Basic swoop and scoop speed, at 45 to 50 seconds per system and 30LY average along heading minus random off angle bits you can cover about 2KLy/hour.

Apart from Rho cass, close by, and in the rift is HR 237 a K-type supergiant. Tried but couldn't reach it with a 36ly Asp. No Fsd boost on board.

a) Has anyone been to HR 237?

b)Has anyone found a third not random system nearby?

This thread has taken a somewhat stalking tone. Just saying...

I was also lucky enough to share a few words - having not asked permission to reproduce the conversation, I'll summarise:

- "dark forces" are at play (in line with recent arcanon galnets)
- A great threat is on it's way, we must build up our ranks (in line with Children of Raxxla PDF)
- More information will follow "in the days to come".

Nothing really new or noteworthy, but promising.
Why was she out there? Why is she in Open all of a sudden instead of Private groups? Was her journey out there and back just RP so that the "news" that is to break in the coming days can be off the back of the journey? Was it so that we could see?

Can someone point me towards the coordinates of the Heisenberg crossing? Wasn't able to find it by searching the topic..

Open is the way story characters should play. DWE was different in that all the players were encouraged to play in Group. Nothing so say that Salome didnt travel in Open and switch to Group for the Meetups, I am sure Drew would, if Salome was under his control.

You can find the full path in Dommarraa's spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...iI7YqGtPATAO3XJG82o-Iy-hQ/edit#gid=1451809702 (linked in his sig and on first page).

The first way point is MYOIDEAU RF-N C20-1

Tense times! How many boosted jumps do you think you're looking at?

It wasn't that bad, actually. Tense for me only because ... I haven't done a lot with planetary landings. I'm the only person in the galaxy, I guess, who hates driving around shooting rocks. This was my first use of jumponium.

Drew gets that a lot. ;-)

I get the feeling the galnet article has been further delayed by the hiccup with paintjobs on XB1.

Someone needs to get a tracking limpet on that ship! Would be a cool feature anyway.

Salome landed at CoR terminal. Escorted her in.

It took long days to go through this forum, 1st comment so please be gentle.

This keeps me bugging:

... I've stood on lost worlds, sterilised clean by the Thargoids and erased from humanity's maps. ...

Two questions:
1. Are the issues with the navigation computer (route planning within the Rift) a bug or is it intentional? Have someone experienced similar issues with it somewhere else in the galaxy?
2. If these worlds has been erased from the humanity's maps (incl. the map we have in our ships?) how could we found it?

I can't answer your second question, but to the first, it is a byproduct of the way the route finding algorithm works. When you are at point A and going to point B the algorithm cannot deviate very far from the direct line between A and B. When you are in an area low star density the route from A to B is often very indirect, the route finding algorithm cannot compute it, and thus you have to jump system-to-system manually.
