Yes, I know: It's Galnet, probably nothing, but odd story anyway

C'mon, everybody knows the crew is probably hiding in some cargo-smuggling holes inside the ship. They're trying to shut down the stations t̶r̶a̶c̶t̶o̶r̶ ̶b̶e̶a̶m̶ mass lock.
 
Possibly a transaction server mismatch?
They all crashed to desktop but the ship hadn't logged out yet.
Illuminati.

Would have been more interesting though if, along with the pads and com devices dropped on the floor where they once stood, their clothes were left on the floor as well.

Where was TJ when this happened?

Not having been invited to one of Consuela Knight's parties, I am unable to ascertain if the absence of clothing is noteworthy.

S.C.O.D.

Sudden Compulsory Orgy Disorder is a serious issue for people that haven't had their needs met in space for long periods of time.
 
One big point is missing here....

It landed at the starport with no one on board.

So no one requested permission to land!

Why the security forces did not shot it down for trespassing the air lock??? [down]

Crew Missing from Celebrity’s Starship
10 JAN 3305

A luxury star yacht belonging to famous actor Consuela Knight has reached its destination with nobody onboard.

The incident was reported by independent newsfeed The Sovereign:
“Consuela Knight’s beautiful ship often attracts admirers when it arrives at a starport. But on this occasion it also brought security forces, since the custom-built private yacht was completely empty.”

“Investigators discovered that the ship was in perfect condition with all escape pods intact. There were signs of recent activity, such as unfinished meals and handheld equipment on the floor. Computer records confirmed the crew's presence until a few minutes before arrival, when all five people – including Ms Knight– simultaneously vanished.”

“Engineering and hyperspace experts have begun analysing data to unravel this mystery. But there is no reason to believe there are any survivors of this phenomenon.”

So, transporter beams confirmed??? :S
Also, what does a luxury yacht look like in-game?
And WHERE was Mr. Null at the time this took place?

You should bug report it.

I don't say it's Thargoids, but it _is_ Thargoids.

Where do you think your ship goes when you're driving your SRV? :D

Scheduled celebrity access. They booked their arrival a week before and arrived on time. The docking computer engaged because the throtte was on zero and it drifted into docking range after leaving supercruise. Makes perfect sense.

Possibly the transporter beams only transport organic material, leaving the clothing behind. Not in this case, according to the story, so they either beamed out or left the ship, dropping what they had in their hands on the floor.

In any event, I'm sure we'll see a follow-up story in a few weeks where they're all found on some small base somewhere with (conveniently) no memory of what happened to them.
 
I suspect the simple truth is that the occupants of the vessel had recieved the news of Ed Lewis's departure and were so distraught that they took it in turns to space themselves.

If not this, they were probably all converted to their constituent atoms by faulty designer nano-meds....

Interesting.
I wonder where this is going.
 
Elite Black Operatives

The ship was attacked by small drones which were able to jump into the ship. This means very much precision technology and I have not seen such type with any Thargoids.

This is more likely the Guardians technology if they have evolved OR...

Ridicilous enough it points out more to even Raxxlans which pretty much hate us humans due to Dark Wheels lovely mess in their home galaxy. They are very much linked with teleport technology.
Well teleport is a bit wrong word for it, but they create tunnels in space which they can jump through. So indeed, we have the reptiles knocking at the door.

I think this event was accident, they did not want the attention... I feel like their scout service accidentally hit an easy target to investigate but did not realize the public value of the target.

We still can not investigate this because they do not give out the system name.

Who is keeping the news reporter shut up to talk about the system in hand??? This is enforced situation, not a common news. These are intentional spills with agenda in hand.

Nobody trespassed... The scans did not show any kind of hostile parts in the ship so they let it autopilot in and land.
The incident did happen near the starport because... The ship had to come out from FSD... That is not autopiloted.
 
And this just keeps getting better...

Mystery of Missing Crew Sparks Rumours
19 JAN 3305

The disappearance of famous actor Consuela Knight and the crew of her luxury yacht has sparked a flood of rumours.

Independent reporter Flint ‘Firemaker’ Lafosse discussed the mystery on the Rewired news feed:
“The scientists say this might be an anomaly that only affects organic tissue. But that doesn’t explain the discovery of Consuela Knight’s half-eaten meal, does it?”

“Others think it could be a new Thargoid weapon that disintegrates humans while leaving ships intact. Or maybe the cultists were right, and the Far God has started snacking on individuals before it arrives to eat the whole universe.”

“For all we know, this has been happening to ships for years. Maybe it usually gets hushed up, which is harder to do when a big-name celebrity vanishes. Which of us might be next? Think about that next time you jump into hyperspace…”

Half-Eaten meal...

Yes, indeed. The food was vegetarian food. Organic but not good for predators...

Half-Eaten meal...

Well that just counts out all impulse type technology. Since the crew just disappeared they were targeted as planned.

Since the crew just "vanished", this means bending space time inside the ship and around it... And this points out the abduction happened in frame space. Not while flying in frame space, but while jumping out from it. That moment of time when the ship breaks out from FSD drive. The crew inside the ship goes through extremely slow time while the attacker has normal time running for them. The crew was simply "frozen" in the time while they were carried out from the ship.

.. yes I know what is going on ..

They are back.

Question is only... What do they want? - Do they want to reform a new alliance or to wipe us out? To be honest... I do not think they are here to reform an alliance... The last time we faced them they were angry for a good reason too... While we think we have found someone to help us ... They give a decision for the price... Nothing is free...

OK. You have one of us to speak for you... What do you want this time?

the follow up to this story is even weirder, galnet reported that people are afraid of hyperspace travel due to this celebrity disappearance, well duh, there's a growing massive goids attack in the main bubble already and has been for like a year or something? and people were oblivious with that? but a disappearance of this celebrity struck their nerve? WTFROFLMAOBBQ.
