Mr Gin.
Have you tried following any of the coordinates I came up with from your anagrams?
So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)

Have you tried following any of the coordinates I came up with from your anagrams?
Nope. I'm back in the Pleiades at the moment. Saving it for my next trip.
I think only one or two made any possible sense, did not check the Galaxy Map to see whereabouts they were. I'm out in the Rift at the moment and short of playing time so haven't been in-game much of late and likely won't be for a while.
Then again, Mr. Gin could make any of them work perhaps.

OK, I had another dig at the 'Right on, commander' sentence.
Now with an anagram. 'The Moon Card Mr Gin'.
[tinfoil]
The moon card is card 18 (XVIII) in the Raider-Wait Tarot deck.

You can read Wait's explanation of the cards meaning here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_(Tarot_card)
I gather everybody remembers that the Imperial ambassador to Earth is named Wait.
Kahina was given Gerasian liquor on her departure from Earth. Gin is a liquor and 'Mr Gin' has a the Moon in the logo.
So then, is this useful or just a funny coincidence?
I decided to take a look at EAFOTS system with XV-I in them and came up with EAFOTS XV-I B37-0. I figured it matched with the cards XVIII, using the last two II = B. 37 fit the alcohol content of the Gin(I guess the .5 is the planet).
Here it is:
It's 3 ly neighbor is also fascinating. A Double B0 VZ system EAFOTS YE-R E4-0. Must be hot there.
I have no idea if 'YE-R E4-0' has anything to with the presumed birth of Jesus in the year 4 BC and is the Christmas star.

It's not to far out, so have a look if you are close.
Geras - where the Gerasian Liquor comes from - is named for the Greek god/personification of old age.
Just sayin...
I found a map in a good explanation Video jump to 13:00:

Claims to be accurate but the Video is from 2013
I'm not sure we should be ignoring the fact that nearly the entire New Outer Arm is missing from the gal map.
I'm not at home, so I can't check the in game map, but from Ragnaros' pictures, it appears that the Outer Arm is just right, fading right around where our current understanding of the Formidine Rift is, and fading into the Outer Arm Vacuus in the galactic "South" of Sol.
But what if we shift the Formidine rift to be South Southwest of Sol? (Forgive the terminology).
That would place it more in line with Heart and Soul and EAFOTS, and might explain why our focus keeps being drawn there when we "know" the Rift is further west.
Now, if that's not crazy enough, big tinfoil moment here:
What if "IT" is something that is eating stars or otherwise causing them to vanish? The New Outer Arm should begin past the Outer Arm Vacuus and continue past the galactic "east" compass pointer. So, where the hell is it?
And if you go out into the Vacuus or outer edge of the Perseus Arm, maybe there is another arm of the galaxy there, hidden from the gal map. If so, that would match what a lot of people are saying regarding a coverup by Universal Cartographics and the Big Three.

Lots of cool versions of 'The Moon Card' out there. https://www.google.no/search?q=the+...957QAhXEfywKHcekDHIQ_AUIBigB&dpr=1.25#imgrc=_
I Like this one.
Most of them have wolves though.

The true position of the Rift has never been confirmed, all we had was that the current position was "broadly correct", which says to me it's not correct
Huh? Broadly correct is incorrect?
Broadly correct to me means you're out by a few hundred LYs, rather than a few thousand.
There's also the fact that if you move the Rift south-southwest then it kinda stops being a Rift. The Rift is currently centered on the part of the gap between Perseus and Outer arms with the lowest star density, that is, west of the Heisenberg crossing.

"Call me Don Key,,,"
4500 lyr detour,,, just next door
Just arrived,,
EAFOTS XV-I B37-0 http://imgur.com/a/zQZXw
and because its there EAFOTS XV-I B37-1 http://imgur.com/a/cRcRJ
will start detailed scanning
any ideas?
What next?
I think that being in the same rough galactic quadrant would qualify as "broadly correct," but I definitely agree, I'm stretching that phrase.
However, it would definitely still be a rift, just instead of being a rift between the Perseus Arm and Outer Arm, it would be a rift between the Perseus Arm and New Outer Arm.
That said, it could be completely unrelated, but I think it's odd that the New Outer Arm is almost completely missing.
This is from Drew on page 103 of Formidine Rift - Part 2 Thread
"Hi Folks, I have a moment to comment so will jump in here.
I did pen that Galnet article, but on rereading I can see how the confusion has arisen, please accept my apologies for that.
Here's what you were supposed to infer.
Salomé has indeed been part of the DW expedition and has followed them to Beagle point in order to look for 'something'.
The exploration data from the DW expedition has charted a route to Beagle point and thus we now in combination with other exploration activities undertaken in the last two years by players have many interesting routes out of the core worlds charted in various directions. These include the Rift, The Norma Expanse, the Core and many other areas.
The astrocartographer's comments were there to indicate that insufficient exploration has yet been undertaken in all these areas.
Thus, A few pointers for clarity:
Erimus' position for the Formidine Rift is broadly correct as per the map on this thread, so you are in the right area.
The DW expedition has not been associated with the Rift itself as part of their journey to Beagle point. (They are in tangential directions as per the map)
More will follow.
I will review future submissions in more detail to try to ensure less ambiguity - it's pretty tough to be specific without revealing too much, but I will do my utmost best to ensure you don't head down an unintentional line of enquiry. I am monitoring progress as closely as I can.
All the best,
Drew."
If Erimus was way off drew wouldn't have used the word "Broadly" and certainly wouldn't say "You are in the right area".

How me-poor-english understands it ... IMHO "broadly correct" means Erimus' Rift is too broad and englobes the actual Formidine Rift which is much more narrow. RR line/pipe across these galactical arms draws THE Formidine Rift.
Yeah, seeing what he wrote in context leads me to think you're right, Scytale.
Just frustrating, since commanders have been all over that area and found nothing. I was hopeful there was somewhere else to look.
Still doesn't explain why an entire arm of the galaxy is missing. But I guess that's just another mystery.

Right ... but is the GalMap intented to represent ALL the stars ?
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/21424-How-many-stars
Which is pretty much what I am thinking.
I think the noted location is a galactic arm too far, and H&S is already beyond the Rift.

It's not really missing, it is there, it's just less dense than the inner arms. Even then, on the galactic plain, it's still fairly dense with stars.

Z, drew pretty much said Erimus was correct

Exactly what I was thinking since the start. Old Lady spoke about RR line and the end of THE arm. Then: OUR arm. But later EAFOTS clue came to mud the water...

Yep, sure thing we are in the right quadrant ! Which is a good thing !
