Many thanks CMDR o7
Too bad I couldn't see anyone in Open when I jumped in

I'm not in open at the moment. Are you on Xbox ?
Can someone currently at the settlement test something for me please. Select the UCB in your nav panel and tell me if it shows up directly overhead or not? I'm wondering if the position of the UCB over the planet might be a key to finding these things. I'm currently searching EAFOTS RA-G B11-0 3.
The only issue with that is it will give you an entire hemisphere as your search zone, as the beacons are usually many hundreds of light seconds away from the rally point.
Trying anything that might narrow down the search area....this particular planet really has no interesting features to speak of. Flat surface, lots of craters.
Awesome news. 
Congratulations Cmdrs! Great to see all your persistence finally paying off!
This particular beacon is orbiting about 19Mm above the third planet.
From the messages, it might be worth doing a bit of a comparison of hyperspace in the Rift/Conflux/Gap with hyperspace in the bubble. Differences were reported between hyperspace in the bubble and hyperspace near to the Pleiades when the hyperdictions had started.
Am I the only one who have a very bad feeling about what happened to the convoy?
Maybe whatever followed them catched them... And told of our location near the Pleiade?
Just throwing that one out.
Would be interesting to compare travel through "normal" witchspace" and the "weird" one mentioned in the texts acquired from Conflux beacons.
Travelled from EAFOTS to AICONN over the past few days, NOTHING to report on the edge of the Galaxy...

Guys, I just had a thought.
What if we are dealing with the remnants of a preparatory expedition. One that was tasked to plant the rally-point-beacons in the three places. For a Dynasty Expedition that was to come later. They went there, started doing what they were tasked to do but then something went wrong. They may have encountered the "hyperdiction" phenomenon we have just got to know too.
Which killed their hyperdrives leaving them stranded in the three places. To survive they built the bases we are finding now. Word got back to the bubble.
The big story behind it being that the powers may have known since 30 years about the hyperdictions and intentionally chose not to tell anybody. Wiping Rebecca Westons memory because of that. And silencing Salomé short time ago out of the same reasons. Food for thought.

So the only place we had a definite set of coordinates for was for the Conflux base, right? Whereas the one Rift base we found was mainly due to using the crash locations as a guide? If so, were there any other codes anywhere that might contain information on the location of other rally points that are yet to be deciphered? I ask because I've been fruitlessly meandering around EAFOTS EU-R c4-1 for quite a while now. It may just need to be brute forced, but I feel like there'd be some hint of the location somewhere....
