The spelling errors was after the fact. There are 2 i's in the original phrase.
According to the Dark Wheel(the book), they were men.
That was 200 years ago though.

Jorki, - enlighten me, how does that prove an imperial link?
Totally agree with you here on how useful it would be, but there's still shadows of doubt in my mind over using the Zurara for this role.First the point of having a megaship. Many of you will remember hours eyeballing planets and some of our number crashing in a variety of ways and if lucky getting to limp home carefully in a beat up ship desperately trying not to lose exploration data, and those poor souls who just lost it. With a ship while we have no need for commodities or missions, a place to refuel, repair and sell data would have been a massive boon to all involved. That's just 1 simple use and while we now have bases near the rift, Colonia bases near conflux, we have nothing near the gap or anywhere else we may need to go in future.
Would be great material for Drew's book after Premonition.For some sort of memorial, the back end of nowhere means very little. The graveyard in the bubble makes sense. But so does sticking it to the man and saying "remember this ship you tried to destroy and kill its crew, it's just supported us in catching you"
I'd love a base outside of the BGS, so no Pirates try to interdict me any time I'm on my approach to a station! It's so frustrating when I'm 2Mm out and almost there then suddenly I get interdicted and thrown off course.For PMF, people don't want rifters categorised and lead. Fine. Let a few of us start a rifters support faction, not leaders. I'd quite happily start a PMF alone if I could as part of my RP is wanting to get my extended family off being stuck on welfare in a Fed world. It doesn't have to be the rifters but can be an associated PMF that has decided to support rifters and any other groups, explorers or people heading out to do their own thing away from the usual BGS wars and powers. Gives everyone a choice to join, support or just carry on as normal and a PMF with no implied leadership at all.
It does indeed. That's why I previously suggested an Asteroid Base, because it wouldn't cost so much as a full station or outpost would. I'm still not totally happy with the idea of moving the Zurara, my partner last night expressed her disappointment at the idea that she wouldn't be able to go out and find the logs, and she isn't a Rifter or even really cares to investigate the mystery -- But she thinks the megaships are cool to see, and she would like to get the logs, not through some tourist beacon but through an actual ship, like the Gen Ships. I think just saying "Well if they want voice logs they can go to the Gen Ships" is just selfish.On salvage, a bunch of relatively poor people in a loose association would not have the means or resources to build our own ship, even if the companies we think may be behind this were willing to take our business. Making do with what we find though does make sense.
It shouldn't really support a FSD. Capital ships don't even have FSDs and still use old school hyperspace jumps. The reactor and I believe Life Support are really the only things that need work.On getting the ship operational, that shouldn't actually be too hard. It's the reactor that needs work and that's pretty much it. The bigger job is upgrading it to modern FSD which would be needed if it wasn't going to take months back to the bubble under current limitations. So if flying out to collect bodies, why not take repair goods out, bodies back.
Yeah but we all know how good Frontier is at keeping their details consistent..And finally for docking. I don't know what limitations exist with the megaship model but from the logs, they had condas as well as sideys out there so by ingame description it should have facilities for them.
And how would you manage that without first getting it to a safe dock that can work on it, and not get mind-wiped by airbourne hexedit?Or I could just get a bit of help and steal it.
I think option 1 would be the most compelling for a story, we would steal it and use it in solving the conspiracy. Option 2 is the most respectful, and would leave it unharmed and easily reached by those who wish to see it and the logs. Option 3 is the most useful to us but probably the hardest to achieve.If the general consensus is to let it rot, I probably will try and steal it if allowed by FDev before somebody else does or it gets totalled by the original owner to remove the proof.
If the general consensus is to get it to the graveyard I'll help.
If the general consensus is to reuse it to help the search, I'll help that to.
I was actually thinking more along the lines of Monty Python. "Bring out your deaaad!"All this talk of bringing back the dead? Guessing we're taking about returning bodies to the bubble rather than resurrection. It's just that the phrasing makes it sound like the latter...![]()
This is the most ideal idea to me. We as a group wouldn't really be able to just retrofit this megaship with new drives or anything because we don't have that sort of organization or funding. If we were to revive the Zurara I would feel much happier with it not being able to move as opposed to slapping on FSDs that shouldn't really work with a ship that size.I don't want a rifter faction, I don't want us to own a megaship. I want to revive the Zarara so there is a station/outpost in the Rift for explorers to use, and make it public that it IS out there. My original idea was to revive the ship as a megaship, as Canonn are getting, but not a new one. In light that it has outdated drive tech, and we'd need a formal organisation to run it, I have amended my initial idea. Others have run with this though and are now suggesting we get a brand new megaship or asteroid base. No no no, I say. This was an idea of something for us to do until new mystery's are woven into the game, and a fitting extension of the story and assets created for us.
A new clue. Good spot! Now, if only I wasn't in the office all day, I could throw my efforts into helping
Who was the lady of fate in mythology?
Moirai / moerae in Greek. Clotho , lachesis and atropos
Ninja'ed while editing
Edit... It is entirely possible my grip on sanity is dubious.
Are there not Moirai sectors out there, or am I imagining that? Or something similar? Either I'm insane or I flew through a smallish region with similar names recently.

Can't repeat it enough. Think to your old days. Explorers, by definition, do not have family. Keep the Zurara as Rifters Retirement Home ! Don't be silly !
