Looks to my software developer's eye that you've found an edge case in the algorithm which calculates off-surface gravity from the surface value.
What does the system map give the gravity as?

EDIT: seems the threshold varies. 22 000 m over the large crater. 5000 m over the average. No threshold over flatland.
Could be some gravity tide effect thing. If so, congrats FD. Very realistic model.
One crashed 'I don't know what' with Fed worth intel, 2 SRVs and a couple of skimmers. All crashed. Usual parked System Defence Cobra. Nothing interesting here.

Now I'm even crankier than before
I'm on 672 & still waiting for my soup mug to arrive
Great, I see that it happened.
Yeah, I noticed I didn't get another once I reached 600 (like I had at other increments). When it didn't, I kind of expected it would change again at 650 (seeing as that's where the mouse-over text changes again), but at 668 now and still waiting.

Attempt to retrace the Formidine Rift Beta/Gamma Expeditions. Day 1.
.
Reviewing the logs of these expeditions and the distance to the Heart and Soul Nebulae from the Abandoned Settlements, I estimate that they were travelling about 800 LY every 13 days. Whilst using stripped-down, exploration-fitted Anacondas, they were nevertheless carrying Sidewinders and, on the outward leg, were full of cargo. My Python's jump range is 33LY, so I hope that this will be enough to follow in their footsteps.
.
Step 1.
Step 2.
Next comes the harder task of finding a route to a possible location of the expeditions' 5th log message, where I hope to find some sign of the Beta expedition, and I plan to spend a little more time near to there looking for Earth-like Worlds, assuming that I can find a way across. I think that this is the 'crossing the Rift' part and that I am still on the near side of it. I have plenty of J1 boosts, if needed, and 2 SRVs to get more materials but I would prefer to save my resources until I need them.

Fly safe!

Step 1.
My estimate of their approximate position by the time of their 3rd log message (dated 18th Sept) was MYOIDEE ZS-X C28-1. This system stood out as being somewhat detached from the adjacent systems and my plot to it arced around the edge of this gap very noticeably. It is 29.93 LY from the nearest system. To my disappointment, the system contained only the star, nothing more (quite common for a G type star in a mass code C system). The systems are almost all tagged up to here and although I encountered no Earth-like or Ammonia Worlds, there are expected numbers of other life-bearing worlds and the region is slightly rich in terraformables, if anything. I encountered one signal source in MYOIDEE sector but it appeared during my FSD countdown phase so I could not stop and investigate.
My estimate of the expeditions' location by the time of their 4th log message (dated 1st October) was MYOIDEAU VI-K D8-3. This system has multiple stars and small planets and a pristine metallic asteroid belt cluster around the primary star. I scanned and dropped into a belt cluster but encountered nothing unusual. This was only the second belt cluster I visited today, the other being in MYOIDEE sector, but I suspect I am not close to 'it' yet, even if the 'it' is denoted by heat signatures within a certain region of space, which is a possibility I am investigating during this expedition.

Galactic News: Message Received from Col 70 Sector
08 APR 3303
A weak signal from the Col 70 Sector has been detected by listening posts in both Federal and Imperial space.
The message is incomplete, but it appears to pertain to some kind of rally point. Meanwhile, Federal and Imperial intelligence services have confirmed that thousands of covert and coded messages have recently been transmitted in the vicinity of the Col 70 Sector.
"Something is going out on out there," said an unidentified member of the Imperial intelligence community. "We think it could be...her."
A bounty has been issued for Commanders Salomé, Tsu Annabelle Singh and Raan Corsen, but with all three fugitives still at large, the Empire has increased the bounties to five million for Salomé and two million apiece for Singh and Corsen. An Imperial spokesperson reiterated that pilots should not attempt to communicate with these individuals, and should shoot on sight.
Imperial intelligence services have also placed a bounty on one Commander Yuri Nakamura, referred to as 'Conformist Oboe XX' in an intelligence briefing given to the media. A two-million-credit bounty has been placed on Commander Nakamura.

<looks at distance to Col 70 from OOB AIRG, quielty says "frak it">
Why do they always start dropping the interesting stuff when I'm 8kly away? Now I have to sell at Mic, instead of Caelottixa, again....
Might be worth being on the edge of Col 70 at the end of this month...
I've spent the last week grinding Federation rank trying to get into a FAS. Now I find out that I should have been grinding Forum rank instead. Even the non-game part of this game is a grind

At least the bounties have been raised to a more respectable level.
Don't look at me like that! I'm not outfitting this Kill Warrant Scanner to chase Salome ... I was going to do some local bounty hunting in my home system. Honest.
My home town has a gravitational anomaly, if I drive from one side to the other I weigh 1.5g more.
Fancy hooking up on the 29th

I went out that way so I could turn back in behind the rift. I went right out to the outer edge.
I tried going back to Eafots from the other side but you can't get over the rift.
So I went the other way back, I'm still believing that somewhere in the middle of the rift is something. I think it's at the end of a lot of jumping and involves twisting and turning high and low and there is only one route to get there at 27 ly.
You can obviously do it at a higher jump range but at a higher jump range you have more variables.
When I'm in the rift I stick to 25-29 ly jumps

Just say amusing stuff then you can get forum rank lol.
BTW did you submit that article ??
I've messaged Drew about something will see how he responds and then I'll post what I was going to post but I dot want to ruin things.
Submitted, yes. It doesn't look like it will be published though.
Yeah would prob be done by now
What sort of codeword is "Conformist Oboe XX"?? Every spy thriller I've ever seen or read has codewords more readable than this. It doesn't exactly trip lightly off the tongue. So I guess it may be a clue, but I have currently no ideas on it.

While I'm not sure about the meaning of Conformist Oboe XX there is a Reddit post by a CMDR Yuri Nakamura here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteOne/comments/53l5dc/a_holofaq_for_cmdr_nicholai_nakamura/
The Reddit post seems to indicate that Yuri is dead and takes the form of a Holofac recording for Yuri's brother, Nicholai. What is interesting to me is that the post was made on the Elite: Dangerous XBox subreddit. I've seen posts where Drew has teased that there will be something on the 29th for XBox players to interact with. Maybe that something is Yuri?
On the subject of Premonition and the CG on the 29th here is my opinion or musings
I think Drews book will start after the events of reclemation and will involve a dream or something similar regarding her future.
The middle of the book will include what she has been up to including all the events we know about and lots we don't ( politics, relationships, inner turmoil etc ).
There will be a large psychologicall tug of war throughout.
This will then culminate in the outcome of the 29th where Drew will have cleverly written different starts and ends depending on the outcome.
As far as the rift mystery is concerned there will be added clues and Salome will reveal things prior to the outcome of her Premonition ( that will be decided on the 29th )
This will still leave the rift mystery open but may or may not leave Salomes Influence on this open ( depending on the in game events )
Drew will however have a side character that will continue with the mystery in either event of the outcome.
Either way whatever happens on the 29th the rift will still be there to be solved and while we will get extra clues the 29th will be about Salomes story and not the rift. "

Just saw this post from a few minutes ago:
I wonder if "Conformist Oboe XX" could be an XBox gamer tag?

I suspect it is an xbox commander, when i read it i thought Conformist Oboe sounds like a default gamer tag when you first start an account on Xbox haha. Conformist Oboe XX is too long for a gamer tag though, and other variations i have tried produce nothing. Their are people with the gamertags Yuki, Nakamura and a Yuki Nakamura on Xbox so not sure which (if any) is the correct one.
