just a few quick thoughts that may help to spark something

Looking at the main chamber, it reminds me of the alien series, with all the eggs. Might just be looks.
Thargoids inhabit witch space. Perhaps the main chamber shows systems in witch space that are inhabited by thargoids. Or it shows common entry points to witch space that the thargoids use. Or, as others have said, it shows systems in our galaxy that have habitable planets for thargoids.

If it were possible i would see if there is a way to overlay what the main chamber shows when activated with our own galaxy

This could also be a crash site, calling to home and sending stuff out to make the call easier.

Could be a data collection center, or something like our surface ports.

Possibly could be attempting to find ruins, if the ruins are from thargoids. All the lights shown in the galaxy thing could be locations of ruins in our galaxy. They may want to try and salvage stuff from ruins that humans are not aware of.

Based on what the ruins said, i feel like the Thargoids are the engineered warriors that the guardians created.

Thargoids are insectoids, so it may be worth while to study how insects in the real world communicate and interact and try to draw any parallels. I would not be surprised if the thargoids have a hive structures and a hive mind. Also, according to lore the majority of thargoids are female, again like many hive insects. (bees or ants anyone?) Assuming that thargoids act live hive insects, there may be 'queens' that control thargoids. Possibly one 'overlord' and then smaller controllers spread throughout the galaxy that control smaller groups. This may come in useful later when we start fighting them.

Also, i feel like the ships we've seen so far are simple multirole or fighter ships, much like an AspX or Cobra. Size wise maybe they are like anacondas, but i still feel like there are going to be larger ones and different variants out there.

Main reason for saying this is the size of what appears to be the cockpit on the US.

Looks kind of like an eye. Based on the way these things fly, i would say that this is actually at the 'front' of the ship. Rear is cargo access (some human ships have a similar setup)

I'll work on getting better pictures of US's so people can better study their structure

All of this is just what comes to mind when i see all of this.

Just to mention the pointing behaviour of the UL does not happen along its long axis but perpendicular to it, presumably in/opposite to the depression in its "middle". This is also shown in the new spectrogram which specifically shows the UA and UP pointing along their long axis which we know they do and the UL perpendicular to that. I can't tell but is it pointing in the direction of col 70 and its surrounds, maybe even at the UP planet?

There really needs to be a way to get a Guaranteed UP - I was going to make a clean video of the steps for the new base but can I find another one?.... sheesh :(

Kudos for the positive spin on the UP search - I'm trying to think of it like fishing :D (But then again I only just started, so will maybe get jaded)

D4RKS4V4NT: As Rizal said - check my sig for a direct link [up]

Earlier I got one pretty quickly....Now I've lost count of how many orbits i've done...
 
So i'm wondering are these crashed ships and this is the only one thats in shape to be salvaged some how, if it is a crashed ship then its going to be g huge roughly the site is around 9-10km in diameter

I'll test this out for you now in that case.

Yes as it's like a transmitter dish in the centre - Sorry large image in spoiler

i would venture a guess and say the scavengers are thargoid made, look at their propulsion and rear end. Very similar to the unknown ships

Given that it appears to receive from the UA and UP does the dish point directly at or away from its target, the spectro image looks like (if I turn my head and look at the triangle inside it) that the "dish" faces away from whatever it transmits at....like some kind of collimator.

It's really finicky. Sometimes it points, sometimes it doesn't although it generally looks like it's pointing at Merope, just not with the 'dish' end. I gave it a nudge and it sorta realigned itself? But was off a bit. Gunna see if I can honk it whilst it's reacting to the UP/UA.

BRAINSTORM:
Gunna use a UA to try an see if they both point the same way!

Having looked at this image, and having read other's take on it, here's my theory, which is similar to what I've been reading:

The picture represents the 3 stages of exploration of the galaxy.

1) One probe type is responsible for body discovery - the ADS if you like

2) Another probe is responsible for Detailed Surface Scanning - the DSS

3) The 3rd probe is responsible for sending that data back

The top and bottom circles with the seeming LAT/LON lines, represent the same planet - i.e. judging by the depiction of the flowerships - the Thargoid's home planet.

So overall, the picture tells the story of 1) Sending the three probes out, 2) and recieving the data back from the probes.

We explorers do similar, except we send ourselves out in our ships, and we follow more or less the exact same sequence...

1) ADS honk
2) DSS
3) "Send" the data to Universal Cartographics (by selling them the data)

I think that's all this is - just a depiction of galaxy exploration.

Now, there is that additional centre point on the top and bottom planets - either that means it's just a representation of the probes being sent out and data coming back to the Thargoid home world, or it could be saying the probes are being sent out from these newly-discovered big bases, and the data is being returned to those bases - and from this data you get the resultant Thargoid version of a galaxy map.

My 2-pence worth, but I think it's as simple as that - the equivalent of our Voyager gold disks - design 'em to make it as simple as we think we can make it to help an alien intelligence understand what's on the disk.

I have my doubts that anything on that spectrograph represents pointers to somewhere in the galaxy. Maybe I'm wrong though - time will tell ;)
