What's the planned return route and schedule? Were you planning to just jump all the way back to Delphi? I want to show my dad some sights on the way back seeing as I'm already out here and am trying to figure out when to get off the ship.
Formidine Rift Expedition
- Thread starter Yuri John
- Start date
CMDR Aris Tarkus from deep in the Formidine
Expected September 30th and I'll be jumping straight back to Delphi. If you have a specific stop in mind, please mention it here.
Sorry about that, forgot that I already posted it. I'll put a fresh one in here later.

No double postings!
Dad wanted to see more around the Heart and Soul area, but wasn't able to come over at the time. I'll probably just run the whole route and fly out there on my own later since the scheduling isn't working. I tried plotting routes back there myself, but they keep failing. I must not be able to jump an arm with my 52LY range. I thought it would be enough, but apparently not.
52LY should be fine, there are some anomalies out there that can interfere with long plots especially towards Zurara.
I was there a few weeks back solo and i couldn't plot a long course (3900ish LYs) to SYREADIAE JX-F C0 but once i got closer it let me.
There are some locked systems that way which can also play havoc with plotting.
Heart and Soul is well worth the trip!

Which is why at worst I will simply take a more traditional flight back out there, and be able to hit all the other classic sights he hasn't seen along the way in the Pleiades, Orion, Horsehead, and so on. Those are going to require another (potentially much shorter) trip later anyway.
I was able to plot to the Zurara, but not to the Formidine bases or anything past them, or direct to the Bubble Nebula. I may try some other options tonight, but the long and short of it is that I only have 6-8 days of flying to try get there before he goes on a month long trip. If I didn't have that time limit I'd just go pathfinding.
But with the time limit and knowing I'll be doing another trip later, I'm leaning towards just turning that trip into the long one I intended to do on the way back from this cruise.
I'm currently so deep in the rift I decided I was going to turn this into my long trip as well. Probably going to run the edge of the galaxy and then come back via the Seagull Nebula and Thor's Helmet
Could we try stop by Rho Cassiopeiae on the way back?
Oh man, saw that there's an expedition going, but obviously I'm late to the party. Hope you've had a good one, and wish you a safe return.
Hypau Phlai UD-A D1-1, a system with 5 brown dwarfs, all ringed.
