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

[CMDR Poet Starwind]

Interesting....that planet is the location of the beacon, but not the rally point.

True, but interesting nonetheless. Hopefully Gypsy will bring light on the light.

Errrrmmmm..........


Guys...

You have noticed that there is a city/ bright light on the surface of GL-Y E2 1?

Right?

I hereby name thee "Gypsy's Point"

Time to make my 5th pilgrimage to the rift?

 

[Gypsy12]

Hit the BEZ now, by still trying to get directly over it.

 

[Matzov]

From the pictures so far, it looks like an ice shelf/cap.

 

[Gypsy12]

Well,

This is as close as I can get to "Gypsy's Point" Directly overhead.

We will see what happens when night comes along.

You seem to be the proud discoverer of an iceberg... Or a mountain... Does not look like an artificial light source to me.

Still Gypsie's Point is a great name

Like I said, tis probably nothing, but we shall see come darkness.

It makes it awkward as I found my asp cannot maintain altitude when inverted for a better view at the g level. I have 4D thrusters with g3 dirty drives, anyone know if stronger thrusters would prevent this?

I have 5A and if I fly with more than 30 degrees bank, the ship starts sinking so I have to compensate by raising the nose and flying in that attitude causes the ship to overheat for some reason. When I fly upside down the effects are even worse. Can't fly inverted for more than a few seconds while maintaining altitude before heat jumps to 80-90 degrees real quick.

I wonder if Drew would be up for giving us a little help with these especially big planets?

C'mon we haven't really tried hard enough yet, lets wait a week before we start begging

 

[Gypsy12]

Ok... Now I can see surface detail... And... This is no mountain.

Observe the two volcanoes...

Probably nothing ... but I've got my fingers crossed that I'm totally wrong.

You're right, I think I'm starting to go crazy staring at this unending horizon, and sea of beige.

HOW TO FIND IT:


TRAVEL TO BEACON.

LINE UP WITH CENTRE OF PLANET AS BEST AS YOU CAN. HIT SC.

LIGHT WILL BECOME VISIBLE AT 10.5k

Try taking a super-hires screenshot with ALT-F10 in Solo and see if you can crop that area and magnify it.

Yes I know I just killed my ship and went to bubble to get faster thrusters and got back to Hawking's Gap this morning. I do not want any hints now, I want to put some effort into finding another one and feel that I achieved something.

I think I've seen people in the forums point out this type of light spot before. May be worth a search around:

etc.. I think it's graphical glitches.

Will do. I deleted that post because it didn't work the second time. I left just after transmission time

I'm about an hour away

So has anyone else noticed a Blue cobra. I've been to the Beta and Alpha site in the Rift and each time I've taken off I've seen a ship off radar. I go towards the ship and find it's a blue cobra landed not far from the site. I feel like I'm being followed... being watched...
