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

No I don't have Horizons - I would, but they haven't done a mac version.

Are you saying I need Horizons to complete this mission? My passenger just says she wants to go there. I assumed it would be a case of finding out what to do when I arrive. It's a bloody long way to go if it's going to be futile when I get there!

Surely they wouldn't give a Horizons-only mission to everyone?

Thanks for the tips and links.

There have been bugs where people without Horizons get missions to landable planets. I've not done many passenger missions so I'm not sure exactly what the mechanism for completing them is - especially out to a CoR Staging Point.

I'd post in the Dangerous Discussion thread to see if anyone there can answer better.

Post a screenshot of the mission description from your Transactions tab.

OK I'm not gonna read 492 pages to find someone has already had the same thoughts on the wiggly line thing!

But...in general...I'm just discovering all the 'plot' stuff in Elite having played for a few months just doing the missions, trading, combat and whatnot.

I must say it's a bit intimidating, hard to avoid sounding like an ignoramus. If there's some kind of Elite for dummies chat room I'll go there

It wasn't a jibe against you personally ... just a thought about how much fun we could have with someone :) I think every explorer who see NGC 7822 for the first time has the same "what the hell is that?" reaction. Exploring NGC 7822 is a right of passage.

This is most definitely "Elite for Dummies" in here. Always ready to welcome a new explorer to the madness ;)

My first exploration trip was actually a deliberate visit to NGC 7822 - so I had the joy of watching it grow from a tiny blob into a weird pink fetus, without the <really, no TLAs?> moment.

No worries. I didn't think it was a jibe and I've got a fairly thick skin anyway :)

So true! 7822.... the Siren of the Spinward Stars (as CMDR Zenith calls it).

A very apt description...

You're on it! Also see the Canonn thread (now on subthreadnaught 9) https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/300054-Alien-archeology-and-other-mysteries-Thread-9-The-Canonn/page562
I've been on here for a year, some for a good bit longer; I may have graduated from ignoramus to dummy, but I'm not fully convinced..
There is a wide range of skills & knowledge & usually everyone's willing to help out, just make sure you've read the first page summary!

PS if you're a relative noob then there are lots of guides around online. One for exploration is at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1nnVPJg7aggIJUomoHQ9STmseRJkREicL2UCJ1Dox5f4/present?slide=id.p

It was probably already here but when I read "No stations anywhere outside of the Bubble, except for Colonia. " ... Touristic beacon for Children of Raxxla gives info about some outpost. It can be station somewhere ... on orbit, planetary or maybe in asteroid field? Probably no because we never saw it (with exception of glitch). I tested the touristic beacon with tourist onboard but he didn't give me any additional interesting info - just said thank you and that he want go home.

would that be alpha or beta base, its an invisible base. As players cant build their own bases yet

The final debriefing for the Cassiopeia Project is now online. I'll be contacting Frontier via their Galnet submissions in order to try and work out a viable press release to describe the results of our expedition. Keep flying!

Awesome summary! I missed this expedition completely but I followed it as it was an awesome concept and mission. I wonder if there is any chance of Frontier updating the two systems now to be more indicative of what one would expect to see? It would be a nice homage to have actual points of interest that were unique for both of them IMHO, and the two resulting systems from the project seem to be the best candidates to use for that.

About a funny system along the RR pipe (sorry if already discussed) : HD 17638 (CMDR Emerald)

Main star is a huge non procedural B class twinned with a Black Hole in GalMap but catalogued as a Wolf Rayet by Simbad.( Why FDevs ?)
Sits inside OOCHOSS sector. Right where the Old Lady told the Rift was.
Sums no less than 8 Brown Dwarfs, some ringed, in close orbit around the main B star.
Some HMC too, all together in an odd and tight (1kLs) orbit configuration. The whole system bathing in a cute purple pinkish light. Two landables.
The BH gravitates all around this sympathetic family. Doesn't seem in a hurry to swallow them all ..for now.
Great view over the BD+61 678 (most amazing system) B class cluster pointing straight to the Rift.

The thing is, if you uncheck all the star class filters, the grid, pointer, waypoints etc.. to get the galaxy pitch black, a tiny fuzzy dot remains in the system location on the GalMap. Like a mini nebula.
Did anyone already see something like that anywhere in the GalMap?

Bizarre bizarre..
Vous avez dit bizarre? [wacky]
