New red-orange dot approaching the bubble at 0.8ly per minute-- Thargoid mothership?
- Thread starter Obsidian Ant
- Start date
I'm in line with UIA #3 but according to this:
UIA Vector Survey (Responses)
Go into galaxy map and search for the JG-W C2-0 star and set as target, honk, then point at that star and go to FSS. You should at least hear it. Since there's a few hours to go it might be too faint to see yet. According to Canonn, it's heading that way.
BTW, just got a tiny update on Steam before starting ED - haven't checked to see what it's for yet.
I am tracking UIA #1 and can confrim it's headed to Col 69 Sector KB-W c2-0.
The small patch appears to have fixed the unintentional side effect of making the Anomalies visible at long distances again, so you'll be looking for the tiny red splotch again

Yeah after yesterday's bright green thing in both the departing system and the arrival system, I kind of thought that's what the tiny patch was for (apparently not for the "crotch panel" issue causing a CTD). In the target arrival for UIA #3 and can only hear it. Will have to log back in in an hour to see if it's getting nearby.
OMG, you're right - should be 23:14 GST.
Note to Canonn: While we appreciate accuracy, we really don't need it down to the seconds.
<Spock: I strive for accuracy, Captain>
Just reposting this from the Raxxla thread as it makes (somewhat) more sense here.
So it's Friday, and I'm bored at work, and this (likely) isn't really Raxxla-related, but....
Using Canonn's nifty 3D map of the UIA positions here:
https://map.canonn.tech/route_uia.html
Is it just me or if you zoom out (waaaay out) it looks like all three might be coming from the direction of the Formidine Rift? And one of the three from the permit-locked sector(s) whose name(s) escape me waaaaay out on the other side of the Rift?
It is also interesting that when you zoom in, none of them seem to originate in any of the presumed-Thargoid home permit-locked sectors closer to the Bubble shown on the map in grey spheres (Cone Sector, etc.). This all of course assumes you can extrapolate to an origin from their current routes, which is a big assumption if they are doing weird living-in-hyperspace timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly things.
I don't think Drew is out there anymore, <sniff> (on the forums, not the Rift - well, both I guess) but he might find this amusing if correct. Bit of a backhanded tribute of sorts maybe?
Edit: Also thinking back to the Formidine Rift logs and the mysterious signals detected and noises heard, and something "immense" being out there....
Edit: Bovomit Sector was the name I could not remember. It's been a while. It is still locked also. Interestingly, it is not on the Canonn map of permit-locked regions here, I guess they are still recovering from being hexedited... https://map.canonn.tech/permit-data.html

Maybe the reason that is a rift in the first place is because whatever is there (and might be coming this way) has snuffed out the stars.

Something is coming, don’t know what it is, but it’s bad and it’s all being hidden. All this weird stuff far out in the void? It’s some kind of contingency plan. The answer to why and who is back in the core, not out here. That’s where l’m going next. Wish me luck.

Sure, that may be where they are going (although I am not convinced of that based on the Canonn calculations and plotting, still too soon to tell) but I am talking about where they came from... which for an explorer who couldn't care less about pew-pew and the fate of the Bubble, is far, far more interesting.
I had a good laugh when a NPC pirate in a Anaconda chased me in a SC, until I dropped just next to my carrier, and opened fire when I were already inside no fire zone.
It were glorious short fast couple bursts from just one of my carriers cannons, and NPC Anaconda were instant wreck with glorious explosion, that I managed to see at the right side of my cockpit with a head movement.
There are two things in life you cannot avoid
Death and
Oh ... and Jehovah’s Witnesses...
There are three things...
Passes star at 6:49 (11:41:29 game clock time)
I was positioned 0.2LY from main star so passes me smoothly and slow

Thank you for sharing this. Looks like they fly completely smooth now
That thing is in supercruise.
I want that ability to cross system instances in supercruise!
There are five!
