Tin-Foil Time! I went through all of Drew's posts (ever) and compiled the interesting ones here for reference. Make of them what you will, I'll be reading them and posting some conclusions separately.
The Formidine Rift - Part 2
- Thread starter Acheron Kimald
- Start date

I've been thinking that little 'hint' might have meant that if you've been out to the rift, selling your data to the Feds or Imps could get you into some trouble - i.e interdicted by npc's etc
Well said. There's plenty of reason to believe that CoR's relationship with Salomé is one of convenience and mutual exploitation.
I think that if people want to get organised thay should be able to. I also think that if people don't want/can't join in with said organisation then that's fine also.we can and have all been working together using this forum. Some people only read the forums and are still involved. I don't think I'd have time to join a coordinated search but I sertanly wouldn't feel left out ither.
Each to there own.
We blaze our own trail...Wether we blaze it with others is entirely up to ourselves.

Well said
There have been many expeditions out to explore and map the Rift regions, dating back to February 3301. Beginning with lone wolf trips, to small wings, groups, and now Dommorras execellent attempt at a coordinated search. If nothing is discovered during the current Rift ventures, the next logical progression could be to expand the current expedition and possibly set up basecamps out there, with players scouting out jumponium depots, worlds rich in boost material, getting them marked on the maps, and making the logistics of searching the most inaccessible parts of the void out there more appealing. Expanding the search and encouraging more players to take up the challenge.
The Expedition Hub has been set up exactly for these kinds of ventures. Born out of the success of Distant Worlds, explorers now have a thread dedicated to expedition info, and comms channels in place to help coordinate future events.

Bookmark that thread. News of expanding Rift expeditions, as well as many others to come, will appear on there as and when players set them up and the momentum to put ideas into practice grows. Anyone can set an expedition up and use the Hub to pitch it to a wider group of players who would be interested in taking part

I can state it is not true, I came back last week from the Formidine Rift trip and have sell my data to a Imperial faction in Apurui nothing happened to this day with me.
Im now on my way going back -5600LY from Sol because last week i did see there a Salvageable shipwreck poi when I was already in jump and want to investigate it further then i will go again to the Formidine Rift but a different route

Nice! I've subscribed to the thread. ... and thanks for putting my video into the OP. Didn't expect to see that there
Are there any particular systems of interest, as I am heading to the Heart and Soul Nebula's at the moment and someone mentioned that, I could check out the rift whilst around there.
If there are any systems of interest let me know and I can throw a stream on and head to them.
**Edit**
Just been told that I have got to help move some stuff today, so out the window goes my plans however I should be clear for tomorrow.

From CMDR Tall Bird's compilation, I have a question: which "edge of the galactic arm" is closest to merope?
I have a feeling the mystery system is just directly south of merope (it's still part of the formidine anyway, as Drew said, Erimus' Formidine map is just "generally correct", meaning Formidine is a vast rift that extends to the southernmost part of the arm)

Systems of interest are mentioned throughout this thread but the Heart & Soul nebulae are too close to human space and so have been fairly thoroughly explored... though not exhaustively.
Other Points of Interest are mentioned in the documents: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...GtPATAO3XJG82o-Iy-hQ/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0e
Well, Merope's not even in the Perseus Arm. Well within ours.
For my part, I will try to find Tycho G before moving to other hypothesis.
Anyone already looked into mythos around kahina => prophetess and Loren => laurel leading to apollo/pythia/tiresias ?
note that the latter is related to Odysseus and the underworld. It's as far as I got in that line of inquiry.

I did a bit. The oracle at Delphi seemed to be a nice intersection tying both Kahina and Apollo together but the Delphini constellation didn't seem to fit anything else without a crowbar and a lot of hammering.
I know, this is why I'm starting to look after tiresias :
- He counts as a prophetess, tied to apollo.
- He is tied to Odysseus, whom is tied to the prism system names.
- The 2 serpent story relates to the Caduceus, which is the name of Kahina's Imp. Cutter
Then again, space madness XD

Okay... I don't know if this means anything or not.
I'm still 10,000Ly on the wrong side Sol but while fuel scooping I decided to do a visual survey of the area around what we call "the Rift".
I was looking at the Bovomit systems ... didn't they used to say, "Requires Unknown Permit"? This could be nothing, could be a bug, or maybe it was always this way but ... when I highlight any of the Bovomit systems it just says "requires". It doesn't say what it requires though. Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing:
EDIT: When I pull up one of the REGOR systems it does have the text I was expecting to see on the BOVOMIT systems, "Requires Unknown Permit."

Tis a pity we cannot open these ourselves and read what is inside.
I'm going to have a look as well as I'm going that way once I've reached the Heart and Soul Nebulas. Be interesting to know if anyone has tried this yet already as I couldn't find anything in the permit list thread apart from the region being listed.
Maybe we require a UA on board?

I think this has been discussed but I'm not sure if anyone has managed it yet due to the corrosion effect, maybe with the new cargo racks?
This has been discussed before
Consensus then seemed to be that this is something to be filled in by Frontier later and not important yet. Also, people who have collected all currently available system permits have reported that this didn't unlock any region permit for them at this stage.

That's not the Kahina I remember from the book.
