I have a question regarding the actual "location" a mission is taking place in. I'm not certain the current "state" of Inferno R1 or it's included campaign, so all apologies ahead of time.
The mission is "Intangible Factors" (INFC1A-13). While I'm aware this is taking place in Sol, I'm not quite sure "where" in the solar system this mission actually takes place. I'm only guessing it's somewhere off the (former/restored) Delta Serpentis/Sol node (not that I'm sure where that is either in the Sol system). Wouldn't be at all surprised if someone's documented things like that already.
Anyway, if you could point me in the right direction it'd be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'd guess the node exit point is either beyond Pluto, or between Neptune and Pluto.
As for where Intangible Factors takes place, it was the mission where you have to kill a 'traitor', then destroy the station with the SOC destroyer (Damascus, wasn't it?)? I'd say it was the Kuiper Belt.

Per the FS1 ending cutscene the node is very close to Earth.

Unless you decide it's not any more in your campaign. The node's location could have changed when reopened, or it could move by orbital mechanics, or it could move by some entirely different subspace process.

I go by the idea that nodes likely orbit/move like other stellar bodies and/or the other bodies orbit in and out of range of nodes. Some fancy pants idea that gravity wells make difference and that planetary gravity wells could have a small impact among other things. But it's all meh. It can be whatever you want/need, really.
