Awesome news! - FD renamed two Solitude Void worlds; one after CMDR Chiggy VonRictofen and one after CMDR Macedonica. The epic rescue of CMDR Macedonica has been commemorated by Universal Cartographics!

2.3 Patch notes...

• Iorant JN-S c17-0 renamed to VonRictofen's Rescue
• Iorant PD-K d8-4 renamed to Macedonica's Leap

Both have been added to EDSM too, as historical POIs.

That is awesome and surely an epic rescue to commemorate!


Suggestion for slight change in text for VonRictofen's Rescue:

Currently: "Location where the most distant deep space rescue occurred, back in November 3302."

Suggested: "Location where an epic deep space rescue occurred, back in November 3302."


Reason: This was not the most distant deep space rescue recorded. I know of at least one thoughtless CMDR who ran out of fuel at Beagle Point but was rescued by the Fuel Rats...

I approve of these changes; they make sense.

This leaves the map completely empty of exploration hazards. Instead I propose that we add all the known 'Permit Regions' in deep space. Having knowledge of these is of real interest to many deep space travellers, as they provide some of the few obstacles to clear navigation.

The regions I suggest we add are:

Regor sector
bleia1
bleia2
bleia3
bleia4
bleia5
Bovomit
Dryman
Froadik
Gamma Velorum
Hyponia
praei1
praei2
praei3
praei4
praei5
praei6
Sidgoir

Horsehead Dark Region
IC-4673 Sector
Col 70 Sector
Col 121 Sector
Col 97 Sector
M41 Sector
NGC 1647 Sector
NGC 2264 Sector
NGC 2286 Sector
NGC 3603 Sector

Some of these may combined in a single POI pin on the map, as they are close together.

Please share your thoughts on these suggested changes

Update request:

POI Name: V404 Cygni

Desc update: "V404 Cygni was identified in the 20th century as a so-called microquasar. The system is a binary consisting of a black hole with a 153 solar masses, and a low-mass K0 companion star. The companion star has entered a late-life phase of burning hydrogen in a shell around a degenerate helium core. This is unusual for a star of such low mass, and the discrepancy may be due to the loss of mass to the black hole.

Travelers to this system should immediately set throttles to zero after entering hyperspace! The orbit of the black hole brings it extremely close to the entry point to this system, less than 0.1 light-seconds."

POI Update:

POI Name: V1357 Cygni
GalMap Ref: V1357 Cygni

Desc: "V1357 Cygni, also known as Cygnus (or Cygni) X-1, is a binary system of a black hole and a blue giant. It was discovered in 1964 during pre-interstellar spaceflight due to the very high levels of x-rays produced by mass from the blue giant falling into the black hole. This was the first such source of powerful x-rays which was widely accepted to be a black hole, and the source of a famous wager between noted 20th century scientists Kip Thorne and Stephen Hawking.

A single high-metal planet can also be found orbiting the two bodies, likely captured."

POI Update:

POI: V1487 Aquilae

Description: V1487 Aquilae (aka GRS 1915+105) is an X-ray binary star system which features a K III giant star of some 24 solar radii and a black hole of 14 solar masses orbiting at some 250 light seconds. It is also an active microquasar with jets being emitted at superluminal velocities. It was discovered in the late 20th century and has been an object of intense study ever since.

POI Update:

POI Name: QZ Vulpeculae
GalMap Ref: QZ Vulpeculae

Desc update: "A Japanese space telescope, Ginga, discovered this system in April 1988 when the system produced a massive outburst of X-rays, known as an X-ray nova. For a few days, the system produced roughly one million times more energy than in the days before the outburst. The bursts are caused by matter in-falling from Class K star QZ Vulpeculae onto the black hole GS 2000+25.

Numerous smaller bodies can also be found orbiting the pair, including 6 dwarf stars and a host of small rock bodies. A terrestrial body with ammonia-based life can be found just 54 light-seconds from the black hole. It is unclear how life has managed to form in the presence of the powerful x-ray bursts produced by the black hole."

Hi Chronverge,

These are interesting, but I'm not sure if they're unique enough to qualify as Point of Interest. In particular you have three instances of "A terraformable water world moon", which would indicate it's not exceptionally unique.

Thanks for the reply and I see your point. Figured I'd post all three in case one of those galactic regions needs a POI to fill in and I've not heard or seen any reports of this type of moons from other CMDR's yet.

With the other systems I concidered the combination of ELW with ammonia worlds for eventual seed systems on other species or even Thargoids. [alien]

New POI:

POI Name: PSR J1901+0716
POI Type: Pulsar
GalMap Ref: PSR J1901+0716

Desc: "This pulsar was the subject of research in the early 21st century for the unusual changes in the length of the pulses generated by the fast-rotating neutron star. The pulse length of 644 milliseconds decreases for 'tens of pulses' and then increases again. The cause for this behavior is unknown. A recent survey found many companion bodies ranging from class G stars down to tiny moons."
