Electra: Comm's Hub Zeta 12?

[Stealthie]

Oh, hang on....

The nature of this thread has just changed.

I was going to moan about being confused but I think I'm back on track.

Spoiler

I found a listening post that mentioned sending something to Electra.
I went to the Electra system and found Comm's Hub Zeta 12.

I found the 2 satellites, scanned 'em both and got nothing of particular interest.
I got attacked by a couple of DBXs and ruined their day.
I then set about scanning the 4 data-points and got the story.

The story said the super-secret information would be transmitted by the satellites at 10 past the hour.

This was where I started to get worried.
The satellites disappeared off my scanner after I scanned them.
I thought that, maybe, they'd power back up at 10 past the hour.
They didn't.
I thought that I might have blown it by scanning them at the wrong time.

So, I came here to start a thread asking about it and I was going to quote the information I DID get off the satellites.

Thing is, looking at the messages I got from the satellites, the text of one of the messages has CHANGED since I originally downloaded it.

I don't actually recall what it originally said but there was nothing useful in it.
Now, however, it's changed so it reads as follows:-

So, I guess that's where I'm headed next. [up]

None-spoiler version: Pay attention to the stuff you download. All may not be as it seems.

This is turning out to be bloody hard.

Spoiler

the trail leads to comm's hub PSJ-17 in the Celaeno system.

Dropped out of SC at the above location and got attacked by 2 Elite Anacondas and, literally, a whole swarm of Elite DBXs, all firing engineered weapons and missiles.

Got out with 2% hull remaining on my Cobra (which I'd decided to take for a spin).
Trekked all the way back to LHS 20, flew my Corvette back out there, had another go and that was when I realised just how fierce the opposition was.

The Corvette's lasers are powerful enough to take out a DBX in one pass and I thought I could win by getting their attention, letting them chase me for 20km or so and then turning around and whacking a couple of them.
That seemed to be working but then I had the bright idea of flying right past them in the hope of being able to take on the Anacondas before the DBXs caught up.

Trouble was, it turned out there's more wings of DBXs behind the first wave.
I swear, the entire top half of my scanner was just completely filled with red!

I can't believe that anybody's supposed to take on all these ships alone.
It's either intended for a group of people to fight them or you're supposed to do something else instead.

Just got my hotrod iEagle transferred to a nearby shipyard so I'm going to try and zip in and out before they can catch me.

Had a look on google and there doesn't seem to be any discussion of this, other than a couple of people saying the original message from the satellites is bugged.

Somebody else must've already done this and have some hints to offer, right?

Pretty sure these where breadcrumbs leading to the first thargoid wreck/settlement whatever you want to call them. Check the Cannon thread if you want more info
