On the subject of galmap oddities, did we ever work out (as a game community) what the deal with Beta Phoenicis is? It takes you down to -25k on the galmap coordinates and then breifly selects the system before resetting.
THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)
- Thread starter Cmdr Zach
- Start date
Given there have not been any clues as to the destination (as far as I know) I guess anywhere is a possibility. But I am still holding onto the idea that the Alliance are still the good guys so am hoping she is heading there. We know Alioth is out of play so I'm going to opt for...
Gateway or Tionisla

My bug report was apparently assigned to the round metal file.
I know the weird bouncing behavior happens because the scrollable vertical limits on the galmap are +/-10k (ish). As to why the star is wildly misplaced: Thargoids, natch.

Gateway has gone - @Lobey
Tionisla has gone - @BuddyE
If you want to pick other locations at random, feel free - I'm pretty sure you'll be closer than Erimus.
Beta Phoenicis is free if you want it.

I made it out to the Zurara.
Pretty amazing to see it up close and in person.
For those that are bored at work, I made a video of my journey.

You can't pick something that has already been picked? Hmph.
Nothing then, as those would be my picks. There is no point in picking places I don't think she its going to.
Indeed, but you miss my point. I know something of Salomé, but hardly anything about her associates. I've been told I have a choice to make, that the fate of humanity rests on the outcome. But neither side has made a decent case why I should support either of them. It ought to be something better than a popularity contest: "In tonight's Galaxy's got Talent Finale it's the mysterious raven haired Salomé and the Raxxla Close Harmony Singers versus pop princess Aisling Duval and the Imperial Dance Experience."
Give me a reason with some depth as to why I should pick a side. Why should I care about anyone involved, let alone trust what they say? An event of such purported importance should involve more than a few true believers and a host of apathetic commanders up for some mass pew pew.

In that case, why did you call them fugitives? That sounds like you have already accepted one sides version of events.
If you are wanted by a government and remain at large you're a fugitive. Your guilt or innocence, or the perception or judgement of any person has nothing to do with it.
Remembering very good moments with his books, and obviously wishing to homage Master Arthur C. Clarke, I wish it could be Europa, ...but the 'no Sun permission needed' makes me finally bet for Robigo.

@Masheikh Scytale : you could also claim Arrakis
Thx ! Alas, RP> for safe consistency I must consider it as entirely destroyed....

Since Tionisla, Lave, Acamar and Prism are already taken - I'm going to take a wild guess and say: Tianve and/or the middle of a Thargoid fleet.
Honestly though I suspect the destination could be different for each character? If i were to plan it out i wouldn't send them all to the one place. So my best 4 guesses listed could be all be valid end-points really. We have no clues to this yet do we? Just the start point and the Zurara came out of the recent clues, no reference to an end point?

We are literally trying to shoot a fifty pence piece on Mars from a hundred million light years away right now. Although as always with those things, someone always manages to get it eventually
I can't really better this reply:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fugitive
Nelson Mandela and many other great historic figures were once fugitives. Fiction is rife with heroic fugitives from Robin Hood to Jason Bourne. It's not a pejorative term.
Hell, even Erimus uses the term in his event thread. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...onition-End-Game-Event-29th-April-3303 Cheers, Are you suspicious of him?
I really don't have side in this. And that's my problem. How about you try and convince me to pick one.
o7, CMDRs.
I just wanted to pop in and say hi and thanks so much for giving us voice actors such a warm welcome to the Elite community.
The response to the new voice acting has been... amazing... encouraging... overwhelming... It's been a really bizarre and totally unexpected week! Basically, I couldn't have wished for a better intro to this universe and the more I'm learning about it the more impressed I am with both the game and the people who play it. Particular thanks to everyone who made the long journey out to the Rift - we'd been waiting for someone to find our logs for a long time so cheers for putting us out of our misery!
Fly safe and fingers crossed I'll see you all out in the black at some point soon.
