The Conflux and Hawkin´s Gap (Part what?)

Max Bothin

I was wondering. As far as I have read yet, there is much of a hassle to the Formidine Rift, and the Zurara. There also are two more areas to be researched, yet. But...I did not find anything more that the abandoned settlements in those areas. There must be more to this! But where? I haven´t found anything, any clue or any activity, not at Galnet, not on the forums.

So I was guessing to start this again. Search for more in the Conflux. And for more in Hawkin´s Gap.

I start with a first clue:

all know: make a line from Reorte to Riedquat ...you find the Zurara

make a line from Reorte to Sol...you find the Settlements in the Formidine Rift.

go a line from Sol to Reorte....: you get the Hawkin´s Gap Settlement Systems.

make a line from Riedquat to Reorte...you find.....? (you seem to go between CEN and CRU on the galaxy map)...will you find something? Probably...where a "g" is printed on the map...as in "Hawking´s Gap"...

Anyone? Explorers? Someone?

And....why does the hint from Mark Devene from 17 NOV 3302 mention systems that had Settlements right on them. Except for the Conflux sites?

I am curious....and I am on my way

is there anything else meanwhile?

Okay, spoiler alert:
These areas have been searched for Earth Like Worlds to serve as refuge where humanity can go in case the bubble gets destroyed by Thargoids, while this plan was concealed from the public in order to not cause a mass panic. But so far we've been doing a pretty good job in repelling them.

Where are these from? I don't recall reading about these, and the two systems are not at the same height (unlike Riedquat and Reorte), so the line between them goes off above and below the galactic plane - well before it would get to the other regions.


In any case, a good while ago I also wondered if there might be two more megaships to find. I asked Drew Wagar in a message if they are actually there to find or not (Frontier could easily have just added the Zurara), but the reply was that he can't say anything about what Frontier might or might not have hidden in the game.

Hm, now that I think about it again... A better question would be if he wrote any other megaship logs, not just the Zurara's. Of course, he might be under an NDA on this matter.

In any case though, even if something were found, it would be nothing more than a fun bit of lore, as the storyline is done with. The conclusion was that there's a big cover-up and the Thargoids are coming, and well, we know that already.

Didn't Drew say there is more there to be found? Unless that was from before the Zurare was discovered.

Yea, I think it was.

Personally I think it would add much detail to the story for us just to find some of the beacons around ELWs/terraformables, & wrecked or derelict ships, or maybe even the odd little settlement at any of the 3 dynasty sites, is it that much too ask??

Well...I am at the Conflux Sites right now. What makes me wonder: it´s two Beacons up there….Cannon says...one. And: you have Mats like in Dav´s Hope...Is there probably more to Dav´s Hop either, or, are those sites simply more Mat-Collecting sites, like Dav´s Hope?

So: PRU AESCS TY-J A64-1

There are two beacons, meanwhile. About 20 km apart. Both start at :00, one plays a 7 min recording (one message, repeated one time), while the other one also starts at :00, but only plays the same message once.

At the planet in the settlement, you can do the same as at Dav's Hope...collect engineers mat, log out, log in...repeat. Actually pretty cool. As a Colonian, I do not have to go the way to the pleiades sector again.

But as far as there are no more hints or activities within the game, I simply suppose, there is nothing more to find in the Conflux, than there was in the Rift.

Huh? Nope, Cannon says their are 4 sites, each with a beacon, see here.

Oh wait, your 2nd post is referencing just 1 site, that is interesting, so they're playing the same message, that's odd, maybe the 2nd beacon is just a glitch??

What does everyone else think?

So I visited all Conflux Sites. All, except the beta Site, had two Beacons at a near planet and materials, that respawned afer relog and driving a short Moment. The beta Site hat two beacons at the central star and no materials at all. At the beta site, there was some structure flying above Ground a few meters (a glitch perhaps)...

the number of Messages are not in chronological order also. means: the 4th message was chonologically before the 2nd (as an example)...

All Conflux sites have 2 beacons?! Ok that's not likely to be a glitch then!
I wonder how long they've been there......
Message order being messed up has been noted before IIRC, sloppy work by Fdev.

Did each pair of beacons have the same message?

I researched only the Alpha Site beacons. As said before...both send the same message, one two times, one only one time...

OLD THREAD, but I have recently also been wondering if we stopped to early on investigating these areas and their leads. Seems there’s loose ends on a few of the narratives and hints to me. As to the post about DW being under the impression that there’s likely more to be found but cannot say, I had also had the opportunity to talk briefly to John Harper last year and asked him if there was anything left from And Here The Wheel to find in game and about some of the apparent discrepancies with in game systems and how they’re portrayed in the books. Received a similar answer likely because of NDA. However he did say that the systems in the books and other lore items were given to him by FDev and are not of his own invention. So although he cannot say if there is a secret base in an asteroid belt or if the systems are intentionally off or not. He also did say that although he cannot state definitively because of contract, that he is also of the belief that there is more to find in connection with his book as well.

Old thread? Nah it's practically brand new! ;)

Oh just one site, probably a glitch then, although it's odd it's so persistent....
Did you check out the other sites?

Im there now so let me know if you want anything checking out.

Did Beta yesterday, 2 LPs there too 20-25km apart (same instance from SC),1 went off at 00 and other at 15. Didn't cross check whether both went off at both times. Both broadcast same message twice.

At another one now but logged off at the LP. 2 in this system too approx. 20-25km apart same as above. Will log back on to try and get the messages later.

Need to get back before 16th latest so hurry up if you want something looking at will be leaving area tomorrow, can stream on Mixer I think (Xbox).
