The Black Flight mystery

you are looking to be hyperdicted going in to hip 22460 by group of 3 thargoids, so far all cmdrs have the same story (including me), they wont attack but if you stay one of them will ram in to you and this will trigger their attacking you. I don't think one of them ramming in to cmdrs ship is intentional (this maybe a bug). I think they maybe trying to communicate. so far we know group of 3 thargoids include 1 basilisk and no one was able to identify other 2 because of that crazy basilist keeps ramming in to your ship and this happened to every cmdrs I spoke with coming in to hip 22460 for the first time.
I was hyperdicted somewhere in the area, but they didn't do that at all, and the Thargoid was alone :)
 
One waked out but the second stayed. Didn't ram me and every time I tried to get to get close to it it backed off, keeping a distance of just over 500m. It then shadowed me for a good few minutes as I tried to boost away to break the mass lock with the FSD charging. Showed no aggression.
 
I never been hyperdicted by 3 thargoids before, always 1 or 2. that is why few cmrds I spoke with all agreed this may have something to do with bronze site and thargoid ship they were experimenting on + one of human objects they experimented on escaping. That one human object survived thargoid ship initiation and then he was helped to escape. Could that be him flying thargoid ship escorted by 2 basilisks ?

This story line has echoes from the T James novel "Out Of The Darkness"

Central theme / plot was around one 'less aggressive' faction of Thargoids (Oresians) working with a human scientist uses augmented human subjects to learn better combat skills against the other, more agressive, Thargoid faction (Klaxians).

Main theory is that we have so far encountered the Oresians, who have potentially been pushed towards us by their civil war with the Klaxians. (And vice versa, we've been pushing out into their 'territory' ...)

Oh, and to clear something up from earlier in this thread: The Thargoids aren't worried about humanity at all. They could wipe us out in a flash if they wanted to. The whole mycoid virus thing was considered to just be a 'minor skirmish' to them.
 
It annoys the hell outa me.

Edit: also in the Fort there are several data points that give nothing and there is also a "server" stuff that cannot even be scanned
Was it just me but the server was popping and fizzing but I’m sure there was a faint beeping like morse code. Also thought I could hear faint voices but not 100% on it. Also in system the fss threw back a single threat 4 non human ss. Threat 4 should just be scouts and it was on a timer so probably nothing. Wondered if anyone checked it out. There may be wreckage there.

I think that's just scenery - they've had similar "server banks" at a few tip-off sites for years which don't do anything in particular.
well, yea, but why make it targetable, with running red lights like a data beacon?
that's a bait (insert mad max meme)


Edit:
in other news... i thought they fixed mega-ships cargo bays? or have i dreamed?
I've seen some Thargoid probes in Overlook's cargo bays, but they're stuck in there. None of the cargo bays are releasing any cargo 😒
Escape hatches are working tho, not 100% but most of the time - got almost 100 escape pods, out of which 71 Occupied.

ok...guardian signal must be Overlook, because even if it is human, there is no human signal there and I think that ships cargo is guardian stuff...
@Northpin you can find 5 logs in Ash fort.
server bank voice is saying "this is a flight recorder, please return me to rightfull owner" and girls voice says "help me" we think it is not 100% clear.
morse code as one cmdr with a small morse code knowledge said repeats nr. "8", this must be still confirmed.
some cmdrs, I figured every cmdr carrying thargoid probe and sensor is receiving a Thargoid signal source [0] from inactive Thargoid base only but so far there is nothing anyone can do about this.
I think this story ends in hip 22460 for now, we will probably have to wait another 50 months for it to continue ;)

The morse spells out SOS (...---...) there is muffled radio traffic but I can't distinguish actual words.

EDH or EDO? Should work in EDO...

What do you guys think about this? Found on the server bank/flight recorder at Fort Asch. Coincidence?

The image on the left is the famous Thargoid spectrograph.

Well clearly the top planet is Fort Asch, because of the flower ships next to it which commanders have bumped into. The bottom one is somewhat easy as well if we use the top as information. It represents a planet valuable to all three super powers. The ship designs are three different ones, but not Thargpid flower ships, so clearly human designs, and since there are three, it must be the three super powers. The other two are star maps for systems that are part of the square between Fort Asch and this other planet we have yet to find. Online tools could make them easier to find, but who knows. Then it seems to suggest something is in between these 4 places, which could be what we are really looking for.

Hopefully this all makes sense.

Sorry, but to be clear, most of us are already pretty familiar with the spectrograph image - I'm interested in the fact that one of the symbols on it seems to be showing up on this flight recorder (in the red circle.)
 
the 3 ships on the bottom are thargoid sensor, thargoid link, thargoid probe, respectively.

Also in regards to the spectrograph you might want to check this thread. According to that the left system is Merope and the right system is Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3.

I have the same issue, probably a hash collision. You will find Hip 26176 at the following co-ords on the galaxy map
394.4375 / -323.53125 / -1431.84375
