What if the search for the sites is like a deliberate "wall" to prevent us from reaching too much progress, because the next step might not be even ready yet...? So thats why they are so bloody hard to find...
So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)
- Thread starter Legacy_LuckyLuke
- Start date
Yea could be! 
I dunno maybe Drew and Fdev aren't completely heartless, as has been suggested if we knew what they were up to we'd have a clue where the bases are. Ignoring that and going with what we have we should be looking for 12 bases assuming we're missing a beacon in the conflux so a 3x4 square of data and just looking at latitude without throwing in type agri, mining or comms or greek a b g d we got,,,
h -9 -26 xxx 51
c -7 xxx xxx xxx
r xxx -23 -34 xxx
for the latitudes of the known bases.
So as a scratch card what range of numbers would you expect under those.

Ah I was right thenHeh really?
I added another image into the spoiler in my post.
, thanks for the extra image though eagle eyes .I could barely see it until I changed my viewing angle (probably cos of my monitor I guess).
We get that the tools we have are not suited but when things to find or w/e that makes the thread move abit, it gets abit annoying when the last 2-3 pages have been about what's lacking in the game or people moaning. Yup it sucks right now but this is how missed post get missed. Having been at the Delta planet (rift) for a good 3 days now you definitely start to go abit crazy. All i see in my sleep is yellow and craters, yellow and craters

Opps, nearly overlooked thisYes, that what I was trying to do asking pilots to help : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ybon23PwwD5HWrHqDfRWPhvGUAOZkM3SN5fJ6-xIYFo/edit?usp=sharing
Nope, being on any pole you pick up any longitude you like, ideally stick to the one that is sunny at the moment
You are confusing bearing with coordinates - bearing - middle top of your HUD - 0 takes you to north pole
Re table, ah yea that's it
, I think Sterlino had made 1 too.Re bearing, ah ok, think I've got it now
, I need to go ingame & have a look......
What about racer1's point of 1° of longitude being too wider a strip for big planets?

lucky you. all I see in my sleep is endless maze of canyons in my sleep and the odd nightmare of thruster failure on this 1.34G world.
I crashed my ship yesterday on EAFOTS GL-YE2 6 due to the high gravity.... after a first shock, I felt almost relieved ; )

I started listening to reclamations while out here. Only problem is I can't see for listening and I can't listen for seeing, I'll completely miss a chapter for staring at the screen hoping something will appear. Or miss a 200km wide crater BC I'm too focused on a juicy bit in reclamations
Heh really?
I added another image into the spoiler in my post.
How about now - one would think it will be visible from 2.5 km
That why I said searching on dark side is pretty much pointless....

reason I move location with the day side. it would be nice if the settlement had some sign of lighting.

OK, I reedited my OP as it was actually bit confusing at places - sorry about that
Cool well I'm at GL-Y E2 6 and taking -44 longitude. 3km height, max speed 308m/s and 419m/s boost.
Agreed, the fear of looking away for 5 seconds or it being out off the edge of the screen is a tad disheartening. #understatement

If you're flying a line of longitude, how far can you be see either side of it?
Actually I'm going to take a different long, as that leads me into the dark side of the planet.

Taking longitude 135

I'm just trying to find the settlement on LZ-H, & even though we have the co-ords, I just can't use them to find it.
I need (approx.) -23 & -175, I'm at -28 & -159 (which I got their by trial & error), I just don't know which way I need to point!
I think I get the bearing display now, but it doesn't help to get me there!

There has been a fair amount of discussion over the last two days on the Canonn ninth threadnaught ("Alien archeology and other mysteries") about this current lack of planetary surface search capability, so I've taken the liberty of posting a set of suggestions/requirements from that thread on the suggestions forum.

Plug in your numbers and get your bearing to follow to get you there. Great tool.
