If it is any consolation, your role in cracking the messages was fantastic and will be remembered for a long time o7

hehe, well.. that's where I'm going to stay from now on. I'll sit in my Asp, working out clues and codes, and someone else can chase ghosts in-game for 12 hours. I'm done o7

btw, we won't know the actual system until the three npcs have been found, and we play Knights and Knaves with the clues. So pointless searching for a planet at this point

Loki Tan, a system with a single M class (red dwarf) star, 110Ly from Cail. Loki was the Norse god of mischief and lies.

HIP 22182, a single M class star system with a permit lock 26Ly from Cail.

That's all I could gather from the galmap and Reddit comments, could be worth checking out.

Well they spelt "loser" right, that's makes me think it's not some player fake. =p

Posting again as pages getting spammed and ideas getting lost.

Too many posts to keep up with on my phone but has anyone thought of this;

The red dude carrying fish. . . People are saying nothings happened, right? Some might say this guy was a red herring. . .

(for those who arent familiar with the term, a red herring is an intentionally led distraction. . .)

Thoughts?

I think that's the consensus at the moment.

Whoever wanted the overtime most?

Hang on...don't they have a Slave/Intern at FD?
Working for free on a Sunday sounds like intern-work to me!

I'd do it for free if it gave me the opportunity to be involved with this kind of story telling at FD itself

Which is why C&P is currently broken. The obvious answer would be to limit the number of reincarnations, but there are probably subtler ways of implementing improvements.

It should be done like in Lineage 2, like, if someone murders an innocent CMDR it won't generate a bounty, and he must destroy 500 wanted ships for every innocent CMDR killed before he is clean and allowed to dock again, and dying won't save him from that task, and every time he dies before he is "clean", the rebuy cost of his ship will be 100%.

I haven't checked if Apadamke has landable bodies, but if they do, one easy way to avoid SDC's interdictions is to sit in supercruise within the orbital cruise zone, where interdiction doesn't work.

This has been mentioned numerous times since yesterday, which is probably why nobody is picking up on you mentoining it now mate.

And the one of seven refers to the 7 pleiades sisters, which confirms Merope.

Merope was not the mother of the messenger her Maia was

It isn't getting lost .Most people are probably ignoring it because we all know. It has been talked about a lot already.

If it is a FDev playing a Cmdr as an NPC how would they join you in Solo?

I obviously wouldn't expect them to - I would however expect them to be explicit (hell, a hint would do) and let the vast numbers of commanders know it wouldn't be something they could experience.

As pointed out earlier in this thread - it's a bit sh*t having an implementation that excludes all but one open instance's worth of commanders

Looking at the screenshots where you see the medical convoy messages, just wondering if Kohl a nod towards Star Trek as Kohl was the Klingon mythlogical Deiety-Patron of Medicine.

That response has been given by a mound of people in the past 10 hours unfortunately, it's lost in the spam because it's already been addressed XD

I really feel like a dodgy so and so sitting in Supercruise with a cargo full of narcotics waiting for someone who might no show.

CMDR Logan Kohl is not a fake, the images are not fake, please stop arguing if it's a fake or not and BRING HIM SOME NARCOTICS so that he can give us more clues thanks.

That is true, but Merope was the one pursued by Orion...

EDIT:

You're correct, I was reading the riddle wrong, it refers to the mother and not to the one of the seven which was pursued. It's Maia indeed.
