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

I'm not so sure that beta necessarily means that there is an alpha out here. It could be that beta is noting the fact that it is a test site of some sort.

Yeah I couldn't remember who had said that last night and didn't want to misquote anyone, so just commented on the chances of both found sites being beta rather than having found one beta and one alpha or gamma. Just up, still to eat properly
The un-stuck thread was like boot camp for Rifters. If you didn't have the discipline to keep searching the forums over and over, you don't have the discipline to stay on this mystery!
I'm just dumping thoughts down while they're still current and in mind.
There are a number of beacons in each of the 3 regions. Each refers to a rally point planet in the same system as the beacon.
2 of those planets (1 in FR, 1 in Conflux) have a base that's been found.
Both bases have a series of messages titled Beta Mission.
My thinking is that there is a base on each of the rally point planets, and it is very likely that each base will have its own sequence of messages. I reckon the message sequences will read Alpha, Gamma etc. We keep being told that there is a lot more to be discovered. The biggest problem is the needle in the haystack issue. A planet surface is a large area to scour. We know which haystacks to look at.
We need a magnet to help find the needles.

Exactly this.
I reposted a couple of pages back my summary of all the known (11?) beacons in the rift, Hawkins and conflux. This gives the planets to search. And when I reposted it, I got rep from Drew, and you should all know what that means......right direction.

First line of each section is system, body the beacon is orbiting, planet the rally point is on (and where to look for outposts)

Heh, so I just scrolled about 3 pages back looking for this thread without realising it's sticky now.
Great news

Hi! I want to visit every post that you guys found. But its not on the first page. Can anyone tell me the systems, planets, coords so i can go now? I only have the Eafots one. Thanks!!
I wonder if a mod would be kind enough to edit the original post with this info for us so it doesn't keep getting lost? Along with the co-ords of the 2 settlements that've been found already?
No one else find it out how we have 3 beacons in each the rift and conflux but only 2 in Hawkins? Or am I missing some thing? If I'm not the question is why only 2? Or have we just not found a 3rd? This brings up a couple of questions
1) if we just haven't found the 3rd yet we need to find it.... obvious really
2) if there is legitimately only 2 beacons on Hawkins does that mean whilst en route to place the third they were attacked and hid away on a planet along their intended route? Or maybe ran into other issues and crashed? This is also providing there should be 3 beacons
4) the beacon was damaged somehow either in transit or at it actually destination meaning it's not sending out signals for use to find or that it has crashed I tot he planet/moon of its destination(providing it was being sent to a planet/moon)
On a side note from this has any got or can make a map of where the beacons and bases are on the galaxy map then maybe we could try to find a pattern to try and triangulate where the third Hawkins beacon would be(providing there was supposed to be 3) or even just a general vicinity of where it should of mean as it would substantially narrow down the search area of where it 'should' be or should of been in the case of note number 2, and so if it isn't where it should be we maybe be able to triangulate the route it may have taken after dropping the second beacon which would also narrow the search down

Exactly this! A place where all the systems(already posted by zach), planets and coords are easily find in the first page.
There are 4 beacons in both the Rift and Hawkins and 3 beacons in the Conflux. Use this link for details: https://trello.com/b/DCTJoy8T/cor-rift-hawkin-s-and-conflux-ucbs

I said that
Just merging few facts - Comms from EAFOTS are about transporting something to another Station/Planet - and the name "beta" of EAFOTS outpost POI. If every of three outpost have "beta" in name this could mean you're right. Would be nice if someone post names of the outposts in Hawkin's and Conflux.Even if Beta means nothing - we have Eafots comms that suggest emergency outpost on another planet.
We had to find clues in this outpost. I think Comms are important [yesnod]
Or maybe its just rifter's madness
oWell. Finally arrived at the Formidine Rift Beta Mission site for myself. If you remember, a few pages back, I lamented over the fact that I was still getting used to my new HOTAS and the keybindings? And how "boost" is right next to "reverse thrust"?
Yeah.
I'm back in the bubble.
Time for custom key binds, I think.
More then that ... I've been playing on "Iron Man" settings. I'm not sure what my next step is going to be but I think it includes the untimely death of Commander Finn McMillan. It looks like the Rift has claimed another victim.
