Frequency Array Diagram

I just arrived there after a bit of buckyballing :p The phenomenon popped on my Nav Panel after the honk, no need to open the FSS. That's something.

It depends how close you are I think, the first one on entry appeared for me, it was quite close to me around the primary star, but the others are around one of the secondary stars, did they appear on first honk? I'm sure I had to find them using the FSS, but once there they remain in the nav panel. I think it's like the USS's, you can either find them using the FSS or get close enough and they appear.

Just to add that after checking about 15 systems I have found another Lagrange Cloud, this was classed as a different type, so far each coud has had its own entry in the codex with its own unique life forms, I wonder how many different ones there are?

Lagrange Clouds, I will check records and see where they come in on the frequency scale.

Appears to be this one;
Ah! I’ve been tuned to the USS range all this time. Guess I’ll go have another look through the Pleiades again.

Thanks!
 
Ok, so I didn’t find any clouds in the Pleiades. The codex says there are two in Shinrarta Dezhra so I flew back there, and they’re nowhere to be found.

Interesting. I had one pop up on my nav panel, it was one of two on the secondary star, 86kls away. After using the FSS, I got the second one there and the one back at the main star... *thonk*

Yes strange, I think from what was stated some of these things are supposed to appear for all CMDRS once in the codex, not sure if the Lagrange Clouds fall into that category but it would make sense if they did. Currently I am not sure if the codex is working as intended though, some of the discoveries I have made appear there, but others slightly different but in the same category don't, so maybe the far one was already in the codex but the others hadn't gone in correctly and thus weren't available for all players. Well it is the beta, that's why we are here, hunting bugs!

Indeed :)

Btw, if you're still in the vicinity and want to hook up this weekend, Dr Kaii and myself will be filming some footage for the DW2 trailer video. Mo' ships the merrier.
 
Do terraformables have a special signal? I like exploring to find potential new homes :)

I've looked out for this but not that I know of. The waveforms on the bar don't seem to mean anything and there doesn't seem to be a correlation between the pattens and the terraforming abilities of a body.

Oh well, at least it will end up showing us much sooner if it really is terraformable with the fss.

I will be in the nebula somewhere but not sure what times I will be on. After finding another three L Clouds it appears to be a variation of around four types of life with a larger variation of colours. When looking for them filter on star types O B A F as that seems to be more productive.

This is one of the things I would like to see changed, or added as it were. The only way to tell if it is a terraformable after FSS is to go to the system map body details. I really think it should display on the FSS system details.
 
I'm confused about scenarios on that bar. If I tune the frequency to the scenarios area, directly over one of the scenario circles that I can sometimes see - how do I then find that particular scenario in the FSS skybox? I've looked everywhere in a number of systems that show things in that part of the frequency range but can never find them.

I have had the same problem. It seems that more massive objects mask the signal you are looking for. So if you are tuned to a rocky world and it happens to be a moon of a gas giant, you won't see it. The arrow patterns will only show the gas giant. And you can't zoom in on the gas giant to see it's moons, unless you are tuned to the gas giant.
It's annoying. IMO the tuning is an unnecessary step making the whole process overly complex. We have computers that should be able to auto-tune to whatever we are trying to zoom in on.
It would be easier to cherry pick the planets you want to scan if it ONLY showed the arrow pattern you are tuned to.

Is that the deal? That the scenarios are inside other signal areas (which need to be zoomed into before the scenarios can be seen), rather than being free floating signals around the system like the other USS signals at the bottom end of the range that you CAN find this way?

That still seems strange tho' because, if you're tracking a rocky world signal that's hidden inside a gas giant signal then you can follow the arrows to that can't you? and then zoom in without having to re-tune to the gas giant's frequency first?

What I'm now thinking is that scenario signals are automatically resolved immediately after the honk so, unlike undiscovered signals which have spikes on the waveform and arrows that can be followed, they have neither.
 
I think I misunderstood "scenario". I have no idea what that is.

In my example I used a rocky world as an example since that's what I have experienced and spent an hour searching for it to see if I could scan only a single planet. In the end, it was hidden under another planet, which means you can't just scan a single planet in a system.

What exactly is a "scenario"? An object? A mission of some kind? A USS?

No you can't. At least I can't. The arrows for the rocky world are not visible and I can't zoom in on a moon system without being tuned to it. But maybe I just don't know how.

If there is no spike on the frequency spectrum, then it's already resolved and should show up on the nav panel or system map

I believe that like USSs, Scenarios can be anywhere in the system, so sticking to orbital planes will leave you little chance to find them.

The Lagrange Clouds show up in the scenario section of the wave form guide, if you tune to that section and wave your circle along the orbital path arrows will appear pointing you in the right direction when you get close enough, they are usually what I call a top level signal, so minimum zoom, follow the orbital line until the arrows appear. They wil be on the orbital line because they are in Lagrange Points which have to be on the orbital line of some celestual body, be it planet or moon or even dwarf star in prbit around the primary.

Other scenario situations I don't know because I doubt if many will pop up all the way out here.

Oh yes that's how I skip all the asteroid belts, I leave it tuned to asteroid belts as I scan and if I see three arrows that will line up I ignore the blue signal .

That's the best I can do for now until I actually start bumping into other scenarios.

I think all resolved signals should still show a spike in the frequency spectrum, refer to my posted image, that was a resolved signal, and yes it did also show up in the nav panel, but it still shows in the frequency spectrum. I'm not sure about USS's because they do time out and vanish so maybe they are different.
