The Formidine Rift - Part 2

So my apologies if this has already been discussed but.

Being lazy I thought maybe FDev made it really obvious, so obvious in fact that we would miss it.

So I typed Formadine into the galaxy map and.......... found nothing but then I thought ready between the lines and Drews mention of Fear being a clue so I searched for fear and something happened that I haven't seen on the galaxy map before

Searching fear brought up the following systems:

Elycoch
Merungas
HIP 52137
UGP 120
HIP 79735
Di Kuana
YY Leonis Minoris
En Ku Shun
Segais

I've not seen the galaxy map do this before I normally have to be pretty accurate.

None of the systems are ridiculously far from R&R.

I searched some other terms like dread, hello, toast, Tree, erie (thinking of words with similar vowel content) and nothing.

Seems strange that fear is a clue and this happens.

If this has been discussed I'm sorry between this and the UA barnacle forums there is more reading than I can handle.

Any ideas of if this is relevant or if someone else could test would be appreciated.

I guess either a stellar body or a human colony/station bears the name "fear" in those systems. The galmap search extends into the systems as well.
Are all of them inside the human inhibited area? I'm not home can't check...
 
Are any of those far out towards the rim?

And that looks like the answer I only have system maps for a handful but the ones I do have contain a Fearn station (Fearn Gateway, Fearn Orbital etc)

Thanks!

I'll see maybe I have some systems mapped that you might not have info for, it never hurts to check any idea anyway...especially the ones that aren't time consuming

I would guess every system you found has a station with "Fear" in its name. At least some do.

Elycoch -> Fearn Gateway
Merungas -> Fearn Horizons
HIP 52137 -> no system data available
UGP 120 -> Fearn Orbital
HIP 79735 -> no system data available
Di Kuana -> Fearn Ring
YY Leonis Minoris -> no system data available
En Ku Shun -> no system data available
Segais -> Fearn Terminal
 
Grrrrr.

Doesn't help when this happens in the Rift :-

Quite annoying when you cant plot routes to systems you can jump too.
This is about the 3rd or 4th time I have seen this happen.
 
Couple of congruences I've happened across whilst reading these threads and reviewing links.

There's been mentioned a link between the name of a Capital Ship, Lucius, to the tale Metamorphoses by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apuleius (The forum censors the intended link into The Golden banana, follow the link inside that wiki article)

That tale contains the tale of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid_and_Psyche which ends in the birth of the Goddess Pleasure. It also starts with Psyche being the youngest of three daughters of a King and Queen which sets a possible link with Kahina, and someone as Cupid. And there's the coincidental link with the Heart (Cupid) and Soul (Psyche) Nebulae.

Salome uses a line in her address to the Children of Raxxla at Beagle Point from http://www.itsokaytobesmart.com/post/49415133926/from-the-old-astronomer-to-his-pupil-by-sarah which also references the Goddess Pleasure.

Have you tried selecting FSD Boost..? Doesn't matter whether you have the boost materials, but it does sometimes enable you to make those jumps when it bugs out :)

I dont have the Mats for boost so how does that work ?
Thanks for a possible solution.
 
OK select fsd boost then going back to the Galaxy map fixed it.
It also turned off the boost and put fast route lines back on !?!

Thanks guys

So far i didn't read the book. Was the Old Lady alive? Or can people only see her messages from old times?
Is there a reference how old is she?

Also what's her figure like, hairy bald small tall etc is there any description?

Your max jump range is 37.86, so you can cross it. The problem you have is you got lots of fuel. Try to decrease your fuel mass by jumping on other star and back, until your jump range becomes sufficient.

As for her appearance when she was younger (the message in the data banks):
“The photo was of a fifty-something woman, dressed in an old fashioned one piece traders’ outfit. She was quite petite, with a pale face framed by simply brushed brown hair, parted in the middle into two neat folds on either side of her head. There were no earrings or adornments of any kind. She looked pretty, but plain and ordinary save for a pair of deep brown eyes.”

And as an old woman in the hospital:
“It was impossible to tell how old she was. Her face was lined and wrinkled. Her arms were thin and delicately boned, her skin pale with only a few age spots. Her hair was straight, grey for the most part and almost transparent at the ends, but it held just a faint hint of the brown that must have been the natural colour from her youth. It was simply brushed into two neat folds on either side of her head. The skin on her cheek was stretched slightly, revealing a thin, almost invisible, scar that looked like a knife wound from long ago. Unlike most of the other patients Salomé had seen she wore no make-up, no jewellery or other adornment. She was dressed in a simple medical smock.”
 
I just reenter inside Tradgoi AA-A h0 A.

Two solutions:
- This is a bug that affects only black holes with a significant mass, in this case it would be nice that someone tells us that this is not a desired game mechanic.
- It's something else to discover. (with a very big tinfoil hat)

Have you guys tried 'flying' through the black hole in the heart nebula? I'm there right now. It's a high mass BH I think (2.7227 sun masses?)

I don't have the nerve to try it ;p
 
That mysterious CMDR Salomé at the Beagle Point. I quess it is just another Elite Account of Drew :)

I don't think its Drew. I think it is someone else operating the account with permission from Drew. I wouldn't be surprised though if her message from Beagle Point was a direct cut-and-paste job from a message written by Drew himself.
