Ah ok, no problem!
So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)

Here's a little back-of-beermat drawing of the EAFOTS region, if anyone is having trouble visualising it.
The populated bubble is off the bottom of the picture. It's viewed looking "down" at EAFOTS region, from above the galactic plane...

Was that RALLYPOINT 2? Or RALLYPOINT C2?
The former hints at a numerical sequence of beacons.
The latter hints at local in-system locations, ie. landable bodies. That's odd, as LZ-H doesn't have a simple body "1". You'd expect "D1", as that is the first landable body.
I'm inclined to think they are beacon numbers, but that's based on very little info, and a big dollop of guesswork. So feel free to run with any other theory, lol.
It's landable bodies, and that beacon was definitely C2. LZ-H numbers beacon *is* actually D1; the previous transcript was in error and we've since corrected it with the primary source (audio recording).

Is there a list somewhere of useful bookmarks like that that one can put to use?
My (probably wobbly) bookmarks...
The EAFOTS cube (with some high-up corners missing due to sparseness)
EAFOTS AA-A C0
EAFOTS PA-A D2
EAFOTS UI-X C28-17
EAFOTS XD-Z D13-41
EAFOTS DH-C D0
EAFOTS TC-C D0
EAFOTS EK-C D14-2
EAFOTS TK-C D14-2
Wholly arbitrary markers of where the "sparse region" begins (which I'd assumed was the infamous Formidine Rift)...
MYOIDEAU HA-Y C14-1
MYOIDEAU JS-S C17-0
MYOIDEAU OK-N C20-0
HYPIAE AIM MF-A D1
...and where the sparse region stops being so sparse...
HYPIAE AESCS GA-H C10-0
HYPIAE AESCS GR-N D6-4
HYPO AEB UK-N B34-0
HYPO AEB XG-B C27-0
Hope those help. And are transcribed correctly, lol
Absolutely no numbers beacons, to my knowledge (which is extensive since I've been one of the primary people cataloguing them as part of the Canonn Survey Team), have ever been found orbiting a star. They have all been orbiting planetary bodies. Edit: I would encourage extensive searching. So far all these new ones have been within 1,000Ls of their parent stars, but that doesn't hold true for the beacons that have been found in the Bubble. It's possible some may be well beyond that range (likely depending on how fast FDev want us to find these things).

Exodus, dynasty and rift. Did Space Moses open a path across the empty abyss?

Here's another view with the Heart and Soul. I still wondering if any of the clues pointed us to the probes, we just never found them, or the clues were just a general direction until FD was ready for the story to develop.
Once we get these new systems and rally points, I'll update the online 3-d model; it may help.
It could still work though because Community Goals can have global rewards. So all the players could be collecting exploration data from the bubble or Barnard's Loop or whatever, but FD could be recording and analysing all the data coming in and scanning it for relevance and salience. How close is it to systems where something is hidden for example. So even if most people are collecting data from elsewhere and selling it to the Feds for more money, commanders actually interested in the Rift mystery could be selling more useful data to CoR and this leads to more development of the storyline in the form of a global reward. This way players not interested in the mystery are rewarded by getting more money for their exploration data. Rifters are rewarded for going to the areas specified.
Not saying that it actually is like this though. Personally I would prefer it if exploration data had to come from specific sectors. It would then seem more meaningful.
To bad.
I sometimes get that rectangular shading effect when approaching the Ruin site. It could be a result of terrain flattening.
I have seen elsewhere as to, so it could be just a rendering bug.
Awesome work, Erimus.

Redefining or drawing us a region of the Rift to continue our searches in? While we're not 100% sure the gap between the New Arm and the Cygnus(??) Arm is the Formidine Rift, it has been accepted and not refuted (much). If indeed we need to cross the Rift, based on our current understanding of it, then what's secreted away is not going to be in EAFOTS but the sector beyond the Rift.
I went to the planet that the first conflux probe indicates (inside the same systrem) but found nothing. Probably it refears to the planet it's orbiting.
These being said the surface is too big for a single comdr to try to visually spot a POI on the surface (sigh, no surface scanners for pois or something).
