Questions for experienced Salvagers.

Off-topic and shameless "call for help" kind of post:
As I suppose that quite a number of "experienced Salvagers" have visited the "Hyford's cache" crashed ship site in Colonia (in order to get the quite unique commodity "Unstable datacore" available there) I invite you to confirm the related bug report about absence of anything scannable on that same site.

And sorry for off-topic.
the issue raised being https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/21259
 
Has anyone had any luck with the "time capsules" at Algol recently ?
I read earlier in the thread that they should be in a Degraded Emissions [Threat 0] with "double Icons".
Have been to the system 4 or 5 times now and I have waited hours in the system scanning USS.
Not had a single Degraded Emissions with double Icons, only lots and lots of single Icon ones.

If someone else has had the double recently Ill just put it down to bad rng and continue waiting.
If nobody has been able to get the Time capsule there recently maybe its no longer working or has been removed.

I have found some additional earth relics in Algol just now. No 'double icon' USS but a USS that did not resolve. Neither did it have a timer.

I had 5 earth relics in there and a idle cobra

And a awesome paint job!

Any references to Cetus bane?

So did some searching and came up with this:

same for me. no time capsules over half a dozen visits since fc update, also went with horizon and no horizon game.
 
Do you mean that time capsules were in algol at some time of the game?

The following quotes are from Koben, taken from page 1 of this thread. My question about Time Capsules was based on those posts.

This works fine for me... as follows:

time capsules,
Earth relics, Algol system on a permanent signal source
USS for time capsules are a random Degraded Threat 0 with a compass+canister symbol attached to its label on your ship's left panel.

So....
They used to spawn in Algol and dont anymore?
Koben was mistaken?
I (and others) misunderstood his post?

It could be anything really, I was just after some confirmation that I am not the only one, who cannot get them in Algol at DegT0 with double icons at the moment.

What is of note is that the Compass and Canister he mentioned is also the way to find Large Survey data in none occupied systems.

When you say "additional".
Do you mean you found "Legal" Earth relics somewhere other than Algol ?
Just wondering as Algol is the only location I know for "Legal" Earth Relics.

My Unstable data cores appear very unstable and changed into Out of date goods..

Any idea how to keep them just 'unstable'?
 
I'm at Hyfords cache at the moment but I can't seem to get close enough (trespassing warning) to use my limpets from my ship to collect the UDC. Is there a trick to this?
