Yes, this. What the hell were people expecting?! They literally said "The hunt starts at the 28th". Starts. As in, it won't conclude untill later. So yeah, the culmination of this hunt will very probably coincide with the release of 2.2.
Seriously, anybody that expected MAJOR THRGOIDS APOCALYPSE N STUFF today really should get a grip. I hear people being disappointed, referring to the shots of alien ships interrupting Braben's interview. It only stands to reason adding major game assets like that would only take place
in a major update, i.e. when 2.2 drops.
I don't know about you guys, but I had fun today just following this thread and all the tinfoil theories, watching some Twitch streams of people that were on site, and just the general buzz surrounding all of this.
Come 2.2, I think more spectacular events will be waiting and I for one am fine with that.

Yeah, everything looks now much better when i imagine that this will continue for a month or two. Chasing systems.

Gimme my self entitled aliens. :)

Agree in part on Dillon, I think we will find some half truths in there as well so it could be we are looking for one of a binary pair of ice planets, i am also thinking rather than 2 parts it will be 3, perhaps 1 a week.

So next week we will find out from kohl more of what dillon is lying about and possibly other planet types from Granger, then the week after the final clues if nothing has been found by then

by a using basic logic i can determine

that our sytem is eiter araund the plaideas

or nearby to the current location!

Here's the recap I've alread put on the FP:

1) Logan Kohl (Red Trader), found in Cail at 10:00, told us "One of my friends always lies. The system has a single M-class star." He also offered a second clue in exchange for narcotics.
2) Mahina Dillon, found in Apademak at 15:00, (last seen in Pic Tok, from the decoded CG text...), told us "I visited a rocky planet at latitude 34 near binary pulsars." He also offered a second clue in exchange for tobacco.
3) CMDR Otto Granger found in Apademak at 21:00, saying"I visited a system with 10 bodies and one sun. after the incident I woke up in a system far away." He asked to bring him Lavian Brandy in Scott Orbital, to give us some other clues.

I suspect we'll have to bring all the three required goods to the three of them in the near future, to acquire more clues.

I'm inclined to agree that, although it sucks nothing too exciting happened today, this is going to lead to some CG's and then a final culmination with 2.2. I too feel it was wasted day for those who participated today, we should have been given something awesome to end the first day. But like he said, some aspects are done in open, the finding of the clues, some can be done either way, the subsequent CG's to follow. Granted, I did get to meet some cool CMDRS and see more than I normally would and I had some fun while meeting them.
 
So...just give you all secrets right away? People didn't mind decrypt UP/UA, nevermind they follow same logic. Anyone expecting this to be done within a day....like why?

Well you see the UP/UA where actually a good addition and an ingame feature everyone can get ingaged with. As for advertising today as something special to just sit here trying to get in the same instance with a CMDR to eventually just be advertised a future CG now thats lame as hell. i dont really care howlong it takes them but they could have adleast added something anything not just text as usual. It would take not long at all to just drop something into the instance for us to actually be excited for 2.2.

just let me get some high end logic going and this pice of paper thats in front of me
and ill give you a new clue riz

I'm not saying this should be done in a day. If you want build up suspense, you have to present something interesting, not the n-th iteration of the same "riddle". And there should be at least SOME reward. But so far the net gain of information since GC is ZERO.

So you had fun doing things that didn't involve actually playing the game? While that may be entertaining, I think that says quite a bit about the current state of ED.
 
Cmdrs

here's a full theory:

kohl speaks truth.
ditton lies and speaks the opposite of everything
and with granger's info,
here it is :
a single star sytem (opposite of binary)
m class star(what kohl said)
with 10 bodies
one of them is a landable ice planet (opposite of rock)
and the cords are either:
long or lat 68
or -34 long or lat
the hunt can begin


Reasonable.

I guess the coord. is 34 long.
 
Lol SDC killing all players in Apademak and Hunting down the Cobra to wipe it out.

At least theyre having some fun out of this......
 
I'm still interested in Pic Tok as a possibility.

It's got 10 bodies except the star, the star is M type. The only landable body is an icy one, as opposed to rocky, what Dillon said.

The fuzzy video clip seemed to show some crashed 'thing' on an icy area. Today I've spent some time around lat 34 on that moon with some Canonn guys, and there were some interesting areas where the night sky scene looked upon some astronomical landmarks such as the LMC.

lat 34 is probably is a lie too but that moon and its sky is certainly interesting.
