Horizons Alien ship #2

Sunrise HIP 17862 6c a.

Artefacts at site are dead, crash doesn't appear to be to far removed from the present. Vessel parts aren't covered with any material. Ship appears to be organic in nature with joint-like portions, as if it was grown instead of manufactured. It is also green (photosynthetic?). Number of the parts appear to look like feathered wings. UA's appear organic but may have been cultivated to serve a purpose, barnacles produce meta-alloys but may be an organism. It could be that these ships may also be organic in nature.

Pure speculation of course, except for the dead UA's.

Great find.
I'm sure that was the camp site of some Alien Expedition.
I'm heading to SAG A with the GNE and our meetups usually end as seen in your screenshot [haha]

Remember what Ripley used to say: In space no one can hear you scream....

Excellent find! Is the ship on 6C or 6CA? I think I saw coordinates somewhere - approx -30,98. I thought I knew how to fly by coordinates, but I'm having a lot of difficulty doing so. What is your method?

 

[SimImperial]

that's a fantastic shot and discovery.

I was out there yesterday (in Solo, didn't want to get seal-clubbed).

HIP 17862 6C A
30.32 / -98.6

On approach it was night time in the part of the moon. Got to where the location should have been and had my ship scanned out of the blue. Nothing on contacts list but it happened just the same.

Landed, took the SRV out. I could hear the UA's calling out but couldn't find it right away (this was Friday night). Logged back in Saturday afternoon, the moon had rotated around so there was a little more light this time. Finally found the site. There's one "unknown fragment" in front of the main part of the ship, and three UA's still functioning (crying out), two more that appear to have their fins broken off and not making any noise at all).

I would suspect that if this crashed ship is NOT related to those UA's, it might have suffered the same fate as other ships that scoop up those things and got itself rusted from the inside, died and crashed, spilling it's cargo of UA's all over the place.

At least, that's what it looks like. Then again, as the OP stated, the ship may have been the one seeding these things out and something else brought it down (if not mechanical failure, then something more powerful than itself).

Thanks, Leadfoot! Great images of the ship! I bet it was seeding out the UAs and crashed for some reason. If this is a Thargoid, according to the history of the Human-Thargoid war, humans developed a bio weapon that was extremely effective against the Thargoids. Perhaps this one had been infected.

It is on 6 C A.

I looked on YouTube for help with coordinate flying. It involves flying around the planet and using the orbital lines and the compass, 0 north, 180 south, 90 east and 270 west, then use the positive and negative numbers on the lat and long to give you a rough idea where to start. You have to stay in supercruise, it's too slow otherwise. Only drop out of supercruise for final approach.

Landing the Conda took a little bit of work, the crash site is inside a very large and rugged depression (meteor strike?). I tried first landing on the depression rim and using the SRV, but the terrain and low gravity made navigation really difficult, plus the steep grades didn't help, so went back and took my time finding a spot by the wreck.

This was only the third time I've tried to find coordinates and two times successful. Videos are easy to find.

Just to be clear, others found this waaay before me, I just followed the coords.

Good luck!

Absolutely, Montsarrat was a great novelist and "The Cruel Sea" one of my favorite books in:re the Battle of the North Atlantic.

What other name could a Corvette have? Thanks for the rep.

Two crashed ships of the same class (at least it looks that way)

They look dangerous , hostile or not.
However... its what downed the ship that gets me. was it a human pilot (from the INRA , if they even are a thing) or maybe even another race , a more dangerous race (the guardians?)

I found 3 artifacts at the crash site, all alive. There were also 3 dead ones.
Don't tell anyone, but I'm logging the crash site and shooting the live artifacts for the fragments.
Hard to get those 25 fragments fro Palin, man.

You sir, may be the cause of an interstellar war! The aliens are keeping track of the destruction of their property and you are now on their poop list.

Just thought you'd want to know.

The ship could have had tech issues. There don't appear to be blast/burn marks, more that it came apart at impact. From the way the items are scattered in a small area, it doesn't appear to have come in at much velocity. So much speculation, so few facts, sigh.
