......

I hope you read this and understand how many people want to solve this mystery and then you start helping us

Please CMDRs, Horizons came out two days ago, and you're already asking for help?
Surely it will come, but not NOW!
Do your homeworks, go around flying'n landing. Enjoy your time. Do other things.
I'm on the UA since post one, but I'm enjoying the game in all its other things: PvP just one of them.
Don't stick to it.

The mods will come in soon enough and strip a whole bunch of posts out of this thread in a second, no doubt - but before they do...

Last thing I'll say on this subject - it's not false outrage.

More and more new people coming into this now looking for good natured, light hearted cooperative banter, and they come along to find people kicking sand in everyone's eyes because of their outrage at an innocent mistake that was owned up to by the person in question... Honestly, how childish.

I have an aversion to irrational, ignorant cynicism, and while I could choose to add people to my ignore list, instead I choose to express my opinion to the contrary.

Personally insulting the development team, even via smart-alec '[redacted]' elements is out of order, and I will be vocal in dissociating myself from it, because I fundamentally disagree with it.

Equally, further insults at the rest of us (not from you, no) for 'sticking with FD' will not be taken by all in the off-hand way it's meant. Some will be personally offended - and no one person has the right to go around making others feel bad just because they're annoyed.

I believe I am in the majority in feeling this way. If not, then I'm sure people will say so.

Yeah - feel the rage; feel frustrated or whatever, but this forum is not a sounding board for everyone's inner dialogue. Sometimes it's best for everyone else if you just take a step back and keep it to yourself.

Out of Reputation for you, consider yourself backed in this opinion. ;)
 
Mmm, don't remember anyone trying to plot the selling price against station to see if there's a pattern. Presumably since most sales were on the BM we don't have the data, but could be an interesting experiment.

I've done a brief bit of work on this. There doesn't appear to be a relationship between distance from Merope and price.

nice! any with 1.2-1.3g?

Not sure sorry, I haven't scanned any of them.

That's funny - I've been getting rep from mods. Strange that. My last word on the subject as I'm gone (from the UA to start with). Enjoy your bugs. Please delete me from the Canonn as well. And think about taking your own (unwanted) advice.

Wow, what the Thargoids is going on here. Do people really think MB deliberately left us chasing ghosts?

For me the T-ship thing was never a thing I took seriously. It's people who want to see a conspiracy EVERYWHERE who wll be led to all kinds of crazy conclusions. I think a strategic use of a heat sink launcher should be advised.


Btw.: I found rocks on several Merope moons... Thargoids must be rock people, right!? ;)
 
I'm sorry for asking an off-topic question, but I saw it was mentioned...


Has anyone found a reliable way to locate the Voyager probes?
 
I wish i could be helping you guys and girls right now but i have had a bit of a mishap.The night before horizons went live i took my python close to merope and before that i spent a few nights earning my peregrina permit.I had been testing a lot in the beta and had been clearing my save to look at the new planetside starting points.Well i must have loaded the real game and cleared my save for realsies.I ticketed it right away and on the afternoon of the horizons release i had a reply that my commander had been brought back to life i was so relieved.Until i got home and realised that something had gone wrong.The bottom line is that i have nothing i am a new starter.I have written back to support and have had 3 agonising days of nothing.I am unwilling to play right now because i don't know if my info can be restored and i don't want to jeopardise that.I am so angry at myself i could not have done it at a worse time.Support are probably snowed under more than they have ever been and it seems to be the most exciting time for science and biscuits also.I sit and wait....

Wow, I'm really sorry to read this man. I'd be gutted if this happened.... I hope CS will understand your mistake and help you out!

Who said I'm not having fun ?! I could drive the srv on a planet forever and yet have fun ! Like I said I drove 500 km on the srv already last night me and kicks and flint were cruising on merope 1 A together to enjoy our time but come on let's face it , we lost silent pact ! He was one of our experienced scientists , most people think he's being an old pessimistic guy but let me clarify he's been into elite games since 1984 which is the time when original elite came out so yea he's got a lot of experience in elite franchise
thing is I for one wanna see the thargoids in the game and I know all of you guys including David braben himself ( �� ) would wanna see them again so we would hesitate each time we wanna press the j button
but the way the UA thread is going I'm starting to lose hope sort of : I keep thinking I'm not so smart or I'm not helping the group or something like that
so don't get me wrong I'm not saying I gave up or I don't think horizons is not fun I'm just saying come on frontier ! Give us some clues !!! We've got a mystery to solve ! It's called the unknown artefact !

It's tempting to ask for clues - but the reason this thread made it to #4 is because of the vast number of commanders coming here, chipping in (and, on occasion, out) and contributing to the greater whole.

By plugging away, keeping our cool, and trying our best to enjoy the experience: that's how we'll move forward.

Reading the non-salty comments it's clear that lots of CMDRs are now also pursuing lots of avenues, and this is great - don't worry, we'll get there. We always have.

The thing with this sort of thing is that there are two possibilities, 1) We haven't found anything significant in game yet and 2) There isn't anything in game to find yet. Both seem equally plausible but I've been hunting Thargoids since 1984, I'm far to invested to give up now :D

Yeah this is terrible news - condolences, and I also hope they can help you out. Perhaps pull your last commander data from the beta? It would be 2 weeks or more old, but certainly better than nothing.
 
Well I'm just going to do what some others are doing, get hung up on a small detail that's got no bearing on the quality of my life, and ragequit. Insulting other people at the same time.

Oh wait, no I'm not.

Your anger and feelings of betrayal are your own problems - and right now you're tarring me and every other person here with your brush.

Please take a moment to calm down, and preferably do it where I can't watch you.

Edit - looks like this fizzled out a page back anyway. Ah well, my distaste at the anger is palpable, so I'm leaving this here.


This a thousand times over. Not only a small detail in life, but also a small part of what's on offer just in the game (even if it is the most intiguing at the moment). I think the only frustration I really have is that we can't really be 100% certain whether or not there was anything prior to 1.5/2.0 that we did not discover regarding the object.

anyone looked at the califonia nebula

I have, but not extensively. Nothing out of the ordinary to report. So many things to try, so much real life Christmas stuff getting in the way. Not to mention I'm off to see Force Awakens tomorrow, I really can't believe I'm both excited about it and disappointed I have less time to explore the Horizons :D

I have the system data. There are 3 landable bodies.

And I didn't find anything on the first one (not in game to check and can't remember the exact gravity, but I think it was a HMC with low g, the other 2 look rocky and are ~60kls out). Didn't check the two orbitting the second star, I wanted to move on.
