THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)

I think the gates are just that.

If you build an outpost down on a barren planet, and everyone had access to a fleet or SRV's, they would be driving between all the buildings, potentially running over equipment.

The gate give an exit and entry point, keeping the disruption from SRV's in the compound limited without building walls around it. It's also a place to put a name board - did someone say they read Delta S-2 on a gate somewhere?

Delta S-2 yeah. I believe it was AvvieXB1 our delta site finder.
 
There's supposedly something in the Prism Herald about Salome finding Dynasty and knowing of a connection between the Rift, Conflux, the Gap and the hypderdictions (no surprise on that one). I'm about 10 minutes away and will report back with screenshots.

Edit:Okay, I forgot the station are 280Kls, it'll be a little more than 10 minutes

Sorry, nothing new. I apparently just got trolled by someone who hasn't read any of the Galnet articles or any of this thread. Nothing new that I see.
 
So I'm at the rift delta site, and all this talk about gates being something more than meets the eye, I took a closer look with SRV/Debug Camera. Somthing I found interesting written underneath the "Delta S-02":

Capy. 3229088999
DEST. ARC-18788
RE-BLD. 49-001

Wonder if the "Dest." part could mean "Destination: ARC-18788"
Could point to the gates as in fact being portals, or "Arc's" as it were?

Just a thought :D

Nice.
Capy is usually an abbreviation for 'capacity'.

The question is, are these numbers different on the other NotGates?

So I wanted/want to think they are portals too but is that actually possible? they are clearly human built. Does any lore allow for that? It just seems wierd to me that there would be that capability and no one would know anything about it (or even the science it employs).

Yeah i figured that... was more interested in the destination part... gonna fly to alpha site to check the gate there... maybe the arc# is important somehow? references another system with a base?

Is that possible? I too feel like portal is what immediately makes sense but it doesnt settle well with me. It seems way to advance to be kept so secret. Do we know of any in-game science that allows for something like a portal? in such a small frame?
 
Here's some tinfoil. I made this picture a few months ago when Evaldo first got me hooked on this part the Lore. He asked to match the EDSM stars with "real" stars in the Tinosla clues. There are five stars in Cassiopeia, who is the "vain queen". The old star catalogues use Greek letters to identify them, just like the bases. The five escort ships are parts of a queen's vestments.

Diadem - Crown
Velum - veil
Monile - necklace
Vestimenta - Clothing
Cypripedium - Lady Slipper (flower name)

We know the EAFOTS sector is around the Cassiopeia constellation when viewed from Earth.

I'm trying to not get over-excited by 'destination' until I know it's different at other sites.
If it IS different, then I'll be all over it ;)
 
Gamma Site ------ Caine Massey written on the crates here... "Caine-Massey is implicitly a mining company. Their advertisements are occasionally visible on the sides of a station's airlock (on the exterior) or in hangars. Even though their slogan is "The local mining company," their advertisements are visible in any station." << taken from the wiki.

Going to keep having a look around Gamma... Will try to upload screenshots, this site doesn't like me doing that though apparently.

Also has Delta S-2 (triangle) above the gate with:

CAPY: 3229088999
DEST: ARC-48788
RE-BLD. 49-001

Does this hint at an "Epsilon" base?

so they are different???

Gamma: ARC-48788
Delta: ARC-18788

I just checked the Alpha gate and it's identical to the Delta gate
or did you mean ARC-18788 for gamma also?
 
Just ran into Worom at alpha site, and it's confirmed... this theory is a bust. It seams all the gates have the same markings.

EDIT: while we were there we had a good chat about the delta logs, and the ship that suddenly shut down. reminds me of honking the UP's with the discovery scanner, and how it seemed to emit an EMP and temporarily shut-down/disable your ship. Wonder if these beacons contain experimental doo-dads based of recovered alien technology? and that's why the experiments are been done so far out and so secretively?
