E01-Type Anomaly, Phooe Auf HV-I c24-0

[Qildail]

While traveling round to visit some older POIs, I discovered what I believe to be the first catalogued/codex entry for an E01-Type Anomaly in Phooe Auf HV-I c24-0, near Body 2.

There were three instances of this anomaly in the same NSP. All three were this yellow wisp-style. They were accompanied by Purpureum Metallic Crystals and Flavum Metallic Crystals in the same space. The anomalies would scramble sensors on contact and generally drifted away from a stopped ship regardless of angle of approach, but otherwise showed no other reaction or interactions. I did not have research limpets on-hand for testing.

Credit to CMDR Highwaywarrior as the original (pre-NSP) system discoverer.

Nice one! There's not many new discoveries being made these days!

This might sound dumb. Try turning on your headlights within 200m of it. This triggers a reaction from some anomalies.

Be ready to potentially pop a heatsink or reverse quickly though.

Example of what can happen (Note: I had three anomalies within 200m then, so all of them lit up to cook me)

canonn is already on the way

Congrats! Months since the last codex addition (I think, Marx will know )

Edit: I am a bit confused as that system is named in EDSM, so presumably was well known before Wonder why it wasn't spotted before..

might have not spawned. or the cmdr didn't check for NSP.

True - the anomalies are often small and easily overlooked. But to get an EDSM name it must have more than 1 person visit. Could also be that fdev 'fixed' it so it reported correctly, though most are still broken, so you're guess is more likely. It's not the most popular area

Edit: I wish Anthor wouldn't block new finds from the EDSM codex, or that would have recorded any previous visits...

Now.. research limpets... Will they work?

Dammit - I just brought an alt back from near there collecting Pod samples ...

Darn, outstanding find.... these days, it's exceedingly rare for new Codex discoveries to be made. Good job!

This time around, it was only weeks since the last Codex addition instead - K09 Anomaly back on Nov. 22. But then, before that, the last one was a Q07 Anomaly back in February.

The last time there was something entirely new, and not just a variant of existing stuff was, um... Aster pods and trees in 2019 March, I think.

Edit: I am a bit confused as that system is named in EDSM, so presumably was well known before Wonder why it wasn't spotted before..

Simple: nobody was there and scanned the anomalies. I think it's quite likely that nobody was there at all, since it's somewhat out of the way, and, not to offend the original discoverer, but it looks like an entirely unremarkable POI. One that the current GMP team wouldn't add, citing notability as the reason. But, ironically enough, since Frontier did manually add the NSPs here (they've used the GMP for this end surprisingly often), now the system does have some notability.

Also, "But to get an EDSM name it must have more than 1 person visit.": there's no such thing as an EDSM name, it's the GMP (see this thread), a separate project, and there's no rule there about having to have more than one person visit the system.

That's pretty easy to explain. It's an "older" POI that was named well before NSPs were introduced. I was plotting directly for it, but the fact it'd been sitting there all that time comes down to blind luck.

not to offend the original discoverer, but it looks like an entirely unremarkable POI.

No offense taken. In fact, the discoverer in this case is pretty unremarkable too.

I think even if you go to the NSP it's easy to overlook things in it. I once thoroughly searched a NSP and only found the crystal things, even though anomolies were reported. I tried again, still no joy, third time i decided to go way off course and finally found some.

I think you misunderstood me: I didn't mean you, I meant the original GMP POI and the one who discovered it. Here's the full quote for context:
"not to offend the original discoverer, but it looks like an entirely unremarkable POI. One that the current GMP team wouldn't add, citing notability as the reason. But, ironically enough, since Frontier did manually add the NSPs here (they've used the GMP for this end surprisingly often), now the system does have some notability."

To reiterate: I was talking about the original GMP POI here. As far as I can see, it's a common geological site.
But since then, easily finding such sites with the DSS has led them to be common, so the system's entry would be a good candidate for archival - but there are now some NSPs there, so it's all good. Although the entry should be modified to include this information.
