I reckon it is a bug that pops up when travelling fast, from system to system and with one being quick to flick to the navigation panel just after jumping in.
I've seen it well away from the rift.
I'm not sure why some systems see it and others don't, but that might revolve around the number of planetary objects there.
Yea I was pleasantly surprised at the proximity of the CG to the area of interest. Although, if it is related story wise the CG description is lacking in flavor text imo. Unless both parties are actively trying to be vague describing why they're fighting. Both fleets just so happened to end up in Ku Moji and decided to kill each other to gather intelligence?
This is, in my opinion, either a) a combat CG just for the sake of having one that just so happened to occur within an AOI. Or b) a battle over something both parties would rather not publicly acknowledge with the story element happening behind the scenes.
I'll be doing some snooping around shortly to see if there's any merit to what I'm saying.

I've had ADS troubles too. Not scanning stars, taking an age to ping the results. Funny though, I had the same train of thought tonight regarding manually finding something in system. It would explain why an en-masse approach is how Drew thinks we would solve this. . .
I would absolutely agree with that and give up on this only if it weren't for the fact it is consistently reproducible in the same systems it occurs in - and the systems it doesn't occur in, it never does occur in. I can exit the game, jump from one star where it occurs, jump back, same thing happens. In some it also occurs continuously while in the star system. I've not seen this before in the Bubble, or on the way to the "Rift" either.
I also do NOT want anyone to waste their time on this. I'm just adding in this just in case someone else comes across something unique that could lead to a discovery. I'm pretty sure what we are looking for is larger than a single star system, simply because it was capable of being found before and most importantly - it may have been come across and not been realized which would be something like a strange HUD anomaly or whatever... just something that could have been noticed only if paying attention to strange anomalies or occurrences but also something apparently wide spread because it would have been come across but the person experiencing it didn't know what it was or if whatever is happening should happen. If it was possibly seen before but not realized it would be a pretty broad and unambiguous thing.
Of course, I'm no expert and absolutely the worst at discovering things since I miss the biggest indicators of something out of the ordinary all of the time.

Hey guys, posted this over in 2.2 location suggestions thread:
Hullo!
Found this guy last night, absolutely wonderful terraformed world with a super cyan atmosphere (I checked and its power level is indeed over 9000), I present to you: Londinium! There's an interesting thing about this system, Alexandrinus... It is "home to a lost, ancient civilisation with primitive beliefs in divinity". And here's the thing, unless they breathe carbon or sulphur dioxide, ammonia or nitrogen and/or are very fond of the cold, that means someone perhaps put them there on Londinium!
A historian, archaeologist, theologian, scientist and conspiracy nut's DREAM location.
So, yeah. Interesting. Terraformed and ammonia in the same system again. The best part? The Codex Alexandrinus is a fifth-century manuscript of the Greek Bible kept in London.
Arietis 51 (Area 51), is awesome too. It's on my Gilgamesh Duality tinfoil train, I did a system search for Uruk and came across it. Two terraformed worlds named after the ancient (lost?) cities, and a very conspicuous Hippoc Bioceuticals Research Station. Nice tie into Hippocrates (or as I like to call him, Hippo Crates). Cerberus Plague anyone?

:O
Londinium was the name of an ancient settlement located where London is today. Kahina visited London on April 2, 3301.
I pulled up "Londinium" on Wikipedia and was struck by the connection between Londinium and Queen Boadica - a very strong female leader, much like our friend Salome.
That got me thinking some more and I googled "Salome Boadica" and came across the book Boudica Britannia by Miranda Aldhouse-Green which contains the following passage:
Nice!! Awesome find.
Was Boudica around King Arthur's time? That planet looks like it could potentially be shrouded in the mists of Avalon. I'm thinking about the Holy Grail again now. The terraforming grail in this case perhaps.
Also, she burned and destroyed Londinium. Wasn't Salome involved in something similar with Hasan in Prism? I really need to read/listen to this book now. Nice one Drew!
Our Berber friend Kahina was also involved in a scorched earth campaign...
In fact, it seems they both repelled invaders for a time but ultimately lost and potentially both committed suicide.

No, because Arthur isn't real, but Boudica was.
Boudica was also about 50AD, only 100 years after the Romans set foot in Britain. Generally, people trying to historically place Arthur tend to do so after the Roman occupation, some time in the Dark Ages; over 500 years later.
Boudica burned Colchester, not London. Colchester was the Roman capital at the time, and the home of a lot of retired soldiers.
I think we threw the eclipsing binary pulsar out when discussing this earlier (way earlier).
However, please can someone put my mind to rest regarding this: IF the eb, p clue was just something Drew put in ages ago to test our cryptology skills then:
- why is cryptology important in all this and, more importantly
- why does he put the eb, p in another recent blog post unless it is either just a nod to the rifters community OR it relates to something not yet solved?
EB, P may have [just] been a Caesar Cipher for RO, C.
It was. No deeper meaning.
So why has he inserted it in that recent blog post?

Good morning from Miami
I got bored of flying around 'mythological' systems in the Bubble, trying to get the Rift Mystery to acknowledge my existence, so now I'm heading out to the Rift via a scenic route, to allow it to ignore me from a different perspective.

Another thing, sorry about post saturation.
I found a carbon-ammonia life planet, oxygen and ammonia atmosphere. This is from my Odyssey train. I searched for Circe on the galaxy map, saw Apollo appear nearby and had a squizz. Apollo 6:
It isn't anything new though:

Although... Michael "The Viking" Brookes' post suggesting hybrids is mighty interesting.

I never would have thought of that. Maybe we should go check some out, just in case?
I could take a break from what I'm doing to take a look. What systems is this happening in?
I'm in the Far Formidine chasing Dehzz's 1000's of earths, ammonia and water worlds thing. Have maybe checked out 1/6 - 1/5 of the systems in the area and have reached the provisional conclusion of "meh". More than usual, yes; significant maybe?

You guys would be far better of finding out what the tinfoil hats are really made of. Until Frontier add the content. There just isnt any.
