Not so much to draw a line, but only one system is on the Achenar side of Riedquat, of that the Old Worlds cluster of systems. Heheng isn't one of them iirc, but it's immediately next to Riedquat.

After re-reading the transcript of Salomés address to CoR at Beagle Point, I'm kind of wondering if the "core of the problem" clue was simply trying to tell us there would be something happening in the core worlds soon, so we should keep our eye on it for more information to be revealed. Exactly how I'm unsure, as one would presume a GalNet article is readable wherever you are in the galaxy.
What could the 'shadowy forces' represent? And why would any of us need to be physically present in the 'core worlds' to gain further information? (If that was the case...)

I think you might very well be right about that. However, I expect the thing that will be happening / revealed in the core worlds (my guess is perhaps a CG, revealing another hint) will take place shortly before 2.1/1.6 going live. That'll at least give us some time to keep fooling around in the Rift.
oh my, that sounds really bad

I'm there now. Checked the stations, found no relevant articles, so now I'm looking for something off the plane of the system.
I think the 48-49 plane on the y-axis, has been considered important. Heheng is way off the plane. Additionally I noticed the RR-plane is close to the dark dust layer in the galaxy. The dark systems, the old lady mentions, could (or could not
) refer to the dark dust layer and systems within.

I recall Drew saying somewhere that dark systems referred to here were a planned feature that got cut. Basically they would be systems that did not show up on the galaxy map, but that you could scan for.
Just a heads up:

Ah, I had understood the unmapped systems could be a separate thing from the dark systems instead of synonym.

Thanks for putting that up!
Will go to my bucket list even if it'd be just peculiarity.

Anyone on the way toward or back from the Rift and following the R/R line:
Be aware of the following system: NGC 663 Sector RJ-Q d5-76
Located on the Reorte Side of Heart & Soul near -4,880 / -10 / -3,820
Neutron Star. First discovered by CMDR Cleanoff.
Just another high-value target to sell data on once you're back in the bubble.

I just took off from Shinrarta, heading for the Bridge in a 40.5 / 41.1 ly Anaconda to scan a subsector or two. With a few hours per day, it will take a while to get there.
Commented myself into Dommaarra's sheet (a small mustard coloured triangle in the upper right corner of one of the cells on the DRYEAE AEB SO-Z row), hope that was the right way to do it.

This is how they're described in the book itself: "Dark systems were well named; far away from the glow of a sun, waypoints between the inhabited worlds, with maybe a frozen asteroid or dwarf planet to be used as a convenient marker, otherwise lost forever in the vastness of the cosmos."
EDIT: Well took me a moment to realize that sounds in any case the same unimplemented feature. Sorry.

https://docs.google.com/... I'ts also one of the links (Pilot Roster) within Formidine Mystery google doc on the first post.
Given the some of the references to Oolite, I started poking around in Oolite stories and lore. It appears there was a "Great Rift" in galaxy sector 7 that players could cross that became something of legend.
I know Oolite isn't cannon, but does anyone think that the Formadine Rift could tie back to that Great Rift conceptually? Perhaps we can learn something from the ways the Great Rift was crossed, or from what was on the other side.

I'm relying just on wiki, but it seems like it is a sector of inhabited space. So it should be well within the bubble nowadays. http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Sector7/Index#The_Vector_Maps Probably nothing more than other inhabited systems behind, at least by the map: http://www.crimsonforge.co.uk/cloister/OOmap_G7.pdf Pilots probably needed to just go around it most of the time. Perhaps some experienced vets can tell more though? And maybe they know if it was crossed or not and how.

It was inhabited. There is the comment from John Harper about crossing the Formidine Rift and standing on lost worlds sterilized by the Thargoids and erased from humanity's maps. It makes me wonder if there are destroyed planets to find beyond the Formidine Rift.
To cross the Great Rift it appears that Oolite pilots did something called "misjumping", which involved following a second ship into witchspace. I doubt this is the path in Elite: Dangerous, since it would require the game to have an undiscovered mechanic.
But Drew knew about all of this since he was active in Oolite, so it is possible that these ideas influenced him as he wrote the story.
