I may have missed something, but it appears that the Rift 'mystery' turned out to be an Easter egg hunt to a POI.
If that's the case, then what he^ said.

Ah, thanks - never seen that article. Then again, I only bought the game in the August of that year. (And only became aware of it's existence a month earlier)
Imaginary, and they always were.
It feels like FD just put a megaship there, and released a Galnet riddle pointing to it, just to finish this thing once and for all.
I wonder if the powers that be had dealings with this mysterious big bad. Maybe that's why we have huge swaths of permit systems, because we were completely outmatched and the leaders agreed to terms to keep Them placated. So then, were the three scouting locations really contingency plans? Or was nixing such long range colonization plans part of the agreement? Maybe Jacque's messed up everything by starting a new bubble so far away and that's why we're seeing things like Hyperdictions. Now there's a rush to make something useful out of meta alloys, and continuous CGs to develop Colonia. Maybe the powers that be are mobilizing. Fighting AND fleeing.
I think that would be too sudden for F "Slow burn" Dev.

Now on to find megas in Conflux and Hawkin(g)s!
Playing devils advocate here, and not trying to diminish the result but would like to see what others think.
Looking at the clues presented initially regarding the discarding of veils and the rebirth imagery you could say we did at least get some hint that we were trying to resurrect something. However, solving the mystery by deciphering the continual cropping up of of constellations and the gods they were named for was certainly nebulous in the extreme if we were expected to have them in a specific order. Especially when Rebecca's name (which isn't related to the source material and not mentioned in the clues) was slipped into the final clue just so we could discard it. Does this look as though this was weighted towards CoR and CoR only?
Would it be salty to suggest this hasn't entirely played out how people had hoped? Personally I was hoping for something "alive". I do accept that dead civilizations are easier to programmed than living ones but still.
Also Zeeman has a good point.

Well, I never trust an Imp anyway. None of the Oddsocks family do. The name itself started as an act of defiance against an Imperial Senator by my grandfather, the great General Oddsocks* of the Bamuti Clothes War.
*Edit: well technically, it was a derogatory nickname given by the Imps, but he took the name in pride.

It's always been evident that some would be disappointed with the solution to the FRift mystery. I fully expected to be, but am pleasantly surprised. I think the riddle was necessary because the slow search for the solution has overly delayed FD's storyline (and bottom line, since their next major influx of funding will come with series 3, and 2.4 must come first & I think that is now galloping towards us on multitudes of insectoid legs). And is a ship a POI? I would have said not.

Another vrep!
No, unless we have a clear confirmation from FDev about these ships existing in-game now.

Drew acknowledged the entire communities effort.
So can we move on to the second riddle please?

Aisling is actually an interesting character. She is(probably) the daughter of the ex crown prince of the Empire and a federal high society glamour girl.
She has little reason to be loyal to the Empire.
I also suspect that ex Sirius employee, Felicia Winters will be on the first Exodus ferry. She has on PP decal.
I'm beginning to suspect that my choice of a Sirius Corp. system as my home system may come back to bite me.
I'm with you. After spending days of bleary eyed searching of beige planet after beige planet during the great ruins hunt, I'm not going that far just to find nothing. If you want to spend your time searching, more power to you, but the great hunt broke me.

Sure it is.
An egg dropped by the Camelopardalis just when Perseus was remembered by the Vain Queen at the very entry of the Underworld where you must pass the Seven Veils and leave behind the Tiara and other trinkets before Charon gets you in but you can keep your Cor and give him your Anima, because you know The Key is also the Door .....etc..etc...
COME ON !!!!
Not before you buy his book. That is pretty much the point why he even showed on forums will all his "awesome" stories.

Yes, we get you are salty. Can we move on?
You seem a bit bitter. Did something play out different to what you expected?
Why are some people so p***ed all of a sudden? Did I miss something? We finally figured out a large part of the Rift mystery.

Yeah, I don't get it. We're getting progress on a long running mystery and an in game event to go along with it. If it comes with a reminder that there's a new book coming out, who cares? It's not required reading. I mean, I guess I can understand some consternation if you spent a long time trying to solve it and then it doesn't live up to your expectations, but that's on you and your expectations, not Drew.
