So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)

Jumped into Hypiae Aim PU-Z b55-0 and was immediately greeted with a short, repeating "buzz warp" sound about every 6-7 seconds..
I had once the same sound in a random system (can't even remember where it was). Couldn't find any interesting in that system. But yeah, that's sounds interesting itself

I wouldnt even call it a bug more like a loading point where your game hangs for a second not visable but the audio hangs after being loaded. Most likely caused by a memory leak or server lag
 
Well, I'm heading back out there. This time with a level 4 enhanced FSD. My (shielded) ASP now can jump 44.5 (47.9 on fumes).
THat's a whopping 13 ly per jump more.
By the way, I for one like the shift in focus that started on page 181; directed more on the lore and characters in the book(s). I don't know, I suddenly got a feeling that questioning the motives of Kahina/Salomé and how that might tie in
with Imperial/Federal/Allied interests might actually be the right angle to solving this, or at least trigger a new hint. It's just a gut feeling, but something tells me Drew might want us to look more in that direction.

Anywho, I'm off. See you somewhere in the Rift!
 
Is it possible maybe we could set up these hearth and soul listening posts like small outposts much like jaq station and the fact that Pleiades got there own station for their mystery why cant we have these actual posts up. this would attract more people to join the hunt by offering a station even if its just an outpost out there.

It would certainly drag my lazy butt out there. That's when I went to support the Merope missions. I don't have the jump range to be going back and forth constantly without going insane, nor the inquisitiveness to just wander the black...

Then you'll probably enjoy this...

Kahina/Salome and Duality

Duality is a common theme in Greek (and other) mythology. For example, Persephone is both goddess of the Underworld (death) and Spring (rebirth and vitality) - two diametrically opposed concepts.

It is possible to read Reclamation as Kahina's transition from the haughty, aloof daughter of an Imperial Senator to a more compassionate and inclusive personality, in the form of Salome. As Kahina resurfaces from Salome's lost memories, her personality changes and she becomes more demanding and domineering, but ultimately reverts back to Salome.

Subsequent to the book, it seems that these two sides of Kahina/Salome are still struggling to find an equilibrium or coherent personality.
Who is to say which one will ultimately become dominant, or whether a balance will be struck between the two?

In the meantime, do not forget that Salome is still, ultimately, an Imperial Senator, with the arrogance and sense of entitlement which was instilled into her from birth.
This is manifest in the address to the Children of Raxxla, which, whilst delivered under the name Salome, is a much more 'political' statement, almost a call-to-arms - something much more in keeping with the attitude of an Imperial Senator seeking to establish a power base, than with a starship pilot looking for adventure.
It's worth considering that 'Salome the rebel' has much more appeal to the those of us seeking to uncover a mystery that the authorities wish to keep secret than 'Kahina the Senator' would ever have - it's a very convenient disguise for someone interested in taking power for themselves...

So ask yourselves this:
Are you here to solve the mystery, or to help Salome find it?

To be honest I'm just doing this as a break from tweaking the fleet with Engineers. Which sounds vaguely euphemistic...

It's just soooooo far, jump, scoop, honk, jump.... (high pitched whine). Maybe you can get the governments interested, and they can build stepping stones like they did to Merope. Then I can make it out there in my low jump range Anaconda.

My Anny does 30lyrs. I'd have brought it but it's much less agony in a 40lyr Asp.

The governments cant be involved as they are the very people hiding whats out there.......

can i get some feedback and support on this for FD to notice :) https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-hearth-and-Soul-Nebula?p=4339102#post4339102

Honestly Drew, you had me at "And you thought Thargoids were bad." I'm literally a pilot who has built up his capital resources in the galaxy in order to fuel a drunken space madness induced rampage. However, I would prefer to have to take that out on someone other than humanity. The Rift mystery seems the closest to being able to realize that goal. Hence, my answer to your question, as has been the answer for most of humanity's existence, is that I want to evolve. Killing stuff better than anything else can kill us has been the evolutionary blue print through the entirety of our existence. I figure I'll just continue the tradition.
 
Yes - but it didn't just give EAFOTS - it gave OTSEAFOTSEAF and the hint of My Heart and my soul in Latin. So then if you go look at the galmap at the H&S Nebula you can see the EAFOTS sector on the map. I see it as a hint to discover EAFOTS as a starting point. The galnet hints to look at the H&S nebula then a good eye spotted EAFOTS from the OTSEAFOTSEAF hint. So they both weren't direct hints of where to start, but you needed both to confirm it wasn't just coincidence.

You've all seen Drew's blog post from earlier today?

http://www.drewwagar.com/progress-report/tionisla-a-little-background/

I ran the link video file through a morse converter and it came out with the following:

OTSEAFOTSEETFOTITT T ETITETT TMTS E TTETNATTTI E TITEMT T E T ET RTMTE E T E M TTT TTTI EI E TEROTSEA *fades out to silence*

Which seems to be a carry on from the message left at Tionisla: OTSEAFOTSEAF except for the two underlined letters (my underlining).

I could see if anyone had converted it yet, so thought I would add it to the thread.
 
Mine only does like 28, but I don't have level 4 or 5 upgrades because I'm too lazy to grind for them.... I could strip it down and get the 40+ ly, but then I'd be a sitting duck if I got attacked.

You're doing it wrong. "Two Cents," my warfit Conda has 29.3 LY jump range. You give up around 14 LY for the security and sanity that "many guns and shields" brings when your roaming around the black!
