Could be that the megaship was simply adding to the 'misdirection' and secrecy. A submarine today may leave Port and spend a few days just plodding around in case theyre being watched and to hide the urgency of their mission (misdirection). Then they will rush to the target site, maybe open concealed orders and proceed from there. Also GalNet says passing by or through, so maybe the jump destination to see if anybody tailing them. So

Thargoids like systems with Ammonia in them. Have a look around and the FSS will tell you. DSS will pinpoint what and where. Current 'issue' with DSS & NavPanel, only shows StellarForge created objects like Geo & Bio from space, need to be in the planets space to see hand placed like human, tharg etc (normal or glide - worth testing if dropping from SC in space will find them? )
Unknown, perhaps infinite or effective infinite. If this one is the 3rd point in the triangle of comms to misdirect anyone as I believe then it completely changes how they work in my mind as they are 2 way and not just receivers. Either way we have evidence from this event that there was effective 'real time' communication (even if 24hrs delay and not instant) which must have been FTL comms which I dont think we had before, in fact we may have been told the opposite, but if it was the MIC (Military Industrial Complex later aka The Club) we civilians would have been lied to for many years so nobody would get salty over that and appreciate instead that we have new information we have uncovered about the conspiracy.....
