I had thought that as well, but what they said was it would be added some time "after" 2.2, so any time from 2.3 to the heat death of the universe.
So you want to know about the Formidine Rift? (Part 3)

If you're really going to try it that way, as someone else suggested I'd do latitude not longitude because it removes the problem of convergence as you get closer to the poles. Otherwise there will be a lot of duplicated effort with the overlaps.
On the planet you are searching, can you go from pole to pole during the day or it rotates too fast and you always end up in the dark? I chose longitude exactly because of that, so I can finish one trip in the daylight, but if the planet is too big then it does not matter probably that much.
I'm an Xbox CMDR, we don't have the ability as far as I am aware of logging into different clients. But anyway, it was fixed, and I wasn't stuck, just clipping through the floor.
I think someone said that GL-Y E2 6 completes a rotation every 1.6 days but can't check at the moment. That is going to be one of the kinks we would need to consider exactly. We want to minimize searching at night whenever possible, I think. So keeping that in mind, switching to latitude is still best? If we were searching along latitudes we would have to travel with the sun (star) behind us to minimize the glare. That will eventually takes us to nightime, wouldn't it? Along longitude the sun (star)' glare would not be a concern because it would be to our sides?

GL-Y E2 6's rotatonal period is 1 day exactly, I think.

The last suspect at HG has a rotational period of 1.6 days.

What bugs me is whether the planet actually rotates beneath you.
The so far 4 known Unregistered Comms Beacons in the Eafots region have told us what planets these bases are on, as for where on the planet it's been down to pure searching & luck.
It's highly likely their are other UCBs in this area (& probably derelict ships or crash sites, & maybe distress beacons) & the other 2 areas, but we have no co-ordinates for them, nor do we know how many. Personally I think their will be more going up (or maybe down??) in a straight line from the current know UCBs.

LolI blame the names themselves....should have been called upsydownsies and sidewaysies.
, would rep you again if I could That sand will be coming out your vents, inside & out for months

I headed back to the bubble about four days ago mate, I'm just keeping an eye on things here in the thread at the moment.
Edit: And already answered above, thanks guys.

Sounds like a good idea
, but a couple of issues, can you use the same terms in your text as your graph? I think 45S = -45, but I'm not sure ..
...on the adjacent negative longitude....
So 1 degree over? Did you see the posts by racer1 & Red Anders? On our ~7000 Kms radius planet, 1° separation will be too big a gap, especially at & adjacent to the equators.

Right ok, after you posting the link to Cmdr Zach's post i know where everyone is up to now, Thanks a lot! I didn't know that gamma settlement was found, will go check out Gamma base now as i have just found the UCB in RA-G B11-0 on my lonesome haha.
So the search for Delta it is...
Just thinking out loud here...
You guys think there's a correlation between what's going on with the ruins (4 unidentified planets in 4 separate systems) and our last big baby?
Think about it. Cannon has a massive amount of peeps exploring those systems. (near to the bubble) Us few have a whopping big planet to explore - its mind bogglingly big. -way out in the Rift.
What's the bet that by the time we find this base, cannon have found the last ruin? Timing seems suspect...
Raising eyebrow.... Something to chew on while we get beigeified.

Yes, most definitely. That was just a temp graph to show what I am trying to say. Will have to rework that.
Trying to work that out too. You must have missed my reply earlier...I will copy and paste it below, gimme a sec...(will update post)..
Here it is:
You mean like 180...180H...180G...180F...180E...180D...180C...180B...180A...179...179H...etc...?
But then how can we actually follow those lines somewhat precisely? It's going to be difficult near the poles where longitudinal lines are closest. And along the way, wouldn't we need a more precise HUD? I can definitely get a spreadsheet going later today and as soon as we work out the possible kinks.

Ok Mauxus

Btw, someone mentioned the 10 degree search squares that the cannon thread suggests (sorry can't remember who said that, & I can't find it already!), sounds good, a similar idea to Mauxus's idea.

I did check the north pole just now, and going on longitude 30, anyone willing to help or share what has been checked already PM me please
I'm in open

Looks like easy one, I cover up to two degrees both sides and north to south takes less than 1.5 hr - now we need just manpower
South is fairly dark at the moment and full of shadows, so I will stop at -60 and come back another day.

At and near the poles it won't be an issue, as the search segments will be much smaller, so a single run would cover it. Trouble is we don't know where it would need to diverge to 2, 3 etc. So as red Anders & someone else suggested (can't recall who
), we ought to search along latitudes instead.Although it will still be a insanely large area! Earth's radius is ~6300 Kms and it has just over 500 million square km area!!
Maybe we shouldn't even try to search this planet and look for other beacons instead??
What do you folk think of that?

We would probably be ok at adding 1 ship for every 10 degrees down the longitude we are exploring. Or something like that. I would be ok switching to latitude if the light from the main star can be left behind us to avoid glare. But then we would only be able to search in one direction becasue the return latitude we would face the star. Searching the longitude should leave the star to our sides (right or left). Sorry for mistakes, on phone rn.
