hip 17403 a4 a i think should be given a real good searching, ive been finding quite a lot of double crators and other anaymolous geographical oddities i saw from supercruise to warrant a further look.
 
Rep for you to CMDR,

It's just a shame that we took so long (cutting the guys at FDev some slack!) to find the beacons at Cannon & Moon.

I believe they were added in one of the server maintenance periods as the one at the moon was deff not there a few days ago. I reckon they were found within a day or two of being placed.

UAs are killing the alien ships.

UAs are guardians that keep these ships confined to the inside of the shell.

They scan for ships, but they don't care about our ships. They are seek and destroy probes in a war humans are not part of.

Its funny you should say that, a friend of mine likes archeology and all that good stuff and to him the obelisks and such looks like a story told with pictures.

2 separate species find each other (top of the map) possibly around one of the home planets. one shown as the triangle formations and the other by the rows (top left of the map).
They either fight or join in union, this changes one of the species ( rows ) and they become something else ( middle left on the map, slightly longer with the extra detail )
The union or war ends the triangle formation species leaves or is forced to leave the area (middle right )
The remaining species returns home now a completely different beast.
There it stays awaiting war or union.


A wacky theory but i quite like it.

P.s. i think the rows represent an AI species able to adapt evolve at will.

P.s. just catching up on last night great work, have to say peeps that's some awesome work that's been done by a lot o cmdrs.

I'm not looking for recognition, I meant to do a remark about how it's difficult to follow the thread sometimes and check if something has already been tested and/or proposed.

I'm certain FDev added at least the Science Install @ 4c during the restart, but I think the Cannon beacon find came slightly before that, may even have been the trigger, and may itself have been triggered by the CG completion. All speculative of course, but just trying find a way that doesn't involve FDev screwing up the puzzles :)

I know what you mean; someone mentioned the Europa beacon last night and I'd never heard of it, so after visiting the new Crash site I paid a trip to Europa and waited 45 minutes for the transmission.

Only after transcribing and deciphering for another 15 minutes did I realise this was the original Sol beacon transmission at the start of the puzzle! (and is well covered on the FP)

Good Morning and o7 CMDRs!

What a wild ride it was yesterday.
Due to the speed of events there was little time to acknowledge what so many ppl contributed.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved!
Never have seen an effort like this in a game, my goodness where we fast :D.

Small Step Giant Leap Doom follows[/I][/SIZE]
That's the next step...

Shakespeare. Sun Tzu. Neil Armstrong.
They are pushing us around showing us our symbols of achievement.
Literature. War and Philosophy, Science.

I'm sure, they are just about to show us, that all this doesn't mean sh*t and how little and insignificant we still are.
And I'm sure we'll all "remember remember the fifth of November" from now on.

:O

I took a look at an overhead view is the 3rd crash site again this morning. There are 5 crashed ships in addition to the non-human ship.

That posting of The Glaive from Krull got me to thinking about the shape of an intact alien ship. It looks like it has 5 arms or claws. It it does look similar to a starfish, then did it lash out and snare these 5 ships AT THE SAME TIME? There was a struggle and the alien ship crashes, bringing the 5 ships down with it. That's why the smashed alien ship with a debris field around it, and the other ships are slammed INTO the ground, one T9 embedded side on halfway up a mountain!

Think Krakens and Giant Squids, dragging ships into the deep ocean.
 
Rest of the system scans fine, to lock it in space i have to lock it on the system map, and on the system map its blacked out ( not previously scanned either) in the left hand nav panel for the a sun bodies there are 4 out of the main 6 planets selectible, the a1 , a4 and a4 moon are affected

It still sounds like the same bug as before. It didn't always affect all bodies. They also appear fine to me (at the moment):

Actually, I also remember getting this bug around the Pleiades once for a system I'd bought data for, then went to scan.

I was just going to ask if we should read anything into the lack of bodies in the crashed ships. Or maybe FDev has a policy against showing dead bodies?
Given that we found this site because of various numbers stations in inhabited space, I think it's safe to assume that there is at least one other human organizations who knows about it, and who probably would have already carted off any bodies for study.
 
Good morning everyone, brave CMDRs!

