There was one, it lasted for a only a few days (less than a week). The flavour text asked for scans within 200 LY but, as with any other exploration CG, it just required discovery scans of any system anywhere. It didn't reach the top tier and was highly unlikely ever to do so.

Anyone every notice this?:
A straight line of M class stars straight through NGC 1333, below the california nebula. Going to check it out later.

Bug or, as I've done occasionally, premature dropping from SC when you aren't sufficiently aligned...

It's an artefact (*) of the stellar catalogues used by FDev as a result of a detailed scan of a small region of space where the direction of the observed stars is known to be accurate but the distance is less so.
* - a known artefact, not an unknown one!
Sounds almost painfull
What? Like its wearing a high vis jacket?
if so it wouldn't be there long. It'd have to nip off to get a cuppa and a bacon roll.Wow that's quite unusual. Very interesting..

Actually - 200ly was the minimum distance. Text was something like 'within at least 200ly'. They could have just said 'more than 200ly' but they chose to word it clunkily. Like, Iron Giant clunky.
That's odd - probably a bug though.
Okai, this needs a question / repeat because I see no other reference to whether this quest - and the direction it's sending us is related to the Pleiades.
Someone quickly debunk this info for me, otherwise I'll go nuts;

Greetings Commanders,
You may have noticed us poking about. Making a few comments here or a few comments there. Maybe you saw one of our agents on the Buckyball Sag A* list. In either case, we come before you with a quandary that may hold the key to saving the universe as we know it from unknown dangers.
Regarding the mystery of the Formidine Rift, Rebecca Tyley and Senator Kahina Tiajani Loren, the agents of the Dark Wheel have made a fair amount of progress thus far on this particular mystery, but we currently lack the manpower to efficiently map out the region believed to be the Formidine Rift. It is anticipated (as was eluded to in the Elite: Reclamation archive) that Senator Kahina Tiajani Loren will be voyaging to discover precisely what it was that was "worse than the Thargoids" out on the rift. So, we are asking for your help.
The Dark Wheel is declassifying the following information in the interests of enlisting the help of the Pilot's Federation Commanders to further the revelation of the Formidine Rift's true nature and to reveal any threats it poses to our universe. It is believed that the Federation, Empire and maybe even the Alliance (as well as the now dissolved Galcop) have been trying very hard to keep this information from the general public. It is uncertain at this time whether or not the Formidine Rift mystery and the Unkown Artefact mystery are linked.
Here is the believed location of the Formidine Rift as our Chief of Astrometrics highlighted in the below picture he discovered.
Edit to avoid confusion: Collaboration is important (although not the key), and we trust that this information will not be used for malicious intent. Right on, Commanders! Fly safe, fly dangerous and remember...

So that's what I thought, but they're all 2mass stars and the 2mass survey was an all sky survey, which I assume means it's a uniform sweep of the sky...
Which this website seems to confirm:
To achieve these goals, 2MASS has uniformly scanned the entire sky in three near-infrared bands to detect and characterize point sources brighter than about 1 mJy in each band, with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 10, using a pixel size of 2.0". This has achieved an 80,000-fold improvement in sensitivity relative to earlier surveys

How many CMDRs around ready to hit 1185? Or already there?
Yep steaming there now will be about an hour.
Probably. Have to wait for the next one.
I couldn't remember the exact text but "within at least 200 LY" means within a 200 or larger LY radius, not more than 200 LY. But it was all totally meaningless anyway and their writers do give the impression of knowing English as a second language

I am in HR 1185 now, and have seen CMDR Delmonte and CMDR Macros Black in their Condas. (In Mobius)
Feel underdressed in my Asp...

Here. .. with 2 others.. but only for another half hour or so...
Isn't that just some random dude posting fan fiction. Having a bit fun.
Or it was solved, and bugged, so now we need an update to actually make the solution tried long ago work?
The person who uses the forum "The Dark Wheel" account has no relation to FDev, it's just someone who has rather arrogantly appropriated the name and should probably have been banned by FDev rather than allow them to confuse people like this. That map is a very good example of this as it was created by Erimus and has been used (as far as I know) without permission. The code text is just a request for people to contact him via Facebook.
