The amount of stuff that goes on exclusively outside the game is annoying. I've only stumbled across this thread recently. Who wants to read mega threads anyway? I only followed a link.

But I'd live to get into this. Alas, being at Jacques means that is never going to happen, and I'm not a sharp enough tool to figure out cryptic clues.

I agree more of this should be linked in with the storyline ingame. Like the myery should be outlined in the news ingame more so that people know its going on. I understand its easy to get onto the forums but alot of people hate forums and also want these things to be ingame more so. It kind of splits the player base up which isnt really a good thing and is why the game is falling in numbers

Whats the significance of the letters on the systems?

There isnt any significance of the letters well adleast nothing confirmed. Just theorys and speculation for now only thing confirmed is we should be in EAFOTS there is nothing confirmed wether or not this is the final destination and if anything is in here or if its just a push clue in the right direction towards the rift

To be honest the EAFOTS cluster is bigger than the bubble so i dont think there will be anything found without another clue thats my personal opinion

I cant' see the mystery to be anything to do with system names or lining up of nebula. How would wither work in the context of the in game story, EG why would either be something the Imps, Feds and former INRA want to hide? I would be very disappointed if it turned out to be that sort of gimmick. I'm all for throwing in Easter eggs and all, but I am hoping the solution to this mystery is thoroughly grounded in Elite lore and will spawn more story events and reaction in game when news gets back to the bubble.

Exactly im sure eventually it will all lead to a single cluster of random 2-8 systems that have thargoid destroyed ships or some for of destroyed thargoid station. What would be cool is if we seen Kahina out there then she takes you into the unknown to somewhere you cannot see and its a mass old battlefield of destroyed fleets of both sides.

Also they could then eventually have some sort of thargoid probe like the UA/UP mystery in this battlefield or linking it eventually forming them coming back as they apparently will be in elite at some stage.

I would love if they actually joined in the fight with us from that against what is being unraveled in the UA/UP mystery and these where actually their Nemesis that are more dangerous and humanity and thargoids must hold them off now that would be some epic battles and story line when humanity joined their previously hidden enemy to fight a stronger foe :)

I think Elite dangerous is being to dragged out in the whole Alien enemy field atm and its causing people to lose interest. The fighting is good in this game however CGs And combat zones are getting boring we need invasion, Mass alien encounters, Planet/Home world destruction etc etc that would literly bring elite on par with its previos games and make it exciting again

I agree and what are we even looking for? Raxxla right? What do we know about that planet? Is it even a planet or a moon? There are alien structures on it. But what sort of planet are we looking for? How will you even know if you find it?

Yes the do have to make this thats my point. They have had alot of time to make things. Powerplay they spent so much time on it for a failed result, Engineers they spent alot of time saying how good it would be but yet it was just a RNG ring toggle menu that changes your weapons devices etcs output which is just code. Horizons so much hype to land on rocks and shoot at smaller rocks, I know planets are huge and so was this but it went downhill after it. What i mean is after two years of production we got some rocky moons RNG and broken faction powerplay. Now i know its hard for a game this size but it doesnt take a designer long to just make a decent amount of wrecks, storyline scematics to actually place ingame rather than heres a line follow it for two years oh and heres some clues follow them, thats for two years thats all we got. Wait now we have a UA And a UP a bit of sound but yet still makes it dragged out.

Im not complaining i just want something substantial to get the game thriving again. People have come up with some seriosly good stoylines right here on the forums im sure the creators could even take some tips and make some out of it.

Any sign of a BB-C B?
Click to expand...

I found BB-C B27-0, BB-C B56-0, and BB-C B43-0. They're within a few hundred lightyears of C14-0. Just scanned BB-C B27-0 and found a degraded emissions USS with a small survey data cache. The ship wreckage around it looked strange, it looked more like scrap metal than pieces of a ship. Also heard spooky music I've never heard before.

My question to Drew would be since he mentioned its "who" goes looking I'm wondering if that means one of two things.

1) If you have weapons on your ship
2) If you have any bounties currently.

How any other race would know you'd have bounties I'd never know but I've got a faux dormant bounty for a cop that got in the way I gotta wait to leave the bubble JUST IN CASE for 4 more days.

Also considering not bringing any weapons. As a sign of peace.

Drew confirmed that whatever Frontier put out there it won't be found in a USS.

Davanix, don't be such a negative nancy. I know I'm not alone in this, but I'm happy about the timeline for the rift/ua mysteries. It's exactly what you say the problem is that's keeping people interested! If they just introduced the aliens or made the puzzles easier to solve, then people would lose interest. It's called delayed satisfaction, when you put effort into figuring something out or acquiring something instead of just getting it with little or no effort, it's much more satisfying in the end.

Also, the amount of time it's taking to figure out the mystery is moving along at a good pace, with new hints and clues being introduced every month or two, everything should be solved within a year of the first clue. All of this is taking place in real time, and as such, takes real people to figure out the clues, and what better way to get people involved in the mystery and lore of the game, than by having them discover it for themselves? I would be pretty upset if FDev just came out with the answers.

I thought the line that said, the galaxy hung there, could be a visual clue, so I scooted between heart and soul nebulae, and tried to line them up so that the galaxy spanned between them, making it look a little like it was hanging off both heart and soul.

I found this at EAFOTS TC-M D7-22B1



And was surprised to see a USS & wreckage floating around it, bit it was only an illegal survey canister.

Oh you completely took me up wrong its not about these mysteries at all its about the game in its entire. apart from two mysteries (One of which is not frontier created so no0 credit untill they show something) there is not a single kept storyline that has progressed. alot of people left the game due to this and i can vouch for 3 groups of over 500 players have left that i know of also. Its the fact that they need a basis storyline in the game apart from this exploring storyline. apart from the whole mysterys there is nothing for other players. What about people who like combat for example apart from bounty hunting and Combat zones there is no storyline behind the mass battles in the bubble. Powerplay brought no storylines either bar some pictures of the leaders and their quotes.

Im not being negative at all Im actually just pointing out that they should try get things rolling to attract people rather than push them away. I love the game but i love exploring and a bit of combat on the side if i didnt love different textures and cool looking nebulas etc this game would as it stands be just baseline pew pew grind for cash. As there is nothing that actually compells you to fight for a power other than cash money right now.

I by no means want them to come up with the answer to these towo mysterys also i merly stated putting more interaction ingame that is more than just a galnet post now and again and forum hints. a player talking to you in text isnt what i mean either. maybe even a winged npc that talks to you or shares some background knowledge. Or now that we have engineer fsd boosts and can carry weapons why not some feds and imp assassins hunting you fro trying to reveal the truth they want to hide to change it up and make it exciting and even that would not be hard to do.

so what was the point of coming out to bb-c c-14? the guy just said he solved it and then left...

He was trying to line up the nebulas with the meg clouds but i said its been done before but said carry on. he never actually said he did solve it he said he might have. But you never know someone some day might come in after a stupid idea and it could have possibly been true haha
