So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)
- Thread starter Legacy_LuckyLuke
- Start date
Maybe there are distress beacons out here. Out there? Somewhere.
REMINDER:
Cmdr Zach's summary of the Dynasty Expedition Beacons can be read here:

Anaconda's that have been stripped down and prepped for long range travel move a lot faster than T9s loaded down with cargo. But yeah, I know. Not all the puzzle pieces seem to fit just right.

Probably a coincidence of no real significance. The six messages from the Formidine Rift Beta and Gamma sites all have the same time stamps.

Just in time to find the ship and EVA into it with space legs. *speculation*
Can we all agree instead of using the Phrase 'Space Legs', we use 'Elite Feet' instead?

Sorry. Until you pose that question on an Elite livestream "space legs" it is

Are you talking about 'Elite Feet' ?
What bugs me is that we haven't encountered any of the strange things mentioned in the logs in any of the 3 areas. I'm not aware of any hyperdictions, distress beacons, strange signals or heat sources in the Rift, Gap or Conflux. Where did all these things go?

In that case, it will be my mission to get that question asked on the next one!
That and finding out if Sandro was responsible for a Han Solo Dance off and where we'll have that kind of thing in 'Elite Feet'!
Seems like you left out the Hawkins Gap Gamma base out of that timeline
lol. I only heard her voice. Didn't see her face
That's why it stinks so strongly of INRA. That would imply joint involvement of both the Federation and the Empire.
I asked Drew about the audiobook voice actors. He told me that the budget only allowed 1 voice actor (a guy) voice every character in the story. He was a talented guy of many voices, but there was no way to completely hide his gender when voicing Kahina and Octavia. The result was I kept picturing them in drag. It's too bad they couldn't hire 2 actors. Hopefully next time.
another thought to the message from alpha base -
"Stars thin out, you can see the whole galaxy just hanging there. ... The darkness grows. The galaxy is faint and dim behind us. I'm told this place has been nicknamed the Formidine Rift."
i was just in the formidine rift area - roughly the heisenberg bridge area - i did not see the galaxy to be so far away. I think this area is to close. you have to go much further.
but than you come to the outer arm. and the stars do not thin out than.
i flew almost to the outer egde of the outer arm - roughly the direction of heisenberg bridge- and there, when the stars thin out, i would say you get the impression to see the whole galaxy.
So maybe they were flying beyond the outer arm, but than the formidine rift would be beyond the outer arm? or they were flying more in direction of the outer arm vacuus ?

Octavia sounds like a khajiit from skyrim

FYI:
This suggestion got Drew Rep - so no following the pretty lights you guys!
So that also ties in with this:
Hawkins Gap Alpha Mission 4/4
Expedition Log: 13/10/3270
"Still, it could be worse! I could have pulled the Formidine Rift gig. Rumour is they're having to double up on ships for that one as the crews are going void-mad and ejecting themselves into space becuase they've seen ghosts. Word is there's something out there."
Then there's this:
Hawkin's Gap Gamma Mission 4/4
Expedition Log: 01/10/3270
"I'm logging this, but I shouldn't be. Bunch of guys were talking about the beacons yesterday and then there was a mysterious accident in the airlock - they're all dead! Feeling aboard is mutinous. Just want to get back home. I ain't doing no top secret missions again, that's for sure."
Taken in isolation, the implication is that they were killed because they were discussing the beacons. However, it could be a continuation of the the 'suicide by ejection' theme.

I keep thinking of Edwin Odesseiron from Baldur's Gate 2...

I've been through the Conflux a few times but only once since 2.2 dropped. I don't remember anything about the hyperspace environment that stood out as odd but this would be a great way to let players know that they passing through a region that might be hosting a presence and to be on their guard. I'm thinking about a mini-tour after 2.3 to see if this is being done and, if so, to locate regions of potential activity. Depending on events (irl as well as in game), I might be a bit busy with other things, though.

Good spot! Worth checking out (sry, I'm in M67 for the next few days so I'm not able to look for it myself). What about the sites in Hawking's Gap?

Interesting. In each case, since they are in the Southern Hemisphere. Are they facing Earth, or are they facing in the same general direction? A lot of factors are possible.
