How do you actually get the UL in the side room?

Edit: NVM - MadRapt got there first :)

Edit: loving the chat in the livestream trying to work out how we found the location, glad I've been keeping notes! (Though we still don't know where MadRapt found site#3...)

Distress call

Wingmate forced me to come to HIP 14909 to see the Thargoid Base and after entering the system here's what i found in a distress call :

High Res caputre of Activated sight and video

Here is a High Res, flipped version of the activated chamber.


And video:

Expanded Instructions:

With UA and UP in SRV Hold, enter the central structure.

Inside the structure there are two chambers, a central chamber, and a side chamber.

Take your UA and UP into the side chamber, there will be three pedestals. Once you approach the pedestals and as long as you have the UA and UP in your hold, the UL (Unknown Links) should drop down, held up by three spindly energy beams. You will need to shoot the UL to dislodge it so you can pick it up.

Go to the main chamber, in the main chamber there will be a large central statue and three pedestals with floating orbs. In front of each pedestal are green circular plates, when you drive your SRV on top of those plates the orb in the pedestal will change to a hologram of the item needed, jettison the correct item for each pedestal.

Once all items are in the correct spot, the central structure will glow orange.

The central structure is called an Unknown Device, again, once all parts are in place you will then scan the unknown device and it will complete the puzzle and show you a display of a spiral galaxy.

However that structure is AWESOME!
Have you seen the details? The cables, the lights, the living nature of it...

What is that red "double UA" ?!?! Is it the UNKNOWN LINK?

Yes, thar's what I'm guessing, though only watched 20 minutes & came in late after they'd got it from somewhere...

Nice! I've heard it reported, but now I've added the image to the Large Wreck info [up]

No - see MadRaptor's post about UL location.

Initial map of the unknown structure

E= exit/doors

LK0XFua.png



Structure contains a central ring around a main hall - where the map is located, there are multiple nodules on the floor which damage your hull if you drive into them.


Branching from the central ring are several rooms which have dispensers for the Unknown Links. As well as the doors to exit.


The central room contains a large structure, which some have suggested - when viewed upside down, like some kind of creature - there are luminescent parts to this structure. Around the ceiling are several egglike structures. There are 3 'bubbles' which you can put UL/UP/UAs into - these can be activated by driving onto a pad - which lights when you get near, and slowly driving up the ramp towards the illuminated bubble. There is a specific combination which works - completing this and then scanning again will activate the map.


There are also nodes which you can scan at the bend of each 'door' corridor. As well as one in the central room.


The central room is around the same height as the outer ring, however the branching UL rooms curve down below the ring, where the exit corridors branch off and curve upwards.


The whole structure appears to be under the ground.

5: HIP 14909 2 A Lat: -26.44 Long: -27.47 (reported by MadRaptor) (APPEARS ALIVE!)

Inside an active site, to make things happen: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...0-The-Canonn?p=5658411&viewfull=1#post5658411

Path to first Large Wreck Site :

Electra -> Celaeno * -> Large Wreck Sites #1
* warning - NPC ships will attack

Path to 2nd Large Wreck
Megaship

Path to 4th Large Wreck
Megaship

Path to HIP 14909 (Large Wreck #5)

Found via triangulation of three listening posts:
Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4
Merope
HIP 19072

There is also a persistent USS with ship wrecked by thargoids near planet 1
More Listening posts (target is not a Large Wreck Site so far):
HIP 16378
Bhadaba (Grengarr) looks like it's pointing to HIP 16378 3 B, nothing found so far


If you want to link to my latest post in this thread it has much better instructions I think! Thank you for this lovely recap for people though. Was an awesome night
