Summary: A malfunctioning tourist beacon. | |
Description: This system houses Tourist Beacon 0029, which appears to have been malfunctioning for many years now. The name (or identifier) that the beacon broadcasts is "NO NAME - INVALID DESTINATION". For example, here is what greets explorers if they use the FSS: The beacon is in low orbit above the A 1 planet, and can be approached normally. It sends the following message after scanning:
It is unknown whether this message is cut short, or if it's the entire intended message. The other tourist beacons which were deployed in the same sequence have messages crediting the Commanders who suggested their destinations, but this one doesn't include any such text. Despite the "invalid destination" part of the name, this beacon does appear to be a valid destination for tourism, as it can be seen on passenger boards, and the missions can be completed normally. Unfortunately, this beacon glitch is all that is interesting about this system. There are three tiny landable planets, the kind which many tend to refer to as "potatoes", but none of them have anything remarkable on their surfaces. The reference to clear views of the Elephant's Trunk is somewhat ironic though, as the beacon is in a low enough orbit that the planet often obscures the view. Commanders will have to supercruise away to see the nebula. There is a bit more to tourism here: the nearby asteroid base in GM Cephei is a popular place to take on passengers, including ones who wish to travel back to the bubble. | |
