Hi gentle folks of the Rift,
I''ll try to be at 46 Eridani on the 29th, with an iCourier if RL lets me... She has 660 boost, 30ly range, 2A interdictor and above average shields. No weapons though! Just to harass people who dare lay a finger on our Lady Kahina!
I think this event will be a total chaos with instancing problems, random PVPers looking to grief anyone who passes by, and players in general wandering around not knowing what to do, like me. But i think it will be fun and worth it!
I also have a couple of thoughts i want to share with you guys:
Not long ago, there was this CG demanding tantalum in the Prism system, and because it didnt reach higher tiers due to lockdown problems, i remember Drew posting something like hoping it's enough tantalum. Enough tantalum for what?
This must be related with the upcoming event for sure. What was all that tantalum for? Well, we know that tantalum is used for FSD drives components.
Also that meteorite that disappeared from somewhere not long ago? Maybe the tantalum was to build a huge FSD drive for it. Maybe it's going to be there at 46 Eridani, or at the final destination, wherever that is...
Somehow i suspect that this all related with the upcoming event.
What you guys think?
I think it's going to turn into one complete F fest, with every ganker and their mother in sight HELL BENT on destroying everything they see just because they can... and don't forget Multicrew so they can bring their dog along as well.
I think that it's unrelated to the Formidine Rift. Why would they want us to go out to permit-locked space, hundreds of light-years from where the Zurara was found and the Formidine Rift activity is really happening? It's a little closer to Heart and Soul, and the settlements nearby, sure -- But not really justified at all. Unless there's some major game-changer being planned and unveiled at 46 Eridani, I don't see why it's related or how it even could be. Just because Salami is there and all of her cult followers?
The only logical reason it could be there and yet still be related to Formidine mysterys is because it's closer to the bubble and they want more player interaction and involvement.
If it is indeed a pathway that's being followed, I doubt it would go near to Formidine because of the sheer distance.
If anyone's out that way, what's there that may interest us besides permit-locked systems?
This!
