Honestly Merope 5c has been searched so often that if a sight like the new discovery were to be found there, it'd be pretty unbelievable that it escaped notice for so long.

Could be subterranean. Given the amount of searching done on 5c it would pretty much have to be subterranean. Or cloaked.

Oh I was just about to say we would need a third system to come to an actual set of coordinates, otherwise we could only find a circle around the two systems that the end system COULD be on. But it should be solvable with three known systems and one unknown!

Just a rough estimate, but it looks like one of the two points is really close to the already-known HIP 19026. The other one is further "down" and "south-east", maybe nearer the Taurus Dark Region?

YES!! I just want to say this is the most excited I've been about ED... Maybe ever.... It's called trilateration when it's 3D. Someone please confirm that the given coords are x,y,z... I put it all into a spreadsheet I have for this aaaaand the two possible solutions solving for the missing are:

-94.870784, -259.679308, -343.458962

OR

-84.601083, -259.315191, -358.348040

I don't know how to translate that to a system but getting in my DBX now!!!!

My internet just blinked out on me, otherwise I would be brute forcing that galaxy map. Also did this patch further break mouse movement for anyone else? I now have to wiggle the cursor around the screen until the thing I want to click is highlighted (while the cursor itself is somewhere else), then click a bunch of times while making small movements until it works.

Much like if you were driving your car and someone remotely turned it off, paralysed you, shined strange lights in your eyes, batted your car around and just left?

If you flew a plane into the airspace of another country without permission you'd get a lot more than that. Especially if you ignored repeated warn-offs.

CMDR codexghost (stuck in new forum user moderation queue) did some trilateration on all the known system coordinates and came up with two possible solutions:

-94.870784, -259.679308, -343.458962
-84.601083, -259.315191, -358.348040

Is anyone able to check these out? Worst possible time for me to lose internet connection[mad]

This doesn't seem like a ship to me. It seems like an installation; a superstructure of some kind. Perhaps a city or outpost.

Whatever it is there is an abundance of new data materials and cargo, I guess sites like this are where we get the stuff for the new tech we need.

HIP 14909 is close to the second coordinate. The other looks empty. I'll double check.

HIP 14909 is the system. Located a distress call in the system. Destroyed Federal ship and green smoke. Thargoids. Inspecting system for more.

I had the same problem. You can work around it by jettisoning your UA from your ship when it's landed, and then launching your SRV and scooping it up again.

Yep that's how I got into the doorway. Also wighled into the center of the flower up top to scan data as well.

Just stopped in Maia and caught a listening post. Strange signal stuff and dropped signal en route to Electra. So I'm now heading over there to put my detective cap on ;-)

Let's be safe or there kids

Man I got to hand it to Frontier's art team once again, the site at HIP 19029 is really well done. Very atmospheric and alien feeling:
