Errr..found this today, and some stuff it had with it. Not seen anything like this, described as a 'non-human signal'.

Thargoid sensor fragments is what remains after you've blasted it to bits. Can be collected as materials, takes up no weight unlike the Thargoid Sensor.

Thargoid eh? Interesting. I liked the way it changed color from blue to green. I lifted the fragments and took them as booty. Still, made for a novel event. Thanks CMDR's.

I see at least one post a week about those. They are all over the galaxy. It's not a new thing, sorry.

Just curious about it, i 'm an explorer so don't spend a lot of time in the bubble, so to me it was a curiosity out here in the dark....hahah. Shame, thought it might be worth a new ship... ah well. :))

Next time, install on phone "spectrogram analyzer" / "waterfall". When you see that things put it's sound to phone with that program. You will see you and ship, and system map ;)

that doesn't work on the non human signals on planets. They're crashed and dead.

I am sure but I'd encourage you to go find one and see for yourself. You only find living ones around thargoids but those surface signals are galaxy wide.

Adding to that, these downed ones on planet/moon surfaces cannot be shot and destroyed for sensor fragments. Partly because (and this is just a probable guess) they already spawn sensor fragments to pick up before needing to pull out any guns.

Used this for my alt to get them while I was doing an unlock trip for Palin *could have gotten an unclassified relic yes, but wasn’t too bothered about it to do it the fast way. Just set course for a slightly distant (procedural) B class and made a few discoveries along the way, but mostly neutron hops.

Anyway. Yeah, nothing new sadly and it mostly acts as confirmation of something that should already be fairly obvious, that Thargoids have indeed been relatively all over the galaxy.

That's not how the Sensors work.

If by "System Map" you mean this, Thargoid Sensors have nothing to do with that. You get that image by honking your disco scanner next to a Thargoid Probe (not Sensor), causing it to emit the shutdown pulse.

You won't see your ship in the spectrogram near a Thargoid Sensor. Thargoid Sensors emit a stylized morse code, so all you'll see is audio "pulses". Decoding the morse will be either:
  • Coordinates to draw a wireframe version of the ship you're flying, if you're in your ship nearby.
  • Morse encoding of the name of the celestial body you're currently on, if you dismissed your ship.

And, this will only happen if you're near an active Thargoid Sensor.

I assume all the new ships haven't been added and don't get the wireframe response...

Heh, questions like that will come up quite frequently in the future as new players come into the game who weren't around for the war and stumble upon these things.
