Around New Eden - Day 7

I've finally completed the Curse region and moved into the next region, Great Wildlands. You can read about it here:

Around New Eden - Day 8

Curse was mostly easy, mostly empty. I'm wondering if Great Wildlands will be similar. It's a lot bigger than Curse, so it's going to take me longer to complete before I move on to the next region.

Around New Eden - Day 9

So far it's looking like Great Wildlands is quieter than Curse... Is there anyone that actually lives out there?

Around New Eden - Day 11

I have to say that the sights I've seen in Day 11 have been pretty freakin' amazing! Check out the photos, you might like these sights too.

Around New Eden - Day 12

It's a lot of fun finding things we take for granted and taking photos of them in new and interesting ways. Well, it is for me.... :)

Are there any kind souls out there that would like to help me as I continue travelling, in exchange for ISK and being mentioned in my blog?

1) I'm travelling around the galaxy in a covert ops ship. I need a Nemesis stealth bomber to do some ratting in. Would someone in the Great Wildlands or Cache regions like to fit a Nemesis for me, and then contract it to me for market value + 20% for doing this for me?

2) While I can 'hide out' with the stealth bomber when necessary, it would also be great to be set blue to some friendly alliance in Great Wildlands or Cache so I can do some ratting in their area of space. Is there anyone out there that would like to extend me this friendliness?

I'd be very appreciative. :)

@CCP Spitfire and @CCP Zymurgist hey, thanks for dropping by! Maybe you could contact the Jovian Ambassador for me to arrange a meeting where we can discuss an authorised photo shoot through Jove space for purposes of public relations? I think it's been 8 or so years since they let anyone in. Maybe they'd be open to it again by now?


I've been pondering the same request, wondering if something like that could be worked out.


I'm actually planning to file such a request via Arek'Jaalan, not that I expect it will go anywhere.

Kudos to Black Claw for taking on this huge exploration challenge!

Great Wildlands is amazingly dead. Then again, so are Esoteria and Paragon Soul.

Hey @Rhavas, thanks for the links. I know of all of them, but you've inspired me to add them all to my blog as 'fellow travellers'.

Does anyone have a Proteus hull in Great Wildlands or Cache that they'd like to sell me? It might be a little while before I raise cash but if you can give me a decent price, I'd be happy to buy it from you.

Please send me an evemail in-game if you want to discuss adding subsystems and/or fittings.

Thanks guys

Help me fit a Proteus

Now that I've had some excellent donations from some people, and I'm finishing the final skills to jump in my new Proteus, I thought I'd get some suggestions from you guys out there on how best to fit a Proteus for my needs.

Gratz on the Proteus. I am currently training Gallente Cruiser V. I have about 14 days until I can buy one for my very own.

I managed to get it safely undocked and back into Great Wildlands. Now to enjoy some ratting in this very quiet region!

You're going to love your Proteus when you get it. It would be great if one day we can fly together, two Proteus's flying through the galaxy.

Seems I forgot to link to a couple posts. Sorry about that! I must have got all excited about the Proteus and forgot everything else...

@Poetic Stanziel Nice! I've also added your blog to www.evebloggers.com

So I did a bit of research and found that someone by the name of Jeran Tek has gone through every system in the galaxy only a year after I first wanted to do it back in 2006.... *sigh*

But anyway, I'll be doing it a bit different over the next few months (or years!). I'll be taking photos of every interesting attraction in every system of Eve, and tagging them with the attraction name (where they have names, that is), and the system and region names. This should allow a 'database' of attractions per system and region that people can look at.

It's a shame that the Jovians didn't let Jeran into their regions, so they probably won't let me in either. Oh, the photos I could take......


that aussie radio dude also visited every system in eve.

@Stonecold Steve who was that? I'd like to track him down and see if I can find any record of his own travels
