006 - Looking in the past

Hello fellow capsuleers,

So after fiasco that happend to me last time while I was scanning and jumped into Serpentis outpost, I decided to approach this problem from different side. I sold my Imicus to local junkyard and for the ISK I got from scrap metal I bought Catalyst. Becouse I ran across some interesting threads on EVE forums about Jove and the other three ancient races I decided to try archaeology. I fitted my new destoryer with scanners, analyzer and some other stuff and set off on my journey.

I went throught some systems with my scanning probes on. And found... let's face it ... nothing besides some other Serpentis bases. Then I got lucky some Gravimetric site blinked on my scanner. I almost jumped out of my capsule with the joy. So I wapred in looking forward to all of those rare ores. My joy faded out really fast. There was only one ore of golden omber and 5 rogue drones. After while there was only one ore of Omber and 5 wrecks. I salvaged them took some screens and continued with my searching.

After while I found something called Haunted Yard. First I thought that this was arcaeological site then I discoverd that it was only another minicomplex full of rogue drones. My guns went blazing and after while I was salvaging again and taking photos. I ended my jorney in Alsottobier. I can recomand that system if you want to see some interesting sights. Arid park is very nice place and whole Contested Canyon of Rust complex is really worth seeing.

So as you can see I found none archaeological site but the trip was worthwhile. So here are the pictures.


Arid Park in Alsottobier. One of the nicest spots I have ever encountred in EVE. I really reccomend it for you to go and see for yourself.


Wyirkomi HQ Fluakelke. Not much to see here only some huge control tower. The place is called Central Administration.


Ebony Tower somwher in Algintal I don't remember the location of it exactly. It's just huge rock but the second picture is quite good.


Roden Shipyard outpost in Fluakelke. As description says this place is good for gamblers drinkers and that bunch of people. So if you think you can use a drink stop by.


This is the small asteroid belt which i found. You can see some really huge drills there.


So this is the famous Haunted Yard with many many drones. The destroyed stargate looks like from some horror movie.


So these are photos from that Canyon of rust. It's few complexes connected by jumpgates. I really enjoyed this one really recommend you to go there and see for yourself. Destroyed stations, comets, casinos etc...

So that was me trying to found some historical sites. I managed to earn about 500k ISK from salvaged items and alloys. So fly safe and see you soon...

005 - Scanning lesson in Algintal

Hello there,

So I am back with another pile of pictures and load of boring text. So my application to the industrial corporation Covenant of stars was accepted. That mean that i had to move from Murini back to Augnais which is next to Audaerne where I have resided before. Seems funny but I had to move three ships 20 jumps away. Little bit boring process but fortunatly I was painting my room at the moment so I just toggle autopilot on and went playing with my colours.

When I was completly moved I satred mining again. After while of listening to "mmmmmm" and "vzzzzzzz" of my strip miners I decided that it is time to try something new. So I bought Imicus fit it with probe launcher and set off to find some secret belt to mine. I started in Augnais launch my probes and started. Problem number one. Where is some button to start scanning. Found it. After 10 seconds of searching the system I found some unknown anomaly with 100% accuracy. I recoverd my probes and without moment of hesitation (and without reading the description) I warped in. Serpentis hidden lookout as it seems isn't friendly place for unnarmed Imicus. I managed to take just one screenshot and warped away with 12% structure left.

After that I moved to Audaerne. There I encountred problem number two. Small red dot in my solar map changed to gigantic red sphere. I reposition my probes and after few scanns later the red sphere changed back to yellow dot. I scanned my way throught Augnais, Audaerne, Deltole, Parchanier and Jolia. Final score was 3 wormholes to wormhole space, one to some 0.0 system and 6 deadspace complexes inhabited by serpentis. The secret belt full of rare ores reamained hidden from me. So here are the pictures from my journey throught Algintal.


Serpentis lookout where I got almost killed.


First wormhole I ever found. And my Imicus of course.


Very interesting mining outpost somwhere..... I don't remember where. The rectangual thing is interesting.


Mining with my new corpmates in Augnais.

Post 004 - Visit at God's home

Hi,

So after longer period of silence I am back. I was off town for quiet a while so I didn't have a chance to post some news so now I will have to do it at once. First new thing is that I am no longer flying in Vexor but I changed it for a Retriever. I am traing for cov right now so as you see I am following my career as a miner.

Second major thing in my EVElife is that my corporation Gamblers Inc cease to exist due to player inactivity. So we merged with corporation named Fallen brotherhood. So that are main events leading to my current state in Eve.

After merging with Fallen brotherhood I moved to Ammar space. More specificly to Turba. There was nothing to mine so I changed my base station to solar system called Murini not far from Turba. Here after two days of mining Kernite I noticed in my overwiew something called Abondon ship wreck. I thought that it could be something worth of taking few sreens and I was right. So I made active my Last traveller (that cheap Atron of mine:) and went for exploring.

After taking few sreens I looked at my note of places which I want to see and noticed that City of Gods is "only" 18 jumps from my current location. So I packed big supply of Quafe and cigarets and went on a journey.

On my journey I was contacted again by Minner who suggested me to join the corp in which he is. So once again it seems that this guy may helped me on my way to fortune. Now I am just waiting for response on my application.

Next pictures are diveded into two sections. First are common pictures which I took during my day to day flying. Second section is what I like to call "sights".

So first...

DAY TO DAY FLYING


I like design of ORE ships. Specialy Orca. I still don't know if orca is some sort of abbreviation or normal name. If anyone of you knows it please let me know.


These photos were taken while I was mining in Audaerne before merger and some rats attacked me.


So here are some pictures which i liked. The last two of them could make some nice wallpapers I think.


I like this picture very much, three ships jumping to Augnais. The small vexor there is mine :)



Tadadada... Do you know what planet is this? Yeah it is Ammar Prime. It's little bit shame that as a Gallente I have here picture of Ammar planet and Gallente Prime is missing.


SIGHTS
So all of those screens were taken on my way from Murini to the City of Gods.


ABANDONED SHIP WRECK

Region: Kador
Constellation: Febihkin
Sol system: Murini 0.6

Nothing much interesting but qualifies as a Sight.





ABANDONED MINING COLONY

Region: Devoid
Constellation: Daredan
Sol system: Hati 0.6

As a miner I was pretty curios what it would be. But i do know why is that colony abondoned. Thre are no ores to mine nearby.


FORGOTTEN AMMAR OUTPOST

Region: Tash/Murkon
Constellation: Sanair
Sol system: Goram 0.6

I wonder why all ruins of Ammar station are the same. I mean that type which is left on next screen.




DERELICT RUINS

Region: Domain
Constellation: Maseend
Sol system: Yuhelia 0.6

This is my favourite sight. It is little mysterious with that creepy light inside.




CITY OF GOD

Region: Devoid
Constellation: Abthi
Sol system: Shastal 0.5

City of God. What more to say.




So that is all for today. I think this post is long enough. So bye for now and...

Fly safe
