Rather the (abandoned) generation ship itself, as those huge vessels can not land.
yeap checking for signal sources around the two water worlds in HYADES
Why do you think this is a Generation ship? In this case it was 4 ish people who landed on a small moon. There is no reference to this being a big vessel.
Found a crashed ship on HR 540 2
Because with sub-light speed at 100s of lys away it must have been a generation ship. Given the ship is huge, only scout vessels could land... at least that's what I think.
In no place they mention multiple ships like generation ship+lander. They had a voyage on a ship which should land on an Earth-like world (stated exactly as that). So either they land with a generation ship or it's something completely different. Or maybe a fore guard for a generation ship?
Will do the same for HYADES . I cruised around the two water worlds in HYADES for a while but all i got was degraded signal sources with usual debri
Sorry for the change of topic:
I've spent a while at Dav's Hope, the forsaken mining station (see Page 1). I find it strange that there are many trespass-zones around the site with Skimmers.
And after I logged in again there was suddenly right outside the station a System Defence Force Vulture, mining drills, 2 Defense-Turrets and Skimmers set up, in a secured Perimeter. It was not there when I drove around the area earlier this evening. Such measures seem to fit to the description of the analysed messages that something strange went on with the mining shafts etc. They Turrets and so on are wanted by the way.
I'm not sure if I can get any information since the Turrets and Vulture will surely blow me to pieces in my Asp and SRV. If someone wants to check it out, add me as friend: Cmdr Glastinghouse. I'll be on the site for now.

Just to say, I have this in my notes :
`hip 3589 waterworld???`
It probably isn't because it wasn't in your list! But on the off chance it is it will be the nearest one, worth at least a quick check if you are flitting about.
edit: actually i will check

It's a working hypothesis based on the text of message 1. While the mission team comprised 4 people the last guy talks of wanting to complete their mission; that must be to deliver a cargo of some form- it could be the start of terraforming or it could be a cargo of hybernating settlers, the fcat that he talks of the target as an ELW suggests the latter rather thanthe former. I can't think of any other reason why he'd be so desperate to complete his mission.
All those searching for the second Alien ruins on and around COL 173 Sector KY-Q D5-47 14, what are your current strategies for surveying the surfaces of the moons 14I and 14J? I'm on 14I currently. Do we know anything about the terrain the site may be on, landmarks, craters, mountains, canyons, or what side of the planets it might be on?
Is it really just a blind search of the thousands of kilometers of surface?

OH bit out of the loop.
I can help (a bit!) with this if there is a genuine lead?
I think if it is another ruin you'd be looking at a flattish area.

All hi metals worlds when I checked.
It is possible the generation ship is in orbit around the destination world, if it was not designed to re-enter an atmosphere (heat shields and the hull strength needed to survive re-entry are heavy!) but instead carried a shuttle or drop pods.
Edit: in fact, given that the colonists ended up in a different world and were able to restart the trip (why would a ship meant for a one-way trip have boosters strong enough to get back into space?) I think the shuttle theory makes a lot of sense. I'm expecting the final find will be a persistent space PoI.

On an unrelated note, *adjusts tinfoil*, Isn't it a little strange that the 3rd wreck hasn't been mentioned on either Galnet or in the newsletter that came out today? They only mention the 2nd wreck..http://email-elitedangerous.com/3F35-CD5Y-3835AT2SB5/cr.aspx/DD

I aim for a big big crater and then fly from there to the small craters / flat ground around.
