Another one? An Allied megaship from Witch Head also showed up in PMD2009 48 recently. I can't fathom any reason for Frontier to deliberately make this change, nor any mechanism that might have caused it to happen unintentionally. With this, it leans slightly more towards intentional...but it's still really weird for them.
Incidentally, the PMD2009 48 megaship also appears to have changed type from when it was added, going off an old video where it appeared as a cargo ship but is now a science one. I have decided not to think too hard about this.
It's similar to what you've described, no log, otherwise...not a lot to do with it. No events because right now the controller of PMD2009 48 isn't in any states that would trigger them.I'm going to give the other one a visit. Falcon's Watch appears to have changed the type, too.
That's one explanation at least. But don't megaships usually get attacked and change state, when a Thargoid attack happens?The megaship in PMD2009 48 appeared after the Witchhead Nebula was attack by Thargoids.
If unintentional, we suspected they were moved the same way fleet carriers are shifted when Thargoids invade a system. It's very strange, but we are seeing some strange reactions in the PMD system since this happened as well (game system mechanics, not directly lore related).
