Hay Cmdrs,
Frawd is back in the sidewinder...everybody have a drink!!
I have decided to use my trusty sidey, the Grass Hopper II to have some adventures in or near the bubble, visiting all the new and interesting sites that have appeared since 2.2 dropped.
I have upgraded the Grass Hopper II with a level 5 FSD (26.7LY Max Jump) and level 1 thrusters and power plant. I have also given her an SRV bay to make life more fun!
Over the past two nights I have been exploring the alien ruins on SYNUEFE XR-H D11-102 1 B...and boy what a strange spooky place this is turning out to be. The planet has a rotational period of 6.9 days and currently that puts the ruins in darkness (with Barnard's Loop peaking over the horizon and the galactic plane streaking across the sky...gorgeous). The blue/green glowy stuff/crystals are extra spooky at night and the "singing" from some parts of the ruins is downright scary.
However, what I really noticed was that something strange is going on with either gravity of the magnetic fields in this place. In certain parts of the ruins and at certain times I can stop the SRV and then it begins rolling again at a constant speed of 1-3 m/s. I can turn the SRV around in the opposite direction and the phenomenon is the same, so it's not a gentle slope that I am rolling down. The SRV will even roll over slight mounds, up and then down at a constant speed. And then occasionally that phenomenon will cease and no more rolling. You can see all this in video #2 below.
In addition, some of the alien objects appear to be magnetic, attracting the SRV to them even up quite steep slopes. Video #1 below shows me rolling up a slope, with me applying no power to the motors, to one of the metal objects (specifically one of the three on the raised circular dais). The strength of the "magnetic field" seems to fluctuate or pulse, as I sometimes rolled back away from the object then get dragged back towards it again (with a bang). Also note the pulsing of my red tails lights (but not my headlights) in unison with the rolling back and forth.
Finally, in video #3 shows SYNUEFE XR-H D11-102 1 B's moon and how it is beautifully aligned with the raised circular dais and the long high ridge leading to the dais. I wonder if the moon has something to do with this, and whether we might find more interesting things on that moon. Something I will be investigating when I log on next.
Here are a couple of images from my first night at the ruins:
And here are the videos:
Video #1: Shows me being pulled up a slope towards one of the metal objects on the raised circular dais. Watch for the pulsing of my tail lights and the strength of the magnetic field.

Video #2: Rolling both ways along the ridge leading to the raised circular dais. I am not applying power to the SRV, except initially to get to the top of the ridge.

Video #3 shows the alignment of the ridge with the planet's moon and how close and spooky it is. The two dark objects I am rolling towards appear to be some sort of "gate" for the ridge.

I will be posting more from this planet over the next few days. Eventually I will move on to the other sites.
