THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)

I'd be curious about what was in-game at launch too. Was it a wrecked Anaconda in a beacon / signal source then? Also, no audio as well?

Also, what was it about the EAFOTS clue then? Would there have been anything there that would lead pilots on to the actual search sector? Or was this part of the misdirection you mentioned on your site? ("Beacons, bases, puzzles, obfuscation and misdirection… 3 years have passed. ")

Thirdly, I hope we'd get some CGs to bring the ship back into operation, or use it to set up a dockable base somewhere nearby. A place to operate from near the galactic edge would be quite neat.

Finally, that's one Dynasty Expedition ship, but others have been referenced both in the logs and in the CG. Are the others in-game already?

*** A CALL TO ALL RIFTERS: ***

If anyone is going to head out to the Rift to take a look at the new discovery, I ask that you grab as many Meta-Alloys as you can and drop them off at the two asteroid bases in the Heart & Soul Nebula's.

Can you confirm that the bases have black markets?

Congratulations to everyone involved in the find! I've been following this mystery on and off but with real life constraints, not participated in anything more than cursory flying blindly around. As someone earlier said, great job, there was some serious Nerding here!

in either case, someone needs to plot the spots on the galnet to get an idea, of the image that the clue makes if you do
the connect the dots. perhaps it could be that the riddle points to a series of points that suggest that F(0) is in a certain spot or
what not

I've bookmarked all the answers that are celestial bodies. Most are in Sol or Prism galaxies and and they do seem to form a sort of spiral. A 2D screenshot would do no justice as you have to rotate around the pints to notice the spiral. I suggest the more people that plot the points to try to analyze a pattern, the better.

Congratulations - that is quite an achievement in itself!

Thanks, but I personally see it as a rather lucky/unlucky near miss. Dommorraa and the others involved in collating the information on the old rift spreadsheet deserve a lot of credit for said near miss as me... I just benefited from it with a first discovery tag on the primary star in the nearby system.

OK, so regarding the Clue 29 mystery, I took rather simplistic approach.
Here’s my train of thought.
T-1319 gives us 1984.
S is 19th letter in alphabet,
H is 8th letter
D is 4th. Then
If we take sum of numbers in bracket (10, 7, 5, 3), which equals 25, and add that to 1984 we get 2009.

So we get SHD2009 system, right on the edge of galaxy.

My thanks to everyone who has taken part in the deciphering and searching here and elsewhere, and kudos to everyone involved in creating (and updating!) the derelict.

And special thanks to the people who've already uploaded videos and reports much better than I ever could - Sajime, Shabooka, EfilOne and more. :)

Last night was amazing.

I don't think I can quote here what I was saying when I jumped in to the system and saw there really was a signal there... :D

Pretty sure this will have been noted. But I thought id bring in back in. Maybe can be used as a cipher key in conjunction with SUM (10,7,5,3) and the fibonacci sequence
Using sum (10,7,5,3)
From the 1984game manual.
Plot in page 29 paragraph c and we get.........
Additionally , most Thargoid battle ships carry several small , remote - controlled ' thargons " , killer - craft each equipped with a single , but highly advanced , pulse - laser . The Galactic Navy are developing their own deep - space RemCraft , and pay a large bounty for any thargon craft that are brought to them . ( N.B. Bounty on Thargold invasion craft destroyed is very high . Thargoid battle - cruisers believed to be able to ' hover ' in witch - Space ( hyperspace ) and destroy through - coming craft ) .

I can. Visited both in the last days.

Congratulations to all involved. Good thing i am in the Rift already, so i'll take a look this evening and then... Well i guess head home. Don't think there is anything else to be found out here.
