The colour of their ships is clearly important for some reason. Would it not be simpler to ask them "what is the colour of your ship?". Then it would be simple to determine who is the liar.

Yes, but in the riddle you could ask only ONE question (the door riddle I mean)
 
Can someone confirm if this is a bug? PSR J0737-3039B was one of the first systems somebody brought up that had binary neutron stars, I went there and found no binary stars, then later someone said that PSR J0737-3039A ( note the only difference being the last letter ) had a binary system, I typed that in and got no result, then i realized that when i hover my cursor over system PSR B in the galaxy map, it would change to PSR A, Two different systems with two different names in the same exact location. I've restarted the client and it persists.

SO ??
 
Dear Commander Granger!

Myself and a group of 8 or so other commanders is awaiting your arrival in Apademak. Please do friend me, CMDR Hagglebeard, so we can drop down into a secure instance far from the star to commence communication.

If you do not oblige, and we do find you, we will forcefully pull you out of warp and commence negotiation. We hope to not destroy you, so please be courteous and generous with your information, and you will not be harmed.

Yes, but we can now only ask one person. So what if he is telling the truth? Then we still have the other two to eliminate
 
I don't think this is the case of one lies and the other tells the truth riddle thing.

It is clear that the one asking for tobacco is the liar, simply because he sent us to bring the tobacco to somewhere we just can't. And if the sentence is "he always lie", we must assume that absolutely everything he says is wrong.

So I'm in deep space exploration for 6 months now, and since my SRV got destroyed along the way, I've decided to check out Jacques, and then return to the bubble to be able to take part in The Hunt.
Dillon: "Rocky planet at Latitude 34 near a binary pulsars" Kohl: "One of my Friends always lies, the system has a single m-Class Star"
I'm making my way towards Jacques, following today's events here & on frontier forum, and on twitch stream. Fun times. And then, out of the sudden, I jump into a system with binary neutrons, one main-sequence star, and one landable planet orbiting the binaries. WAIT, WHAT?!
Can't check it out as I don't have an SRV. My hopes are, that Jacques will fix me up and sell me one. Then I can return and investigate (hopefully in a few hrs.)
The system is ~3k away from Jacques station. It would make only sense if frontier wanted to combine both bubbles in the hunt. Also, Pulsar is quickly spinning neutron star. The way I read it is, they lied about "rocky" and "m-class". Ideas?

Heh, that'll sure put a tinfoil hat on ya!

Anyway -- you could always try to do a low pass orbit at Lat. 34 (first coordinate) around the planet, using good old Eyeball Mk.I... in case it's something large :)

P.S.: Could you please refrain from colouring your font? It's unreadable in the dark forum theme...

There has never been a mechanism in game without a CG (even that's stretching it a bit) that creates an event by delivering commodities to a station. In both cases they state "Bring Me". I'm pretty sure they want the items personally.

And what stops a random CMDR accidently delivering the item unknowingly?

No sure really.

Just reading through it, given typical English use my interpretation of...

Person A : "I visited a rocky planet at latitude 34 near binary pulsars."

Followed by...

Person B : "One of my friends always lies. The system has a single M-class star."

Means person B heard what person A said and is offerring a correction. Not sure I read it as a strict puzzle like interpretation as "every part of this sentence is false".

I have no idea really, but my feeling is...

"I visited a rocky planet at latitude 34 near a single M-class star."

is likely correct. (unless of course person B is the liar :O)

If the colours are significant what do they tell us? Traffic lights? red->yellow-> else (green?) / Star types?

Is the time significant they arrive at? 10->15->21?
-> If this is a row of numbers, then 10->15 =+5/ 15->21 =+6 so it would continue to 21 ->28 =+7 hmmm.
Is the adding time scale a hint? Time is a "length" right?
"We waited a LONG time", longitude +56?

Is the shiptype significant? T9/ASP/Cobra?

Is the flight route the ships took important?

Some thoughts.

So what your saying is on the galactic map at latitude 34 there is a single m class star with a landable rocky planet?

I haven't been around for the other hunts or big events as I just started playing again in the past month so I'm curious: Have we interacted with NPCs with similar behavior in a "ship to ship trade" scenario before? Do you think that another CG will pop up in a similar fashion to todays one further into the hunt?
 
If this event would span for more than a day, and those CMDR NPCs will be available tomorrow, then we can give them Narcotics and Tobacco directly for more clues.. And also it means that Dillon was not lying about Tobacco. Just a thought.
