Hmm, maybe the UA shell is the Thargoid equivalent of a quarantine zone. IF (big if) all sites are displaying damage/infection inside the zone with a general reduction towards the outer shell, the active sites maybe outside the shell. I shall start some investigating.

at the time when the investigation took place, there was a gaussian distribution of spawn probability either in distance to planet (with maximum at Dist= OC + 0.0025x(SOI-OC) ) and cruise speed (around 220 Km/sec). Details see here https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/285900-Pleiades-Survey-Project /page2?highlight=pleiades+project+survey (spread over several pages). This led to the UP Hunters Manual https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...8-The-Canonn?p=4478415&viewfull=1#post4478415.
Recent observations (by several Cdrs., incl. me doing some 16h of circling all known UP Planets) point to two things
1. overall spawn rate (all type of USS) has dropped from 8-11 spawns/hour in former optimum distance to around 4 spawns/h
2. different to than (you had to leave the system) nowadays leaving the SOI and reentry seems to reset the RNG
With all these discoveries since waking this morning, I feel mighty proud of myself! 
Good job folks and keep up the good work!

Interesting idea. Would that mean the scavengers are perhaps trying to disinfect the sites?
Could you check whether there's an ammonia world or a gas giant with ammonia based life in the system?

There is yes.
Ok i don´t know if this has been suggested yet but all site´s so far show damage on thargoid Ships / Structures. I think this could lead to some kind of technologie or weapon that can give us the abillity to fight the thargoids.
Since the Active thargoid base interacts with the UA from the ruins, has someone tried using UL in the ruins?

The UL is gathered from the ruins (I assume you mean the wreck/base).
The most likely theory imo is that the sites are Thargoids downed by the mycoid infection.

THIS did I want to do yesterday evening when I was blown up (and therefore all my unknown items) by a real hero waiting for players in open to spawn (one could say basecamper
- poor soul). Will do that this evening if I manage to obtain UA, UP and UL (and UBM also). Wish me luck......
Moar sites! Well done everyone! I've been repping anyone I can while catching up
Hmmm... they're wrecks - but perhaps they are being rebuilt... The ones which are more complete are in a more advanced state of repair rather than a less advanced state of decrepitude.
Or, controversially (and in direct contradiction to how I felt yesterday) they are being built/grown in-place and what we have here is a proto stage of the final object?
Looking at the recent post giving all the distances to Sol - showing they're around 450LY-510LY away, you wonder if they're not perfectly placed...
Anyway, here's to another day of Science!
Good to see you old friend. Looking forward to speaking to you soon. [up]
Calculator online
Site 13 Data:
(0.153, 0.028, 0.963) => Mel 22 Sector TT-R c4-2 (Average error 0.023 %) = Site 15
(0.167, 0.043, 0.98) => Mel 22 Sector UO-R c4-2 (Average error 0.285 %) = Going to recheck this.
(0.144, 0.041, 0.945) => Mel 22 Sector NX-U d2-31 (Average error 0.031 %) = Site 8
Where is your calculator? Can I use it too?
Could you check whether there's an ammonia world or a gas giant with ammonia based life in the system?
The site is on one of the moons of a Gas Giant With Ammonia-Based Life
Interesting. Thanks.
If I was ammonia based life (goids) and I was going down in my ship due to Mycoid funk, I know I'd pick a system with something ammonia based in it to ditch into.
Maybe I'm missing something, but if these are all wreck sites, Then just WHAT is doing the wrecking? Shouldn't that be the worrisome thing? Especially as SJA has been chucklegloating over her accomplishments in 2.4? If this was done to themselves, then the question becomes: Who wants to insert themselves into a domestic violence squabble of this scale?
thargoid version of a space Loach........we are outgunned again
It looks increasingly likely that it was we humans that did the wrecking, using the Mycoid virus - in which case, if the Goids are returning, we're in for a world of pain
