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

[Gypsy12]

Yeah you see aparantly in the rift story we already have two listening posts in these nebulas so i dont understand how it can be a secret but not at the same time. all i know is there should be "ACTUAL" posts out there and not just shown on a map on an external site. We need to expand this story. Yes the clues are slow i like that but without more people to search from them it could be years before anything is found.

But where are you actually getting this triangle from? anyone can make a triangle from stars lol and if its a orange star ive been there as its the only one i seen in that cluster and it is a giant with only a couple of rocks and iv searched it

Theres your big star http://imgur.com/a/Icp1M

It's just something I've noticed in my time at the rift. I've been here several times, and even set up listening post alpha with another cmdr. Over time you notice repeating patterns. Normally star patterns break up over the course of a few light years. However this one is different. Even over a relatively large distance it remains.
It's just been bugging me that's all, and it was time to check it out.

It's most noticeable as you pass through the heart and soul on the way to the rift.
Are you sure that's the right star btw?

Hello fellas, got some new crazy s--t 4 u .
Want something to do? Find a star pattern which will resemble those connected lines, especially those two blue thrusters

Also, I came back from my first journey, made those screenshots for further analysis and there's one more thing to be checked. Did anyone analyse solar flares ? Are they completely random/star type dependent ? Because down there, beyond the Rift I noticed something weird in two stars, and couldn't see it back here in the bubble.It was only happening when I unlocked freelook and watched by the side or upper window. There was this huge flare, like an opening tunnel in the star, made of smoke-like cloud, I even was trying to fly into it but was always too late. Spooky thing is ,that it was 2 times the length from star's surface to the safe flyby distance. I managed to make this screenshot :

Now as I think of it, it seems like those things were pointing in a direction.
Going back there to give it a little more study.

Btw, anyone is there yet? Any discoveries? Are you finding those worlds I was talking about?

That first image is player taken. And this spooky stuff you see is known as solar flare .

On the way to the rift? So you know where it is?

That is the only big star in the eafots cluster that isnt a blue 0 class and is bigger or equal to giant. This clue is merely to point us to EAFOTs and in that direction i highly doubt anything is in this system itself

You had better take that up with Erimus...

Dav, did anything come to fruition with that bit of oddness we had with star locations?

I know you posted about it bit did anyone else experience the same thing?

 

[[Diplomacy] Carnegie]

But thats just the thing isnt it. How do we trigger more clues if there isnt much ingame to trigger them. Unless everyone who is out there gets tracked and monitered there is no way any clues can be triggered. Also i beleive the EAFOTS clue was more to re-align the rift with the recent shifting of thousands of star systems to the left which might have caused the rift line to change.

I'm pretty sure that FD do have some level of logging of activity going on - I'm see to recall that David Braben mentioned 'missions that have never been seen', or words to that effect, which implies that they are at least partially aware of what players are up to. If, hypothetically, there is a Rift-related mission that is triggered when a player meets are certain threshold (like permit missions are) then FD could absolutely know when that happens.
All this information lives in a database someplace, so run a SQL query and there you have it.

I think it was just a bug im still getting it out near the loop and other places not tied to the rift might also be caused by the shift to the left of systems i was talking about earlyer

The rift is the subject at hand so it makes me think it is in the rift but the lady said ACROSS ... so it makes me think the other side.

Sigh.. where to go.

Nearest pub normally works for me.

Well, she said you have to plot a course across the rift. She doesn't say anything about where along that course you'll find what she's talking about. So clearly it's beyond the EAFOTS sector. But after that, it could either be in, or on the other side of the Rift.

I still feel that the Heart and Soul, in conjunction with EAFOTS, helps us narrow down the direction the rift is in. But I have this feeling that anything else that would help us in our quest here has been overlooked somehow. Likely somewhere in the bubble.

 

[CMDR Davanix]

For all we know the rift could even be the line between hearth and soul nebula but until more clues surface there is no proof

Oh yes, very true. I believe the new hint towards EAFOTS, combined with Heart&Soul was meant to narrow it down. But it narrows down the width of the course, not how far we need to go I believe (let alone up or down.. man space is big ). But on that particular subject I agree with Colonel Kenney; "plot a course across" to me means it is definitely beyond
the EAFOTS sector. But is it in the Rift or on the other side.. that's the big question to me atm.

 

[BluWolve]

I have suggested it before and reading others perhaps thinking over similar lines, I will suggest it again.

I believe there are more clues to uncover in Tionisla. I could be wrong, and some may not desire any more clues at all. Personally, I want to uncover as much of the story as possible and I do not believe searching systems out in black will achieve this. At the very least, there could be something to work out that could help narrow down the search or give a hint as to what to search for out there.

Here's the line and stars I took a look at the last time I ventured to the Rift. Ignore the top/upper 3 and PHOO AEB bookmarks, they were POI for myself I never got to and PHOO AEB was my destination I couldn't make. I have more detailed screenshot showing the cluster of stars at the end where I was going around trying to get a way across the Rift. EAFOTS is not in there, and this isn't any revelation but just showing where I've been before. That is a straight line down the R-R line with a direct line up between the two R-R stars at the end. EAFOTS is lower down the screenshot from where the cluster of stars I was at. This was done with a DBS at 24LY, about 26.4LY low fuel.

Well, we just got a clue that originated from Tionisla. And it's sending us towards EAFOTS or beyond. Now with the next big patch the actual Tionisla graveyard will be added, so perhaps another clue might come from there, but wouldn't that be kind of backtracking story-wise? I mean, they already sent us to EAFOTS.
At the moment I'm inclined to assume Tionisla has served it's purpose regarding this particular story.
I might be completely wrong though of course, because you know what they say about assumptions...

That is the issue and problem with this. Going back and forth as its so many jumps away. Although we could stay out there and wait for someone to uncover the clues like alot do the problem is then we are tied to it. Thats why i want to get adleast an outpost out there for selling data and also maybe some mining to change it up and have a bit of freedom

Well wait, "they" haven't sent us anywhere. We've been going off a lot of best guesses and hunches based on the framework currently uncovered.
