Still think my Pink Floyd version is better
Yea, but that one is reserved ruins mystery, isn't it?
So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)

YES That was the exact noise. Seems to be a bug then!
o7 Excellent thank you for helping me figure that one out. I have been properly confused about that.
It's good to know I wasn't just hearing things then! (...although that doesn't confirm/deny the fact I may still be crazy for other reasons...
Yeah, I posted to this thread earlier about hearing a repeating noise, I was told it's an audio bug. It's the same sound used in surface salvage missions when the scanner is attempting to pinpoint where exactly the wreckage is. It surprised me when I did my first surface salvage. Somehow that noise gets put on loop and goes away when you drop out of supercruise, log out, or jump to a new system. The glitch is pretty rare and I've only had it happen to me about 4 times so far.

As there's nothing new to go on there's not much else to do than resift what we got to see if there's anything new to be squeezed out of them. In this case this one's been fermenting for 30 years apparently unnoticed and I was half hoping to bump into a uss with only a case a liquor but alas sober still.
Here's the thing Drew has confirmed his mind works with mythy muck and while he has not confirmed and why would he, he has neither denied that there's anything more or less with Roc but as he's played with it once like a dog to it's vomit he may play with it again. If he's someone with a mythic artistic bent and knowing for god knows how many years that anagram was there and festering in his subconscious,,,and not telling anyone about it? And if he didn't know he does now.
Anyway in terms of the passage "Shall we", mean the coordinates in question were there for Salome and Hassan in plain sight
and that RoC has nothing to do with it.

It's a dramatic device, to feed into Salome and Hassan meeting up with his brother on their way out to the frontier.
If the coordinates were meaningful than they would have already found the answer.
If it makes you happier, pretend they were the coordinates to wherever the Old Woman parked her Cobra.

I think that this is the most maddening thing about this whole mystery. ie - We've found so many bugs that fit perfectly into the clues that it gets to the point that we may actually ignore the actual thing we are meant to find.
Z...
From my own reading and looking at the analysis of others it seems as though we are really looking for an absence of something. Maybe something which has been stripped away.
What that might be I don't know. Could it be a missing named star like Cass A or could it be a missing number of ELWs? Sir Jelon and I spoke the other night and we both mentioned we had found several Ammonia worlds. I have found one ringed ELW on the journey in but it was 500lys in front of the H and S nebula.
Is there a count of ELW's in the Rift? Do people feel they are finding more or less than usual?
I've found 4 Ammonia worlds so far in the area of the H&S, seems a lot to me compared to one ELW.
I was also curious about the twin ELW's found by Salome, I went to have a look but found nothing unusual. It did make me wonder what she was doing over there as it is a long way off the RR line and the stars do get quite thin round there.
So to sum up, not only am I looking for something unknown in a an unknown location I'm also looking for something which might not be there.
Hmmmm.
Might go back to being a Pirate.

Good thought, that. HOWEVER, that would mean the previous state would have needed to have been written away or be accessible to new players entering the game today, eg. by access to current data records (present day astrography? - bad game design if it'd require resources from outside the game; galnet?)
Elite Dangerous "claims" to be a 1:1 representation of the Milky Way. That alone means that out of game tools are fully in play. Real world astronomy plays a key role in where objects are located in the ED sky.
Remember, we were given a clue recently. The 2.2 update makes whatever it is easier to find. So some change that we know about (like neutron stars, planetary maps, etc).
However, Drew has stated (see the OP) that you don't NEED out-of-game tools, that all the information is in-game.

Depends who you talk to. However, my own hunch is that we're missing something in the Heart nebula [maybe Soul, but am less convinced], due to various clues and comments:
EAFOTS
"Nebula are good places to hide things"
Core [cor=heart] of the problem
The ship name 'heart and soul'
However, most of the systems there are well-explored, so you might prefer to search beyond it somewhere if you'd like more first finds.
I got "the ring moon" plus some leftover letters from "right on commander"; much like screws from IKEA, right?

My understanding of this quote was that they made whatever it is easier to find, not that the actual 2.2 changes make it easier directly.

We don't know. The geographical clues we have in hand, roughly in order of distance away from Sol (nearest to furthest) are:
- Children of Raxxla patrol line (inner limit).
- Heart and Soul Nebula (Cobra's ship name).
- EAFOTS (lies just beyond Heart and Soul).
- Decrypted message which appears to refer to Camelopardalis, Perseus and Cassiopeia constellations (note: Heart and Soul lies in the middle of these in the night sky as seen from Sol).
- Old lady holofac messages suggests you actually need to cross the rift to find "it" (who knows how far).
We also have the Reorte-Riedquat line, which basically points in the general direction of all of the above, and a one-time reference to undisclosed strange happenings in The Confluence and Hawking's Gap, which are not even remotely close to any of the above.
I headed out past H&S for the first time. And... I found something weird.
I thought... those look really lumpy and weird. At first I assumed it was my video card on the fritz. Nope.
A system of only 0.0002ish earth masses. All landables. All tiny and just weird.
I drove around on one of the mini planets, found a crashed probe, but I didn't stick around long.

Or perhaps Eafots OB-L systems?
