We may have found something on the Thargoid Data Gathering Thread, but we need more "boots on the ground" to gather more data.
Anyone at a loose end and looking to prove/disprove something that might be important in understand the Thargoids, head on over here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...d-your-help!?p=6140490&viewfull=1#post6140490 and read down to get the idea. It would be great if you could also grab LCU's EDMC plugin from the front page too.
Basically it's this:
People have always assumed NHSS appear throughout the 150-ish LY shell centred on Merope - with one exception, Merope has no NHSS spawns.
Yesterday we realised it's not just Merope, it appears to be several surrounding systems as well - apparenty creating a small "dead Zone" bubble approx 10ly in radius right at the centre of the UA shell.
A few of us have managed to spend some hours trying to find NHSS in several of these systems, but there's 24 we need to check in total, plus getting verification on the ones we've checked already. We're working under the rule that if no NHSS appear within 30-40 minutes of constant SC in a system, you can scratch it off the list and call it a Dead Zone.
Once we've figured out which systems are "dead Zones" we want to try to figure out why - so far the dead zones appear... random. Some have a huge human population (relatively), at least one has an AEGIS base, at least two are empty of all planets, etc.
