Well, chances are that whatever is causing the CTD is also preventing the assets from loading at all. The crash report posted earlier does suggest that the assets aren't loading. I won't say the file names given here as they could be spoilers, but needless to say Ill be excited to see it get fixed.
So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)
- Thread starter Legacy_LuckyLuke
- Start date

As will I, though sadly I'll be too far away to go and check into it. I'll be there in spirit though.
I just returned to the bubble and dropped off the exploration data with CoR. Now that I see that Drew has found out about the issue and talked to FDev about it, I guess I'm heading back out to the Rift tomorrow

Not sure if anyone's run across this yet, but Dr.Kaii ran across another beacon.

Best comment yet. Still laughing. I'll have to rep you when I get off mobile.

Wow, almost exactly the same number as reports as myself... I think I am 3 reports lower.
I honestly think the person responsible for this CG is a bit of a muppet, though. For most folk, it takes 2 weeks to get out there, should have been a 1 month CG.
I'd also like to see exploration CG's count individual scans (of bodies) as part of the total, or at leats based on money earned, rather than systems jonked. There really is very little encouragement to explore...

Or to expand upon that a bit by making it a TFC specific search or something. There's a lot they could do with this rather than just honk and move on.
Interesting, how close doe sone need to be for these to pop up?

Agreed. I had hope that this would be area specific for a while, but sadly, no. Nearly half of my own submissions were just the path to/from Eafots, and even though I did economical routing within the cube of the search area. I did very little actual scanning.
surely, there must be a way to encourage proper exploration? were it not for the CG cut off, I'd have happily done . a proper search of all those systems.
What is clear, though, is that Eafots has barely had it's surface scratched. There's a lot of unscanned stuff there, most of my Eafots systems were first discoveries, and this is within the search area that everyone is scanning to death.
Anyway, I shall hope. For now, I'll let those hanging around check the bugged landing site, I really need to spend some time blowing stuff up and finishing up my triple Elite before I head back. 25% dangerous, almost half way...

"Confusion intensifies" is more accurate
What system is that? My cap ran out so I'm on poverty internet (= blurry video).

Exploration CGs really don't work with alleged 'target areas' and there's a huge element of luck involved in the timing. I'm in the top 5 of the Feds because I was 65kLY into a trip to the east rim when the CG opened. Not a single scan from any target region and I already had 2,000 scans in the bag.
Not that I'm complaining
There are quite a few neutrons on the way out to H&S from the bubble, but they're not all main stars; some are mixed in with B class and O class. I managed to get 191-196ly (G5 mod FSD) from each one, with anywhere from 1-9 jumps between. I had to stop 1800ly out from EAFOTS LB due to RL, but if I hadn't had to hunt for one or two neuts I would have gotten there within a few hours, instead of more hours/days.
Hopefully, I'll there when ctd is resolved. I'm eager to see what's in the box.

The raw numbers may not work out but the beacons prove that you can move the story ahead with them. They have us the search area and they delivered content. Yay! Bugged planetary landing? Not so yay, but it's being worked on so ... Yay again!
Anyone got tips for locating a surface structure, other than randomly flying about?
I'm not a real patient type. I did about an hour last night, but my attention wanders after about 10 minutes. So far all I found was one random data point, nothing "abnormal".

Randomly flying about at about 20km altitude...
Would be awesome to have various scanners that give us different enhancements, allowing us to more easily find surface structure without simply eyeballing from 20km in some form of cruise...
Or some sort of gameplay where we send probes to scan or something...

We need something. There has to be a better way. Scouring an entire planet by eye...argh.
I think FD have a bit of a dilemma - if they give us an actual lead the horde descends on the mystery and it may get found and blown up in a few hours, and if they give us nothing then, well, nothing happens. The former probably results in huge investments of their time in creating things being burned through very quickly, while the latter leads to player frustration and boredom. I don't know how you get around this.
All I can think of is to break mysteries into many small parts, so that many people can participate (find or solve something), but nobody can crack the whole thing open by themselves. At least, not until many people have shared what they know.
I literally sat up waiting for the galnet article, went to sleep frustrated it hadn't turned up (different time zone), and then EAFOTS/gap/confluence probes had largely been found before I got out of bed
I don't think they have a dilemma in the sense you mentioned. It's been said before that we're not looking for something in a USA or POI, if anything it may be something we can't interact with at all, but would be such an eye opener.

I think a few small clues each week, and massive community goals that slow us down is the way they are moving forward now. But all it takes is one clue and one lightbulb and things blowing up will be the end result
Very true.
On the other hand, spending hours and hours flying over a dustbowl on the offchance that I will actually - by chance - stumble on whatever it is on the surface - but probably not...it just doesn't feel like a productive use of my leisure time, without a scrap of a lead to go on or narrow things down.
Anyway, the only reference points I can think of are i) since the planet is tidally locked, humans might prefer the day side and ii) perhaps they would want a line of sight to the communications beacon (or maybe heart and soul nebulas?) for commmunications purposes. Due to tidal lock the day side of course points towards the star, which is where the beacon is located.
I have no facts whatsoever to back any of this up, of course.
One other thought - the beacon messages finished with "node standby". Maybe that just means they are shutting down after finishing the transmission, but it could also mean that they can be activated somehow. Perhaps an arriving ship could trigger them to provide more information - an entire planet is a pretty big area for a rally point, unless the ships stay in orbit.
I spent some time with a probe tonight - I can't find any markings on it whatsoever. It does not point at the star, rally point, the other beacon systems or sol. I tried honking and broadcasting various keywords (exodus, rally point systems, etc) over local, tried to treat it like a terminal and send commands (now that would be cool) mode active etc etc no result.
