also, one more thing I noticed that called my attention, hip 19073 has a station and population but doesn't have a nav beacon, so I had to go there and scan to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

ok so, if you go to the big crater on merope, point 180 straight up, fly out a few hundred LY, then target the system right in front of you, you come to a system with an ammonia world too. There was nothing there yesterday though, no Probes. So I'm calling "right, it's Gamescom, we'd better activate the probes" shenanigans lmao

(maybe its too close or too far away. maybe 30ly is the sweet spot though)

I know where NOT to look for unknown probes: Anywhere heavily frequented by players. Someone would have tripped over one by now. Since hiding them in some random bit of space would be futile, I'm going to head off to some of the nebulae on the other side of Barnard's Loop - seagull and jellyfish etc and see what turns up. Maybe stop at the loop on the way back.

I still think the probes are designed by humans, but probably not intended to communicate with humans. Maybe our lost relatives are still reaching outwards, rather than looking back inwards towards to bubble?

You do realize that free-floaters have already been found?

mm.. don't planets rotate? so, it might depend on the time but I assume at some point they will be pointing to a water based world system too..

But he is right, it is the same logic I followed, avoid Merope because is something was there it would have been found already. I'm looking for other systems to check and more ammonia worlds too, now we still have to find if this is a shell or not.

Actually, we don't even know if they will spawn in the system or just around the planet, but I guess we will find out soon too considering the amount of people moving there now.

True. If the probes are confined to Ammonia worlds it'd be hard for it to be a shell though. It'll be interesting to see what, if any, kind of pattern they follow.

Haven't found one yet, but here's the details of the planet if anyone is interested.

EDIT: Crud, nevermind, apparently this forum won't let me post pics.

You DO need to have it targeted. You DO need to have your sensors on. And you DO need to be between it and Merope.

Also, for everyone.. Here is the entire transmission. 5:30 of it. It repeats after this.

Thanks Mykl! I'm looking at the transmission now. If you or someone else gets a chance can you upload another honk recording just to see if there's anything else in the frequency spectrum.

Im thinking more as the filling inside the other shell that is 0-135LY from merope and within a certain amount of ls from any ammonia terristrial wrold it would seem, but it does need further investigation

So the next big shoe to drop is if someone can find one outside that system around another Ammonia world.

Yet another confirmation of FFUP. Spotted in a USS Anomaly Threat 2 - 23.2Mm from the same planet. Also confirm the secondary transmission if you line up between the probe and Merope. Sadly I can't currently record anything. Tis exciting tho!