In this fine morning, let me remember you this:

Small Step Giant Leap Doom follows
While it's natural to read that as a warning should we continue to unravel such mysteries, in this particular instance it may also be more simple. We followed the clues to a site with a number of crashed/dead ships. It's not our doom that followed, but theirs we were witness to.
 
It occurred to me this morning that the UA's were not being carried by the ship;

We know the UA's scan any ship within a certain proximity - We know the UA's are corrosive - Maybe theyre a bio weapon designed to target the ships we see in the crash site.

As to why, I don't know, just throwing it out there so as not to automatically assume that the ship was carrying the UA's.

UAs are killing the alien ships.

UAs are guardians that keep these ships confined to the inside of the shell.

They scan for ships, but they don't care about our ships. They are seek and destroy probes in a war humans are not part of.

Mentioned this idea myself a while back. Didn't really pick up much attention though. It makes sense to me though.
 
I´m sorry that I sometimes come here and throw in wild speculations and theories only.
I know that isn´t very scientific, but to me it is a big fun part of the game and maybe any of them prove right or help the real scientists to find their truth.

I have a feeling that those crab like alien beings usually (alife) are having something, that we haven´t seen yet.
It possibly looks like a transparent sphere that is positioned in the big center dell. I think this has already speculated by others too, so it is not originally my thought.
However. That sphere is the energetic center of the being and it is able to emit high energy flashes (with emp?) of a great destruction potential.
The federation has noticed that and begun hunting those critters for harvesting their nova globes for analyzing and if possible copying that potential weapon technology.
In reality these beings are a constructed life form made by the guardians. Their mission is to observe a dedicated part of space and report back to their creators, if a triggering event happens.
And with reporting back I mean.. they´d travel to the obelisk ancient ruins site and flash their spheric flashes, which activates the giant transportation machine that is capable of catapulting them to the ancient place of Raxxla, where the guardians have their controlling base.
So the crab aliens are digged in at several dusty rocks and sometimes come up to launch probes (the unknown artefacts). The artefacts report to Merope 5C, where the barnacle receives the data and transmits it into subspace, where the guardians can gather the informations all together.
This means all the other barnacle locations are also potential relay stations, they are just not being used at the moment because of strategic reasons.
The unknown probes are coming from the Thargoids, which do their own observations trying to find suitable ammonia planets for their invasion strategy.
So basically, our next tasks are a couple of community goals to work through the archeologic site, digging it out maybe step by step..
and after all we need to get in contact with the crab species to ask them (friendly or by brutal force) to open the Guardians gate for us, because the Thargoids are coming to get their revenge.
The guardians btw. are those who shut down the intergalactic travelling because they´ve seen what we did to the Thargoids. They don´t want species to extinct each others, so they´ve separated the two dominating star travelling civilizations into separate galaxies. [woah]

Quote from the Raxxla Theories https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/168253-The-Quest-To-Find-Raxxla :

That is really nice theory.. But have some problem.. Guardians are dead species. Long ago. Like really long ago..

D. Braben say also that we have to solve a mistery of their death. And he even can give us a hint that the reason they are dead is not.. (here was alien transmition).

Or maybe the UAs are offspring of the Alien ship. What does a mother do when something threatens her young? RIP FACES OFF RAWR! Them being scattered nearby is more than just coincidental.

I also noticed something else interesting. The 2nd wreck is 16ly from this one. And the Anaconda wreck is almost 16ly from there. I think that's also more than just a coincidence, and also narrows the search pattern considerably. I haven't looked at the various system maps in detail but there has to be some kind of a pattern somewhere. Of note, the Taurus Dark Region is close by.

Also ran across this as I noticed this area seems to be between the Pleiades, and the Taurus-Auriga cloud.

Very interesting Zen :) I thought of the same thing when I saw the screenshots from the crash site. Especially the one depicting the torn hull of the human ship, but without any burn marks. As if it was done by a huge claw. I certainly believe that those alien ships, apart from the longer range weapons they may have, they also boast a melee attack capability....
 
I'm just wondering, now we have the locations of three crash sites what is at the centre of the triangle they form? Please be those ruins from earlier :)
