New red-orange dot approaching the bubble at 0.8ly per minute-- Thargoid mothership?
- Thread starter Obsidian Ant
- Start date
It seems to be be heading in a strange direction now?

Once it passes OOCHORRS -F c13-0 we can get a measurement of it's speed. What is the current estimate?
Assuming 0.66 LY per hour, the anomaly should be there sometime during Monday next week.
we should measure when its halfway between UF-J c13-0 and CS-F c13-0 - then we get the max SC-speed of it.....
<<checks notes on clipboard>> Oh, that's been slated for total obliteration in 4 weeks. Were you not advised?
Oh, well, they should have notified you last Thursday. Sorry for the mess.
Based off observations from OOCHORRS YL-H C12-0 (which is a way off and roughly equal distance to the two stars) of its progress between the two systems it travelled 1/175th of the distance in 20 minutes, which is 0.33LY, so observed speed on that one measurement is around 0.98Ly/Hour
Another measurement another 20 minutes later agrees with this speed. The two stars are slightly different distances from the observation point which means its moving slightly faster than observed. So a rough figure of 1Ly/Hour seems pretty reasonable.
And that means another ~57 hours before it reaches OOCHORRS CS-F C13-0 if current velocity is maintained.

Just imagine what surprise it will be for all players who don't follow any in-game scenarii, those indefinitely doing PP stuff for instance.
Its been a heck of a day, Ive jumped away a bit toward the bubble, found a planet - no one else had walked upon. Ill keep my vigil here tonight, hopefully refreshed, tomorrow the search will continue. Stay safe o7 cmdrs.
dammit! I want Odyssey on Xbox.
guess, I'll do the transfer and wait until I get an up to spec PC.
I remember that on BBC and omega versions
My Carrier is 6100LY out. I got in my 56LY DBX on Tuesday evening and arrived in Oochorrs UF-J c11-0 late last night/early this morning after approximately 150 jumps...and I turned in about 7 mil in explo data, at The Oracle in Delphi, just from honking along the way...
As far as observed so far it is travelling from one system to another, so its not continuing in a straight line
I'm just the opposite - this is the most fun I've had in Elite since Spring, and I can't even see the thing myself because it's currently Odyssey-only. But I'm glued to this thread like the first season of LOST, and next rainy day I'll probably head back to the Bubble just so I can be in the neighborhood.
Out of all the things in Odyssey, I never thought it would be a slow-moving 2D sprite that would tempt me the most to buy it. Thankfully H4 is on the way.
