Interesting read - Geminate is my neck of the woods, so was funny to see an outsiders perspective
You started with a good alliance, there are some good guys in IMP (even if they are fun to shoot), and hopefully people will show you the same friendliness elsewhere in the game.
Again this illustrates how easy it is for people to get into null without dying in a fire. |

Dont think i have ever seen a journalist blogging the adventures of various 0.0 dwellers in quite a while now... it does indeed make for an interesting read,
Dont be disheartened too much by people holding a hostile attitude though... thats rather normal in 0.0, regardless of what youre flying people will see you in local and almost immediatly you show up on intel and are hunted.
Interesting too that your shuttle has survived for so long (mostly) too. Some people like to smack to get a fight, others just smack for fun. the rest may have some kind of an issue perhaps. but thats all part of the game these days.
Enjoy the road trip. L.D |

Just a quick reply to respond to some comments - Couldn't be bothered to quote them properly.
Screenshots - Yep, good advice, hadn't thought of this. You will have to wait a few updates but I have started doing this.
Anonymity - Yeah, anyone can ask for it, or to have certain bits excluded. I also offer it directly if someone has been particuarly revealing. Indeed, we have a very interesting and revealing conversation coming up - where the pilot has agreed for it to be posted with their name!
Solar - Nicolo, that is just called a challenge :)
The shuttle - It is the ultimate sign of neutrality, I will stick with it!

stop confusing characters for players...
As a player I live in 0.0.
However, only 2 out of my 9 characters are currently in 0.0.
There were times when I didn't consider myself a 0.0 dweller but had more characters in 0.0 (mostly cyno alts) than I have now. |

That's a distinction that I hadn't considered before. For the purpose of this project I would consider you a 0.0 player, providing you use 0.0 to some degree (in fact, your opinions and reasons for being there could be vastly different from players who live there with their 'main' characters).

PART 4
While I appreciate that 0.0 is a dark and dangerous place, I daresay that you will agree that podding a man while he is talking to you is the height of rudeness! Observe below the exact point in our proceedings when my flesh was torn asunder! http://eve-files.com/dl/250502
Never the less I was determined to interview the vagrant. Jiul was clearly shamed by his earlier behaviour and could not bring himself to face me so instead requested I send him a questionnaire which he could fill in and return like a meek little boy who had been caught stealing sweets. http://eve-files.com/dl/250503
I am especially interested in Rolling Thunder, I had been informed that they rented space from Raiden and I have seen many players talk negatively of GÇÿrentersGÇÖ and I wanted to see their response to this.
My time in 0.0 has taught me many skills which I utilised to rapidly break into Raiden (rolling thunder) space GÇô No bubbles would stop me now!
I have to say, the pilots of Rolling Thunder that I met were really nice guys who were happy to chat. Here is who I met:
http://eve-files.com/dl/250504
Draco Amatin GÇô A quiet miner: http://eve-files.com/dl/250506 He appears to be a man of simple tastes and enjoys the relatively safe life on null sec mining.
Duke Antares: http://eve-files.com/dl/250507 http://eve-files.com/dl/250508 http://eve-files.com/dl/250513
A pacifist 0.0 player? This is a rare specimen indeed but his quest to identify a wormhole back to Earth is admirable and I wish him well in this pursuit. It does appear that the harsh environment of 0.0 is capable of supporting a wide variety of play styles and it simply takes a bit of courage and determination to carve out your life.
Coburn Vor gives me some more information about the DRF v NC war but it appears that Rolling Thunder were not involved and I would need to head further north to get my answers. Coburn also provided some insight into being a GÇÿrenterGÇÖ: http://eve-files.com/dl/250511
Speaking to these seasoned veterans left me feeling ashamed and inadequate. I had to ask Coburn to teach me the facts of lifeGǪ GǪ about sovereignty of course! http://eve-files.com/dl/250512
Two pictures showing a Territorial Control Unit (plus a POCO in the foreground I believe) http://eve-files.com/dl/250509 http://eve-files.com/dl/250510
Now two pictures of one of Rolling ThunderGÇÖs POSGÇÖs http://eve-files.com/dl/250514 http://eve-files.com/dl/250515 I hope that was suitably educational for everyone.
Using my powers of persuasion I was able to negotiate a coveted photo opportunity with Coburn while he destroyed some evil NPC pirates. http://eve-files.com/dl/250516
Unfortunately our little rendezvous was cut short: http://eve-files.com/dl/250520
My first roam! I was overcome with excitement and was determined to get a picture of the assailants. I found one sitting at a gate, heedless of my safety I got rather snap happy. http://eve-files.com/dl/250517 http://eve-files.com/dl/250518
Naturally, this was the resultGǪ http://eve-files.com/dl/250519
0.0 is full of different people and this is what inspires me to continue my journey, a fear of death has no place in this world and as my mother always said to me, death is but an opportunity to die again.
Next time: I watch some space acrobatics. And I go on a little holiday The 0.0 Investigation - https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=46555 In-game channel: EIES

