I'm delighted to let you all know that my Exploration Vessel "Matariki" is undergoing some last minute engineering work, and will be heading out to join you all in this wonderful endeavour.

I find it funny that some ppl have brought fully decked out cutters and vettes but the trip back wont be short

Worse comes to worst, apparently you can loiter at a Gnosis landing pad, get blown away, and respawn with a minor fine at some detention center. It'll be a remote one, but certainly closer to civilization than somewhere in the rift.

Here is a question/thought I do not think I yet saw in this thread.... given the timing of the new Chapter 3 release, and the Gnosis trip into permit locked space, anyone think there may be new exploration discoveries, introduced by Chapter 3 release, which will be central as part of this game path trip??

Yes but i dont think you can hand in discoveries a certain distance from the drop off point in this case we will be confined to 4 systems

It's not nearly that bad. The Cone Sector is about a hundred LY across and contains at least several hundred systems. You'll be able to turn in exploration data at the Gnosis for all but the handful right next to the parking system. I imagine it would be a serious project for one explorer to visit every one in four weeks. I'd be surprised if you manage to run out of things to see.

As for new plot content, I'm honestly not expecting there to be anything like that, but you never know! If there's something comparable to Guardian sites, four weeks is definitely not a lot of time to eyeball however many hundreds of planets.

Just a quick shot... if we (or rather our route plotter) could not find a way IN to the Cone sector, maybe we'll get the opportunity now to find a way OUT by hand-picked route plotting? Anything that possibly speaks against this idea? Or has the boarder been already completely examined from 'outside'?

You would need an extremly engineered ship and a neutron star right on the edge of the "inner" bubble

Conceivably, but probably not.

Gnosis is jumping across one of the thinner parts of the locked zone, and the jump will be 490 LY. The absolute max jump for today's ships is about 360 LY (G5 engineered, stripped down Conda using a Guardian FSD booster and a neutron charge). Now conceivably there is a notch somewhere in that wall of locked systems, that all previous explorers have missed, that would get the jump down below that 360 LY. And conceivably it can't be used from the outside, because there isn't a neutron star in the right place, but does have one in the right place on the inside.

So yeah, all of that is possible. But given what we see about how locked sectors work, there would need to be another named sector somewhere on the boundary for such a notch to exist. I find it pretty unlikely that something like that would have been missed until now, since you can find those scrolling around looking at star names in Galmap without even leaving port.

I believe with latest planetary scan capability, if there is a POI on the planet such as a Guardian Ruin/other, I believe it is noted in the HUD? Thus if explorers honk a system, then scan each planet, the planetary scan could reveal a POI...at least I think it now works that way? No more need to eyeball planets for POIs...

That's the Q4 (2.3) update though ... not Q3 (2.2) that dropped today, just in case thinking that.
