I actually started grinding for the Alioth permit tonite. But because I want to sell Soontill Relics there, not UAs. I still think using a UA to search for a "hidden world" or dark world is the way to go, but where and how am still not sure. I think selling should be a last resort, will be very disappointed if that is the mechanism for the next step. Although the UA description does sort of hint at that.

after the first wave of UA's way back when, I had read something in the lore about Alioth having a hidden station in the belt cluster there (keep in mind, I don't know any of the lore other than what's been posted), which made me go and grind for my Alioth permit to see if I could find anything. Didn't find anything when I searched, but I also didn't have a UA in my hold. Could be worth a look to anyone with a UA?

Edit: I wonder if selling one at Ngurii (assuming BM) might lead to something based on the description? That is where a specialized collectors buy their purported alien artifacts after all, like the Relics.

Is it? Well Ngurii is interesting indeed. I wrote that 'cause I remembered the Nvidia Titan mystery game which involved selling it in a specific station, a straightforward way to tell FD that we completed something.

Before I continue on this 70+ jump journey, can anyone in HR 1185 tell me if there are any scoopable stars around? I would really like to not get stuck out there in the black.

In your Gal Map, go to the "View" tab, select the "Map" button at the top, select "Star Class" from the first dropdown & uncheck everything that isn't KGB FOAM class. You map will only show scoopable stars.

What's the deal with the "hidden world" can anyone point me or knows?

Raxxla is supposedly a hidden world & vaguely confirmed by Michael Brookes to be in-game (from his novel thread - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=50320&p=2566545&viewfull=1#post2566545). Beyond that, when the Design Decision Forum was a thing, the topic of Dark Worlds/Systems was discussed (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4809&page=15&p=76083#post76083). And one of the official E: D novels featured Soontill as a dark system.

Oh ok dark system then. I was beginning to wonder if the gas giant orbiting the BH in HR 1185 was your "hidden world" it's completely black because of little to no ambient lighting. :)

And just to confuse matters, the system name Soontill was hidden under in the book, Kumbaya, is also on the Galaxy Map.

That is actually another possible definition - unpopulated systems with dying stars/black holes as main star.

I think my steps are sound:

1) Find the UA
2) record it as long as possible, see if something drops/new audio appears.
3) Invite people to the partaaay.
4) Make it back to Alioth (most difficult part, no AFM unit) and sell it to the Alliance. (They've got a Thargoid ship goddammit!)
Click to expand...

I'm still about and have a AFMU :) I could hold onto it whilst you change ship and come back to collect it
I'm currently exploring systems around pleiades nebula nothing interesting to report yet only a couple of USS so far

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. :D I'll also lend it to Glyn, he wanted to record it a bit I think. Oh and as I'm a very clever human being, I forgot that step 4 will be very difficult to achieve: I still need the permit to Alioth. I'm just a friend. : (

Exploring as well, B stars in particular, two SSS so far (FdL), the rest: WSS or USS...

Wouldn't know what to do with it but I can help you get it back, also I have Alioth Permit :D

Have there been any other objects found or signal source names other than Voyager 1 in Voyager - I think they showed up as quote ancient space probes. Are there any wrecks derelict ships or things other than rocks stars and stations and nav bacons?

Maybe the Voyager probes being in Sol was supposed to give us an idea of what to look for in other systems. Maybe a good habit will be to make outward spirals from important systems.

Ok, I'm back in. Thank you to the Commanders' who pointed me to the Gamescom Q&A.

Has anyone taken the UA to the system where the President was last seen, before his ship "mis-jumped'?

Do you know which system that is? Because I don't think it was ever disclosed though people have tried to follow the route taken.

Original trailer for Elite dangerous.... Look at the wrecks... Probably just concept stuff. But it may behoove us to research every official video ed has put out
