Questions about Notable Stellar Phenomena? How do you find them?

[VR SenseiMatty]

Since beta, so few months back already, I've never been able to find Lagrange Clouds or any other phenomena in space.
I'm not talking about the ones that can be found in the Codex, I'm talking about the ones that you find by yourself exploring the galaxy and using the FSS.

How do these appear on the FSS? Do you need to scan them like a planet or a USS or are these already remarked on the band of the spectrum?
Are these visible from the distance like a nebula and a planet or these are completely invisible in Supercruise and they appear only when you drop in?

I've only found one so far, and I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure they show up in the 'concentrated signal sources' area of the FSS tuner.

I found one yesterday in open space! They are found normally by FSSing and appear close to signal sources on the spectrum. When you zoom in the appear automatically (full white circle).


They are there and I consider it to be a good thing that you are not able to find them every couple of jumps. I found mine after almost 250 jumps on my way to the second bubble (Pyramid Sector somewhere)

Thank you! This leads to another question then.
So you see a point in the band spectrum but you don't know exactly what it could be... Maybe a megaship or a faming station right?
And when you look across the system with the FSS are these automatically shown in the open space (I guess with a text that says notable phenomenon) and if they are close to a planet you need to zoom to the planet region to see it? Is that right?

NP.

I definitely see a point in the band spectrum. Because you can search for what you are actually looking for. Signal Sources, ELWs etc. If you check your band closely, the Stellar Phenomena are somewhat closer to the right compared to signal sources I think. But once you enter a system it will show you with the pike that there is something. Once you zoomed in on it, it then says Notable Stellar Phenomena or whatever it is...

Hope that helps. I for example travel through the void and from time to time start to specifically looking for things I want to find. I jump, I check FSScanner, I see no signal source (i.e.), I jump on.

BTW: Has someone found an Anomaly yet? The ones with pictures in the codex next to the LG-Clouds...

They do sometimes resolve if you scan a
nearby planet with the FSS....
iirc they also pop up in the Nav panel...

They’re pretty hard to miss if there’s one in system...
