It appears a lot of folks enjoy the plasma’s as much as I or they’ve not seen one as of yet and are interested. So, this monthly stats update I thought I would share some of the plasma’s I’ve encountered on my journey so far. First, let’s see what the definition of plasma is in terms of physic’s from Wikipedia.

“Plasma is a gas in which a certain portion of the particles are ionized. The presence of a non-negligible number of charge carriers makes the plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic fields. Plasma therefore has properties quite unlike those of solids, liquids, or gases and is considered to be a distinct state of matter. Like gas, plasma does not have a definite shape or a definite volume unless enclosed in a container; unlike gas, in the influence of a magnetic field, it may form structures such as filaments, beams and double layers. Some common plasmas are flame, lightning, and the Sun.”

How common are plasma’s in New Eden? – not too common. Out of 128 systems explored, only 14 contained a single plasma planet. That’s just about 11% of systems so far. So, if you are wanting to discover one on your own, you’ll need to visit all of the planets in 10 or 11 systems. You should find at least one … maybe.

Here’s my current stats on my journey:

Regions: 1/31 (3.23%)
Constellations: 18/368 (4.89%)
Systems: 130/2,573 (5.05%)

Ships Lost: 0
Pods Lost: 0

Here’s some of my favorite images of the plasma’s I’ve encountered so far. If you want to see all 14, check out this link to my Astrophotography album where you can also see all of my 1,300 images.

OOC:

Sadly, my job does carry me away from time to time, so I’ll have weeks like this with no progress. Hmm, so how was our journey to date stats for January?

Regions: 1/31 (3.23%)
Constellations: 14/368 (3.80%)
Systems: 103/2,573 (4.00%)

Ships Lost: 0
Pods Lost: 0

I’m thinking this journey is going to be more like 4 years. Ack!

Some images from these last couple of weeks. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

This last week has been a mixed bag of laughs. I found myself deep in low security space with 3 systems left to explore at a time when I needed to get back to base and plug in some new learning skills. So, in my haste to explore and get out of low security as well as return to base, I realized once I got back, I missed planet 7 in the Fuskunen system. At least I thought it was Fuskunen 7. Frustrated with myself and somewhat laughing, I realized I would have to return to low security space. So, I plugged in my next skills (Focus, Clarity and Presence) and thought about how to proceed.

Coming out, I had managed to evade a gate camp which I knew going back in, I would not be able to do effectively. Checking with Aura, I plotted a backdoor entry to Fuskunen. It would be only two jumps in from high security instead of the 6 which would have been much closer. As it was, to get the fewer jumps in I would have to travel 28 jumps out of my way. Ah well, better safe than sorry. Upon arrival and snapping another shot, I realized it wasn’t 7 that I had missed. I had mislabeled the image as 6 when it should have been 7. So, I had to warp again, get the correct shot to correct my error. I won’t be making that mistake twice, as I’m sure I’ll be too busy making new mistakes instead. Got the image of Fuskunen 6 and got out then 28 jumps back. Whew!

Monthly Stats

Time has flown -no pun intended- Has it really been a month? So, how am I doing so far? Let’s see …

Regions: 0/31 (0.00%)
Constellations: 10/368 (2.72%)
Systems: 70/2,573 (2.72%)

Ships Lost: 0
Pods Lost: 0

At this rate, if I’m able to maintain this pace, it will take about 3 years to explore what I’m calling phase I …

Hmm, ok, let’s not think about that too much!

Here’s some images from the last two weeks.
