Its been quiet lately , which is nice.
The mysterious DBX at OO, makes me skeptical on a few points, from the galnet post few details were mensioned, no visual sighting from what i assume it shows up on sensors.
We know the UA are able to mimic morse so most likely ships coms and they know how to draw us. Could be they chose a signature which would be less suspicious to get closer to scan us.
Its designation S6: 7
unusual in its format, either a bad attempt to make a fake ID on the aliens part, some AI program designation of its ships , just a couple of ideas without basis heh./
I will await a more credible theory from the group,possibly the start of some turn of events which will lead to more in the next week.
Last few days i've Been busy rallying the space mass's towards answers for the SS1 salvage investigations.
The official fed CG has completed and Independent investigation is going well, wont go all way but very successful still.
In all that salvage, not a single escape pod, now where are they all hiding?. personal effects, hydrogen fuel survived etc, although several locations had nearby landable moons.
( searching for Hasley and crew as well as barnacles and tea factories on planets anyone? )
CG's will round up Thurs night/Friday so with luck may find some developments friday afternoon, just around 5pm for tea and biscuits at galnet hour.
I'll be off to work just as things develop no doubt but look forward to doing some more Science type stuff than Haulage and Salvage, but was for a good cause.

Jmanis is the one to ask about the shadows...
He is certainly the one to ask about the shadows. I think someone found him on Z'ha'dum after all...
He keeps asking me what I want. Its super weird.
Two CGs for one purpose - two different outcomes?
Maybe thus the Federation is trying to hide some evidence, and independent researchers, on the contrary, will help to investigate the SS1 incident?
But maybe I think so because I am an Imperial, and always think that the Federation is hiding something
But seriously, why two CGs?

Story I would think.. If we get both investigations started perhaps one will be another obvious Fed cover up, and the other a chance of finding out what's really been happening to these ships.
How about the UAs are bio-engineered search drones sent out to locate the original lost Barnacle (Merope), but that Barnacle has sent out barnaclets which have grown into the others. It's a working hypothesis but doesn't explain why the UAs need to be 1Km to scan our ships but 130-150 ly from Merope.
So perhaps there is something else on Merope to find?

President Hudson assasination cover-up attempt versus Winters attempt to get to the tuth & discredit him? Who knows?
When the Thargoids arrive, what are you going to do? Blow up the whole island?Jmanis is the one to ask about the shadows...

i just read about some lore from here http://www.drewwagar.com/elitelore/
and especially the Raxxla part was...interesting.
im still surprised how much story is hidden in elite, and i wish it would be better implemented into the game...
but what if the UA has nothing to do with S6:7 or even the Barnacles?
i think that we know that there are atleast "two hidden things", one is Thargoid, one is Raxxla (and then there is propably much more...like the missing ships and all those things)
but when i thought about it, i had a question towards the goals of the Canonn:
IF you find out that the S6:7, the UA or the Barnacles have different storylines...what do you do?
Will you still research them even if they are not related to the UA?

The Canonn is after EVERY in game mystery, not just the UA or Barnacles.
It's about Science in every form.

If you had a 10 year plan for a game, why would you introduce all of the story elements at the start?
Raxxla for example has been searched for as soon as Gamma went live, people found systems that we outside of our possible jump range and assumed it must be there, others say it's a hidden system or maybe a hidden planet in a system (which have been in since the first Elite game). I for one am glad everything is not laid bare and we are not spoon fed it all, I plan on playing this game for a very long time.
So here's my thinking, FD are pushing horizons and its updates and using this story line to help. (Well played) so as said before I think the next big thing will be with these strange ships in 2.1 and the engineers!.. We are going to need engineers so we can catch up with them! I'm not sure what these ships are! I'd like it to be the start of intelligent alian life entering them game. Anyway my tip if it's worth anything, have synthesis FSD ready, if there faster then normal I'd bet my 2 slaves they can jump a fair whack as well!..
As long as it gets added there at one point in time. Some might remember the "Mirage" from Elite 2 Frontier."yea, it's there, you just have to achieve some quite demanding goals to get it"
Never was in the code, though.

It's just as I feared:
https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/56b328b59657ba0564c00374
It's just as I feared:
Generation ships with potential unknown scientific breakthroughs during their journeys, rouge AI, Dark wheel with or without Raxxla, a certain history of a 5th column (INRA - matter of perspective(?)) in any of the old games, Thargoids, Oresrians - Powerplay and it's possible influence on faction driven secret projects (ships missing/stranded or destroyed under unknown circumstances) and an overall history of FD always inventing something new for their next Elite...
Yeah, my kingdom for a solid lead.
Still think S6: 7 is just squadron 6 unit 7 and it's some military intelligence thing (my money is on Fed's) checking up on Palin's progress.
What would they do with this story if we managed to top the highest tier?
Maybe that's the real reason the static wreckage sites appear to have vanished - not them forgetting to extend them in line with the longer goal time but a deliberate means of making sure only one of the goals could complete.
Well, the official search hit the top tier & stopped yesterday, but the Independent search has another day to run. Unfortunately the two spawn sites for wreckage are no longer spawning so I can' top up my total deliveries.
Edit: I've been supporting both in roughly equal measure, on the basis that we ought to get some indication of the truth from comparing the results from both.
Edit2: I raised a bug report about the spawn issue this morning, as I think it is artifically limiting the CG & storyline. What if the sites were still spawning & we hit the top tier on that CG too?
