He seemed to drop out of the forums (fora!) a couple of years ago.
Perhaps he’s playing SC?
Or gone back to wrestling

So anyone have some spare trinkets? Something I want to test...
Not me - I thought about trying to get them when I was out Seagull Nebula way, but apparently you can only get them by pirating cargo, which I don't do (for roleplay but also mostly because I suck at combat). I have 10 Void Opals now if you need any.
The FSS does not resolve ‘cold’ objects, smaller than 135 km radius.Update: Asteroid Belts & FSS & Close Range (1,000 LS)
Its been confirmed by 2 people now at least that the POI for the Megaship did not show up on the FSS even when they zoomed in on that specific Asteroid Belt. p50 of the Adamastor / Hesperus thread I posted above. Also didnt show within 1,000 LS like the old hidden objects, actually had to drop out of SC at the specific Belt to see it.
So things can be hidden in Belts that dont show on FSS, at least Megaship sized anyway, and its engine was active so not 'turned off' or silent.
Its doubtful imo (or is that hopeful) that Raxxla could be hidden in a Belt but now certainly not impossible now depending on what it is. But it is entirely possible that a low power station could be hidden there and if the Codex is believed then thats what the DW station is. So it seems that there may be more to the Belts than previously thought and things are certainly hidden there not visible from FSS or SC at all. Don't know the 'maximum' size of an object that can be hidden, may depend on the size and number of asteroids in the belt, but at least Megaship sized and in principle they could hide anything there and not make it appear.
At least we know now for sure one way or the other. The FSS is not 'infinite' as MB said and I understood it, it does not resolve everything, just 99.99%....and that 0.01% is possibly where the DW Station and Raxxla are. Still not certain but almost certainly adds credence to it as a good hiding place not to appear on scanners.
There may be other stuff out there as well in the Belts, but to reiterate, you need to physically go to the Belt and drop out of SC at each one to have a chance of finding them if they are there, there is no other way for the scanners to pick it up.

Objects in a cluster are the exception. Perhaps the hole count as one?
Our ships are a good example. Unless we turn on a beacon, they are ‘cold’enough to go undetected, in normal space.
The FSS can see big things and things with considerable emission. That’s it.
I miss Zoltan!
Goss? I know not of which you 2 are on about lol
Time to check everywhere again
Only belts or 'orbital cruise zone' dont show POI in FSS though. And maybe if one POI is in another POI eg Megaship visiting an Installation may only show as one apparently but still shows one.Clarified on Hesperus thread I got confused with MB comment, he was on about ADS not FSS, will edit original post. But thats good to know about size as well.
Sooooo has anyone looked at the logo of the Scriveners ?
The min radius is from empirical data. Nothing official from FD.Goss? I know not of which you 2 are on about lol

ADS had the same limitations.
Lord Zoltan was sort of a press secretary for Canonn, in the begining. Active and vocal.
Wrote a ton of Galnet pieces for Canonn.
He backed out, due to the work load. He might still be the administrator of the Canonn web site?
Lots of people have burned out and / or got fed up with FD or ED.

This is why I only RP as morally ambiguous.
The centre-suggesting a star with 6 planets? Maybe a clue to their home system?
There’s a possibility that they’re the descendants of the crew that escaped from Hesperus, so perhaps that’s part of the next phase?
You’re a politician in real life!
I could do that, but would still suck at combat.
Well I can officially confirm that dropping into asteroid belts to see what is in them is just as repetitive and boring as it was when we thought there was nothing in them. Just went back to Suijin on a lark to look for Octavia's base, and I think I managed to drop into four clusters before calling it quits. If they are going to use this as a mechanic in future lets hope they either fix the FSS, or give us clear hints as to a limited number of possible systems that need to be searched. I can't imagine doing what everyone did with California Sector over the weekend and having to check all the asteroid clusters. New levels of tedious grind potential if they don't.
Ha, my fathers middle name was zoltan, he refuses to acknowledge its his middle name lolI miss Zoltan!
He wasn’t a wrestler was he?
Lord Zoltan was active in the Canonn group back in the days of the “UA Mystery” and a nice helpful guy. There was an interesting period when someone appeared to take offence at his nom de forum, particularly the Lord part, ignoring the fact that there had been IRL a wrestler who used that alias...
Knew Id heard the name before
Mostly agree about tedium etc I just cant bring myself to do it when theres 16 of them in one system, I want to just to be sure, I just cant
. Maybe theyll put more stuff in to find in Belts so we have a reason to visit more. Atm they are like the blue circles on planets, who bothers checking them out anymore when theres so much stuff to do already? The more they add in to the game in general the less likely we are to visit the 'boring' places that dont have any returns. In the SRV I check out most signals though coz Im already on the ground and having fun driving / flying / crashing but I dont land to take out the SRV for a blue circle anymore, not their fault though that they added so much else to grab my attention that I dont bother anymore.But its a double edged sword for me personally, I specifically dont want them to just reveal DW or Raxxla system or even area necessarily, but anything else a clue or hint or nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. Maybe an 'anomaly' signal or something when FSSing the belt even if 50%-75% of the time its nothing it would still make it worthwhile to drop in and have a look and not feel so pointless.
Hila
Hilarious the zoltan toy, should buy it for him lol

Ok, things that is still bugging me about the Hesperus...
1. Once you deliver the "Slavation" mission to Hind Mines station you get CR2Mi... AND A PERMIT?!
To where?! Very shady "Permit"
2. Asteroid belts... LPs hidden inside asteroid belts, the Hesperus and Dredger... humm... I think this is a way Frontier is using to point out to us "visit all asteroid belts you can find!"
Cheers!
