Wow, I wish we had this much luck with the Dynasty Bases...

LOL I was thinking that too. Since I went out to the Hawking's Gap search area for that, the fact these don't have a flight of over 10K Ly to get to the search is also a bonus...

Good work from everybody on this and it seems like there's a massive lore dump going on from FDev via these bases. I've resolutely avoided looking at the logs on here, going to back to the general area tomorrow and catch up with things; I took my Cobra MK4 out to Maia on Saturday morning to get its drives looked at, next thing you know I'm getting messages from crazy professors and driving around alien structures. Strange weekend.

Nah let's be straight here - people didn't call you out for finding it fast, they called you out for not saying how you found it other 'intuition' which surely you realise is often a tongue-in-cheek way of saying 'LOL h4x', before vanishing from the thread and completely ignoring people when they asked you after you posted again. If somebody simply finds something fast I think most people are inclined to assume it was through credible means; I know I certainly am. It was the vagueness and the vanishing act that made people start asking questions.

Sorry, I'm really not looking to start all that up again but I'm screwed if I'm sitting here having it portrayed as something that it wasn't.

What am I looking at here?
Is this an INRA site?
And do we have transcriptions for the INRA logs yet?

Never mind found them:

Having found SDF ships around the planet but no base #6. I decided to fly back to INRA base #5. Using the coordinates, i .. unable to find that INRA site. I found the SDF Python and viper around the coordinates, but no base.
What gives. Are they disappearing? Maybe it's glitched out for some of us?
I'm at a loss. Even the planet had a dark square that didn't populate anything the closer i got.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the SDF ships are indicative of anything in particular. Unless they fixed it in 2.4 you can land on pretty much any planet anywhere in the galaxy and find these ships roaming around.

I put together a History of the Alliance from in game sources: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/365538-A-history-of-the-Alliance-from-in-game-sources

The TLDR on the Alliance and INRA is that a Federation / INRA agent killed Mic Turner (founder of the Alliance) in Pleone in the Pleiades in August 3252.


From the FFE Journals

[h=2]BEYOND THE EDGE. A MILITARY BASE??[/h] M.C.S
Reports from our undercover investigator continue with the revelations that Commander Mic Turner, the ill-fated explorer, had unquestionably visited an uncharted system North of the Edge shortly before the destruction of the ship 'Turner's Quest'.
It is alleged that there is a system, or set of systems that have been used as a Military Research Base in the recent past by the Research Arm of INRA, (the Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm - an undercover unit drawn from the Elite pilots of both the Federal and the Imperial Navies). The system is said to be currently uninhabited but there is, allegedly, a high degree of military surveillance maintained in the area- including a number of Military Defence Satellites.

If this is the case, it is entirely possible that 'Turner's Quest' was destroyed by either one of the Satellites or by the attack wing of INRA itself - working under the orders of one or other High Command. This would be the ultimate irony: Turner's life was devoted to exploration for both the Federation and the Empire and Mic Turner was effectively the only contemporary Commander to be genuinely trusted by both sides while being in the pay of neither. To have him die by the orders of both would not only be tragic, it would also represent a major breach of the intergalactic Law and the New Rossyth Shipyard management would be well advised to sue for full reparation.
It is said that Argent does indeed intend to commission a private investigation into the sudden and, to some people inadequately explained, death of an honoured friend.

Uh - Can't find it, but eventually they pin the murder of Mic Turner on a specific Fed Pilot

For site 4, I spent ages trying to locate it based on the coordinates given, but nothing was there... Until my wife sitting next to me realised that I was at 117.06, not the given 177.06.

Double, triple and quadruple check your coordinates... Then get someone else to look at it too.

Don't suppose it shows up as a POI circle on the ship's scanner?

Commander J. Saunders
INRA - SAUNDERS: A FANATIC WITH STYLE
M.C.S

The investigators working through the INRA files have finally reached the section referring to the work of the Counter Intelligence Wing, most specifically, the actions of the late Commander J Saunders. Saunders had flown for the Federation in battle against the aliens in the War of Mutual Misunderstanding and, after losing a close friend in an attack on an alien mother ship, had requested a transfer to INRA - then a small but select fighter squadron with a name for suicidal (but very effective) sorties against the enemy.

The new INRA Commander led a series of stunningly audacious sorties and promotion followed swiftly enabling the pilot to take part in major strategic decisions. Minutes of meetings held with senior research scientists at towards the end of the war show that it was Saunders who understood the degree to which the human forces were out-classed and who pushed the development of the anti-alien Mycoid. When the time came, it was Saunders who volunteered to lead the small group of fighter- bombers that swept down on the alien planets in the Northern Sector and seeded the mycoid across the surface, destroying the enemy ship drives. Of the two hundred ships that left to attack the planets in the two alien systems, only a handful returned.

Saunders was decorated for bravery (with good reason,) and promoted to head of the Counter Intelligence Wing with a remit to see to it that the aliens were never given the opportunity to return.

Did we actually scout the planet mentioned, to check there wasnt a USS?

I did a few loops of the planet, and hung round for a bit. Could have missed something obviously, but I would have that anything on a mega-ship scale would have shown up.

Personally I'm guessing it was just a typo.

Couldn't you simply re log to see if the poi is persistent, or fleeting? i know craters seem to spawn them regularly though.


BTW GREAT sound design from the bases.

Does make me wonder if the Flower Ships scooping Human escape pods suffer "corrosive cargo damage" if we are so much warmer than them

The more affluent goids have probably obtained human-resistant cargo racks from their researcher Frop Nalip ;)

Yup, especially the fact another base was found, again, so quickly, and then another, then another, when the latest planet was supposed to be A 2 D (non landable) but within 20 minutes it was found on a nearby moon...

Even if there were hundreds of players looking, the odds of suddenly just stumbling upon anything are MILLIONS TO ONE within that time frame - I DO NOT BELIEVE IT. Three in one night, then all of a sudden it dries up.

I mean, look at the groups or players accredited for finding them, below. Blatently, in my opinion, someone in one of those groups (all in comms with one another) has hacked the game files and they've just spread the load so it doesn't appear to be suspicious. It isn't like the first Ancient Ruin where the guy literally star charted everything from the trailer (gas giant and all) and then went searching on the right moon for days to find it. This time it stinks.
