ENDED - The Hunt for Halsey (short duration exploration)

Yes we all know the reasons why Halsey disappeared. (She's incompatible with Power Play.) Nevertheless, if you're jaded with bounty hunting and conflict zones, or had it with hauling, why not try a quick voyage into the black to perk you up?

BE ADVISED: THIS GOAL IS VERY SHORT DURATION (less than 2 days)

Galnet, 27 MAY 3301 wrote:It has been almost 48 hours since the disappearance of Starship One. Early reports indicated that the ship was lost with all hands, and in this instance GalNet is pleased to announce that the early reports were mistaken. Three ships from Starship One’s Guardian Wing made contact with Navy HQ shortly after the initial disappearance. Unfortunately, they were not able to shed any light on the ultimate fate of Starship One.

Despite thousands of Federal scouts combing the sectors along Starship One's secured route, designated Spaceflight One, no trace of the missing ship has been found.

Specialist teams from Core Dynamics and the Sirius Corporation are currently attempting to analyse the wake and uplink data captured by the President’s Guardian Wing escorts in the moments before all four ships jumped. Theories involve either a rare misjump or some sort of catastrophic drive failure. Unfortunately, results so far are inconclusive as to what may have happened to President Halsey and her team.

One member of the crew of one of the President’s Guardian Wing, who wished to remain nameless, spoke exclusively to GalNet about the last moments before the President’s disappearance.

“I’ve never seen anything like it. One minute everything was fine. Pre-jump checks? Normal. Engine power? Normal. Our drives were slaved to Starship One, as is normal. The entry to hyperspace seemed normal at first, but then there was a terrible shock wave and our ship started tumbling. We exited hyperspace uncontrolled and in deep space – something I’ve never seen before. Our ship had taken damage. We couldn’t reach Starship One via comms, but managed to make contact with the other two members of the Guardian Wing. We first searched the deep space around our positions, then jumped to the destination point rendezvous as quickly as we could. Nothing. Not even wreckage. ”

The Federal Navy are requesting that any pilots interested in helping to search along the Starflight One route should sign up for active duty as a member of the search and rescue team aboard Leoniceno Orbital in Azaleach.

Be aware: Leoniceno Orbital is 19,020 light seconds out. :P

With 12 hours left to run, we've passed tier 3 and are about 30% of the way to the concluding tier 4 level.

At this time the boundary between top 40% and top 15% is somewhere between 116 and 142 reports (!).

Opening post updated.

Just a thought - would it be beneficial if a Mobius member provided a Wing Beacon at Leoniceno Orbital? I can't do it at the moment as I am just about to take the dogs out for a walk! :D

Finished by time expiring, not by final tier achievement.
Opening post and title updated.

(At least I held on to my 15%. :) )

i managed to scan 116 systems while shuttling between CGs and my home base, which gave me a spot in the top 40%.

reward money for doing what i usually did anyway = win.

I ended up with 119, and had hoped that would get me into the top 15% if only because of the long distance between the nav beacon and the station. I'll just have to be happy with top 40% and 1M CR. :D
