THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)

Worom

Just tried saying Exodus in binary and in Hex to one of the beacons, it just sat there doing its usual rotating motion, menacingly. No changes.

Can I get clarification on who is credited with this new discovery?


Front page updated with discovery and logs.

GREAT FIND!

Just 2 or 3 left to find in the Conflux and we're almost there......


ALSO - could someone in each location (Hawking's, Conflux and Rift) confirm what type of outpost is at each location, i.e. Agricultural, Science or Logistics (I believe it was) please?

Will leave this here, if anyone wants to go check it out.. go right ahead! Bare in mind.. you need 57.50+ ly jump range!

EAFOTS YO-Z D1 has an ELW... but its unreachable for me. If your going to check it out jump from EAFOTS CV-X D1-3.

I'm currently heading back to the Bubble but here's something you can do.
Find the absolute edges of either the longitude or latitude. Narrow it down to the nearest 0.5000 degrees. Whatever number is exactly in the middle of point A and point B of your longitude or latitude is roughly where your settlement is.
It's how I found the delta site

Just to be clear for loading time you mean when it says dropping from orbital cruise before the glide clicks in and you mean much more than 2 or 3 seconds longer right?

Btw your first step is easily calculated from the planet info display,,circumference = 2 x pi x radius. Your manual fly and time it method was only 3 km off the actual km/degree which is pretty amazing.

Not sure if it would pan anything out, since based on what we know this is something that has been in since gamma, pre-engineers and jumponium

This was awesome, and VERY interesting, and you are right, and I knew this :(
Been transitioning over to night shifts and my brain has been a bit scrambled [wacko]

So running with wormholes (hyperspace/witchspace) instead, i think this actually fits my theory even more. An area of space and time we are not meant to be, and it's getting noticed... The news today of a disfigured body in COL70 is interesting too, especially after learning Wreaken construction is tied to Sirius also. A secret base where these experiments continue? explains the high radiation and high security.

Don't beat yourself up, even if it's Sci-Fi, it's still highly complex stuff :D

Yes, it does, that's why i had to think about all that. Thing is though: Depending on the technology, you could be opening a wormhole with AA-Batteries. We have no idea, how the negative mass is created inside the FSD (Theoretical Physicists have no idea how to create negative mass, for that matter...my guess is, if we do, something like a real FSD isn't far away anymore). But maybe it's something like the Jumpdrive from BSG - spinning some esoteric matter around counterclockwise and voila, you've got your wormhole [noob][cool]

Yeah - the plot thickens. And maybe, we even missed some clues about the technical stuff ;)

Closest (i think) Black holes in the Rift is at V595 PERSEI inside the 'Blue Star Cluster' the woman at Delta site mentions.

It's even mentioned? :O Has anyone checked there?


@Finding the Beta Site: Congrats! This was either some very secret tech, or something completely different...but i don't think it was an UA. The Date seems significant...but somehow, i can't find, what Lore is Canon, and what not...

And if someone could type out the Logs for me to stick on the front page, that would be awesome.

The HG beta?

Me I presume, did someone beat me to it? CMDR Britain aka Bitstorm.

Check the vid for HG beta. Cabbages! therefore agricultural?


Hawkins Gap Beta Mission 1/4
Expedition Log: 30/08/3270
"Strange mission this, though the pay is good. Nobody seems to know who's footing the bill, but Sirius Corp is favourite. Whatever this trip is, it's expensive. It's also hush hush. Even the captain doesn't know what we're carrying and he's not happy about it."

Hawkins Gap Beta Mission 2/4
Expedition Log: 12/09/3270
"Big bust up today. Apparently this ship is flying without shields and without guns! We had an escort for the first few hundred light years, but then they peeled off and we're on our own out here in the void! If we do come across anything nasty we're going to have to hope we can run..."

Hawkins Gap Beta Mission 3/4
Expedition Log: 18/09/3270
"Not a happy ship. Crew is grumbling. Captain hasn't been seen for weeks. Cargo is guarded by these very unfriendly types. Don't know what they're protecting, but it's enough to get a man killed over, that's for sure."

Hawkins Gap Beta Mission 4/4
Expedition Log: 01/10/3270
"Cargo dropped. Turned about and on our way back to civilisation. What it was, nobody knows and nobody is asking. It's a bit more relaxed now, whatever that cargo was it was something important. Can't see what use it would be this far out, but maybe someone knows something we don't..."

Can anyone confirm if the old Jump Drives could be overcharged by Neutron Stars?

No they can't AFAIK, this was a late addition to ED.

Hawkin's Gap Beta Site found. :)

This is the final one for HG.

Found on planet (CMDR) Britain's Solace in the Bitstorm mountains! =p

Using the above classifications it appears to be a beta agricultural.

Well done & congrats :cool:

Sounds like a UA dropped

Why?
I was thinking more beacons......

I guess with all the others found we can expect an influx of explorers out here in Conflux!

Remember, the Gamma beacon hasn't been found yet, so if you get bored hunting for the outposts, you can always hunt for the beacon :)

Had a quick thought... bear with me

1) "Core of the problem" could mean core world(s)? (bubble or even just SOL)

2) A new planetary body suddenly appeared in the SOL system that as far as I know doesn't exist IRL

3) That new planet is called "Persephone" which has obvious and numerous tie-ins with the Rift Mystery lore etc..

4) we have the knowledge that we have missed a clue(s) somewhere along the way...

I'm thinking a thorough survey should be done on the planetary body, either to find something, or eliminate it once and for all
At least that way we will either A: find another clue or B: Be sure its irrelevant and move on...

Thoughts?

EDIT: Sorry for proposing yet ANOTHER planetary survey... I'm not going to make any friends with this idea am I? :D

Not entirely sure what to do now.

With all 4 settlements found in Hawkin's Gap is that it, or is there more to look for out here.

Thanks for the info :), added to the list.
I can do that with level 2 jumponium & I have plenty of it :), but earliest I can try is maybe tomorrow evening (GMT).

Just seen what Worom said, also this would be way beyond the jump range of a Sidewinder.

Found an Earth-like at EAFOTS ZI-3 D3-12. Nothing else special to report about this system so far though.

Well, re-reading all the Hawking's Gap logs, it seems that there are a bunch more beacons to be found probably on the other side of these Rally Points systems, away from Sol and the bubble.

The Alpha log says " we have to drop them off in very specific locations. Weird, eh?" and the Gamma log say they "started squawking some weird code before it got switched off."

Sound very similar to the early Unknown Probe and Unknown Artifact activities around the Pleiades.

The UP's were found in "Degraded Emissions" [Thread 2] USS's around Ammonia worlds, if I recall, so may be worth scouting some of those out in the region?
The UA's were in a bubble between 135 and 150 Lightyear's from Merope. Maybe worth going that far from the beacon systems and looking for them. They were found as salvage in a "strong signal source" so the Canonn info is clearly out of date on these!
