be careful this CG is ramping up and could be over within 12 hours so its gong to be tight for all of us getting in on it late ( generally aussie tz)

I've already gotten almost 2000 tons. Just need 8 more trips for my python. 12 hours is plenty of time. :) Going to try and put another good 6 hours or so in tonight when I get home

For Ilo, Randolf Arguento and anyone else still checking ammonia's: I just randomly found another one :D

Pleiades Sector ON-T c3-12. Planet 2.

It's a little closer than I've been looking for: 85.73ly from Merope.

(Also, I'm still terribly unlucky with USS spawns, not found one here yet, but since how close it is, I'm fairly confident they will).

If you give up on it I can still go and check, confirmation of negative is also good!
Awesome :)
 
Anyone know a good source of narcotics near the goal? I just made a run from a Wolf system with my Clipper, 124 tonnes. I know a lot of you guys are hauling leagues more, but my ship's built to be all purpose. The shorter my runs, the more I can help.

hip 17022 Blueford but its 8000ls off the nav point but it is only 32ly out but u can take crop harvestors back in the other direction returning from cail ( so crop harvestors and narcotics to create a 2 way run) to max profit

if im not wrong 500,000 tonnes added in the last hour and a half. Could be over very soon

guesse we had better get ready to figure the next clue out ( i wonder if it will be a manual Fdev addidition or an automatic
 
Today I was exploring parts of the SYNEFAI Sector about 400LY below MAIA. I encountered a destroyed patrol ship. After scanning their black box I found this:

Patrol partially completed. Data Error! Data source tracked with unknown response type. Secure integrity failure. Unidentified Wake type registered....

Anybody saw the like before? Did they meet hostile Aliens?

hmm.. yes, but I cant remember getting them with special messages before. And.. those three came from just one scan of a black box.


the messages were a recent addition but are still part of the regular engineers process and dont represent anything new in terms very narrowly defined along the lines of the alien search. They are rare and needed for some lv 4 and 5 engineer reciepies so are well worth scanning private data boxes / black boxes

ah. ok, thanks for clarification! o7

Bluford is dry.

You have to go like 99ly out for a decent supply of narcotics now.

Last time I checked xibe was the best place to go but that stock was dropping fast..

just picked up 160 there, sure supply is down to 400 but it does bounce back every 5 minute cycle. But you do have a good point, take some crop harvestors back the other way lets see if that feeds into extra production, battle weapons can be hauled out to for sale or black market sales just to generate a return leg to wherever route
 
just contributed 1000 tons. :/ dont think im going to do anymore with these server issues that im being messed up by though. unfortunate


The last hourly updated has us at 4.3m tonnes so thats 300k in the last hour. The eurozoners might miss out on the tailend of the CG today, but they jight have to solve the clue

narcotic supply at HIP 17022 is back up over 1000
 
If we are indeed looking for a system near a binary pulsar,
it would be very conveniant since :


  1. The only way to know a neutron star is a pulsar in ED is that the neutron star in question is known as a pulsar IRL. There is nothing saying : this is a pulsar in ED.
  2. There is only one know binary pulsar : PSR J0737-3039. It can be found in game an lies 3K lyr away. (i.e. not that far).

The problem with that reasoning is that it requires us to assume that FD are using the terminology very precisely and there is no evidence to support that. The fact that the word is used in the context of a clue to a mystery makes it even more likely that they're just using "pulsar" as a synonym for "neutron star". If the assumption is wrong then the clue - if it's even true - could well be talking about any system with a pair of neutron stars.

Nice find :)
With the spawing in general, during my trials yesterday (spend a total of 15 hrs around KC-U 8, it seems as if spawning in general is generated upon entry of SOI, by means of spawn rate as well as of spawn types.
After entry of SOI U get quite quickly (5-6 Minutes) the first spawn, another 6-8 Minutes later the second and so on, but with increasing time delay between spawns. If U get two or three times the same, this doesn´t change anymore (U only will encounter these) until U left SOI and re-entered, or the unsual 1 hour rec<ycle-period of ED steps in (which would explain also the experiences from before - "U have to wait at least one hour to indentify a negative"). I´d rather say if U do 6 dips into SOI of 10 Minutes each and U get nothing, its more likely to be called a miss.
Same if within the first 15 Minutes there is no spawn at all (had that 3 times too), just get out and re-enter - 3 out of my 4 UP spawns until now have been spawning as first spawn after entry of SOI, 2 times even on approach before reaching Orbit 13-15Mm....

my standard flightpath..
 
the red trader stated that one of his friends lies and that the system has a single M-class star. One said binary pulsars and the other said a single star with 10 planets.

I think i'm gona go with the M-class star with 10 planets. Allot tougher to find as it's extremely common but the binary pulsars people are looking for might not even be real.
