Has anyone found anything yet?

Not a damn thing so far, but it's only been 24 hours.

Ok...I've discovered my co-pilot is perfectly happy to get his 12% without having to do anything and that General's really hate it when you get scanned leaving the dock within a minute of picking up the mission.

i do hate being scanned and the guy who's scanning me usually ends up dead;)
 
I dont now if this could be important but i was on my way to Merope. I jumped into Pleiades Sector RO-Q B5-0 around 40Lj from Merope as i spotted a federal battlecruiser in my navigation tab. Nothing special normaly but this system has zero population and the nose of the ship is pointing exactly to the middle of the 4. planet.
It remembered me on the majestic class battlecruiser of the Empire thats flying over the alien crash site!

There is an Empire system with 0 population near by with military economy. lol

so the the battleship ai around there is still brain dead good to know
 
I have been looking at the image of the alien surface 'tower' (shown in the trailer and on the OP) and think that the middle circled object looks like a planetary nebula. Cross-checking with the blue-coloured nebulae local to Sol in https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-List-of-(real)-Nebulae-and-Galaxies-in-Elite there are several candidates (distances are from Sol):
Ghost of Jupiter (1.4 KLY)
Blinking (2.0 KLY)
Eight Burst (2.1 KLY)
Fetus (2.9 KLY)
Red Spider (2.9 KLY)
NGC 2438 (3.1 KLY)
Bug (3.4 KLY)
Another possibility is that it might be the Pleiades, since this nebula is now blue - maybe worth a flight away from the Pleiades in a direction keeping Andromeda behind you as well?

On my way to Merope from SOL lastnight, there is a few systems that have a similar skybox to that on the trailer. Also Pleiades being a blue dot. Gonna have a search now and update systems Sol side of the Pleiades

I am also looking. Like many i started near the Witchhead Nebula. I thought i was close.
But now i'm lightyears away! and still think i'm close ;)
But i know i'm not...

My search method is like follows..
I watched This! movie From EGX. This showed barnards loop in the background.
Then i aligned myself so the loop looks like this on every jump.
Then i tried to use This video (the trailer on 1:27) for further reverence!
[video]https://gaming.youtube.com/watch?t=86&v=iojsbuOzEuQ[/video]

In that same vid i saw at second 26 a brown dwarf!

So... I think its relative close to the bubble but not so close to the Witchhead nebula.
(i hoop i'm right about this)
 
the best advice to anyone lurking is probably to if youre aware of any of the usual cannon stuff is to until something is confirmed spread out search established settled space, search distant nebulals or just randomly land on planets and look for points of interest until something interesting is found and reporrted
 
I went to a barnacle and there are two detail differences - the cracks around the barnacle and green wisps flying out of it and a very thin aura. Creepy-boiling-ground-sound still present and unchanged.

While the former can be due to the graphical update of ground textures (the spikes also got that, no change in size/spread of either spikes or barnacle), the latter I don't recall - it looks like campfire wisps, just green. Anybody saw that before? Checked youtube videos and didn't see squat. Not like it's really important, but hey!

OK i'm gonna say i thing that's important for the 2.2 search
it was a bit of a long read before so here's my new discovery after a long line of logic puzzle-ing;
There is a third new probe
thank the patch notes for this new info:
- Fixed a mysterious thing finding it's way into a cargo canister when being ejected.




and if you are interested in the full "short" version
its on page 19:)

Isn't this about the whole Unknown Artefact/Probe (Canister) thing ?
I mean, after ejecting they registered as canisters iirc, which was quite tbh
Maybe this was what the fix is about ?
