What are the galactic coordinates (please) for the system with only the M5 star? I can only find one system when I search for V1500

It's pretty near. If I looked for the numbers right, the coordinates are about:
603.5 : -438 : -1079

Nearest star is V1504 Orionis, but there are two of those too - V2067 Orionis gets you pretty close.

The FFE story is used a lot as basis for the current story.

Do you have a link to the FFE stories ?

Thanks thats where I was looking - I am just spacy today - not finding things .... need more COFEEEEE

 

[bitstorm]

also I'll say this again......computer core?

I don't understand what you mean by this, there is no "computer core" module?

 

[knowles2]

no I don't think so but it's rather hard and risky becuase you know...over heating......also I'll say this again......computer core?

Look at the last post on Galnet, there was a fire aboard the antares, which could have over heated the engines. I say someone should enter into silent mode, charge the engines, wait until they reach above 150 degrees an then align to your destination and jump.

As far as I know we can't affect anythinng on the ship computer core.

Operation Biscuit Barrel - Timocani System - Have only seem 1 SSS in the last 45mins

Sounds deathly bloody dull. Sorry to hear that. (Just to say it, though: Biscuit Barrel's next Sunday.)

That helped me find it, thanks!

I like this - am going to have to try jumping while scooping see if i can burn up

You don't need a UA to test this.

 

[knowles2]

You don't need a UA to test this.

But you do need a PC to play elite on, I only have a very old laptop that unable to play elite until next Sunday. Doing the same test with the UA just to rule it out another avenue.

as an explorer I have reached 200+ degrees while jumping. Granted I didnt have a UA on board but we can rule out misjumps due to heat haha

never said i was a good explorer.

I'm thinking, maybe the feds are not trasporting the UA. Maybe they are experimenting (without telling the crews) with large-mass miss jumps.

they do refer to the success of a "mission" during the dialog. If only we knew more about that mission.

Hey!

Just found this massive thread =)

Is there any summary on what type of signal analysis ha been done on the sounds? Read the wiki but only found info on in-game tests.

 

[Kyp Shard]

There is a hint in the journals (KIDNAP 1-4) that propelling a to large mass into hyper space will make some space-time mishap.

Maybe a T9 was added to the wing for some reason? ;-)

I'd say that's worth a shot. Anyone got a T9, and a spare UA?

Look at first post for links with some answers to your questions.

Large mass and drive slaving seem to be the key. The UA could possibly ad some kind of Casimir drive effect.

Ya now that you mention it - especially early on i managed to toast myself while jumping more than a few times .... I was thinking how we have the power settings - can we rig it somehow that during the countdown the FSD gets turned off due to power management settings ?

So, we're all buying Type-9s and loading them to the gills?

@Dommarraa - Might have mis-replied to you earlier, I'm thinking. Concerning your dull time for SSSs in Timocani. Noted for a possible change in locale. Thanks.

Could this be why the escorts disappear? So a T9 carrying a UA might trigger a misjump in a winged large vessel during a slaved jump?

edit: ie, a combination of wing jump mechanics plus module degradation in the T9 carrying the UA
