THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)

That rotter Trump just cut a few of NASAs missions - a lander for Europa, an asteroid redirect and predictably some climate change missions - including cutting one that has a paid-for climate satellite that was launched in 2015 which is already in service.

The last one is practically vandalism.

They're Vandals, just noticed that?
We'll know its getting real when Trump declares war on The Four Seasons.

Was there any concerted barnacle hunt in the Heart? I'm thinking events in the Pleaides connection galnet, less nebulous and nebula are a great place to hide things.

Anyone else think Hawkings and Conflux are red herrings added in to conflate and obfuscate with the Guardians exodus?

Begs the question: WHY would FDev put a fictional moon there at all in the FIRST place unless it was relevant? (of ALL the systems) I can't see them placing it there for kicks with no purpose.

The issue there is that Persephone is big. It's a lot of surface area to cover, so an exhaustive search would take a large team or collaborative effort like the search for the abandoned settlements.

EDIT:
Persephone is just shy of 10 earth masses and over 14,000km Radius. That is comparable to EAFOTS GL-Y E2 6, which gave us a really massive headache search-wise.

I think we need to find definite proof that there is supposed to be something noteworthy for the Rift mystery on the planet before we even attempt to brute force such a behemoth.

However, if 'Persephone' is relevant, why would FDev feel the need to add a new body with that name to Sol, when there is already a Persephone system in the game?
Why not just use that system, or add a moon to it if they really need a landable body?

On the subject of needing a Sol Permit it may be likely that the Giraffe clue was linked.

The only way you can visualise that text is from Sol or Earth. By looking at the clue from Earth it simply points to the Heart and Soul nebula.

I say simply but there could be something we missed. I tried reversing the clue back from Heart and Soul to Sol but it's not so simple.

Cmndr Macklin Fox produced a 3d map for this, I occasionally muse over it.

I think a few of us believed Sag A was significant as it was missing but that was a wild goose chase.

All the clues seem to be pointers which is why I have searched certain areas.

The R-R line then to Heart and Soul and into Eafots then following a vague line that matches the Giraffe clue through Eafots into Myoidee. Eventually from there I've not been able to plot across as you hit the Rift and it's just empty space even with jumponium and 45 ly jump.

Obviously it's likely I havn't tried all options up and down but I've covered a lot.

The most interesting part of that area is before you hit the rift. Lots of interesting planets.

It could be likely I've flown right by what we are looking for lol

I suspect you mean Cass A, since Sag A definitely wasn't missing when I visited it.

I believe the Vain Queen clue should be read in the context of the Conflux, rather than the Rift - since the other Cobra clues point to the Rift and Hawkin's.
Do you have a link to @Macklin Fox's map?

Yes Cass A sorry.

This is a link to the search thread and I'm sure the map link is on there.

I'm just on my mobile at the moment but if you can't find it I'll bring it up when I get back home.

Would someone be able to include screenshots from SOL with all of these constellations in the shot? That would be a handy addition to the information on this forum.

I looked up some astronomy photos of these constellatuons once, heat and soul sit more or less in the middle of them.

@Drew Wagar

Do you ever come to these forums, of course knowing everything, and find yourself face palming, wanting to pull your hair out, or shouting at the screen? :p

Talking of Drew, just incase you missed it, here's a PM he sent me on the 2/3/17 just after he last posted here.

They are there. More clues will arrive in due course too.

Cheers,

Drew.

Hi Drew
Sorry to trouble ya, I don't know if you saw my little question today in the rift thread, not asking anything major ;), I just wondered if you could tell us if the clues we'd missed in the game for the bases are still there?

We're attempting to find the clues to pick up the trail, & maybe take us further on rather than brute force searching, but some people are wondering if the missing clues are gone (e.g. galnet posts) or were never put in afterall due to us finding the bases.....

Cheers
Mark

Well those clues that we missed surely have to be within the bubble! My guess is in regions of Reorte & Riedquat (where they started), Sirius (who were probably the instigators) & possibly along the expedition's route out to the FRift/Conflux/Gap. From the beacon logs didn't the whole fleet go to a staging area before splitting into three flotillas? Where would that likely be?

the other possibility is to search the whole of the galnet posts!

So don't the smaller ones give any boost? I have tried twice to do a boosted jump. First time I got the fsd supecharged message, so I went into the galmap & pondered my route but when I came out of galmap the boost seemed to have disappeared- is there a time period for this to work?
The second time I went into a smaller cone & didn't get any fsd supercharge message.

How does this mechanism work exactly??
