Human Signal Sources

[_Dastardly_]

Hi,

I've been trying to find new things around the bubble and have been exploring settled but unmapped systems. This current system I am in has a planet that the FSS shows Human (2) for contacts, I went to the planet and scanned it with the surface scanner to 100% but it's still not showing any contacts. The Nav panel (no filters set) shows just the planet and 2 conflict zones in space. The surface view of the planet shows a completely empty planet, no settlements etc.

Do I have to do something else or is it bugged in some way ?

Dast.

I would say that those two conflict zones are your Human signals. I have found that, in settled systems, megaships, stations, tourist beacons, resource zones and CZs all fall in the Concentrated Signal Source band. Only the stations will be already resolved and ready to access through the honk (or perhaps just by entering the system, sans honk). The other signals will resolve when you focus in on the planet they're associated with.

They are not concentrated signals though, they are contact locations directly on the planet, the same as geological locations or settlements etc.

What AndrewCrisp said.

You scan "the planet", but the signals refer to things in orbit of the planet as well. It's a bit non-sensical.

You'll find unlandable bodies/gas giants will also show up with "signal sources" which refer to the things in orbit around them.

e.g from another thread, this body is unlandable, and the two "guardian" signals refer to the Eagle Eye Two outpost and Listening Post in orbit around it (It's a bug they display as guardian). The Other (1) is also a bug; as there's nothing that seems to corroborate to that.

I have bug reported it, it does not make sense. Maybe they can fix it
