Current In-Game Mysteries Yet to Be Solved...

[ThomasWJames]

I don't know if this is the right place for this thread but does anyone have a quick "at-a-glance" list of the mysteries/theories yet to be found/solved/etc. in the game?

I know of the Barnacles and the new aliens scanning pilots. I think I'm hearing also of some Formidine Rift mystery? Are there like any other lost ships still be found etc.?

I'm going to start reading the books from the first one to learn more about lore and also listening to Escape Velocity audio story. From what I heard the Devs are pretty good at putting some of the lore from the books and fans into the game to find. Any help? As an explorer I would like to have a purpose or a goal instead of just roaming with no cause. Right now I'm on my way to Colonia and then after 2.3 probably to Sag A and Beagle Point. These are just to give me some personal goals but I would love to know more of the mysteries of the game.

If anyone knows any or where to find good discussions etc. let me know. Thanks in advance!

Greetings Commander,

you might find the below mentioned list of threads and resources interesting. Generally, you have a couple of story arcs fanning out from ze Bubbel:

- the conundrum of the ancient race of the Guardians. Who they were, what they supposedly did, are they still around etc.
- the puzzle of organic alien ships flying around and hyperdicting and scanning pilots and their ships (seemingly) at random
- a set of early deep space expeditions to the three areas known as the Formidine Rift, the Conflux and Hawkin's Gap
- the yet to be uncovered shady dealings of corrupt governments and corporations who seek to monopolize knowledge about "the truth"
- the quest for an at least partially legendary and mythical place calles Raxxla

From there on, if you like to persist, you should get a good overview of other resources, links, videos and the like.

If not, ask again

generally as an explorer your help would be very much needed to find missing ancient ruins types .... links the above. but you re going into the wrong direction at the moment.

and then there are also the number beacons, and the settlements the lead to. some of the stories there have open ends ... a missing colony for exampel.

if you plan to settle around colonia, get involved with the CCN - https://eliteccn.com . there you can experiece player made stories unfolding, use your exploration data to back the player backed minor factions out there, and get involved into a lot of cartographic or other activities.

Hey Goemon, I know I'm currently going in the wrong direction as far as all the mysteries and stuff are concerned, but Sag A and Beagle are just a personal goal I want to do. I was going to scan a lot of planets on the way but I think I'm just going to honk and go to get there quick. I can do my planet scanning on the way back. Once I get Beagle out of the way I want to concentrate in helping Canon and other groups solve the mysteries of the game as best as I can. It's what draws me into this game the most, the lore.

I'll let the trading and combat to better people, I just want to solve space mysteries!

Yup, thanks so much this is great. This is what I wanted to see, at least a thread with all if not as many links as possible. I know there is a lot of info out there scattered in different sites but just nice to have official threads linked so people can easily see what mysteries are to be solved.

I'm heading out to Beagle Point from Colonia right now, myself. Still in the 3KPC Far Arm. I tend to only get about 1 - 2kly a night. Perhaps a little collaboration, if you're not too far off my own track, that is. Presently I'm about 8kly out from Colonia.

I'm at Sacagewa Station right now. I do about 1K a night give or take when I can get on. I'm not really doing planetary scanning right now so trying to go quicker. Would love to collaborate but I'm on XBox One not PC. Don't know what you're on. Plus my times fluctuate. If you're on Xbox feel free to friend me at ThomasWJames if not well at least we tried

lol I didn't think about cross platforms. I'm on PC so that won't work. Best of luck to you tho!
