TripTik109 Expedition Highlights
Search out and visit Major Tom, still drifting in deep space and broadcasting into the void.
Introduction
Space Oddity is a mysterious signal that drifts through New Eden, a tribute by CCP to David Bowie. Some say it’s the voice of Major Tom, a lost explorer still adrift in deep space, broadcasting his song into the void.
You can track him using the crawler at the bottom of this page Eve Scout Rescue keep an eye out as it gets updated when he is found or reported to Signal Cartel!
Make sure and bring a dedicated scanning ship as the Combat signature for this is extremely hard to scan down.
Locations
Space Oddity is a strange signal that appears across all of New Eden—from highsec trade hubs to the farthest reaches of wormhole space. It’s never tied to any one region, system, or gate, and no one’s ever managed to trace its origin. The strangest part? It always sounds like a fragment of an old song—one that doesn’t appear in any known database.
Some pilots say it’s the voice of Major Tom, a Terran-era explorer who vanished centuries ago on a long-range deep space mission. His story has blurred into myth, but the song keeps playing—sometimes faint, sometimes loud—cutting through comms like a whisper from the past.
It doesn’t cause damage. It doesn’t affect your ship. It just plays. Like someone—or something—is still out there, broadcasting into the void.
