Everyone seemed to gloss over this so I'll answer it with a "test it and find out!"
Maybe I will, though it's a pretty long trip. I estimate 9 hours each way... we'll see if I can get that mission again.

Just so you know, the CoR Tourist Beacon doesn't tell you anything particularly interesting and it doesn't seem to 'advance' you in the Formidine Rift quest.
There's a screenshot of the Beacon in v3 of the Rift Thread, somewhere.
Also - 9 hours being a long trip? You poor, naive fool
I have been pondering this and I totally concur whatever we are going to find is something you will see. Maybe a nebula disappears from a certain viewpoint, or something else is visible.
I spent some time in EAFOTS far edge last week and I tried jumping to a system and flying far away from the sun so you can see the galactic clouds and still found nothing but I am sure this is on the right track.

Wouldn't it be weird if they all met up on the same planet?
#WhatAreTheOdds?
Given the rarity of earth like worlds/habitable worlds I would say the odds are pretty darn good
Man! I missed that too. I must have taken that night off
I really, really need a REAL murder board. There is so much going on in Galnet that is linked together.
...and the latest now. Has anyone been out to COL 70 sector yet?
the stepping stones seem to be heading more to regor I think,,,,prolly both

Professional level but has free CE version and that's all I know so far but has case file investigation presets,
haven't really had a chance to figure it out yet but looks like its overpowered for the task, but why drive a volvo when you got a tank in the driveway.
This is probably my worst idea ever.
[time passes]
The more I look at it the more I like it, must be a really bad idea.
Will do your galnet murder board much like the imdb example?

Could link to every spreadsheet, every post, every youtube, every tweet,,,

Target IC 1805 SECTOR RY-R D4-109 and look around.
All. The. Time.
Maybe we are all looking in the wrong areas.
The logs say that they were having a hard time to plot because stars were few and far inbetween. They also say they can't see much past the stars nearest to them so it tells me we have to look near the very edge of the arm to find clues.
Like, where stars are 25-30ly apart.

On djtruthsayer's twitch interview with Drew https://www.twitch.tv/videos/117556163
Drew confirmed the Formidine Rift is exactly where we think it is, so the red blob edd map is correct, just beyond the Posidial Wall in the gap between it and the New Outer Arm.
HD 15558. Target it & look from your cockpit
I tought it was something too because "Whether it's found depends on who goes looking."
But no, i already went here too

I fly in VR... I can't even eat a sandwich while I'm playing, much less read something on a second screen.
Also I don't want to be away long during the alien ruins affair.
If the beacon gives nothing It's a shame. I was hoping there were clues in rare missions... especially since in principle the server can spawn the mission to different players until it gets picked up, unlike local news which go away unseen.
It's not a rare mission - it's just a standard tourist destination
Are we still looking for a beacon in the conflux? I'm making a slow journey back from the rift for now and I'm wondering whether to carry on to there or not.
I'm heading back out there. Been searching EAFOTS for ELW's, but I don't think this is the right area based on the messages talking about how dark it was and you couldn't see any stars.
May as well leave this here.
Park yourself at EAFOTS EU-R C4-1.
Hit the Galmap and turn stars off.
Then navigate to SAG A. Rotate the map so SAG A is directly in line with your position. (In front), but do a nice job. Remember, bottom dot under pin is you. Helps to zoom all the way into SAG A first.
Then hit the travel home key. And switch stars back on.
Notice that arrow, or "lambda" shaped cluster of stars yet? That looks just like another ladder of base systems?
Well, one of them has an ELW. That would be EAFOTS KL-Y D2.
Checked it down to every belt. Nuffin.
But,I am absolutely certain this is where the lady ended up. Why wouldn't there be a beacon? Because I'm just plain wrong?

MASSIVE TINFOILEY QUESTION COMING UP:
What if we jump to a certain system and end up in a different space? I get half a second lag when in the first Five seconds of Witchspace in the Rift... but never when i go out of the Rift. You think something is trying to trigger while in the jump?

One of my tinfoil theories is that somewhere at FDev there is a lonely little server and on that server runs a second galaxy, probably smaller then ours and it contains only stars and planets, no stations and what so ever. And somewhere in the rift there is a weird system with 3 stars. They look normal in the system map but when you look at them directly from above, you see that they form a perfect triangle. And when you fly straight through the middle of that triangle, you end up in an instance on this lonely server and be the first who has gone to another galaxy... [wacko]
