Does FSS show any type of planetary locations?

[MarKr The Real One]

Hi,

I remember that once when I was in the bubble I scanned a planet surface with the DSS and it showed me something like "crash site" where I landed and found some Thargoid thing. I am now on an exploration journey about 4K LY away from the bubble and when I scan the system for planets with the FSS I can see that some planets have (mostly) geological sites, sometimes biological sites but I was wondering if the FSS would show such a crash site it there were any on the planet.

Do these "special" planet sites even spawn outside the bubble? If the system has been visited before, it would make sense that such sites might appear every now and then. When I was still relatively close to the bubble I ran a few times into USS which gave me blackboxes or some such stuff but once I got further away from the bubble signal sources dissapeared completely so I wonder if it is the same with planet sites too.

Mapping the planet will reveal whatever persistent POIs are there, including guardian & other alien stuff, presumably crash sites are a possibility.

AFAIK the FSS only gives geo or bio info, I've not found any other type of POI in unexplored space.

Fss will show Guardian and thargoid and human signals and obects on scan of planet but it will not tell you were on the planet they are..
Once you get to 1000LS distance the sensors on your Ship will Question what this signal is and put up a nav bar saying what the ? is this signal...
If you have the DSS you map the planet with probes and then it knows what it is and then you can ignore it if you don't want that locations item...

Now I don't now IF these POI are actualy even in the black of space at all but I expect a Google search will say a few one off items have shown up in the black to give people false hope but these were directly leaked with clues from frontier... After added...
4000 LY is not very far you are meant to do 5000LY just to unlock one of the engineers..

I think it depends on what they are. Some do some don't. I don't believe there's been a formal treatment of this, at least thats been suggested to players.

Yes, I know that mapping the planet with DSS shows POIs. I wanted to know if it is possible to find out if there are some other POIs than geo and bio through FSS - so that I could tell by the FSS that it is worth traveling to that world for something else than materials from geo POIs.

AFAIK the FSS only gives geo or bio info, I've not found any other type of POI in unexplored space.

That is kinda dissapointing but still better answer than nothing, thanks .

Yes, I know but 4000LY is usually enough to find some systems that have not been visited by anyone yet or run into some anomalies etc. I usually get bored after some time and want to return back to the bubble to cash the exploration data and start doing something else again so somewhere over 4000LY is usually enough for me.

The DSS also finds TIP OFF sites you have received from mission givers.

I don't know if it shows TIP OFF sites that other CMDR's have received because I haven't had the opportunity to check this, but it makes finding your sites much easier.

As GraphiteBG said,
FSS scan will show you all kinds of persistent POIs on the surface classified as either Geological, Bilogical, Human, Guardian, Thargoid.
You can be certain that if there's crashed Thargoid ship somewhere, you'll see THARGOID listed after the scan.
Same with Guardian ruins, or anything human, like abandoned bases, or crashed ships for example.
Those things do not spawn, like USS - they're persistent planetary objects.