PART 5
Waking up in a new clone can be disorientating, especially as my laptop takes several seconds to load. I found myself in my GÇÿhomeGÇÖ system once more but I was happy to trade 80,000 isk (clone and shuttle) for some exciting pictures of a true 0.0 pvpGÇÖer. To my surprise, I was contacted instantly on GÇÿarrivalGÇÖ in the system GÇô had I gained a stalker?
Fortunately he appeared to be a travelling acrobatics expert who was mastering his art in a new ship, I instantly wanted to photograph this incredible feat. http://eve-files.com/dl/250521
I do wonder at what point I will finally learn that screenshots do not capture movement particularly well. http://eve-files.com/dl/250522 http://eve-files.com/dl/250523 http://eve-files.com/dl/250524
He wasnGÇÖt succeeding anyway, but the pictures are nice.
Thanking the man for demonstrating his skill, I kindly advised him not to pursue a career as a GÇÿSpace arrowGÇÖ and headed back to the north GÇô I still had not met White Noise, Raiden or the Northern Coalition.
I found a friend in the form of Elyaine to talk to while I travelled north again, she was a low sec player who frequented 0.0 GÇô definitely a perspective worth learning about. The journey was becoming a little over familiar now and I resolved to not get podded again in the north. http://eve-files.com/dl/250563
During our conversation I had flown through the majority of White Noise space in Vale of the Silent and had found mostly empty systems or pilots who did not speak English. I would continue my search another time. We concluded our conversation as I overshot RaidenGÇÖs territory and landed in the heartland of the Northern Coalition that I had heard much about. http://eve-files.com/dl/250565
I decided that I had been working hard at this reporting and that I was due a short break so I began scouting out possible locations for a holiday. http://eve-files.com/dl/250567
As I worked my way back towards RaidenGÇÖs space I came across a mysterious group known as GÇ£Northern AssociatesGÇ¥ and crucially, a Raiden pilot. http://eve-files.com/dl/250566 http://eve-files.com/dl/250569
Those tendencies didnGÇÖt fail me: http://eve-files.com/dl/250574
The paranoia in 0.0 keeps surprising me, and that is surprising, I should expect to be surprised by now and to be met with suspicion (and surprise). But as my mother always said to me GÇ£you got told son, you got told.GÇ¥ So I left local with my tail between my legs but I wasnGÇÖt finished with Northern Associates, I would discover their secrets!
Meanwhile I was talking to Aulinas from Raiden who had brought a dirty friend along for a chat! http://eve-files.com/dl/250576 http://eve-files.com/dl/250577
Flicking through the holiday brochure led me to check out this station as a possible destination on account of the spas and annual reports of EVE conference. http://eve-files.com/dl/250578
In the end I chose this beautiful station (5,00.000 isk) situated in a lovely quadrant of the galaxy. IGÇÖll be honest, I heard you could get a full body massage from four voluptuous women (one Amarrian, Gallentean, Minmatarian and Caldarian) while watching a sensuous show of the best exotic dancers in EVE (200,000 isk) and I booked it instantly. http://eve-files.com/dl/250579
Here I am on my approach to the pleasure zone docking entrance: http://eve-files.com/dl/250580 http://eve-files.com/dl/250580 http://eve-files.com/dl/250581
After a relaxing bath and 3 course meal I decided to take a leisurely stroll around the station, and like any good adventurer I decided to climb as high as possible. http://eve-files.com/dl/250583 And admire the view. http://eve-files.com/dl/250582
Then you have to explore places youGÇÖre probably not meant to. http://eve-files.com/dl/250586 http://eve-files.com/dl/250587 http://eve-files.com/dl/250588 http://eve-files.com/dl/250589 http://eve-files.com/dl/250589
It was a truly stunning station (despite my low graphics settings). I docked again and invited those masseuses up to my CaptainGÇÖs Quarter (2,500,000 isk). The 0.0 Investigation - https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=46555 In-game channel: EIES

I don't have a specific route planned, I just know who I want to visit so when I'm podded I just follow the autopilot to my ultimate destination whether it's the same route or not. I've met people on the fly back's so it's worth it in the end and I think it's important to take everything as it comes - which goes for 0.0 in general.
To answer your question more specifically, yeah, I pretty much end up in the same area that I was podded in, because I still wantto meet peole in the bit of space. The 0.0 Investigation - https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=46555 In-game channel: EIES

Entertaining yes, but bleh!
I can handle the PVP, just like I can handle any scumbag in a trailerpark or ghetto, but just being around such people is still a downer, and the less people I meet in 0.0, being the "kind of people" they are, the better. This is why it's hard to hate cops sometimes, because they gotta go into these trailerparks and ghettos and deal with this loserfest.
And this is why the people who are most against being "forced" into 0.0 are the ones who have already been there.
"Don't compare RL scum to game scum" I expect to be told. But the underlying reasons behind the scummery still make for a kind of person whose mentality, energy, and interpretation of the world, be it a real one of a fake one, is not entertaining and leaves a feeling on my skin like a layer of bug entrails smeared on.
I'll keep the cloak on and keep using WHs to get around their bubble camps. Screw them.
