Codex rumours - where are they?

Nerix

I haven't played the game for a few weeks, so bare with me if the question should be outdated.

Codex rumours were one of my most anticipated things about the codex - some vague hints and riddles that would lead the community towards mysteries and yet undiscovered things in EDs universe.

Any hint when we can expect to see them in the game? The last time I checked for them I haven't seen any in the codex.

Perhaps they'll arrive with the revamped CGs with the April update?
Any official word? What do you think when they'll be implemented?

Hate to give you the bad news. Rumours are in the codex, you can confirm them. Anomalies, gas clouds, bodies, molluscs. These lackluster POIs are the feature.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking, too. In typical Frontier fashion, what we seem to have now is a bare bones mechanic awaiting a fleshing out. The entire Codex needs more meat on its bones, come to think of it. Fortunately, it seems like Frontier is doing just that (e.g., the Player Handbook that is being added to the Codex with the next update).

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the next update, should be pretty interesting. :)

The codex, when it was first explained seems quite decent & something you could work with within the game.

I was planning to incorperate it into how I was going to continue my Exploration of the Galaxy.

That was the theory.......in practice, I stopped bothering with it after a month. I only check it occasionally to view my cmdr stats.

The Galaxy Map part doesn't even retain information on Sections that you've moved out of, this information is only shown again when you return to that Section. It should at least recognise that Iv actually been in a Galaxy Section!

Another 'bare-bones' mechanic that needs life breathing into it already!

Pretty sure it does. Well it did that last time I looked at it.

Yeah, when you click on a sector on the map it brings up a summary & shows 0 discoveries. 0 Stars, 0 Planets 0 Bio/Geo structures.

Only when you select one of those items, which is telling you 0, can you see what you've completed...must be a bug!

Well mine doesn't, it shows 0 Codex info in the bubble & Ive added quite a bit of stuff to it while i was there!

Edit.
Probably a bug at the time, not checked it still does it recently

Same for me, it was a bug since day one and never patched since then...

As stated above, unfortunately that's not the case. The rumour section was never used so far, just reported (when you were the first CMDR that found something) or confirmed.

The Codex has a good potential, that's not used so far. I hope for the new CG mechanics, perhaps they'll use rumours for that.

I'm guessing that rumours were meant to be hints about stuff that would come with the paid content, which was supposed to be arriving alongside 3.3; so now the planned rumours won't be appearing till late next year and it's an open question whether the small team currently producing content for ED have the capacity to produce anything rumour-worthy in the meantime.

Yeah, I noticed this too, unless it has been changed in the last few weeks. When you cross into a new sector, only POIs for that sector are shown.
