Creating The Explorer's Nation(s)

As a new player to ED, the only thing I wanted to do was explore...... But I wouldn't mind spending a few days say mining or running trade routes when not out in the black (I have never done either of them but would give it a shot). The more I read the thread the more I like the Explorer Nation idea.
 
So I've been cruising around Santjalan for a few days and following this thread, and I've done some thinking. Here's what I've got.

Santjalan and Eleu are pretty good systems to call home between expeditions. They are in a good position to avoid NPCs and Players when coming in from coreward, and they're -for the moment- safely out of PowerPlay.
However, explorers are very much like cats - they go out alone at night, and while they have a solidarity of spirit, don't function well in large groups under normal circumstances.
With that in mind, creating a Nation of Explorers would have similar results to creating a nation of cats: It would be fun to watch, but not terribly functional.
Instead, I think those who have the inclination to build and organize should focus on creating a Nation for Explorers. One that offers services and a safe haven for explorers, but isn't necessarily comprised of the hardcore explorers.

This thinking boils down as follows:
B

I think it's that simple.


I see it less as a solid nation and more of a conglomerate. We are each our own person, but we all share - or mostly so - the same ideals and therefor find no issue in being social with each other. We may form our own small groups/cliques/wings, etc, but altogether we can consider ourselves part of a bigger entity while remaining autonomous.
 
Just went to the group thread and put in my 2 cents...... This seems like a worthy endeavor for all explores. A safe harbor is important when returning from the black with exploration data that has taken weeks to months to collect.
 
Just signed up on the group page. I'm back in the bubble now and am planning on hanging around until horizons drops (that may well not happen if the abyss calls me). I'll be heading over to Eleu soon to setup my new crib and get a feel for our fledgling nation by running some missions for SEPP
 
Notice:
Viper-class Fighter "Northern Avenger" moved to long term storage
Subscription to Santjalan Daily Times: Suspended
Forward all messages and deliveries to storage
Type-6 vessel "Name TBD" cleared for departure

I've contributed slightly to the wellbeing of SEPP. I need to get back out there. Catch you all later.

Sirius Corp may own my bones (for now), they may have my beloved Cobra in store, but they do not own my soul. Once I have finished paying off my father's debts (another 60 MCr to go) I will be glad to move Regie's Return to SEPP HQ and join you in you quest.

Hi Guys
I'm fairly new to the game and I have chosen to do Exploration. I can't even remember where I am but I'm somewhere out there. I know what I want to do in game and that is to find stuff. Thurs I am buying Horizons. Currently I'm in a diamondback scout. Nice ship but I want the explorer version. I'm not even sure if I have seen any players about. I like the idea of getting together with explorers. I use to play hard core Eve online and I'm not prepared to do that again. Becomes a job.

I would be in but I'm afraid I'm not that good at pvp these days. Getting old ha ha.
If there is something going to happen feel free to send me a mail.

Right now I'm running mostly courier missions and those computer missions. Then I'll buy the diamondback exp - Unless you want to make a sizable Donation :p

Ta very much in advance. Hope to see someone in space.
