Now, this is a very good recap indeed.

I could find some space for it on the FP... ;)


HOWEVER:
five hours for a patch list that small does not convince me at all. Something FISHY is going on....

There's been an update?? TO THE SHIPS, PERCY!!!

Oh, wait, actually not, I'm at work still.

Was it a client update?

I am honoured to be of assistance! (But make it easily updateable, things change rapidly! ;))

I keep saying-any fishiness is just a consequence of the excess of salt farming! :D

But you've got to allow an hour for the servers to be updated,
four hours for QA testing & minor bug fixing
and 30 seconds for the Dynasty conspirators to inject some more!
(you don't still think that FRift base CTD problem was accidental do you? :rolleyes:)

Patch 2.3.11, 5 hours for a few bug fixes, definitely something more in there.

Conjecture:
- The sites are Thargoid wrecks.

Hence, what the UA / UP cannot be:
- They cannot be a design by the human race or a secret organisation.
It would be very hard to explain how the holograms have been designed to match these as well as the unknown device to accept them as valid devices.

Make any sense?

The first people we will be coming to kill and eat are all the people who keep calling them Wrecks or Crash Sites. The only thing that has crashed is your primitive monkey brain, simple humans. We may take our unknown ship by one of the sites today and get some Pictures of the grbleswa we marked on all the barnacles to prove it to you.

I haven't been able to see whether anyone discussed the apparent age of the UP and the UA.
The technology may be 50 years or older.

Facts:
- Unknown Site and the hologram displays the device you need to attach. The hologram is incorporated in the Unknown Device as part of it's software.
If the sites are as old as the last observed Thargoids, the UA/UP/UL technology must have been designed before any crash happened.

Problem:
- However, we still have no evidence of it being crashed ships. We may have evidence of the opposite since all sites are positioned in the same manner.
We have no observations over time whether it's decaying or evolving. We only have ingame messages which are conjectures from ourselves or other characters in the game universe.

- The sites are Thargoid wrecks.

I touched on their timeline a few posts ago https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...0-The-Canonn?p=5712004&viewfull=1#post5712004
but I think we have no way of confirming

Confimed megazord Thargoid made out of hype. (Dominic doesn't know the types that hang out in our forums :D )

Hi there,

Yeah, that was a little tongue it cheek...

It should be good but don't get yourselves too overhyped... It's not a power-rangers-esque megazord constructed out of hutton mugs...

Thanks,
Dom

Nope same old beige, same old list of outstanding mysteries to be researched:
DYNASTY Conspiracy (Salomé/Formidine Rift)
* Col70-Salomé's et al theft of 20t MA from Obsidian Orbital in an ancient Cobra, later distress call from ancient Cobra in Col70 & ship destruction, Col70 unknown permit locked & "relatively inaccessible", Wreaken/Sirius activity in Col70
* What happened to the MetaDrive Inc files that Raan Corsen stole?
* track down Dynasty/Exodus conspirators-follow the money trail?
* said to be missed clues in Old World tourist beacon messages (probably to the FRift mystery itself rather than Dynasty conspiracy)
CLUES/HIDDEN AGENDAS
* What is Palin really up to?
* Hidden signals within station spectrograms across the bubble
* Outposts of "The Missing"
* More generation ships
* Are there any more Unregistered Comms Beacons / local Galnet articles etc. pointing to other locations/mysteries we are not yet aware of? (e.g. DB's comment about "Numbered stations")
* What is the role in the storyline for certain rare commodities only found in space, e.g. Hafnium, Scientific Research, AI Relics, SAP 8 (are these still there)?
* The private data beacon wrecks - a problem has been discovered with FSDs and someone is trying to cover it up. Something also seems to be able to take over ship systems and some firmware updates contains malware - which might be how they do it.
* Something also seems to be able to seize control of systems in mining operations.
* The weird diamondback explorer S6:7 that was sighted (possible FD advertising pre-2.1 of engineering upgrades)
* Rare commodity - trinkets of hidden fortune have an interesting description and possible function.
* Medical convoys - comms about "the subject" are creepy. Is there a story behind them? Linked with medical research facility?
* creepy goings on at base with gravitational anomaly, corpse coming to life, (Listening Post in Col 285 Sector BG-O d6-93)
* Origin of Cerberus plague
ALIENS
* Unknown Things still to understand-Biological Items, Resin, Link
* alien cave/structure & flowerships from video
* Possible Barnacle locations in other nearby nebulae (e.g. the Orion Nebula)
* Are there any other kinds of surface 'life' that have yet to be found?
* What's are UAs trying to communicate with in Merope? Or what are they warning us of there?
RAXXLA
* The location of Raxxla, & what it is
GUARDIANS
* Possible additional ancient ruins
* What is the meaning of the ancient ruins?
* decode the ruins audio signal
* decode the ruins obelisk light patterns
INRA- related to Dynasty Conspiracy
* private military outfit (appears to be Pleiades Resource Enterprise) operating outside usual powers but reporting chain goes high. Monitoring for alien encounters & tech; people are going missing, being taken & experimented upon. Cmdr Hyford's two messages (LP at Colonia 2 & Neche 2A) leading to his T9 and data cache (Unstable Data Core, unlockable by Canonn R&D) at Colonia 5EA lat 39.1472 long 29.2425 (coordinates reversed?)

Premonition is a good read and has some of the answers, just finished it.

just mooching around while a bounty (unfair! I only had four unknown items on board, how come they're illicit-the Thargs didn't want 'em! and he scanned me three times and demanded I drop my cargo so what if I was a quicker shot than him, so what, and I just wanted to claim the bounty that PRE had awarded me earlier for that Anaconda, no need to shoot at me as I was landing, damn Feds/mercs) expires.

oh, what's that? I haven't seen one of those before! It's a ... ......

Ship's computer announcement: "Comms link broken, originating signal source expired"

Nice update to your previous list! I take it we're treating the Premonition answers as spoilers and treating all as unanswered for the purpose of the thread?

A few things to add of the top of my head:
- Guardians - there's a full list of open questions/areas of investigation on the FP (which reminds me, I need to update the 'Finding Melville's ship' item unless Rizal's already done so!)
- The Missing - there's two different kinds of Missing; A. those who set out on Generation Ships and things like that and haven't been accounted for, and B. other people, not from set A, who have disappeared/gone missing.
- Clues/lore in Tourist beacons. From the interview with Drew IIRC. Not related to Drew's stuff.
