After 'slipping' and pressing the wrong trigger on my hotas, I came away with the prism / ancient artifact from one of the etowers in the ruins. This allowed me to view it from all sides, incuding the lower end, and this showed my initial thought of two interior shapes existing was correct. There's a d20 shape surrounding a sphere inside the prism about a third of the way from the top, where the light is emitted from seemingly. I didn't need to clip with the debug camera to see this too, which was nice.

The sunlight was in the right place for a good shot of the linear features of the ruins, which I'll post once it's finished uploading. I'll appologise in advance for all the tire tracks from my SRV that can be seen (impressive detail from 1.5km up)

I had to convert the bitmap to a jpeg before uploading would work... oh well.

Take it one step further, the ship needs no pilot, it is a sentient being and bred for missions. UA's could be spawned by the ship as needed for a purpose. There are no traditional exits/entries to the ship that I could see. We could be looking at a scout vessel as it's not very large.

Further, even in its' current state, my ship was scanned on approach so some of the wreck's systems are on-line. If they can scan, they possibly can transmit.

Assume it's a scout, it's on a recce mission, scouts collect information and try to avoid contact with other ships, who knows how many of these are around that haven't been seen.

Good military strategy requires good intel on your opponent, strengths, weaknesses, quality of equipment, concentration of resources, supply lines, political alignments, internal warfare, etc. This rash of finds may be indicative of a ramping up of intel gathering before an overt act.

Are they peaceful or war-like, or maybe as xenophobic as we are? Stay tuned.

You are saying that the crached ships are bassically an organic version of the autonomous exploration probes that Sirius corporation are sending out.

I like it. :)

I'm willing to bet the scanning you had happen was from the UA's as they scan any ship that enters within 1km if i remember correctly

Thanks for that Jintosh, rep for you! Your shot shows some detail due to shadows that don't stand out on mine, but it doesn't seem to have any real impact on the stellar map I made anyway. Still, there are a few lines in yours I'd not noticed before, some lining up with key features too.

When I was there I only found 3 dead UA's, didn't find any live ones and none showed on my scanner. I did a 360 around the site no sign of "life". That I could have missed a "live" one, possibly.

No idea whether it´s a bug or not, but as I drove into the settlement I got a promotion to Elite :) (being Triple Elite since 02/15, so that´s somehow... not correct).

I mean, they are talking about corrupt data :)

So what´s going on?

Yeah I got that. Guess it's a bug related to the message/data dropping.

Couldn't find anything else in the area after a quick survey.

I had a combat promotion message from over a month ago come up yesterday while I was in an srv. Probably some kind of src mode bug.

Hmm thats a little odd tbh....But its possible one rolled away or the dead ones do(I doubt that tho) Sounds like Ua's tho....Someone else should check( i would but can't get on atm)

I recall that post possibly somewhere before page 311 from memory.

However it appears that it may have been a non persistent POI of which there are many near Dav's Hope mining post. With others we have been searching around there for days now with no luck for any permanent find yet of 'Shaft 48' despite searching a significant distance out from the post.

Good luck though :)

Abondoned alien research base.

Hi CMDR's i found this research base in star system: HR 5991 after scanning some listening posts and triangulate the positione. It is located on the second moon of first planet (HR 5991 1b) lat 33.47, long -2.17. You can find there some damaged abondoned base. There is data link there with some corrupted data and also the strange message: Part 1.„ It was there a few days ago I swear. Doctor Lewis said I'm lucky ot to be fired for dragging them all out here. But it was right here, the proof that they exist. Someone must be messing with me . There is no way taht much data can be corrupted without leaving a trace. This can't be right. There seems to be a signal hidden in the corrupted data. I didn't see it before, and if the data hadn't been ruined I mignt never have seen it... Part.2 I found It, they'll all think I'm crazy but I found it. It's definitely not a natural signal or background noise. I've run evey test I can thinik of and they all confirm it's not natural or humain in origin. .. Part 3. I did it, I told Doctor Lewis and this time I had a proof. Everyone seened really excited about it. Doctor Levis is sending speciial report to command.... Part 4 Cleaner team 26 reporting in. Company Directive 3650 in effect. All data regarding research project under Doctor Lewis is now classified. Al assets have been processed.
Also there are some strange sounds being heard there. Maybe this is this signal. I was unable to find out more, maybe You will.

Finally found it. Kept getting sidetracked by some massive wanted mining operations in the area, surely instanced.

Settlement looks like it was attacked. Screenshots below. Doors are destroyed, Laser-Burns on the roofs and on the sidewalls.

Edit: And the "Radome" (Whatever it is :)) is active and rotating, last picture.

I checked both structures - they caught my interest, too - and they turned out to be non-persistent POIs. Check my following posts and the cited posts therein: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...9-The-Canonn?p=4734020&viewfull=1#post4734020 and https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...9-The-Canonn?p=4734106&viewfull=1#post4734106
