Yea, but no beacon discoverer names.

I've not been performing a systematic search - just taking the longest range delivery mission available to a new system - so I've bounced all over the place.
However, the last week I seem to have spent mostly in Fed space around Aganippe, so if you head for Imperial regions or better yet Alliance systems then you'll keep our overlap down to a minimum.
Best guess, whichever rift thread was current during the beacon CG.I am struggling finding beacon discoverers, if anyone can point me in right direction I'm happy to make short list for Drew, he is busy writing the book, so we may at least help him bit more than send him to a post with tonnes of information
Drew
Any chance of a ya or na on my question?
Folks,
Has someone maintained a list of each of the discoverers of the abandoned sites and beacons? It would save me a bit of time going through this thread. I'll be writing this bit up over the next few weeks so want to ensure I get it correct.
If someone could assemble that data for me it would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Drew.
Its also complied on the Children of Raxxla Chronicles section (Chronicle #10 - Securing the Truth).
That works, been meaning to get some imperial rep anyway, will do Alliance stuff too. I'll be back in game tomorrow, will post anytbing I find.
Z...
It is part 3 around page 400 (mid November) but it is hard to tell who was first etc, I do not want to pick up wrong person and strip someone from their achievement
Was there ever a list of beacon discoverers?

Not that I'm aware of. Too many people seemed to have overlapping finds on many of them, particularly in the rift. I think gap and conflux could be worked out though, but even there I have seen different attribution for 1st discovered for some.
Could it have been the people who got first discovery on the bodies orbited by the beacons? Or might it have been someone who didn't sell their data straight away? I got out to Hawking's Gap pretty quickly but was not first discoverer and more tags were appearing in the days I was out there. I looked for other beacons and also Earth-like Worlds (unsuccessfully) and after finding several Ammonia Worlds (and frustrated by problems with my laptop being unable to generate surface geometry/textures for landable worlds) I decided to head home and do something else.
Good chance the first discoverer is the one, but not absolute when that could just be first person getting back somewhere to sell the data so can't be trusted.
Systems I've discovered 'clues' in:
Edenapel - Jacques nonogram, June 3302
Kala - Jacques nonogram, June 3302
Aganippe - Wanted smuggler, January 3303
Rutu - Crashed ship, December 3301
When I find something I usually check the Canonn thread (Google works better than forum search, I find) since it will most likely have shown up there if it's been found before.

I discovered the third beacon in Hawkings Gap and CMDR Erimus the fourth one.

Formidine Rift has an asteroid base in 2.3

Oh man this is fantastic news... could this be the start of the "Exodus" ???
Nice find Erimus

Damn, and I just killed myself in Conflux rushing to see the megaships... probably there is one there too :/
I just docked at one of the megaships. Kind of like a really big outpost with engines.
the patch notes describe 32 "deep space" asteroid bases:
So far they seem to be scattered all over the galaxy, either inside or in close proximity to popular nebulas (Orion, heart, thor's helmet, witch head, cone, rosetta all found so far)
There might be some in already-inhabited systems that wouldn't show up from looking over the Galaxy Map but that list is interesting:
Is there really one in Cone Sector? That sector is surrounded by permit-locked NGC 2264 Sector, so is that permit lock gone? Or is it only nearby?
For us Rifters, the one in the Heart nebula is especially helpful... at least for repair/restock services
