Ngobe is a good system. Has an outpost as well, if you're flying a medium or small craft.

Peter Stark's stream just went dark. Hope the UA in the black hole didn't blow up his computer. ;)

Not sure what happened with the stream -- Unknown Factor got it heavily.

--- I have NVIDIA ShadowPlay (Gamestream is cool but not that) just for little less over a week (And I have first free days now after plenty of work) so there was a learning curve.

Nonetheless -- nothing happened.

I'm having a sneaky watch from work too - exciting and interesting stuff although I'm worried for him now!
Edit: glad you're ok Peter :)

Operation Black Artefact

Status: complete

Result: no major breakthroughs


Well it was worth a try. Maybe you can find something in the audio. Not very high quality, lots of background noise, but it's something :p

Anyways, I have done my duty for science, now I will rest.

Can you be more specific about what was done? Did the UA cross the exclusion zone? And was it lost? By degradation as normal?

A well deserved rest. Good work, enjoyed watching sneakily at work. Shame about the result.

Murp was saying that he is going to sleep so I will add up details.

UA got approx 380m into Exclusion zone and fully stopped. We let it to wither until 50% (it degraded with normal speed) then Murp fired collector drone and that was it.

Sound was similar, only the middle part was a bit mor high pitched. Purrs same, Whale Noise the same, Tickling in between Purrs and Whales was high pitched and faster. But that might have been noise of ours ships grinding the borders of exclusion zone.

Has this ever happen to anyone, search Ngobe leads to a blank spot on the galaxy map

Just finished the Economy route from Azaleach to Saga. 8 Commanders 1 UA carrier 24 jumps. We did it just like the GalNet said the pres did it. We even had the UA carrier jump and had the wing mates slave the drives just like the Galnet eye witness report.

Only thing we noticed.... is at the 71 ish ly mark there is a bubble of space with no stars.... like both wings said something during the journey and it may be of interest. look at Hip 32673. But it can only truly be appreciated when doing the actual route.



I am no going to take our UA and re-do the route with my UA-conda looking in all the stations and flying by each Star, planet, moon, belt... looking for debris, unusual signal sources, NPCs, noise. The big group was to try and replicate the Pres trip.

EDIT: Just remembered ..... I as the UA carrier in my conda recieved a ton of static when spooling my hyper-drive that over powered some of the other sounds in my cockpit. This happened several times and is the MAIN reason I am re running the route. To see if the static which was like nothing I had ever heard returns on those system jumps.

Although the idea of a piece of parchment/paper might be a bit anachronistic ... it says somewhere near the Azaleach Saga route ...' I have been trying for weeke to get this misjump to work....'

Maybe with an UA onboard, you get to jump someplace if you point it just at the right place - which may be appear to be empty

Haven't got an UA shelved , but might be worth checking out... revving up h-drive while pointing at various directions - maybe the chatter of the UA will get stronger/weaker.. like a sort of locator

Pretty new here, so this might already have been tried millions of times, but has anyone tried entering specific permit systems that aren't tied to rank with a UA?

I don't know guys how have you been playing launching things into a Black Hole... but yesterday I found the weirdest WSS I've ever found just at a Black Hole outside inhabittd space.

20 Cannisters of various cargo abbandoned there.

It was just 640Km. away of HR6460 C.

I had no weapons no cargo so I couldn't cleanup. I found there some painite, food cartidges, algae, basic meds and other basic things, but I'm not sure if I scanned all of them.

This was like 10 hours ago, so it was not you ... but was weird enough, wasn't it?

Yeah, it's apparently normal, but you're not alone getting surprised by it. Here. Music part is not planned but rather funny.
(the "game sounds only" setting in shadowplay tricked me to think it will record only the game sounds ;))

^^ I'd actually prefer if people looking for UAs would go to different systems. There are several which look interesting around the Pleiades. Some of them (the above mentioned) yielded *SS a lot more frequent then others. (But in regards to my statistics comment, this could simply be my personal impression.)

If we can confirm more systems that spawn the UA, we could better analyse the WHY. If that's a thing after all ...

was flying around Pleiades last night mainly visiting non B-type stars, only saw 2 USS in several hours until I ended up in Maia lots of SS pop up there! will keep hunting tonight :)
edit: got a full military convoy with 2 T-9s in Maia last night, best I got in HR 1185 was 2 condas + 1 t-9 carrying antiques

wouldnt it be sad if, at the end of all this, they turned out to be Nav Beacons? Sure- alien nav beacons, but basically the exact same thing we have close to all of our stars (that beep the system name in morse code as well).

I wonder if somewhere out there They are buzzing around a Nav Beacon of ours- scooping it up, trying this, trying that- closely examining the various doodads around its equator... applying old alien world technologies and folklore to it... trying to glean some "deeper meaning".

but who knows? nerdgasming out may be a common galactic phenomenon- regardless of the species. :)

That would be totally unfair if it turns out that aliens have Nav beacons around secondary stars/BHs. Think of all the super cruising it saves them.

Went from convoy hunting in Timocani to HR 1185 last night, had to log off at 2am because of work today, CMDR currently sleeping halfway between main star and the BH. Will resume the hunt later today.
The few WSS, USS and SSS I dropped into were either misc cargo free floating, or a wing of 4 clean ships that gave me a cargo scan as I left, or ship debris.

New here, but I have two questions: have we tried repeating the honking noise back at them? I see from the wiki we'be tried pinging it with an ADS, but not multiple scanners going off in quick succession on a single ship to better refleck the honking.

Also, do we have both a list of systems they've been discovered in plus numbers discovered in those systems? The wiki only has the former.

AS an aside.

If you're in Epsilon Indi and go to the local galaxy map you see a "system" appear right next door that can't be selected.

If you're not in Epsilon Indi it never seems to appear.

Pretty sure it's just a side-effect of the way the galaxy map renders distant stars in the local system.

(It happens with or without a UA)

Tested with and without a UA there's no difference.

It is, if you zoom out the adjacent non-selectable stars merge in with your local system.
