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

I've been searching EAFOTS GL-Y E2 6 for the past 10 days, 2-3 hours a day, checking out random places (mostly, distinguishing features). But don't let that discourage you. You only have to be right once.
I switched to a systematic search the last two days or so because I got to a point where doing it randomly I could not keep a record that made sense anymore.

Oof! Long time. I'm on my second day at the moment. Fingers crossed these Co-Ords we have just received from CMDR Avvie has the base close by.
 
My god, it's full of stars...

I'm at the cords. http://i.imgur.com/cKm3x5e.png

Good job. Getting this published should have one important implication - whoever has been trying to cover this up, if they are still around, is now going to be very, very unhappy. Maybe it will provoke a reaction of some kind.

PS: "Hawking's" :D

It's Patreus and them lot along with their spy's. They know all to well what's going on.
 
I might switch to open.... might :D just about got enough shields to fly, let alone land lol



If you see a white AspX with 2 lightweight multi's don't worry, no idea why i brought them. I suppose it's because i have never flown without weapons before in the 600+ hours playing the game :p

The time I got ganked, speed played no part. They had a corvette and an FDL. Mass locked me, and fired more missiles than my MDS could possibly take out and the FDL cut me to pieces. That was in an armed and armored Anaconda, I can't imagine you last long enough to run in an unshielded exploration ship.
 
I'm taking care of the survey of the rift zone for the canonn trello. Cmdr Hamalot was doing the hawkins gap, but I think he was distracted with real life stuff. if anyone has video recording of the sites and data log of the of the hawkins and Conflux. I be glad to add them in. also the Canonn Survey Team open up their own discord for survey op yesterday. CST Discord: https://discord.gg/yCMJdxA

Link to the rift thread dynasty summary in my signature. From there links to each discovery, some are followed by video.evidence.
 
Just as a sidenote: what would be the best ganking technique?

Don't search for explorers, let them come and search for you - stop your ship at certain coordinates, then write here "I found it, coordinates 50.0 -14.1, unfortunately I do not know how to post screenshots - come, it is AWESOME!" :)
 
Couldn't it just be....server lag?

We're on Xbox if that makes any difference, although I play on PC and usually get a slight delay dropping to glide near settlements, bases etc. Avvie has been dropping in and out of sc atleast since I was winged up with him yesterday, that's why I've jumped on it. I tested glide and force dropping at the known bases and I get the delay, anywhere else it's instant
 
I have only ever got drop in lag when there has been other pilots after i drop in... would a settlement etc cause a lag like that?

I'm on PC and just did a force drop at about 23 12 and encountered a significant delay. Can't see a thing here in the dark.

If it helps I force dropped at about 35km altitude.
