So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)

I don't think there will be winners or losers per say.

I think both will have there own outcomes irrespective of what happen in the other. EG if X amount is delivered for CoR then this happens. If it is Y then this happens. Separately, if X is delivered to the Feds, this happens, if it is Y then this. And they won't be mutually exclusive.

I hope that's how it pans out, though that would be an extremely complex set of scenarios for FDev to figure out.
I'll be happy if we even get a sliding scale of effect, based on the difference between the two CGs - anything but a binary win/lose.
 
It might be really simple. Something like: If the CoR CG hits Tier 1 or more X happens. If the Fed CG hits Tier 1 or more Z happens (given hitting Tier 1 normally deems a CG a success, even if it is a poor success).

In this scenario there would be four possible outcomes:

Outcome 1 - Nothing happens
Outcome 2 - X happens
Outcome 3 - Z happens
Outcome 4 - Both X and Z happen

I'd be very happy with that :)
 
Came back early and dumped my data. its put me in the top 10% and nudged the tier up to a hairs breadth off 3. Hopefully that should climb more as the CG gets closer to ending.

Also I have a load of large data caches, the bm is offering rubbish money for them but I take it they dont contribute do they? Probably going to look for a better price elsewhere.

How many systems got you into the top 10%, if you don't mind me asking?
 
You are right in that there is a lot of leeway for interpretation, but the quote Jaiotu saved me the bother of finding, which you missed out of your collection of quotes, is indeed what I was referring to. And of course, it is my own interpretation that she is saying we need to cross it.

It is paradoxical. She, at once, says you need to cross it to see what she found, and that she never crossed it.

EDIT: actually she does not even say that. She says know one has crossed it and came back. One would assume (but yes, it is my own assumption) she is implying she did. IE "I did impossible thing A. No-one has ever done Impossible thing A (but I just did)"

My take on this is that there is no contradiction. At the time the old woman was talking to Salome people had gone across the Rift but, since thier minds were wiped, nobody had crossed the Rift and live to TELL THE TALE (sorry on mobile and italics are too much work, not yelling). The yelling the tale is the thing. Somebody was taking the time to erase people's memories of what lies beyond.

IIRC, the 'nobody has crossed it and lived' part was when she was in the hospital, telling 'ghost stories' to an impressionable young woman.
Whilst the 'plot your way across' was in the holovid and was part of detailed instructions on how to find the mystery.

That's two completely different contexts - one dramatic, one factual - which to me explains the change in the level of detail and accuracy.
 
The community always has a herd focus to focus on one thing, it doesnt do distributed gaming and searching very well, possibly as it takes away the multiplayer element of wings. But in this mystery around the top bottom and edges of the box need to be checked as well

Pretty much my purpose for this trip - checking the fringes, I may not even go to the beacons themselves, seeing as there are enough recordings and photos that I'll not gain anything from it anyways...

I suspect there will be a big jump in tiers in the last few days as people get back. I myself am timing my return for the last few hours of the CG.

I am searching through EAFOTS sector at the moment.
Some minutes ago it is the second time I heard this strange sound right after entering a system. This time I had some recording software ready.

I jumped into the system with thrust set to zero. Music was muted. Immediately I noticed a strange sound right in front of me. But there was nothing to see.
I started the recording and waited a little bit. Then I checked my left panel and made two turns with my head (EDTracker). As you can hear, the sound was in front of me. After that I tried a 'honk'. After that you can hear some sorting of shutting down sound.

Strange... What is this?

Not sure. Is it reproducible?
 
Weird...you exit one planet's orbit and immediately enter the other's...

I didn't do a proper count. I will log into EDd and check at some point. In total I earned 14 million. That wAs lower than it should have been as I honked and scooped the majority of the return journey for speed. I suspect players who have explored on both legs plus their EAFOTs data will have much more.

I'm going to quit now for a bit, but I'll keep an ear to the ground for news.

Sure sure now you tell me after I spent weeks with buttclenchingly low fuel levels so I had my range back on the other side. Every single jump Warning Fuel Low argh - almost ran utterly dry when I got back out as I'd just stopped hearing it!

You live and learn eh!

I flew all the way out well below the plane but just kinda forgot about it after some serious claustrophobia trying to pick a way across to the left of the Heisenberg Bridge. Once I'm back on the horse I might loop around from that side again to tick off a few ling things I didn't follow up but if someone could beat me to it and save me the lys that'd be just grand too

ps. seriously? the word for a worry that continues to itch at you starting with N gets censored? touchy today mr forums

I would "to laugh at someone or something in a silly and often unkind way" to this sensitivity, but that gets edited also
