacking sites, you will fail more than you like, but that's the tradeoff.

An astero in null will die eventually, not all the time, but enough that an entire EVE circumnavigation will become annoying.


Good luck with your adventure, the Astero will serve you well in the meantime.

Circumnavigation not possible!
New Eden is flat...Watch that sharp drop off in Cobalt Edge.

Good luck

Civil discourse is uniquely human. After all, when is the last time a pride of lions and a herd of water buffalo negotiated SOV over a watering hole? Never. Someone either gets their ass kicked or eaten. At the end of the day someone holds SOV.

Circumnavigation just means you're going around in a circle. It can also apply to travelling around on a single island or continent (and those are flat, too).

So no problem with circumnavigating New Eden, just start uh... in Cobalt Edge or something, and go around in a large circle!

I still haven't trained interceptors yet but am almost there. It definitely feels as though I could die on any given jump in the Astero. I have nervous tension on each jump. I am almost on Cobalt Blue now. Is there something I should be aware of there? Lots of gate camps or something?

And I died. Astero got caught in gate camp. I had made it almost exactly half way around the map. I regret my fit now - should have gone with a micro warp drive over an AB.

I got caught by the locals in Tenerifis and they got about 70 million of loot plus stuff off the ship.

I am going to finish the journey in an interceptor.

Have No regrets, you should feel a real pride in achieving what so many dream of trying, to go so far in an astero is quite an achievement. You will feel much more relaxed in a fast align interceptor, I like the ares.
Fit for align UNDER two seconds, and add a T2 hyperspatial and fit the remaining slots to resists and tank.

Carry a depot and analysers in cargo and refit when in "safer" areas.

Your only main risk is smart-bombs if it looks fishy don't warp directly gate to gate.

You are witnessing the universe, don't forget to have fun :)

The only regret that I have is that I didn't make it around all in one go. But dying did not surprise me (or annoy me) at all in the Astero. I have covered my costs of the trip already with loot that I have stashed in NPC stations along the way.

My current dilemma is that I want to do a full circuit without missing any systems. That means that I have to go back to the spot that I died and my killers are very likely to still be there. I dont want to die to the same guys twice!

Mission completed. A full circumnavigation. Died once in the Astero. Bust through a number of gate camps. So much easier to do with an interceptor. Got chased a fair number of times. Found a bunch of loot. But now I have to collect it all. What should I do next?

Next is exactly what you said.

Get all your loot back to Jita or Amarr or wherever your base is.

After that... visit every wormhole system. If you want to really challenge yourself... anchor an object in every wormhole systm saying "Menamanama was here"

Gratz on circumventing the outer rim of the Eve Universe.

Back in the day it was a 'Rite Of Passage' for newish players to anchor a small Secure Container with their name and date on it at the Eve Gate in the system of New Eden, located in Genesis Region.

https://evetravel.wordpress.com/page/26/

For more Tourist sites, scroll down on that page to 'Past Travelogues', use the drop down menu to select the oldest date and then backtrack from there.

If you wanna do the Tourist thing, I suggest you use a cloaker ship, take screen shots and document each step of your journey.

Good luck and may you have much success in whatever you decide to do.
