I've arrived in Eta Cassiopeiae. There's a station here called "Morgue's Mortuary", which goes back to the death idea for the "last word" line. There's also a medium security base on Trojan's moon. It's data points may contain clues like the one about encountering the aliens. Will case it out after I investigate the rest of the system. I don't really want to be flying around hostile space with a bounty on me.
THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)
- Thread starter Cmdr Zach
- Start date
Isn't it the one that came out at PAX?

Polaris has always been locked. It was one of the first systems I tried to visit when the game launched
Question, local news, is it local to an entire system or specific stations in a system?
From what I've seen, local is for the entire system, with only minor changes for BGS articles depending on which faction controls your current station.
No. You only got access if you took on the Agent's Quest missions. You had to go find Mic Turner's ship, the Turner's Quest at Pleione 4b. After a bit of a set too with INRA/Feds you could get the flight recorder. If you took that back to the Alliance they looked at it and found the Turner had found a Thargoid shuttle at Polaris. You could then take on the mission to go there. Of course INRA/Fed goons had a had occupied the system.
I never did these mission so this is all from wikis and work of mouth.
Of course Michael Brooks said that timeline never existed in ED but I might go have a poke around Pleione 4b anyway.
There where four 'Quest' ships produced. Turner's Quest, Argent's Quest and two others. I do wonder if these are, in the new world the Manticore class that some Fighter Pilots talk about. I would happily help the Turner's out bu flying one for Alliance interests, after my years of service. In fact, I am out near the Turner bases in the California Nebula right now, to see if they are in range of a friendly takeover of the Asteroid base out there.
Thargoid tech in that tail anybody?

I've no idea, which is why I was asking. So that would mean Formidine(Raxxla) is related to "Thargoids".
Yeah local for entire system.
Usually Fed propaganda and Imp propaganda and a bit of balance from Alliance and every now and then some local gossip.

Formadine isn't Raxxla. Also the Old lady said " and you thought the Thargoids were trouble" which suggests something other than Thargoids
Could be some how related to Thargoids but I'm thinking more if a corporate cover up that certain high powered officials had a part in and profited or gained power.
Wreaken, Sirius, Patreus are on my list

Gentleguys:
Phi number is cero, but also relates that symbol (is like a cero with a slash crossing it) to represent voids: i.e in architecture the void present in a spiral stairway is represented in plan/maps with that symbol, porosity in rocks (voids) is represented with that symbol too...

Deinonychus2012 and evaldo10, thankyou. I went to one of the systems I'm investigating thanks to todays clue and was curious if I needed to search every spaceport for interesting news. Sadly, there wasn't any in the first place I docked.
Yeah I remember, although not in as much detail.
Thanks, Bill Turner is prob a relation, it seems a few of the engineers have heritage from prior Elite games.
Something that just occurred to me is that there's a company called "Achilles" in ED. I've seen ads for them before, and another on approach to Mortuary. Looks like a robotics company. Could the Achilles in the riddle be a reference to the company?
Found a wiki article on them: http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Achilles_Corporation
Edit: So Achilles won a legal case against Trojan Developments and bought most of their technicians and engineers.

It's worth checking as you never know.
A lot of local is fdev generated but it's also player submitted. Stuff can be hidden there.
Of course in the future the WWW is Limited to Sol. Everywhere else relies on Intergalactic telegram.

Another corporate under suspision.
They have been associated with AI which is illegal.

Yes - it's been on there since the first release of ED AFAIK
His bio is quite specific about the matter. Also Bill is looking a bit undead since 2.3.
I believe him.
Liz Ryder is a bit more secretive

I'm sure the Dweller has ties with Rafe.

I saw a post a few pages ago talking about Drew saying that we better need to get a SOL Permit. For what exactly? Exploring? The only thing worth exploring there is our own moon! Alien lore has always played a big roll on our OWN moon. Maybe it's time we went go looking there for clues.
Geeze it hasn't even been 24 hours and he's jumpin up and down screaming at the screen "I can't believe they don't get it!"
Put the keyboard down, turn off the screen, look see family, house, Kent's pretty this time of year. How bout a nice walk,, down to the pub and don't turn it back of for at least three days? I know that's forever,,,,but how bout this no more hints of clues at least 'til wed. Calm the frac down or you'll have an embolism before the 29th.
13 days, how many hours, minutes and seconds?
I bet you know, so calm down, don't watch the countdown clock.
Breath in, breath out, deep breath in, let it out in a soothing sigh
(repeat as required)
Yeah that was a while back he said we needed that.
I was half expecting the asteroid Salome to appear in game
AFAIK he said this quite some time ago, definately before i started playing. So i got it just in case. It's really funny there. I visited Charon and could not fly a few Km without a new POI. So if you are looking for planet stuff, nice system. It also has a permit-locked body. Of course the one i wanted to visit to begin with...
