Through the Formidine Rift
26 Oct 2019Pisodeuorrior
I've almost crossed the Formidine Rift, and it took forever.It's a vast, vast sector of the Outer Arm, and on top of that I was also looking for materials, so I wasn't as fast as I could be. I could now have enough of resources for almost 200 FSD boosts, if it weren't for a disturbing lack of Arsenic.
I'll have to land again and gather some before I start thinking of crossing the Vacuus.
Anyway, at least the few times I stopped by to do some prospecting I managed not to crash.
I am now almost at the border of the Formidine Rift, right when the stars start being sparse.
As opposed to the other arms I've explored (hey, with this one it's ALL of them), this one fades to nothing almost abruptly.
There's no gradient, no feeling of "there are slightly fewer stars here". It just disappears, leaving a thin layer of bodies you can jump to, but just barely.
It's 14000 light years of this now, until I reach Amundsen's Star.
