Just a miss placed Tourist Beacon?
I seem to remember someone was keeping a record of the hyperdictions. Was the Federation ranking of the hyperdicted pilot considered in the analysis? And how about the ship type-are fed ships preferred targets? It seems that Thargs dislike Federation so it might be that these are factors.
The crash site with the wrecked T-9s and Anacondas alongside it? Yeah, I mentioned that here a week or so ago. Glad it wasn't just me that experienced it. It was very disconcerting when my 1 billion credit Cutter momentarily spawned underground. That's what would've happened if you'd done the "Safe Disengage" while still in Orbital Cruise.
It was probably meant to be a tourist beacon like the ones in the other crash site systems, i.e. in orbit, but the placement was a bit off. When I visited the tourist beacon in the second crash site system, it ran away from me at a speed that my Cutter couldn't keep up with. Just another bugged bit of new material, nothing to see here.
The only hole in this theory is that there is no beacon at this site. It just behaves like any other navigation marker. Maybe there's a tourist beacon somewhere up there in orbit with no marker?
Nope, no beacon there.
It's under ground.
Nope. If it were there, you'd still be able to lock onto it. You cant, because there's nothing there. Just a navigation marker.
I didn't see anything that indicated they were in a wing? Although it's quite possible (likely
) that I'm missing something obvious.

In the beginning there's two commanders in one ship but there's nothing stopping a third commander to bring his/her ship along, so I don't know if there's anything to this.
Hello,
I have a one big request. I didn't play ED since April, and I am lost in all new reports about aliens. I know there is the F.U.K. page (First Ultimate Knowledge page) of this topic but... can someone very briefly describe what has happened since April (just most important facts), and what should I (in your opinion) chase after my return? Meaning: most interesting theory that arose since April (I am familiarised with previous thingies), in your opinion of course. Thank you.

I had been trying for weeks to get interdicted, without success. Had tried Cobra MkIII, DBX, Anaconda and finally a day ago was interdicted four times in a row by the Alien flower ships whilst in my Imperial Cutter, transporting Silver for the CG.
I filled out the Canonn report and it appeared I was only the 2nd Imperial Cutter this had happened to, the hypothesis being that it can be any ship, but that most people are using the exploration preferred vessels out near Maia.
Have to say I was very impressed by the sounds and visual effects of the Alien interdiction, all credit to the FD team. [alien] [yesnod]
Ok, seems that ship type is ruled out. What about fed ranking?
Hi
First post from a long time lurker..
I think this is a barnacle that has hatched/flowered and ripped the area apart. Probably a double as there is an intact spire in the photo.

It may be that all or some barnacle sites will end up this way.... seed banks

The position of the dead Cap Ship in the direction from HIP 17044 to Alcyone, suggests it was hyperdicted on it's way to another system.
Cap ships aren't good at super cruising and don't operate far from bodies.
The HIP 17044 to Alcyone line, takes it very close to Merope and even closer to Maia.
There is a high chance the feds were carrying stuff that Thargoids wants to protect. As we don't get shot on hyperdictions, it's probably something we haven't found yet(eggs or something).
Good chance of a cave instance in HIP 17044, in my opinion.

Nice reasoning
Sort of what I was saying the other day, pages ago... they were on their way somewhere along the line A-B-C? Perhaps 17044 is C, but likely not. What other interesting systems lie on the A to B path if extended? I do think there is something worth finding in 17044 though, most likely on 2-B.
Asterope, not Alcyone.
If the site is there and it's as big as in the trailer one should easily be able to spot it from orbital cruise - at least low orbital cruise (can spot some of the ruins like that) - so I have my doubts.
Not yet been hyperdicted myself, but I believe when it happens that you end up in the start system but about 10,000 ls away from your jump point & it's not dependent on the destination system and probably is no indication of the intended route. So this wrecked convoy is possible support for a thargoid nest site somewhere in HIP 17044, assuming that the convoy was carrying something of specific interest to thargoids & probably not just the CG data they took from Palin (else how would Thargs know it of it & it was being carried aboard this convoy??), probably they collected/destroyed eggsacs, a good way to annoy
Edit: Doh, think it was you that raised this possibility! Must have drunk more than I thought, might not make the search today! [knocked out] What I intended to say was forget B&C, You're at A & that's likely to be the important one. Just watch out for an angry
edit2: As Rizal said, I think Merope might be a good system to search too!!

Hmmm... "A".... or... "C", then, based on your theory. Worth further investigations on 2-B.
From the video we get three clues:
- Grey Gas giant, with rings
- Grey-ish moon
- Deep canyons
Can we get the right angles on 2B with 2 and her rings lined up with canyons below? Going back in my Asp to find out!
