Stacked warp accelerator rings...

[Fasalrod]

In one the system at -2 X 7, there's two warp accelerator rings. The first one crashes my ship into the second, destroying my ship. The second one seems to shoot my for maybe 5 sectors into empty space. I've continued on so at -10 X 45 and still going, haven't seen any systems along the way. Am I missing something?

Presumably the wreck at the top of -1 X 4 is the birds' admiral, so I would think this is the path to their homeworld. Or is it still in development?

You have to align them
push against it with your ship

Lining these bad boys up is H A R D M O D E

Weird I didn't have trouble in any playthrough, just nudge it, travel back along its path if you line up your good, if not go nudge some more

or fly manually in the direction (diagonally up-left) the first one is aiming at for 3-5 minutes and you arrive at the starsystem anyway :)

By aligning the rings and going thru you get 150 research which is huge

Yeah, figured it out. What's odd now is with enough engine/turbo (doesn't take much really) I can turbo from system to system faster in game time (but slower in real life) than using the nexus points.

Where's the system located that you'd get to by aligning the rings? Or is there none and you just get research for it?

A step-by-step walkthrough for 10.3 version:
- In the system -2.21 x -7.30 there are two rings and a planet (-2.30 x -7.32) from where they can be activated.
- They need to be aligned in a certain way, so when you enter the one at -2.34 x 7.31 you go through the other one at -2.49 x 7.44.
- After successfully using the rings, your starhip will be launched to a distance of 4 sectors, the location of a nearby star system will be revealed (exact location is at -6.32 x 10.64)
- help the aliens on the planet by sending down crew members and come back about 2 weeks (traveling by warp nexuses makes it easier to pass time, not by nexus gateway)
- return to Kite Station and speak with the highlighted NPC, then use the warp nexus back and forth to let enough time pass. If the same NPC has nothing to say, it will require more time. When it is ready, speaking with him will finish this event chain. It will unlock the
