Why, I have the very same boxed Elite and book near to hand.
Nice video and interesting, thanks.
Excellent! Trivia: How many boxed games from the Elite series are visible during the video?

I'll be working on a new one next week, part of the mapping project, so it'll be in the correct position
. It'll have a few more POIs too and may contain 'unofficial regional names', to help humanise it a bit and give that region of the galaxy more character. The mapping team will be using the set of coordinate systems you posted early on this thread, I assume they're still the most accurate systems to use as references along the RR line?

Hope you're going somewhere warm & bring some sun back. I'm freezing on the South Coast!Sooo. we now have the what and the why
I shall be diverting my trip to the rift, but sadly, I will be away all next week on a short holiday, so it will take longer than I had hoped. I guess I will have a lot to catch up on when I get back.
Don't forget your copy of Reclamation!
What's the difference between an Easter Egg and a Clue? (that reads like a joke but it's not!)
Please inform...
I don't think that would be a problem actually... ;-)
Possibly - I thought they were Elite or Founder originally? Did they change to just Elite at some point?
Same here...

An easter egg is fun, but exists as an end on its own. A clue points towards deeper secrets.
Are you guys talking about Dark Wheel missions? I just saw 2 at Jameson Memorial and took 1, there wasn't enough time to grab the other one.
The mission I took required Pathfinder rank.
Cool - which ones - Obfuscated in the Outer Rim, or the SAP-8 one? (Forget the names). I've been there every other night over two weeks, haven't seen either of them. Thanks.
They weren't ordinary missions issued by the Dark Wheel faction, but special ones that were supposedly changed to appear only at Founders World as of v1.5/v2.0 but have vanished. I raised a bug last month about it & have asked again in the current livestream thread what's happened to them...
The mission titles that I know of were:
Obfuscated In The Outer Rim: Answering The Call Of Adventure
Dark Wheel Seeks Diplomats For Discreet Delivery: Sealing The Deal
The Silent Song Of The Spheres: Elite Traders Wanted For Secure Transport Assignment
Discrete Redistribution Agent Desired: Elite Combat Pilot Required For Black Budget Mission
The Wheel Of Time Turns: What Was Lost Will Soon Be Found
Mastering the Maleficent: Stop the spread of Misfortune
MacrosTheBlack was investigating them in theory that they were related to finding Raxxla. You can find screenshots of them in this >thread<
I'm afraid I didn't pay any attention to the mission titles.
The 1st mission was a data delivery one to a surface base. I completed that one and returned to Founders to take a delivery mission for Consumer items, again to a surface base.
I'm just 1 jump away from Jameson, so I'll see what shows up when I'm back.
My status with the Dark Wheel is Friendly and I'm 'leet explorer for what it's worth.

Only 1 Dark Wheel mission available now: Seeking Couriers for LFT 926 trip. So nothing special. I'm going to take more missions and see if I can become Allied.
From Newsletter #122:
Former Federal president Jasmina Halsey has launched an appeal for exploration data. According to a member of her personal staff, the former leader believes the data will prove there are super-intelligent beings living in the depths of space. The Azaleach Partnership has agreed to coordinate the campaign on Halsey's behalf, and to reward pilots who deliver exploration data to Leoniceno Orbital.
Guys, it's happening.

I can see it now, Salomé's agony aunt column in the Lave Gazette...
"Dear Salomé, there's this girl at work I really like, but I don't know if I should approach her..."
"Hi Salomé, how do you deal with deep space laundry? I've not taken off my flight suit in five weeks and..."

Thanks - so it is possible you need to have friendly or allied influence with Dark Wheel perhaps before they show up at Founders. I am currently neutral, and not yet Elite in exploration (one down, whatever that is) so if I can get myself to friendly or allied with them will report back when/if they start showing up. Takes forever for the regular Dark Wheel missions to show up, even if you switch modes.

I suspect one or both of these is key.
