Anyone found deep space regions with signal sources?
- Thread starter Eoran
- Start date
Came across two signal sources during my last exploration trip while returning back to bubble. A SSS at Swoilz FW-V E2-5 (appx. 1k LY from Sol) and WSS at Swoilz ZW-W C4-17 (appx. 600 LY from Sol).
You can imagine the speed I shat my pants when that SSS was revealed to be a pirate ambush of approximately 4-6 ships and I was flying unshielded, weight-optimized Asp with pretty much the worst afterburner you could fit. Could only get a screenshot from a moment before entering the SSS since the only thing I did after assessing the situation was pretty much repeated tapping of the afterburner button.
That WSS had six canisters of toxic waste floating around. I didn't bring the home. During that trip I checked several salvageable wreckages for one large and one small survey data cache.

Phew! Just managed to tear myself away from the Horizons beta long enough to reply to the thread 
Great work, will add those to the list.
Hey, finally our first deep (ish) space SSS data point!
Kudos for popping in to take a peek, and good to hear you made it out of there in one piece
Nice find though, other than the UA shell I haven't encountered any SSS that far out before. I wonder if it was just luck or there's more to be found in the area.

I just stumbled upon a salvageable wreckage signal a little over 8000 LY from SOL. It had single Small Survey Data Cache and what looked like the remains of a blown up Hauler around it.
System: FLYIEDGOU S-DB D26 (just out of the jump, in front of the main star)
Coords: -1000, -759, 7950
Game Version: 1.4

Nice job! I'll add those to the list.
They are the usual Salvageable Wreckages right?
HIP 83573 - Large Survey Data Cache next to Neutron Star. *Sigh* I really wish you could pick these up without it being illegal.
Something odd I just noticed when I was looking at the salvage. It is telling me that there is 2 unexplored places in the system and those are the close by stars that I had already explored. If you look in System Info, it shows tham as explored. Another bug I guess.

Right on commanders! I shall add these to the sheet.
By the way, I swooped by SWOILZ FW-V E2-5 after 2.0 release arrived and didn't find any SSS after about 10 min or so of flying around. I did find a SW in a neighbouring system though. Could be that things have changed in 2.0, or I was just unlucky with the RNG. Ah well, maybe another SSS will turn up with a higher spawn rate in future.
