Guys... For my knowledge... only 3 confirmed ... that reddit guy is definitely fake. Meaning that not he or his friend hadn't find anything. Obviously we can't be sure that other people that do not share their thoughts here, eventually did not find it, even before that these 3 guys (including myself) and just kept their mouth shout.
 
So,

Absolutely no connection to Nvidia in the system / station name.

In essence, we can assume that this is a lottery where "stations visited" equals tickets bought, and the rest is luck.

I would have prefered to see some kind of actual skill involved. Problem solving, deduction.

Congrats to the ones who got lucky, I just got fed up with how FD runs things.

Was just about to add my own spout of bitterness, but hey ho, beaten to it :D

Congrats to the lucky winner and friends (presumably), maybe the next competition they run will actually require effort and not rely on luck.
 
Can confirm that Meow was legit. I just wound up in his instance and he gifted me one outside the station for nothing which I docked and sold. Probably too late, but still an amazing gesture.

I have to agree... I was trying to apply Godel's Metric to figure out various systems near Ededleen that could be related, checking systems with stations named Kurt or Kurtz or Einstein (worked closely with Godel), systems / stations beginning with Santa or Saint since NVIDOA HQ is in Santa Clara, along with a variety of other things... would have been nice to see the answer be a solution to a riddle or involve some puzzle solving skill. (who knows maybe it did and 5 people just got lucky before it was solved)

In any case... I'm going back to exploring now. See you all in several thousand light years ;-)
 
That is serious dedication right there lol, i was thinking more along the lines of a web tool that could search based on distance from Ededleen, since that would be faster than what you did
Well, it's faster than waiting for a web tool to be developed that somehow has access to all the data from the Frontier servers.

Goes to show all these conspiracy theorists out there about things in the real world how thin their stung together facts actually are.
Most conspiracies have logic behind them instead of being comprised of random actions picked from a pool of 10,000 bits of paper with random actions written on them by a procedural random action generator.

Bleh, I am not happy about this. I will go and fume quietly somewhere else. I wanted to at least be able to explain the solution once the location was revealed. I hope there is a solution that the winners just haven't picked up on.

Should it turn out to be the case I agree. If it was totally random hmm..
 
another thing, I also have an egg from Zaonce, and I am at 215ly from Ededleen and 200ly from Zaonce, its going for ~49,000 so your theory of doubling wasnt far off

Even the hand coded missions in the ancient elite had way more thought that this, i.e. hunt for the Fer De Lance in the original required following a trail of clues. I too are disappointed at the effort FD put into this.

But i had a blast lets hope they do it again but with more thought going into it.
 
So he was completely legit when he said it was completely random.

I guess that just proves the point.

More than anything, I'm surprised that Nvidia would allow something that is going to make 5 people happy and a potential of thousands ticked off.

So, there are three likely winners so far, am I right? And we still don't publicly know the name of the station, and people are already calling it quits? More like Elite: Crybabies IMO ;)
 
Taking as a moot point that it was random: FD seem to have this habit of wanting to do nice things for the community and then somehow plucking defeat from the jaws of victory... could have been so much fun and a truly entertaining challenge, left people feeling bitter because it was left to chance.
 
Now could someone please tell the rest of us their location?
So many people claiming to have found and delivered them and still not a single word, WHERE.
