Can you find blue POIs outside of the bubble?

Hello all, sorry for opening a second thread in les than 24 hours but I need answers.

As the title says, can you find those outside of the bubble? I'm 2500ly away from the bubble and I haven't found a single blue POI in any of the planets and moons I've landed. I've found minerals, scattered cargo and derelict SRV's, but not a single blue POI.

Thanks!

So at 30000LY, I'm not likely to find any ?

But (if I'm lucky and drive around for long enough) will I still stumble upon crash sites / etc ?
If so, how likely are they ?

distance away from the bubble reduces how much poi you find

8kly out from the bubble surveying a planet for volcanism and looking for the little POI, so far three crashed ships (large POI), 1 small outcrop POI and 2 system control vessels on a planet less than 300klms in radius. I must add though that it seems to be oddly unpredictable, some planets I can cruise across and find no non-volcanism POI's, others I hit them one after the other. About a month ago around 14kly out I never came across any, without any distance change from the bubble they just started appearing, at the same time I started seeing the system control vessels in otherwise empty systems thousands of ly from any inhabited systems. I suspect it's some sort of bug introduced a while back, there is currently a bug report in about it.

So at the moment yes you can encounter quite a few if you are lucky/unlucky.

I believe the cutoff range for major POI’s is 10,000lys. Once you get out past there you will only find material nodes on the scanners, no man made anything, no major POI's of any kind.

I wish there were “natural” surface POI’s to be found out in deep space (and in the bubble too), things like meteorites or geological features, things which could be scanned for exploration data that gets more valuable with distance from SOL. It would give explorers a great incentive to land on planets and wander around surfaces, to truly use the SRV to explore. Seems like it would be a fairly simple feature to add to the game, simple but super positive for exploration gameplay.

Maybe one day. [sad]

I have been much further out and found them, let me check the exact location, ok don't have the system name but I do have the distance, would have been taken from EDDI at the time 16.5kly, I noted it in this post at the time;

I will be heading back out that way after getting to the bubble and doing some running around but I am sure I have been finding them regularly from a long way out but only since the date of my post.

yes, you can, it just might take very long. 2000 ly below sag a* i cruised around 1 1/2 hours.... and found one.

not sure whether all kind of pois dows spawn, but a friend of mine found a hidden base 10 k ly out.

I have seen wrecked ships with occupied life pods, data packages and goods, also a crashed probe, no hidden bases so far.
