Ah, very good! I didnt see it noted on the front page when searching the coordinates so I thought I might mention it.
The site is lovely, very atmospheric and eerie. So many Scavengers buzzing around too.

Woo, finally made a discovery of my own, very chuffed!

Did you decode one of the messages? If so which one? well done
At what point does this become visible? Is it visible from Orbital Supercruise or do you have to be in real time for it to become visible? I forgot to take note of it when I visited the last one.

Thanks CMDR Greyarea for letting me in at Mel 22 Sector YU-F B11-1 AB 5A, and apologies for the stupid comments, this was a long day...
To my untrained eyes, this certainly looks like a mothership that is being repaired by the scavengers.

Yeah, and I've always been a proponent of the UA's being a combination of human and alien tech (primarily the humans reverse-engineering alien tech version, the same as you).
Currently though I'm going from FD's statement that the UAs are Thargoid.
Agreed on the questions.
To be honest, I couldn't tell that you weren't a native speaker!
I quite literally went a couple of systems away from another site, noticed it had an ammonia world, went to that world but they're all ice planets so went to the first rocky planet in the system and starting looking around in orbital cruise and noticed a green blob. Just luck I guess!
Oops, missed the word wrap
I wouldn't say that's luck. That's kind of the best way to go about it absent any direct hints or tips. They seemed to be condensed in this area of space. So bouncing around looking for ammonia planets and checking out the moons nearby is a good plan B

Yeah, I changed my mind after the map machine discoveries, Thargoids developed them incorporating our tech. Edited my previous post for clarity.

I predict CMDR NanoExplorer will be back on the thread soon, I see what he's up to

I like it! [yesnod]Spreadsheet lurking
I've decoded this.
from top to bottom:
Mel 22 Sector NX-U d2-31
Mel 22 Sector ZU-P c5-1
Mel 22 Sector YU-F b11-1
So that's my sig with 11 sites, FP on 9 and Canonn spreadie on ... 2 - slackers!
Hey, so what's this then:
It's from the sound received from base #9, happend to notice what looks like a data burst just after the image.
I slowed down the sound by half (0.5 speed) to try and transcribe the UL more easily, and the above jumped out at me - looks like the alien numbering system but not in any order used in the main message.
* I only recorded one message, the first one from base #9 Mel 22 Sector YU-F B11-1 AB 5 A before my link exploded (doh).
If someone wants to try transcribing, here it is

Databurst clearly visible here after the visual image.
I think It's actually echoed at different sizes/frequencies across the whole message (remember the comms technician's clue that started all this?).
Someone with some skill may be able to tweak the image/sound enough to get a clear reading.

Oh thank you ! I didn't find a way how to calculate the exact system yet. What are you using if it's not a secret ?
And looks like i have time now to decode more messages. Where i should go, since there are already 11 wrecks ? Or you have everything covered already ?

Are all the alien sites different?
There's not much point as the error is caused by lack of resolution. Think of it as the ULs saying "That system is 423 light years away" while in reality it's 423.4 light years away. That's an error of 0.4 light years but it's still the best we can expect from it.
The reason the errors were listed is because they're a quick way to figure out whether the measurements make sense. If the UL said "System is 321 light years away" it would make no sense for us to suspect it points to a system 320.2 light years away as that would give us an error of 0.8 (= 321 - 320.2) and we know the UL could do better. If it really meant the system 320.2 light years away it would have said "320", giving an error of 0.2 which is well within the margin of error caused by the available resolution.
