Holy crap between yesterday night and today you guys already found 5 different sites ?? I'm overwhelmed
Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 10 - The Canonn

Astonishing work by everyone here, who's streaming or otherwise.
To have found these sites on the same day as the new patch dropped (assuming they weren't always there - but then, who cares if they were?) on such a mass scale - brilliant stuff!
Definitely creates more questions than it solves.
Beyond being a cool mechanism to trigger the rather beautiful galaxy-like activity of the central structure, why would the UA + UP give rise to a UL, with all three of which needing to be placed together? What's the explanation for that? (outside of the game mechanic)
If UA and UP are so critical to whatever function it is we're seeing there (and I'm wondering if there isn't more to do after the thing lights up); then you have to wonder why UAs and UPs aren't found at the site along with everything else. How did these three things get separated?

Yes I posted this idea yesterday (or Sunday?) because I think on the lavecon video Sandro slipped & called the flowerships "Thargons" which were the automated drones deployed by the Tharg motherships in 1984

Another strange thing... the barnacles have 6 lobes arranged radially while these sites clearly have 8. Weird.
And yeah, rizal72, I admit this looks bad for my human UA hypothesis.
Updated - added Momijisu's guide as well - well done to all [up]
Nearly there myself, though just for a bimble
Oh now that's a thought...
Take the unknown link into space and do science on it. I do hope CMDRs on the ground have had the prescience to grab a few and store them on ship.
Perhaps if you're hyperdicted with one of those in your hold you'll get blasted by the Thargs
If look on this "galaxy map" you will notice that some stars (btw i think they are habitable systems of two factions but nvm) are too hight or too low to theoretical galaxy disk. Young "galaxy"?
And if compare our Milky way and this "galaxy" it is clear that stellar density or habitable systems density are extrimly low.

I think it isn't a galaxy, it's probably the size of our bubble, but with a different shape
welp I'm trying to get a probe and ua now soOh now that's a thought...

after I go do the thing in the structure I'll take the Ul out to space and see what happens....try and get hyperdictedI'm telling you it will all end in tears, you are trampling upon an alien power. Is it scientific, let alone wise, to try and activate these facilities on when we have not the slightest idea of their function? I am truly shocked at the behaviour of these so-called "scientists". The Cannon in particular have revealed themselves to be a bunch of free-booting pre-enlightenment yahoos.
I intend to see the lot of you deregistered. Struck off. You'll be lucky to get a job sanitising the carpet at your respective university bars, and may I remind you how truly horrible that is.

pssh nothing ventured nothing gained....that or insta death from bugs *shrug*
I think it reduces the probability of that hypothesis being correct, but cannot negate it completely as we have no idea of what timescale might be involved in such a process. HOWEVER I think the fact that these are "large wreckage sites" ( deduced on previous page or so from the Unknown Link etc description) would appear to reduce it still further. I suspect the barneys are Guardian-engineered mining/energy storage devices which the Thargs are using, and I still suspect the Thargs were originally engineered by the Guardians.
