As we know, INRA is in game. DB just gave an interview and said we hadn't found everything yet (YEY!).
I went back to look at where INRA was in FFE, and there's a possible location we could search.
The system of Hotice in FFE is the location of the "INRA mycoid vaccine store" on a rocky planet (source, last mission on the list). However, as I'm sure many of you know, Hotice doesn't exist in ED. It's possible it doesn't exist at all, but...
I was thinking, what if Hotice has just been renamed, but the system still exists in the same place?. So, I did some map-matching.
This is the FFE map stitched together roughly. So we know the core systems are basically the same, but also the systems Tiliala and Bedaho are in ED and they seem to be in the same relative place as on this map. If you add Bookmarks to those two systems, Cemiess, Delta Pavonis and Beta Hydri, you can see on ED that they are in roughly the same place. So, that means we can approximately locate Hotice.
What else?
This shows the system data from FFE. Hotice is a Class M star, with three planets. Rocky, Gals giant with rings and a barren planet:
From FEE we know it's 52ly from Gateway system.
However, checking other distances we find this:
FFE distances (from Gateway):
Tiliala = 48ly
Bedaho = 49ly
Cemiess = 51ly
Delta P = 47 ly
Beta H = 50ly
However, in ED (From Gateway):
Tiliala = 133ly
Bedaho = 134ly
Cemiess = 200ly
Delta P = 92ly
Beta H = 97ly
So it's clear distances are different. Doing a bit of maths we can see that if we multiply the FFE distances by 2.77 we get the ED distances for Tiliala and Bedaho, but the others don't match, so the expansion isn't uniform sadly. So we can't work out an exact distance for Hotice from Gateway in ED. However, I've guesstimated that it'll be around 130-150ly based on the expansion of distances for the nearby systems of Tiliala and Bedaho.
Filtering the Ed starmap for just M class stars... that's still quite a lot to search, even looking them up on EDDB to check how many planets etc.
I figure if there's anything to find, then more people looking will help!
Happy searching!
NOTE: The Mycoid vaccine store sounds sort of like the facility that's already been discovered, but, that could also have just been the lab that developed it, the store could be somewhere else.
