ok i have been out there up and down top to bottom, have almost got stuck a few times and used 5 boosted jumps to get out!! its got scary as i have been out here for a while and my ship is at 38% hull, no heat sinks left.
i found nothing out of the ordinary, i even used jumponium to get to a couple of class b's out of my 33ly reach but just found the atypical systems over and over.
the only thing i found was the layer of brown dwarfs... just like a whole onion skin layer of brown dwarfs? below the galactic plane.
i had a bad scare earlier and have now started heading back towards the bridge with a view to going home and maybe picking up my anaconda..

That's why you need to give away as much as you can, so we can share the effort.
This rift is dangerous! Seriously!
I was trying to brute force my way in to the rift. From sol to the rift it was smooth flying. i thought to myself, "this is a great rift.. can fly anywhere
But Brute forcing was to much for me. I knew i didn't find anything, but who knows huh I needed to be in the bubble again. Do a smugling run or something.
So lets go home! Only takes 3 days or so (oh dear).
...Or not. I seem to be stuck now. Can't get anywhere I get to systems i have already scanned and then it stops. Cant even plot a 100 LY range to get out. going in was easy! Going out......
Please help me!

1) Don't panic. Stay calm.
2) If in panic, see 1).
3) Plot using short routes, extend plot to nearby systems thereby easing the plotter to go further.
4) Change between Fast/Eco, let the plotter find the routes for you.
5) Try moving up/down. Sometimes you've got into a spiral. Spiral out again.
6) Backtrack using your netlogs.
Brute forcers dont log
Maybe i shouldn have added the "please help me". I think the meaning of that joke got lost when i wrote it down.
Anyway, i think i can get out. Even if it takes a week or so but this just came as a surprise. i am realy stuck in the black but i will be back!
Thanks anyway Cmdr Macros Black

Ask for help and it will be given. To paraphrase a famous CMDR: "Use The Brute Force, Leut!"

Get Captain's Log and let it scan your netlogs. Then use this info to reverse engineer the course that brought you there. Good luck Commander!
Install EDDiscovery, http://eddiscovery.astronet.se/ it reads all your netlogs and shows you where you've been. You can add and keep notes on systems, triangulate systems, share the coordinates and then the locations shows up on EDDiscovery's 3D map, you can color code them for yourself. Sign up to http://www.edsm.net/ and get your API key so you can share your mapped data and even better sync and backup everything from your netlogs, useful if you have a crash or loose your netlogs. It can help with other things too like route planning, log your materials locations, screenshot organizing and other stuff.
Good advice. Finwen has done a very good job indeed.
You got a link for that? (please
Captain's log can be found here: http://scarygliders.net/captains-log/
Here's a screenshot of Captain's Log running on my computer in-game. I like the overlay feature. Lets me use it on my single monitor setup without having to alt-tab:
anyone have like a document/website/whatever with all the clues to the Formidine Rift? If not this could certainly help with our efforts in finding this system or area.

the group in my signature has the beginnings of a collection of information if u want to check it out, registration is needed to access it though which is quick and easy
Was just going over Twitter, Drew posted this on the 7th of this month-
"Well, the secret of the Formidine Rift is out there to be found, more about it may be revealed this year, if all goes well..."
So for those who may be getting frustrated with the search, be patient. There is something to find, we just don't have all the pieces to know exactly where or haven't figured it out
