EVE General Discussion

What a remarkable read. As I sit here never ever undocking from jita 4 I dream that I too was possessed of such carefree innocence as our unique tourist. But I am filled with the fear and the cynicism that age brings.

I wait impatiently for more words of your travels. Your blend of naivety and bravery is a beauty to behold. Perhaps one day, when all of new eden has been made safe. Safe from orgiasts and perpetrators of violence and when a decent but not to expensive hotel chain is opened, then perhaps I will take the Bus Tour "the TwoFlower Tour".

In fact why should I wait for it to be available, I shall start spamming Jita with my sales pitch already.

So my Son go forth and Travel, I shall enjoy the read perhaps you will even make me some Isk..


Yours in Admiration

Anthony Blunt

Thank you to everyone who has suggested locations for me to visit in my daring travels, whether they be legitimate tourist hotspots or just new places for me to be podded.

I am in the process of compiling a nice big list of my chosen destinations, so the astute amongst you can point me in the right direction if I have missed any. Though, I won't be flying them in any order that makes sense to the common man! Twoflower Octiron goes where the pearwood takes him!

When i went to eve gate it was a quiet time of day and the one person i saw had somehow messed up his avatar to look all grotesque and toothy. Kind of a jolt.
Idly reading descriptions i happened upon Konora, which still claims that a black hole is visible from that system, went there, found the usual lowsec silliness and -10 dude who spams fleet invites.


Some location descriptions are just words, but no journey is worthless.

And has more groupies!

A wonderful adventure: Where to go next?

Sorry, this is not the next part, per se. It is however an integral process for this most epic of journeys. As I mentioned before, I want to visit two kinds of places:
- All major alliances/alliances with intriguing names and to get a photograph of their home station (or whichever I claim to be the home station) and to hopefully meet some of their pilots
- Interesting, rare, hard to access or beautiful locations across the entirety of the universe.

Unfortunately, I know so little about New Eden so I rely somewhat on your help for picking the best places to go. I have identified 28 alliances that meet my stringent conditions and will visit these in a random and unpredictable order.
I have also identified some intriguing exciting locations to visit with the help of respondents in this thread. I have also compiled a wishlist of things I'd like to see or do - Here I may need some help in identifying precisely where i might access some of these. Others, I am content to fly around until I run into it!

This totals 57 locations to visit. 100 is the upper limit, so please suggest 43 other places to go or cool things to do:

Again, good read! Keep it up!

Part 6: Executive Decisions

Clearly the signal that I had followed to this system was a joke by some prankster who was at this very moment hiding behind a veldspar rock, laughing at me. I powered my shuttle down, crawled into bed and didn't leave it for a week. I brooded, brooded, slept and brooded some more.

Then it hit me!

The veldpsar rock that is.

I woke with a start.

I'd also had an epiphany. Who has ever heard of mystical signals? Who ever got anywhere by having it handed to them? Who doesn't have to work to become the best? The answer is of course: ghost hunters, aristocrats and geniuses. I, however, was none of these and realised this; I had to make my own luck.

I launched out of bed, landing squarely in my chair and fired up the shuttle, whereupon I had the shock of my life. There was a man, in the system and he was willing to talk to me. This is what he had to say:
Worst saviour ever

He promptly jumped out of the system, giving me no help whatsoever. He even wished me luck in getting home! Home. Where is that for a nomadic tourist like me? My clone resides in CVA space and whilst I like those guys, I'm not sure they'd adopt me and call me one of their own. I came into this world in a station deep in empire space, I left it half an hour later and never looked back. I had no home to go to, so I resolutely ignored his luck giving and waited for the saviour that I knew would come.

Unfortunately, that saviour turned out to be the same man and he was very serious about helping me get back 'home':
Seriously, who is this guy helping here?

“This is an unfortunate turn of events” I replied casually in an attempt to throw him off. For what began now was a deadly game of cat and mouse, the winner would claim this system. I had damn well sat in this system long enough awaiting someone to come and answer my questions so by golly I was going to win this and wait until they bothered to turn up! So naturally, after a whole 15 minutes of warping around constantly to avoid being hunted down, he grew bored and left the system.

I was victorious.

I was exhausted and collapsed.

The following day I did not wake up with as much gusto as the previous day, the events that had followed made me apprehensive as I peered at the ships scanner. But at long last my perseverance had paid off and I knew that following the mysterious white circle was the best decision of my journey so far:
Answers at last

This may not seem like much, but Panosp is a hero amongst men. He informed me that in this area of 0.0 that many people are “renters” - these are alliances who rent space from other alliances. Perhaps you're wondering where the 'saviour' bit comes in? Well, Panosp informed me of a station owned by Northern Associates, one of the alliances on my list, and undoubtedly the next step on my quest to dock at a station. It was in the next system.

He also informed me that in order to dock at an alliance's station I needed them to grant me positive standing and that no, I could not just ask them for it. My epiphany the previous day echoed in my head, who gets anywhere by having it just handed to them? I pictured myself embarking on an epic quest to win the hearts and minds of Northern Associates, perhaps to slay a titan or rescue an exotic dancer; I would dodge gate camps by day and drink Quafe in seedy bars by night. It turns out however that this high honour is granted only to other friendly alliances, one of which, I am not. This could be problematic, so I jumped into AXDX-F.

Panosp had informed me that Northern Associates don't really have a 'home' station so to speak, so I decided that for this evening, the station in AXDX-F would be it and proudly took my picture:
Me at the station!

It was at this point that I had a stunning revelation. I didn't have to join an alliance at all. Allow me to explain, you see, all alliances are made up of corporations so all I had to do was join one and have the alliance give them the required standing. Thus removing the considerably onerous task of creating a vast empire for the sake of docking in a station. What's more, I could make my own corporation. This, was utter genius.

Now I just had to find out how to make one:
Getting help from Northern Associates

This was brilliant. I had flown 52 jumps to discover that I needed to join an alliance in order to gain the standings to allow me to dock. I however had circumvented this tedious business and decided I would make my very own corporation. The only problem was, I didn't want to fly 52 jumps back the way I had come.

TwoFlower you are a god among men xD

Keep the lols coming

I like this so far, can't wait to hear your next adventure, good luck wherever you go.

If you happen to be stopping by Derelik or through Curse, give Hashashin Cartel a call, we could arrange for you to see some of those events on your list, like seeing a good fight or a POS taking fire, we have some fleets that fly to destroy other corps poses from time to time

Fly Dangerous.
