It wouldn't be that shocking if they were Thargons at all...because they *ARE*! I'm 95% sure that that fact was stated by one of the Devs at Lavecon last week.

Yes, they mentioned *Thargons* in livestream. Remembered because that term was new to me.

Has anyone bothered to check Merope 5C since the new patch? Perhaps more answers can be found there now. Also have you tried seeing if the link points to that permit locked HIP sector everyone thought had the caves on it?

I don't think so, but I plan to redo a Survey of it in the coming days.
 
Crazy theory... the federal ships could have been attacked and boarded by scavengers carried by a mothership, as our SRVs on the ground.

Update to the UL pointy thingy!

Here's the best I could do in the time I have with some dodgy arrows to show which way the 'dish' is pointing. Not sure if the dish indicates which way it is facing or not so I'm going off that assumption for now. Depending on which way the 'pointy bit' is, it could be pointing in that general direction although the dish bit seems to point elsewhere!

Here's an Imgur gallery ft. two of the closest systems I could get inline:

UL TEST GALLERY

I can take some better shots later once I have a bit more time on my hands! :D

I also tried (yesterday) to see if the antenna in the "dish" pointed anywhere - didn't come to any conclusion myself either. Like your pictures show, it doesn't seem to point anywhere in particular.

Hmm ok maybe I need to test myself when I get in game - Taxi! :D
 
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 :(
Agree. I've been around a planet where I managed to get an UP before, but all I get now is USS threat level 0. The first one I checked only had common stuff, just to make sure they haven't changed to level 0. All USS lvl0 after that I just skipped. Still no L3 in sight...

Do we have a source? Not that I don't believe you, but you might get nailed to a cross by some of the canonn lot lol :D

So I guess my cruddy pic from earlier could be legit then xD

Site 5 is where all the action is!

Large Wreck Sites:


1: HIP 19026: PLANET B 1 C LAT -17.9526:LONG -152.6844 (find by lightningwing)
2: Aries Dark Region DB-X D1-63 A 7 A Lat: 25.94° Long: 77.96° ( find by CMDR: StarFireIX and wingmates) (and via megaship)
3: Pleiades Sector OS-U C2-7 Body: 4 A Lat: 58.21° Long: -177.04° (found by MadRaptor)
4: Col 285 sector CV-Y D57 AB 4 A 4.78 / 136.27 (find by PanPiper) (and via megaship)
5: HIP 14909 2 A Lat: -26.44 Long: -27.47 (reported by MadRaptor) (Interactive!)

For the interactive site (site 5):

You'll need a UP & UA - the UA opens the door to the structure, and you will need the UP
1) Get a Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack (CRCR) from Palin in Maia (you need to have unlocked him) - if you don't have a CRCR then the UP/UA will attack your ship
2) Find a UP: You need an ammonia world from particular locations - here - look for Degraded Emission [Threat 2] USS around it. Get to the distance in the 5th column, go to speed between 210 & 350 km/s (see this post) and wait (maintaining distance approximately) - will probably take at least 30 mins to spawn (other similar methods here, here and here)
3) Find a UA: Easiest to find at the alien crash sites (which are not the same as the wreck sites! - search FP (you are on it :)) for 'Alien Wreck' or go to HIP 17403 Planet A 4 A Coord: -34.96 / -141.37. Alien Wreck markers are bugged so don't bother trying to follow them to the wreck.
4) Go to site 5 (HIP 14909 2 A Lat: -26.44 Long: -27.47) land near the structure (Open makes it easier to find the structure as the whole site is huge and all the other CMDRs will be there). Put the UA and UP in the SRV Note: There is a bug with the UP so you cannot transfer it to your SRV (transaction error) - you need to jettison it from your ship & scoop it back up in the SRV
5) Now the structure will open when you approach an entrance
6) Find a side-room (towards the outside of the structure - there are multiple - here's a map). Unknown Links will spawn. Shoot one down for later. You don't need the UP to get the UL, so you could place that first and avoid having to come back for the UL. If the UL does not spawn relog and it should work.
7) Go to the central chamber. There are green squares on the floor - drive over one and the swirly lights will indicate which item matches (one each for UA, UP, UL). Reverse into the bay with the green square and jettison the appropriate item. Repeat for all 3 (you need to go back and find the UL)
8) Scan the central column to see what happens
9) You should now have 3 messages, you can decode the spectogram in them - maybe.

Original posts here:
Path to first Large Wreck Site :

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

Path to 2nd Large Wreck
Listening Post Pleiades Sector IH-V C2-5 1 C -> HIP 17125 A 3 (Megaship Victoria's Song)
Megaship

Path to 3rd Large Wreck
Pleiades Sector HR-W D1-57 (A3) -> HIP 17746 3C at 23,1 14,7 -> Pleiades Sector OS-U C2-7

Path to 4th Large Wreck
Listening Post at 42 N Persei (A 7) -> Megaship Pandora

Path to HIP 14909 (Large Wreck #5) (Interactive)

Found via triangulation of three listening posts:
Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4 Planet 3
Merope Planet 1 B
HIP 19072 Planet 4

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

Other Things


* You can sometimes get flower-ships visiting you after a visit to the active wreck
* Don't feed the wreck Ancient Relics, apparently they don't react well to The Guardians tech :)

Any chance of getting a latest Listening Post summary put somewhere less easily lost with a first page link to it.
Unless Factabulous intends to maintain that specific post of course

Oh, on another note here is the Vid of the 'repairing' Thargoid scavengers

Given that Factabulous constantly updates it, and I really cannot do this too, that's the only way.
A spreadsheet could be on the way, if only someone could take care of it ;)
 
Low level tin foil hattery...

--| = 1 (or A, or whichever first letter/sound the Thargoids have)
-|- = 2
-|| = 3

Continuing this pattern: |-- = 4, |-| = 5, ||- = 6, ||| = 7

Anybody know how many fingers the Thargoids have?
The same and similar symbols have been used by eg the UP (http://i.imgur.com/YawVY9G.jpg). I think they are significant.

Coordinates perhaps! Locations of relays?

I saw this post earlier, and just thought I'd add a layer to the tin foil.

--| = 1
-|- = 2
-|| = 3
|-- = 4
|-| = 5
||- = 6
||| = 7
--- = 8 or 0

And there we are. An octodecimal system for numbering.

Have you tried flying an SLF into the top of the building (didn't I see someone say there was a hole in the top)?
