Sorry guys i just couldnt let it pass me it popped up just as i jumped in :-(

No harm done, If people didn't investigate stuff like this its doubtful anyone woulda found the probes in the convoys or even in the USS in orbit of planets, hell even found the barnacles at all however long ago that was.
 
Yeah true :p i will however check back there after gamescon if nothings found just incase this known bug is being used. Like it has 3 rings and each one has two belts each

The signal source is there even when you drop somewhere wth xD
 
'Enough radiation to turn you green' I feel so dumb not getting the Hulk reference till now ^_^ so what astronomical objects do gamma rays come from? Do black holes have gamma radiation or are they x-rays?

Edit: Seems like pulsars are a prime candidate do we have any in elite?

Crab pulsar errrr kinda
 
ugh base 9, aka you almost get the beneifts of base 8 but missed it by that much...

NOPE, if You read a few pages further "....What I originally deciphered and believed to be a base 9 number system wasn’t what it first appeared to be. They use a three-dimensional digit, rather than a single number as we do. As such, their basic arithmetic operates more like matrix computation than the linear number system we use." http://www.taucetimission.com/2016/02/22022333-arrival.html


edit: few pages further "...They describe objects or events as collections of their constituent parts – as an assembly of waves. There is a hierarchy in a similar way that we understand matter, but the levels of strata guide the components in the lower levels. And this is how they solve the values for their sideways time! The structure goes all the way up to the universe as a whole. Our universe is following a particular path through sideways time and this guides all the components."

Probably that "starts on 28th" thing is similar. Another treasure hunt, this time alien/probe related (cos who can resist, right?). I mean, the probes are communicating in spectrograms and binary/morse, why would they send a message in fully legible English all of a sudden?
 
problem is, most/all of the video from Gamescom is from 2.2. Which means there *could* be something there, or there might only be something there after 2.2 goes live. I wouldn't go off on long journeys based on leaked screenshots of alpha patches just yet :)
 
Whilst I suspect UPs will be limited to the Pleiades, I thought I might at least share those I know of. After checking my logs, these are all the Ammonia worlds I have actually made a note of in ED Discovery (I'm sure I've found more than this, but I my notes must not be as comprehensive as I'd imagined):

awesome list! thanks, can't rep more
 
Still uninspired by the process. FD haven't learned from the barnacle fiasco.
If you are in the right place, whatever is there has to spawn.
Waiting for a good dice roll isn't gameplay.

Can't argue with that, however now that we've actually found the suckers we have to work with what we've got.
 
Of the 3 planets I tried yesterday (which are all confirmed to have probes) I got nothing in 2 and a half hours at the first, 1 probe after an hour and a quarter at the second and a probe within 10 minutes at the third.

Ok, I'll repeat this thing, and won't probably do it again.

Having NO signals at all is just pure RNG luck. Degraded emissions seem to spawn everywhere. You can't rule out if a signal exists or not in a location based on time, you have to do it based on signals appearance.

If you don't even see a degraded emissions than it means you still haven't been granted by the gods of randomization, but that doesn't mean anything. Once you have 2 signals at least, you can start saying 'this other signal' doesn't spawn here, but still be wrong. Only after you have a few signals you can say 'this signal doesn't seem to spawn here' and feel confident about it.

Signal appearance can't be determined by time, specially when in all that time you don't have ANY signal at all. You should have at least degraded emission signals.

When I've been looking for a signal I always waited to have at least 2 different signal types, not just 2 different signals. In pleiades we are still close to the bubble, so you can at least have the following signals:
- distress calls
- emissions: encoded or degraded
- weapons fire

If you are not getting any signal that means bad rng luck. I have spent 2h on a giant ammonia with life based and didn't have any signal, but still persisted. After 2 more hours I had 4 signals, 3 different types. After 1 more hour I had 4 different signal types, which made me discard it from the -hot list-, and that is what I did with different body types in similar systems.

Michael, I'm feeling like challenging the Alpha here, but I really didn't get any results on anomalies in previous bodies before the ammonia world so, when you said: 'not just only ammonia worlds, but..' I'm thinking more about: they don't only appear in space -but also on the ground- and this is why NOT only ammonia worlds. I'm confident that I searched thoroughly orbits of different -ammonia related- body types and I only found them in ammonia worlds, so the other theory I'm considering is: in different systems -e.g. another nebulae- they could be in other system types.
