The Formidine Rift Expedition 3302
- Thread starter Eisen
- Start date
Just signed up! Been out for a week but haven't seen anyone or anything yet. Just thought I'd introduce myself in case anyone crosses paths with me.
I will be heading back down there soon. I am currently on the far side of VY Canis Majoris. I need to stop by the Pleiades and check out the newly found alien shipwreck, then I will be on my way. Sorry about the hold up - Canonn needed me for the hunt, though I am free now to come back and help with the search, and I already have a pretty good start on the work packet that was given to me by CMDR The Tick. I have signed on for as many weeks until around October 15th, though I may be able to stay on longer, depending on what Canonn may need.

Thanks to both of you and welcome to our expedition!
Important mission amendment:
Due to the very recent discovery of a crashed alien ship in the Pleiades we now strongly encourage every pilot leaving human-inhabited space not to go unarmed or even unarmed and unshielded! This is for defensive reasons only. Nobody knows where the ship came from but this first confirmation of an advanced space-faring alien lifeform is inspiring and worrying at the same time. If anyone out in EAFOTS makes first-contact please don't shoot first. Just be prepared to defend yourselves if things go wrong.
OP updated

Roster updated.
++++ Opening galactic broadcast channel ++++
Calling all CMDRs enrolled into the Formidine Rift Expedition 3302
with some interim statistics on our search efforts:
2 weeks into the expedition
70 CMDRs have signed up
33 CMDRs have reported back so far with
more than 3100 systems searched,
while we haven't heard from 37 CMDRs, yet.
Hopefully you are all well.
We recommend to go armed and protected.
Fly safe out there!

I hope to arrive in my allocated part of Eafots this week.
Since leaving Jaques, I have been searching for sites of potential archaeological interest in the Scutum-Sagittarii Conflux, for further investigation after 2.2. My top priorities are landable moons of Earth-like and Ammonia Worlds but I've also been recording landable terraformable worlds, 'green' systems (those containing all the materials required for jumponium) and anything that catches my eye as being a place that a spacefaring civilisation might want to build an outpost on or near. Once I've sold the data I'll report on my POIs more fully; so far my most interesting finding has been a landable moon of an Earth-like World in a 'green' system near the Wind Chime Nebula (although this is not in the Conflux region). I have also encountered my first Earth-like World around a neutron star (although it was previously discovered) and a very low-mass Ammonia World (only slightly more massive than the current UC record-holder). Landable terraformables seem rarer than both Earth-like and Ammonia Worlds, as I have only found two, so far, compared to five each of ELWs and AWs.

Pretty sure it was a random audio glitch but I heard some strange sounds in EAFOTS JQ-G c10-3 that I haven't been able to replicate. I was around the sole star in the system and heard a sorta static crackling noise sorta like in the SRV. I dropped out of SC and went back in and it was gone, and jumping into and out of the system and flying around the star for 10-15 mins I wasn't able to hear it again.

Signed up! and as soon as I get back from Jaques I'll swap ships, refit and head out... The frontier is calling me and I must heed the call of the sirens song...

You can keep me on the roster until the next exploration CG (Kara Zorel). I'm still out here looking, lol.
Hello guys, i'm currently investigating around the Rift area.
I was wondering, did anyone got interested in the O and B stars cluster not far from H&S Nebulaes ?
The RR line seems to go trough the cluster, could it be possible that the "constellation" we're searching on the skybox could be revealed there, in the closest star of the RR line ?
Anyone got answers for me please ?

IC 1805 looks to be fairly well explored. I had a brief look a few nights ago as a sightseeing opportunity. I think the RR line runs past it.
There's some hot starts in there - I saw one of them, HD 15558, at 103,540 °K. It is bigger, has more mass, is hotter and is also much older than it should be. A prime candidate for going supernova within the next 2 million years.

This morning I encountered a degraded emissions signal source (threat 0) in EAFOTS GI-B D13-5, which contained a large survey data cache amidst the remains of what appeared to be either a Federal Dropship or a Federal Gunship. This is just over 8000LY from Sol! The signal source appeared whilst I was supercruising to the only planet in the system, about 22Kls from the entry point (the planet itself is about 88Kls from the entry point). I intend to hand the data cache over to the Children of Raxxla in the hope that doing so may reveal a clue as to whatever is out here (there is a black market at their home system, I guess? I know it's an anarchy government so I shouldn't get fined if I get scanned with it on board). Have many signal sources been found in EAFOTS previously?

P.S. What's Operation Guardian Angel? Before I came out to the Rift I was looking around some nebulae near the edge of the Scutum-Sagittarii Conflux, in order to find sites with potential for future xenoarchaeological exploration, so I can turn in my scan data to the CoR as well if it will help.

I'm not convinced the Conflux and Hawking's Gap have anything there to worry about. I think Salome's message may be sowing the seeds for 2.2 when those regions will become 'places of interest'.
For the time being I would use Operation Guardian Angel purely to gain the merits needed for Colonial Marine rank with CCN, and not worry too much about an in depth survey like Eafots. After 2.2 the Conflux mission could be a whole new ball game
