Free floating or convoy?
Sorry. I wasn't trying to distract.
Hey, I'm in HR 1185 trying to do a test right now, you in a PG?

Add me in game, CMDR Murp
In Mobius, but I bolted to the nearest station as I wasn't sure how long my cargo hold would last.
Where are you now? If you go to the Main Menu I can meet up with you in Mobius.
EDIT: as in wait on Main Menu while I get to where you are

The gap Ecco mentioned, would it be possible to jump through it?
Ladies, Gentlmen,
I think that easily proves one thing. Hopefully I am reading this right.
Black holes here are used as distribution systems (or destinations with high enough mass for super long jump transfers) for these "artefacts". Correct? I prefer intention over RNG.
But we do not have enough pieces of the puzzle to prove or disprove.
I think this tells us that the events in the "new lore" books are in the past (quite recent past in most cases). Soontill is no longer hidden. It has even been mentioned in GalNet in connection with Thargoids. If a hidden system is found, it can be "published".
The question is if this is just stories or if there is something in game.
So you'd say that uas in the Pleiades all come from the same black hole(s)?
How do they get to the adjacent system(s)?
I'm more inclined to think the things are there scoping out the blue stars and/or metal planets and the black hole connection is a coincidence.
Might be worth while to stick close to stellar objects anyways.

Black holes are not super massive however, for in HR 1185 the Blue star is 4 times the mass of the Black Hole companion, so why the Blackhole would be picked over the more massive star as the jump point target over super long ranges I do not know
So, to be clear, Black Holes are either distribution points or destination points for UAs...? Can we confirm this?
IE - There is a prevalence of UA within X light seconds of a black holes or specific black hole. (This statement needs defining better with data.)
Congratulations - thanks for sharing (in both ways
)No way I can get in game - but I'm guessing this is just a barren patch without stars? Well, I think a few people have Annys which can do nearly (or is it just over) 40ly - but that's about as far as we can get.
Remember, they have been spotted in the same system away from the BH, and one has been recovered from HR1172 as well - in which there is no BH.
However - there certainly seems to be a region around the BH that yields more UAs than other places - so I'd make a similar conclusion to you and quite a few other people: the BH is important somehow. As a fix for a long-range jump? Perhaps - 100% more plausible than UAs flying out of the black hole itself
Well done everyone all round - history will remember you. Ahem.
Now back to work for me...

First point there is a good one... But just consider, according to Elite lore (and one or two books I've read) it's possible to get small recovery capsules that can jump between systems - so the same could be true of these - especially if they're alien and more advanced.
And your second point - I like that, too. Also - seems that it is entirely compatible with them arriving at BHs, but implies that you might expect to find them close to the Blue stars (isn't that where the 1172 one was found?) and around said planets.
Very easy to confirm - which is the kind of idea that this place needs
Assuming the black hole is feeding on something, then it will be emitting higher levels of energy than the star? So not just mass - energy too?
Admittedly - the other behaviour we have - Morse - appears to be based on mass, so, it's a bit of a reach

- Multi-post, sorry - see above

Yes, a UA has been found close to the main star in HR 1185 (so far away from the black hole) and one has been found in HR 1172 (which doesn't have a black hole).
Ninja'd, should have refreshed.

This rules out black holes. Simple as that. Just because BHs are "fun" it doesn't mean we should focus on them. If I get the chance at my lunch break later, I will take screenshots of all planets in both of the systems and try to compare them and look for clues. (Or maybe someone is in game and cane take them for me/us?)
