The Formidine Rift - Part 2

Has anyone checked out the Bubble Nebula? I'm not far from it now, worth peeking my head in?
I passed through the bubble nebula about a month ago, most systems have been visited around it. nothing major was noted. Most everything was scanned before I got there.
 
Note that the system that created the bubble nebula is BD+60 2522,
which at our time is not at the center of the nebula anymore.

In ED, this system is way off the nebula.
 
Completely off topic, but the image I found on the internet below completely blew my mind...
NASA-HS201427a-HubbleUltraDeepField2014-20140603.jpg

Taken from a tiny portion of our sky, a fraction of the size of the moon.

And I though while traveling the rift that our galaxy is mind boggling huge... I wet my pants with that image above...

And we are wondering what might be in the rift. I can't start to imagine what kind of mysteries could be in those millions of galaxies out there.
 
The six doesn't relate to the sector (6000) that the plotted line from Reorte - Riedquat does it? It would cut it down to one square on the galaxy map within the rift zone I think
 
Hi guys. Could somebody please add me to the rifters list. I'm a bit rubbish with the hole technology thing :). It would be much appreciated. And/or if any rifters don't have me as a frend, invites are most welcome. I'll get sorted with the new Base erimus has sorted out asap. Think there's an app for my phone. :)

Much respect for Acheron for this thread and the links/work put in. Can't rep u anymore. :)

Much respect for all you guys actually. I'm always lurking. The reserch you have all done is amazing. I wish I had something usefully to add. All I have is time. Hopefully randomly rambling around the back of the rift may help. :D

I don't mean to be the voice of doom but couldn't Drew's comments be taken as..
It's there to be found in game = the rift
Don't need Horizons = the rift
Who go's looking = have to wate for the player salome to head there to ferther the story....as she's "following the story" ?
I'm keeping the faith! But it's just so empty out here

Hi piy. Tell me or send me a PM with the info you want in the spreadsheet, and I'll be happy to add you in. Most important though is your Cmdr name.
 
It would be nice to have a yes/no answer to the question...

Is there in game content to be found connected to the rift live at this moment?

But we know thay wont/can't answer.
A yes would boost everyone. A no would end things till engineers. Such a shame.

This has already been answered with a yes.

Could you link me that please? It could be on another format than these forums that I don't know about.
 
Yeah I've read it all...and was on the first thread and the way it's written I feel can be taken the way I posted. It just feels well worded. :). Or its the space madness agane :)
 
Regarding the Galnet stories about the Seven Veils and improvements - It seems like the consensus understanding is that the improvements to the ship were fakes, but that's not how I read it. It seems to me that if "improvements" were done but then on inspection it was found that the ship had fake parts, the implication is that the improved parts were removed from the ship and replaced with fakes, not that the improvements never existed in the first place.

I have no idea if this makes any difference to anyone, but though it was worth noting.
 
Remember guys, Drew is an author, not a mathematician.

I believe there is too much focus on the RR line's accuracy.

"CMDRs may wish to consider the, ahem, core of the problem."

What is a neutron star if not simply the core left behind from a star? We're looking for a system, whether it contains the mystery or the mystery is simply observable from it, the only things we can jump to are systems. Systems designated by their parent star. So the core off the problem: Which star or type? Neutron. Drew is silver-tongued indeed.

Also:
" ... right on, Commander."

The end of the message said to contain the coordinates. Even says the holofac faded leaving only the text. "text" not coordinates or numbers. I've crunched this to binary, octal, base64.. Nothing. DID find a single coordinate in the rift by simply counting their place in the alphabet. Heading there now, but not confident in this guess.

Just saying, stop thinking as mathematicians and think as an author would. His answer is in how he says it more than even what he says: He's a wordsmith.

I also think this is important - I feel the improvements to the ship were a delay tactic. They were in dock waiting for something and as a cover used the ship 'upgrades' as the reason they were there. After they got what they were waiting for, likely information, they left asap to where that info lead them.
