A message from Alessia Verdi...
So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)
- Thread starter Legacy_LuckyLuke
- Start date
Just arrived at the Rift.
Visited the beacon, headed to C2 rally point in the same system can't see much here.
Anyone any pointers what to do next? Is there another thread that people are using or is discussion happening here.
I mean I can just start ADS scanning systems within 200LY as the Federation version of the CG suggests I suppose.

I have to admit that all this fuss about probes excited me. I will read the book and dig the lore, altough I still thing that some ingame info would be great.

I don't know if those probes point to somewhere. The ones in the conflux indicates the planets they are actually orbiting. When landable nothing has found on these planets.
It MIGHT be they are just the first part of a CG chain.
They also MIGHT be a Fed decoy: all real explorers go thousands of light years from the bubble, while Fed "explorers" win the CG jhonking the outskirt of the bubble.

This may have already been said, I tried to catch up on the exciting day/night. But, if the federation is trying to hide something out in these regions, why tell us exactly where they are? What if these places are close enough to the real thing that we believe it, but still a deception? Meanwhile, the federation with its Sirius probes have more time to find the real deal.
Also, the 200ly radius is only from the federation CG, so there may be answers beyond those boundaries once we're done searching within them.
Some tinfoil probably, but just struck me as odd. Wish I could join you guys, but I'm currently stuck waiting on a ticket to get me out of a neutron star stream a disconnect left me in 20kly from sol.[ugh]

It has also been mentioned by the Children of Raxxla that this is the area to be focused on.
Evening everyone. Seems a lot has happened since I left last night 
2 or 3 more beacons discovered in the EAFOTS region and I dont know how many in the other two. Were they decoded? Do they also indicate planets in their system as base camps? Could anyone be kind enough to wrap up what we got so far please?

I'm not doubting them. But while they aren't involved in a conspiracy (I hope), they probably don't know as much about what's out there as the federation. After all, they must have a reason to cover it up and work against the CoR, a reason we can guess at but we don't know.
So I'll agree that our search here is worthwhile, I doubt it will reveal "the answer."
Also, isn't the point of the CoR CG to prove Salomé's innocence, and the fact that we may learn more about the rift is a side effect?
Yes, mainly to prove her innocence, after that, who knows.
Whatever your interests may be, we hope that you make the right choice. Commander Salomé plays a pivotal role in uncovering the mysteries of the Rift.
Commander Alessia Verdi is a respected member of the Children of Raxxla and a person who is close to Commander Salomé.
--Out of character--
Alessia Verdi is played just like Salomé as an advanced NPC. They are played in a pure role-played fashion and is used by FDev as a tool to spice up the story with a more interactive touch. They may only be contacted when they are logged into Open.

Good evening cmdr`s
Im actually at Barnard`s Loop and scanning systems for the CoR CG. Whould it make more sense if i move to the Formidine Rift?

For the CG it doesn't make any difference where the data is from. So your BL data will be fine
But if you want to look for whatever is associated with the systems mentioned in the CG, then by all means come join the search in the Rift.
Well I'm rejoining the independent Cassiopeia Expedition and heading into the Rift proper, putting as many light-years between myself and the Eafots beacons and the CGs as possible. You want to explore the Rift and solve the mysteries of the Galaxy? Well you can work for the Feds or the CoR (they're not really the Empire's secret research arm; the Empire denounces them as terrorists). You have a free choice: you can have spinach or you can have cabbage. Which will you choose?! (Only don't question the authority that imposes such a choice.)
No thanks. L8rz Cmdrz—

someone made this amazing trello which tells you everything
https://trello.com/b/x24X6zQw/canonn-research-check-here-first
have been searching the eafots area all day, and have gone back over some systems as one of the beacons was found on the third star not the main star

I thought its a good idea to be at BL if the beacons put out the data but thats not the case so i think i moving to the FR. Thx
New to the forms and just how I'm reading all this as I bounce around the Rift...
So the Federation and/or its proxies are interested in "something" in these regions and have sent probes or small expeditions out to these areas. These probes or expeditions marked all the systems that related to this "something" with comms beacons and then moved on, presumably following some other orders or moving on to the next part of the missions or maybe even destroyed. These probes or expeditions either did not transmit the location data back to the Federation for security reasons or because they couldn't.
The Federation, not wanting to expend the resources (or some unknown reason) have sent independent pilots (expendable pilots) to find the beacons and send back the data from these locations. The Federation does not expect the pilots themselves to piece all the clues together. They expect the pilots to find some interesting structures, maybe an ancient alien diner but not see the bigger picture.
Somehow, the Children of Raxxla leader, Salomé, knows the big picture of what they're looking for out there and the Federation framed her in order to imprison and silence her. Her followers have caught onto this but do not know the big picture yet themselves. Their hope is that once they do, the fact that she was framed will become obvious. They don't actually know where to send pilots, only that they want to send to the same places as the Federation and hope those pilots give them the information instead of the Federation.
How this is going to play out I think is that we're not going to know the big picture answer after this CG. This is going to give us the locked door so to speak and another later piece of info will give us the key to opening it. Whatever is found in these areas isn't going to work for us; it's not going to interact in a meaningful way. Something later will tell us how to open the door. At that point, pilots will have to bring either some knowledge, a key, or a critical mass of items or item back to these areas.
Pure speculation? The Federation has become aware of a new alien race from information from the crashed Thargoid ships. But this race does not regard us as a threat or anything at all. We're ants and so are the Thargoids. The vast power of this alien race exceeds anything we (or the Thargoids) could accomplish by a long shot. They're hoping to gain knowledge from this new race without being squashed like the Thargoid ships were.

Someone may want to double check, but the probes in Hawkins Gap indicate landable planets that they themselves do not orbit. For example the first one found orbits the star, but says the rallypoint is A1a. A1a is a landable planet. I was fairly certain of this last night, but if someone wanted to check again and confirm, that would be good.
Of course C.o.R. is being manipulated as it was step up as a spoke on the Dark Wheel, shills for the wheel and we only have TOW's word on that. Perhaps the Dark Wheel is nothing but a front run by the INRA to pull in the alien hunter conspiracy minded folk. Why pick sides when you can infiltrate and run them all?
Maybe this is obvious but it looks like the CG information contains the "what". “We are looking for data from three specific zones in order to verify certain hypotheses. We want high-quality information on system configurations, planet types, spectral classes and compositions.” If only there was a way to compare that information between those three sectors we might see what aspects they have in common.
Had a disconnect while in a neutron's cone and unfortunately managed to steer my way out when I logged back in.
Does anyone know how much damage a power plant can get before you have real problems?
