[ANNOUNCEMENT] Win an Nvidia Geforce Titan Black in our in-game Scavenger Hunt

[LifeSuport]

This promo is making me see nothing but what could be with this game. Where is my go to fence, my bounty liaison with the federation, my inside news guy, my pirate/captain hostage that happens to have "a bit 'o news about that titan thing, if you only let me live."

Sadly, this is the only thing that has given me a reason to leave the system I've been in since almost the start of the game and I'm flying out to a system based on a guess and no real intel. The saving grace is I'm in DK2init, otherwise this game would be a lot like X2 or pretty much any space game, but for me it is virtual reality!

I just went to ededleen system and only saw 5 people hanging around. but it is early in the morning.

I've tried going to all planets / starts named after the Titans, no luck there (unless I missed one).
What is the first clue, are we all being too devious, is it just that ededleen is just an anagram of ed (Elite Dangerous) needle, which is exactly what we're searching for ?

The biggest annoyance for me is that scavenger hunts have clues and require some lateral thinking... This is a wild goose chase; like looking for a microbe-sized needle in a planet sized haystack, equipped with nought but terrible eyesight and numb fingers.

The competition is a fantastic idea, but I feel some kind of clue should be handed out, rather than relying on just blind luck. At this point, it's just a lottery...

Well I used to believe this but I stumbled across something and now I'm certain there is a theme here. I would say but im pretty confident about this one and I don't want anyone finding it while I'm at work XD

Eh...must admit, I thought it was totally random, then I thought I had seen several clues, then I went back to thinking random, though I am sure when they release the location name upon done I will be feeling stupid..

Any Gunters still looking?

Taking what you say about ed - needle. I looked at this backwards and the only thing closely related to 'haystack' was Bale in Alexis Centauri = they are not there.

I keep wavering between the two positions as well.

It'll be disappointing a little if it was just random though.

After recording 12 hours of my hunt and turning it into a 2 minute time-lapse... im basically done. Its like a Needle in a galactic hay sack.

 

[DanTheMan]

Not here Matey. Lovely prize 'n all that, but probably easier to pick the winning lotto numbers out of a hat and go buy one.

Nice reference.
And yeah, I'm still looking. I've got a really nice lead. No way this is coincidence. Would tell you, but I'm not even certain of it myself

Share the idea when you get home and have secured a Titan for yourself? Preferably via pm...

I've had a number of those

Nothing for now !

The amount of theories and themes in this thread is astounding. I can't wait to see the data that'll be released after this!

Aye.

I think it all equals fun, all this thinking.

And data, everyone loves data

See if you can spot all the starports ive been to in this timelapse.

For a Solo player, it's certainly an entertaining thread to follow!

 

[Gargoyle]

I don't even have the game yet (Roll on Tuesday), and when I do finally get going, I don't think a Titan Black will fit inside my MacBook pro.

However, if I was going to tackle this competition with a bit of reasoning and logic instead of just the possibility of a chance encounter with the correct outlet, I would definitely be starting by cross referencing things related to Christiaan Huygens - The discoverer of Titan and a "pioneer of games of chance"... thats gotta be a good starting point!

If there was also anything which overlapped with the "ALLIANCE EXPLORATION PROGRAMME" community goal, I would put that top of the list, too. A competition to find something and a community goal to go exploring in the same week... might just be a coincidence though.

See you in game real soon!
