'LISA' and 'PLATO' are unrelated missions - they were just both approved at the same meeting by ESA. PLATO is using stellar dimming to detect exoplanets.
The galactic spiral arms aren't created by gravitational waves, although gravity does have a very important part to play in the motion of those stars around the galactic centre (allowing for weirdnesses such as stars on the outer rim orbiting around the centre faster than those closer in - part of the reason for the invention of Dark Matter). The basic mechanics, however, are effectively the same as they are for planets in a solar system - the initial mass(es) which coalesced into the stellar body acquired velocity from an event which threw it out, whilst the gravity of the mass in the centre of the galaxity keeps pulling back towards the centre - giving rise to an elliptical orbit.
Gravitational waves don't affect that - what they do (in very simplistic terms to the best of my non-science understanding) is affect the distance between two points in space, because they are stretches/compressions in spacetime - how those two objects move through spacetime, however, is unaffected.

If the center --| symbology is morse code, it translates to GKD
That could be a timer or numbers related to part of a wider plan i'e phase 1 phase 2 etc , At this point in time they could be at this phase in whatever plan they have. Which is probably to harvest Barnacles and get Food/Energy.
I'm presuming the UA's point to Barnacle sites that are ready for harvest.
The UP's point to a system ( maybe in Col 70 )
The UL points to these caves and what appears to be the Thargoid Homeworld
They are all navigation tools. On their own they have individual instructions but combined they may just point to the Thargoid homeworld on the Stellarium
There may be something else needed to find a pointer on the map, maybe activate all the map rooms etc.
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-other-mysteries-Thread-10-The-Canonn/page151 I posted this theory a couple months ago.
Are the caves part of a Thargoid Growing/manufacturing process or are they some sort of command centre ??

you conviently forgot my livestream, but i forgive you for your arrogance. I found the scavengers dropped a new material when you blast them. you also get loads of data from scanning, probably for weapon and armor engineering in the future,
Think we can rule out HIP 22460 as the right-hand system, that one has 17+ planets.

HOWEVER NOW WE KNOW WHAT IS THE THARGOIDS LOGO!
Or how they depict themselves with a pictogram: that flower shaped thing on top left/right of the image
I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed to not see the Galnet logo there...
Anyone trying to brute force the systems dump from EDDB yet?
I'm guessing it's Merope, HIP 14909 and the system the UPs are pointing at in the Col 70 region. Slicing up the system coordinates within a 400ly sphere around both "known" systems it's only a matter of finding two systems that are 3 units (300ly?) and 2 units (200ly?) from both "known" systems.

They grow outside the base, it would be a bit strange if you could shut it down with something they grow/produce/manufacture/harvest (delete as applicable)
I've gone through multiple pages but couldn't find a clear break-down of how the initial alien structure was discovered? (worth adding this to the FP?)
Also have we got any confirmation from Frontier as to if these sites have been in the game for some time or were they added in the latest update?
I'm guessing this is what Sandro meant when he said his favourite bit of the game had yet to be discovered?

It's on the FP already: check CMDR Factabulous RECAP...
Awesome. The system on the right is definitely not Sol. The symbols on the left are for ringed gas giants. If the system on the right was Sol it would have at least one or two of those symbols. It shows a new system.
So on the spectro on the left is merope. Clearly. But on the right people say its sol. but i dont see any ringed planets on the right
The caves are possibly remnants from previous Thargoids in the galaxy.
The Scavengers are probably doing just that Scavenging for old Thargoid parts and Materials.
Something in Col 70 has re awoken or been re awoken by Someone, possibly a shadowy organisation and now the Thargoids are assembling a new fleet. ( Or trying to communicate with the Thargoid homeworld to call in other Thargoids )
