It might not be impossible, though, if the sidewinder was brought to that system by a military-grade Anaconda that could reach it.

I think I know what you mean, but I see them everywhere -not just at the regions in question.
Perhaps the mass 'exodus' was a political thing.
The Empire was formed by splitting off from the Federation, and creating a sphere of influence outside of Federal space. Maybe this was intended to be the start of a new government or 'bubble', and it never came to fruition because of void-madness.

Sorry, i'm not quite up to date with the Conflux and Hawkin's gap sites/logs... i don't really want to spoil myself by taking a look at the logs from both areas, i want to go there myself when we know for DAMN sure that the Rift side of the story has come to a close. Just a question though... was there any survivors from them two areas? anything 'noteworthy' that might help us track this woman down? If there were any survivors would they have gone to the same place this woman has gone?
I mean Drew said that we should look at what we have, and we have missed some things... for the Rifters we are only looking at our side of the story... not the whole story. Well from my point of view that is, i don't know what the other logs say.
Probably a silly thing to think of i know, but until someone tell's me that there is no way these people could of met up... i can put that idea to bed.
Don't worry too much about little spoiler's for me, i will be going there anyway after the Rift. PM them to me if there are any 'specific details' to consider, that saves spoiling other people.

In-lore, most of our comms shouldn't exist. There's no faster-than-light communications in the Elite lore, so comms should technically be limited to radio range. Never having used a 2b drive, I cannot tell you how far a Sidewinder equipped with one would get, but I can make a guess that it'd be about that same as one can go now, just with less cargo space because the drive is bigger.

That's new to me. Where are you?
edit: Might be just an artifact of your specific graphics setup though. Hopefully someone can test this. The thing is that when you start to pay attention to the details of the witchspace, you can't really be sure if things you see were always there or not. Rifter's madness.

I can honestly say I've never seen white clouds like that in witch-space before... Intriguing, what locations were you jumping from/to? What have you got in your cargo hold if anything? What ship? Details man, details!
Ran into a couple of anomalies of worlds displayed in EDD and EDDN and probably EDSM too as atmosphereless Ammonia or Earth like now have atmospheres. I'm guessing it's something that got fixed in some recent update. However they'll never get fixed in EDD and EDDN automatically AFIK one has to go and manually correct them through ROSS. Just worth knowing ALW's and ELW's listed without atmosphere are most likely false.
Why i'm following up to you is, I think we're finally here,,,
Instinct tells me there's enough for the murder board which they don't call it anymore having a -+bad word in it so the preference is crazy wall or board or professionally link analysis software but that leads directly to big data security contractors and sites that battled with my browser and security settings. So its either MI5/NSA level stuff or crappy Visio, Trello, and Onenote which don't seem good enough. What's a band of junior Ms Marples to do?
No cargo, 47ly AspEx, location whereabouts is at the end of the video but about y>900 in EAFOTS on the Myoidee border. Theres something else interesting here, a bunch of DC (white dwarf) systems in an open cluster up here.
Been seeing these witchclouds on every jump since y>400 this region.

I just did a bit of poking about.
The formidine rift beta, gamma and delta settlements; the last transmission of these, are all on the same day: 29/11/3270. I think this is important somewhere and somehow.
Also, I had a look at Randomius Factoria. Apparently a apocryphal deity admired by most starfarers. Also means Lady of Fate. I tried to wiki it but the only thing that came close enough was a white Wolf wikia page. Makes mentions to Charon being chosen as the lady of fate to ferry souls to the underworld or something.
Point is, I think Charon is significant. Someone should go check it out for anything

Thanks for all these Bitstorm. All embedded into the Dynasty Expedition front page section

Try searching this thread (or the last one). pretty sure someone said what it meant, with confirmation from Drew.
18 days is about 2.6 max jumps with a 2b drive.
Even with the class 2 drive, it's less than 100ly.
With the calss 1, it's less than 25ly.
Max jump = 7 days.
Has anyone found any value in gaining system permits (Achenar, Sol, Face e, etc). It would make sense to get access to better/cheaper modules or ships, or training, but I can see no value whatsoever.
I'm heading back to the bubble now, want to get my ship sorted and hand in all this exploration data (probably in the Ten's of millions). Will have a little look around there. Still about 5000ly away though. will be heading back the Rift asap
Also want to have a little look around Persephone.

There is FTL communication in the lore. The Sub-space network, used for news disribution has always been FTL.
Same as Galnet is now.
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?
Persephone is an asteroid IRL

Good thought. EDDB has for Reorte: economy Extraction (Colony, Agriculture, Military), but the military faction seems to be Allaince Rapid-reaction Corps, which might be the ARC that we see on the bases?
I have also noticed an increase in the 'white fluffy cloud' structure in the witchspace tunnel. It's the only difference i've really noticed from hyperspace in the bubble and out here. It doesn't so far seem to be limited to a single system at all, and i couldn't really tell you where i noticed the increase. However, i _do_ know what you're talking about and made a note of it somewhere earlier in the previous thread i think. It might not be anything spectacular. *shrug* just saying, if it's space madness, we both have it.
anaconda, 48ly range, nothing in the cargo.
Also, just in the area of dissecting the witchspace tunnel, i've noticed the following features
yellow/orange bubblish texture
green bubblish texture
white clouds with black structure inside them that look like sticks (or vaguely like a woman or lizard)
red bubblish texture
clusters of 'stars' (the thumbnail for your video has them in the upper right)
also the way that the background stars appear to move in the tunnel give the impression of twisting left, right, almost a 'veering' sense.
If this is an area that we want to look into i can give a better description when i have the chance to play a bit and watch.
Always keep at least two backups of your bindings file!
I speak from experience.
An off-topic question- is there a way to quickly, whilst in-game, change the HUD colour? I've been jumping around a few systems and one of them has an orange coloured surface that the compass and height/G bar just blends into & becomes almost invisible. Don't particulalry want to reboot & change the HUD colour completely......
