I was checking a lot of brown dwarf systems around Syreadiae last month... it was mind numbing as they all had basically the same ice world planets, it got a bit tedious, I even started concentrating on systems with 7 planets.. hoping for some type of breakthrough!.

Anyway I'm back checking systems around EAFOTS EU-R C4-1.. surprisingly there are still lots of unexplored systems.. I'm concentrating on ELW, Ammonia worlds and landable terraformable planets (o found yet).
I'm pleased to have found my second Ammonia world today as there does not seem to be many where I'm looking

Also I think I've been to long in the rift as I'm sure this finger is pointing to something!

Check out my signature for a list of some of the known ELWs that have been searched and a few that haven't yet. Jfyi, I'll be searching the ones near the h&s nebulas soon, unless you already have

Am I missing something here? I didn't think there were any neutron stars between the bubble and the 5 that are on close approach to the Heart & Soul Nebulae?

First thing I did before heading out to the Rift for the first time was check the galmap for neutron stars to speed up the trip and I couldn't find any aside from the aforementioned 5.

There are dozens of them!

Did you get a chance to see what services are available at the Asteroid base? any screenshots etc?

Yes I did, but no scrnshot, no outfitting or livery, sold exploration data, repaired and restocked ship, has a market, incl black, has a mission board, crew hire, err, i miss anything?

I am definitely using that to shave off a few hours when I go back to the Bubble. Will help with getting to Exploration Elite as well (currently 2% pioneer, and I've been scanning entire systems in the Rift for the last 6 weeks).

Cdr Macklin Fox calculated the Eafots systems closest to the R-R line. It's somewhere in the thread, but his list was:

Eafots JO-Z d13-41
Eafots OG-V b57-3
Eafots EU-Y b55-0
Eafots EU-Y b55-3
Eafots UH-C b54-2
Eafots KB-B c27-11
Eafots UH-C b54-3
Eafots TH-C b54-1
Eafots TH-C b54-2
Eafots OB-E b53-2

Took a look at EDSM all these system where mapped. 4 ship been through the area in the last 7 days.

don't get your hopes up. I was at 28% pioneer when I entered EAFOTS in Nov 16. sold 60mill of data and only up to 33% poineer.

Yeah I used it a month or 2 ago to get to the rift on my current trip, much quicker!

Btw, even with the filter, neutron's are still hard to in the gal map.

Oh yes, there are many neuts between the Bubble and H&S, almost along the R-R line. Some are buried in B class star systems, sometimes an O. Check galmap details for all the stars in a system.

That must be a bug. You normally move approx 1% pioneer per million credits of explo data.

I do sometimes wonder why there are Fed aligned pilots following this any way? What would you do with the info anyway? Hand it over to help keep it all quite and secret? Make sure the truth never gets out and that whoever did whatever remains in power and control? Surely trying to uncover something the powers covered up goes against being a good, loyal, jack booted, jar head, doing your day jobs and paying your taxes and never questioning anything? Surely it goes against ensuring your government has full access to everything you know and do for 'security'.

Just wondering.

PS this is a bit RPish so don't all throw a wobbly, Feds.

Can't say too much, you never know who's listening, but I don't agree with all of the Fed's policies

Although their are very few neutron stars between the H&S nebulas & the 4 beacons systems.

if that was the case I be elite year ago.

CMDR Poet Starwind · Mar 22, 2017

Except my pioneer progress aligns with the million 1% path.

I went to thses systems on EDSM. I'm only 200 ly from these systems. I found all these system been visited 5 or more times in the last 7 days. Looks like I'm really out of things to do out here. EAFOTS Sector is huge area. I been to every system within 200 ly Radius of the 4 rift settlements.

Is there anything else on the check list that I missed for EAFOTS?

Assimilator1 · Mar 22, 2017

IDK offhand, did you find anymore ELWs?
.
Btw folks, Im at the rift gamma site, has anyone else noticed that the screen next to the doors on 1 of the modules has writing (typed) on it? I tried to zoom in via the camera but it was blurred, IDK if it's the limit of the graphics or my fairly low resolution........

Oh & can anyone tell me which settlements have the datapoints?, can't find the info here or via Google

Cool, thanks

, do the data points show up in your navigation list?

Did not check, Alpha is the tricky one, hanging on the ledge, but both are perfectly visible so you will find them easy.

Thanks, I managed to find your signature even though its not showing on this page. I'll let you know if any of the ELWs I've found are new to your list... I'm searching well below the abandoned settlements at the moment.

Assimilator1 · Mar 22, 2017

Cool, thanks

Re sig, my last reply was from my phone, & to show the sig I have to remember to go to 'advanced mode' & select it each time, I forgot on my previous post

But it is in this post (unless you're viewing from a mobile!).

I keep reading through each of the clues and it is becoming very obvious that Drew has layered so many clues on top of each other. Eafots, "my heart and soul", get to the core of the matter is "getting to the heart and sould" of the matter, "The vain queen rides a giraffe that remembers her daughter's hero.", the heart and soul nebula are practically in the dead center of the Cassiopeia, Giraffe, Perseus, and Andromeda constellations. Either this is where we need to be or the old lady, who never crossed the Formidine rift by the way, thinks we should start.

Sorry, this isn't super useful, but The space craziness is getting to me and these clues all line up to this. Also, the heart and soul nebula are technically part of the Cassiopeia constellation. So it might be safe to consider that...

the old lady is Cassiopeia, and the thing she lost (page 150 of Reclamation) is her daughter, which I am sure we will read more about in Drew's new book.
