Thanks, I'm generally pretty timid about releasing things I work on but the feedback has been pretty good this time over all. Thanks for reading it :)

once you get good, you can call it "mastering the unknown: maximizing isk/hr in exploration."

Half-joking. Because a lot of us old explorers like to think we know every trick in the book for the various sites.

Not bad, this is good for future reference actually.

What skills do you have?

Well that explains it, that is over 4 to 7 months of work.

too much RP (some is fine) and not enough loot-pron and screenshots of burning hulls and red crosses for my taste. I'd be interested if you detailed potential danger spots in plexes, as well has posted detailed accounting of sigs scan, sigs ran, and loot acquired from each.

Accounts of interactions with other players is good (even if its just involves running a gatecamp or seeing another explorer).

No sense trying to please me if that isn't the vision you have, however.

It's also WAY overkill for high sec and even most of low sec exploration, you can make it work in empire with significantly less SP in scanning.

I enjoyed reading, quite creative, definitely liked the pictures!

My blog would be like, undocked, scanned some cosmic signatures, hacked stuff, went home.

I like it.

It's nice to have a bit of a story to go with the actual game events rather than reading some blogs that are more like a statement of events rather than a story if you get my meaning. I try to do the same with with my own blog. Add a bit of story to what I've been doing in game.

Keep it going \o/

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.

I have to catch up on exploring as I will need more rewards for indy and manufacturing (or sale of BP).

From what I read in a few mins, I really like it.

It lets others know the perils of being an explorer, the good loot and bad loot, (data sheets urgh!!)


Keep up the good work.
