Signals: 17, Sources: 16

Greetings,

I have a problem, which I can't solve (nor find it in the issue tracker or forums).

Jump -> Scoop -> Scan -> Ride -> Stop -> VSS -> Detected Signals: 17 -> bodies: 12/12, asteroids: 4.

I scanned every planet, every ring, landed where possible. One missing Signal Source.


Any ideas?
 
You're not the only one
 
No, nothing.

12 of 12 bodies
17 signals
4 asteroids

Seems to be an Odyssey thing. In the other thread that was linked above someone mentioned the issue isn't in the system (that was discussed in the other thread) in Horizons. Current guess is it might be related to the new thargoid thing in Oochorrs UF-J C11-0.
 
Someone at dev mentionned "Space".
I returned to Oochorrs UF-J c11-0 and there A LOT OF degraded signal sources WITH both icons salvage and exploration.
They are far (80k-150kls). I bet these signals are the remains of brave cmdrs who tried to hugh the anomaly :p

Wrong post sorry.

Everyone in Odyssey appears to be getting 1 extra signal, and that's been happening since roughly the time the anomaly appeared, so it's probably related, was happening before the last server restart.
 
Do ring hotspots count as a signal on the journal? it might be a hotspot from a ring and you didn't scan it.

You need to read the other thread, all signals appear in the nav panel so you can check them yourself, even systems with a single star and no asteroid clusters also get 1 extra signal, this isn't something there is any doubt about. And no, ring hotspots don't appear as a signal!
 
I noticed that each system is having 2 extra signals, I haven't played for a while, I don't know if it was like that

It's because of the recent flare anomaly (check your GalNet news). Each extra signal corresponds to one of the flares. It's likely that if we get any more flares we'll also see an equal increase in the number of extra signals detected by the FSS.
 
I am the author of the other topic about this. Over there we are pretty sure it is the Stargoids. Extra signal count has gone up to 3 after the last update. There is said to be 3 Stargoids. All signals appeared in conjucntion with the appearance of the Stargoids.
 
I want to go further and propose a theory

When the Stargoid appeared, the signals appeared
The signals are visible in the entire Galaxy
We have never seen this before
Conclusion, Thargoids do not originate from the Milky Way

And yes, I know...we never seen this before because the story now only goes this direction, but surely there is an ingame explanation..... like them being from somewhere else (other Galaxy.... heck go wild... other Dimension)
 
That's if the signals are related to the Thargoids. It's most likely that they are, but what if they're something else entirely?
Fair point but imo at this moment unlikely. Unless it is a bug they can't seem to fix (for which you would expect some mentions from Frontier) the correlation between the appearance of the Stargoids and the signals is to obvious to ignore.
Yes, I keep the option open it is something completely unrelated but I don't really believe that at this point.
 
I'm registered specifically to ask about this, but I see I'm not the only one to have this. On another sector of the galaxy, same "issue". 24 bodies, 9 asteroid, 36 signals. So 3 missing.
