THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)

I'm slightly more confused at the moment. When I got the meaning "necessary" it seems I had misspelt the name as Zarura rather than Zurara. The only thing I could find for Zurara was "thing thrown against a wall to see if it would stick"...

Given Drew's penchant for quasi-mythological and classical names, I am wondering if Zurara is just a play on words of Zerzura: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zerzura

And of course the Gilf Kebir would fill in for the Rift...

Edit: Just saw the Portuguese explorer connection. Still like my idea though...

Given the engineer's "health beams" means a ship can basically be invulnerable, isn't this a potential obvious use for any ships that need to stay alive?

Yep. Maybe not invulnerable but extreme shield buffing possible.

EDIT (he who knows me....): I'm currently working on a "healing" long range build for my FGS.

The phrase used is "and they thpught the Thargoids were trouble"

This is a different phrase from "worse than the Thargpids".

The two phrases are not equivalent in meaning.

Have to say everyday usage in U.K. would be "and you thought X was bad, Y is worse".

The question then would be worse in what way? And for that it could mean a number of things such as danger to us all or the conspiracy and secrets behind it.

I'm not reading too much into it myself, I'll find out what was meant when it's solved
 
That's a good point, but personally I prefer not to discard the Sirius theory. Those systems are very close to the bubble to say that the "RR line theory" is something evident. Perhaps Sirius changed its mind while colonizing. At a point they decided to keep it secret. When I have more time I want to read the history of those systems.

What information do we have that Sirius was involved with Zurara/Formidine Rift mystery? If anyone has links to this information I'd be much obliged. I don't want to be spending days crawling through old threads to peice together information that people already worked out.. I haven't been to the ship yet to hear the logs outright, either, so I don't know if Sirius is mentioned in them or anywhere abouts. Is it just a coincidence that they own stations on the line?

I would think it's more like "worse" than just Thargoids on their own. Now it's Thargoids + X, but this is just my thoughts.

Wew, I love that people wrote words and did patterns on the exploration heat map..

Did you see where someone explored in the shape of a name [I see that is exactly what you said, memory of a goldfish here]? hahahaha. So awesome.

Edit: Did you watch the exploration time lapse video? Some really great things on this site!

just been reading about this Gomes Eanes de Zurara, pretty interesting stuff see the wiki here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomes_Eanes_de_Zurara)

sometimes spelled Eannes or Azurara (checked both of these no hits on the gal map), was a Portuguese chronicler of the Age of Discovery.

he completed the first draft of the Chronicle of the Discovery and Conquest of Guinea, our authority for the early Portuguese voyages of discovery down the African coast and in the ocean, more especially for those undertaken under the auspices of Prince Henry the Navigator. It contains some account of the life work of that prince, and has a biographical as a geographical interest. (could be some clues in there i've not read it yet though)

now while reading i tried looking for system names from parts of the wiki, the only one i got a hit on was Eanes i found 4 stations.

1) Eanes Dock station in the Narangga system

2) station Eanes Gateway in the V1688 Aquilae system

3) Station Eanes Port in the Bangwa system

4) station Eanes Vision in the Contien system

Could be a galnet news article in one of the stations there?

Unfortunately i'm at work so i cant visit the locations myself just yet so i will be going later tonight to have a look.

Its most likely nothing at all and just pure tinfoil but hey its something for me to do later :)

As pointed out, the two phrases are equivalent in speech. If you describe A as thought of as being trouble, and this B thing is actually more trouble by comparison, by definition B is worse than A. Now, I'm not saying that B in this case is another alien race, but correcting everyone every time someone says "But she said it was worse than Thargoids" when in fact they are correct from the phrase is just peeving me off a little.
