Just said it was a place "near" binary pulsars, that's a lot of real estate tbh. Near could be within 100 ly in terms of the galaxy map. From the phrasing it does not even mean in -system :S

Actually, all neutron stars spin. Pulsars have a rotation that is off from their magnetic poles, hence the pulse. Still means it's difficult to know which ones are pulsars in game, but yeah, we have to say those that are known pulsars are pulsars. For proc gen neutron stars, were have no clue.

Wait, I think I've figured it out. These people want narcotics, tobacco and brandy, correct? Well then, there can only be one explanation.
Snoop Dogg has survived to the year 3302 and he is planning one HELL of a party.

We did the same thing with a wing of Canonn boys on discord.
That planet sure has a lot of activity for one small icy moon in a crippled and cold system with not much going on.
Near several regions, the creepy ambient sound was so strong (you know which one I'm talking about), it was easily audible over the sounds of my ship going full speed ahead with all systems online. I don't know the sounds are anything significant because I hear them on a lot on barren planets but these were just so loud compared to what I'm used to.
I spotted three shadows in formation, like those of three ships flying in a wedge. I followed them in the SRV for a bit but lost track of them when the shadows passed over a hill. When I reached the top, they were gone. No, there were no NPC ships around to be seen on on the sensors. However I think this is either a glitch or a very strange eclipse where the shadows of some planets passed right over where I was.
Anyway, I still think Pic Tok is interesting. It popped out of nowhere in the CG message and fits Granger's message, together with Kohl's advice if we assume Dillon is the liar.
We definitely need more precise location data to go on, it's truly a needle in haystack scenario without even the mineral deposits that somehow help with barnacles.
This was probably mentioned before, but do you guys remember that old promo video for the Wings patch? With the Type-7 carrying cargo to Leonard Nimoy station? Well, one of the wing member is CMDR Kohl
Nice spot
obviouslyits Kole
Has anyone actually sold any brandy? I know the baccy couldn't be sold because of lies, but the first CG was a fix-up to give us what we needed - not setting a precedent for the others.
In fact, the very fact that tobacco couldn't be sold where Dillon said it was wanted means what (s)he was a lie.
However, the brandy can be sold where requested, and we were told that if we do, then there'll be another clue.
So rather than naval-gazing we should look to deliver as much as we can - someone or something at FD is monitoring the numbers sold in the same way as meta alloy numbers are monitored, and waiting for a watermark to be reached before pushing out another clue, I think.

>Yeah, it's quite cool. Though the whole shebang being in octal was kind of a clue
Concerning binary pulsars, these are really rare, and very usefull to test GR, I would guess we're looking
at real ones. So, looking at GR tests with binary pulsars could be a good source of potential
locations.

I did. Same as many of us. Nothing happened
There's no reason they have to spin; non-rotating neutron stars can exist just like non-rotating black holes can. Neutron stars spin down as they effectively shed rotation energy via their magnetic fields. I don't know if the universe is old enough for any to have spun down to a stop though.

I am at work ATM.
I suggest to take a look in-game, to see if some CG pops up in the 3 systems.
No cg yet (on xbox)
If Dillon isn't lying about the tobacco, there is a McMullen Vision in the Chertan system. Tobacco is legal there.
Don't believe that just cos it's a bank Holiday in the UK that EVERYONE takes the day off, thats bollox......I WORKED almost EVERY Bank Holiday for 7 sears in my previous job.
The FD office isn't shut, there's Devs working.
Something popped into my head but I'm at work and can't do much about it...
We know of three systems directly related to the hunt, Pic Tok, Apademak and Cail.
One asked for narcotics, the most widely known special narcotic is Onionhead.
Other for tobacco, let's assume this is Kamitra cigars.
Lastly we already have a direct request for Lavian brandy.
Can we do any geometric wizardy with these six systems or can there be some other significance to their locations I wonder..
I don't think this is a strong lead, I must add, just a far fetched curiosity.

and cabbage is a euph for marijuana..........tricky
We tried, but strange to say the cargo is always gone at the destination point and the hull is down to 5%. (Not for real)
Actually, if the parent star is spining in any way, the resulting neutron star will too (conservation of angular momentum). It is possible to have non rotating neutron stars, but this would be most rare/unlikely.
The neutron star usually rotates much faster than the parent, like an ice-skating dancer bringing its arms close. Only in the neutron star case, one goes from a star with a radius of ~M km, to something
measuring 10-20km. That induces a dramatic spin up.
