THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)

I'm at the outer edge of EAFOTS in the nosebleed section. Going to have to use jumponium to go any higher. So far no ELW's, no beacons, nothing.
 
I'm seeing alot of these green like octapuss like light in witchspace around the rift. not sure if it's part of normal witch space.

About the gates... maybe the settlements had temporary pressure tents over them during construction. And these gates were pressure locks for docked vessels. I always thought it's a very strange design for them, you have to wear a pressure suit for going between modules.

Are we ever out of our suits? The Remlok just seals the deal for our heads in emergency. Many pilots suffer panic attacks when not in their suits and feel totally naked without one, not to mention the heavy oppression of planetary gravity like walking molasses without feeling the micrograv currents while at the same time walking without maglok boots feels like you're about to float away with every step sends any real pilot screaming back to the sanity and safety of space.

Sure retire to lake Geneva,,, I give you 4 hours.
 
Just back from worksies.


A thought occurred to me. (Gorgeous blonde)

No, not that one.

This one.

What if all of this talk of the "Underworld" means exactly that? Witchspace in other words. What if these really hard to find mysteries reside in the Dark energy and Matter of the Galaxy? You can think of it like inverted space.
Then the Symbol on the barnies would make sense as an inverted piccy of the LMC.

Perhaps they are all around you, quietly biding their time...

Waiting... Analysing...

Ill get my hat.

Btw, IIRC, Re the Beacons CG, I believe the Fed side, was in part at least, sponsored by the Sirius Corp....

After reading about and being reminded of the Raan Corsen connection I decided to head over to Alioth to see if there were any local articles that got missed that might be of some help. I did find one that is very suspect in the Alioth Herald, from Oct 26th by a Commander Barracuda about some escape pods that were found in the rift and are being returned to the Alioth system on a ship named the "Shining Beacon". Could be just a player submitted article or maybe a planted clue since it came out just prior to the CG, and that ship name!?! Anyway, here are the screenshots.

Meh, just a regular find, but a nice little story given to it :).

A little, we were at 20.00/13.00 :p
Lol, nm.

Also EAFOTS CK-A D7, EAFOTS QM-M C7-2 and EAFOTS HB-N C7-0 all contained an ELW. And have been searched thoroughly from planet to planet! NOTHING!
Did you search them? Either way, list updated, thanks :)

Questions, are we positive that the search for the ELW should be within 200LY? Didn't that number just apply to the CG?
And I understand this ELW won't necessarily have a beacon orbiting somewhere in its system?
Nope! ;), it's just the area was defined by people probably in the know.
Hmm, not sure, but I think it's like, based on the last(?) Rift delta log, where it says 'flew' there not jump.

Apologies if this has been noticed before, but I'm at work and I've not had time to read everything.

Drew's comment about missed clues had me thinking of this galnet article - http://ed.frank-heinrich.net/index.php?title=Galnet_Archive#02_DEC_3302_.E2.80.93_Galactic_News:_Amateurs_Partially_Decrypt_Signal. It's about a signal from the same ship that broadcast the "EAFOTS" clue.

If you treat the numbers as octal and partially convert to letters (adding 64 to get the ASCII value) you get this,:

1 7 10 * 20 22 25 * 1 5 23 3 23 * 10 27 - 23 * 2 3 1 - 2 * 3 4 * 1 * 43 33 31 23 * 7 21 25 27 (Octal)
1 7 8 * 16 18 21 * 1 5 19 3 19 * 8 23 - 19 * 2 3 1 - 2 * 3 4 * 1 * 35 27 25 19 * 7 17 21 23 (Decimal)
A G H * P R U * A E S C S * H W - S * B 3 1 - 2 * C D * 1 * c [ Y S * G Q U W (ASCII)

Now, PRU AESCS HW-S B31-2 CD1 is the location of one of the Conflux settlements. I'm not sure about the 178/AGH at the start and the numbers/letters at the end. Co-ordinates, perhaps?

Could there could be more signals being broadcast in Tionisla by 'the Hamsters'? Unfortunately I'm out in the Rift (and at work right now.)

Nice work! :), err I assume you decoded it? Even though you're not the 1st, good job :cool:

I think I'm onto something with regard of the load time entering glide at the last remaining Gap base. i will be back to my rig later tonight and will post the details.
Meant to ask earlier, does this method only work with the Xbox?

I'm in system, but for now i don't see any relevant information. Will stick around for some time to see what happens.
Dump a load of exploration data to the Hamsters! :D
With ;)

wow lot of pages since yersteday...
Actually I'm looking for a sidewinder or beacon or something in the Rift (reference to the only survivor that tried to reach the ELW)
Is this still an actuality? (i see in 1st page that's a yes, but i see lot of posts talking about SOL and around so i prefer to ask)
Thanks for answers
Yea AFAIK that is the case, I will be searching ELWs for beacons & derelict ships.

Just tried talking to one of the Beacons the one for the delta site, no response back

What about saying it digitally? In other words, in numbers?

**************************************************

So no one else got ELWs to submit for being searched or have searched?

Hard to say without a video. I'd say they're not, but then again who knows.

The ones I've seen closer to the bubble are white and so far always just one. They're a bit larger than the background "stars", move in a wavelike way along with your ship, appear when you're close to dropping out of witch space and you see them only for a second or so. How do these ones behave?
 
Conflux - PRU AESCS NC-M D7-192 A 3 A - another set of geysers: 16.98° 38.92° No sign of base as of yet :)

Nice one :), would rep you if I could.

Btw folks, there definitely are emergency lights (red) on at the Delta site, there on now, my more immediate problem is I've got my SRV stuck falling off the roof of a corridor there! :(...............

I have been watching the witchspace tunnel carefully on my trip back out to the Rift from the bubble. I have noticed no significant changes in the tunnel / visual effects, with the only exception being that it appears that the 'white fluffy cotton ball' shape appears more frequently. I don't know if that is significant, or if it's just my brain playing tricks.

As much as i'd love the witchspace tunnel to change / give clues, i reluctantly believe that it is a static loading screen. I hope to be proven wrong with that, though.
 
Anyone know if I'll lose my SRV if I log out of Horizons & into plain ED? [update] No you don't, appeared in orbit with the SRV :)
Seems to be stuck fast :(

best I could with a video. can't see it well in the video.

also I got a weird droning sound coming off the planet or maybe I'm going space nuts.
