I want to get through the hype. Can anyone summarise all that was discovered so far? Or create a google sheet with all info? Im seriously lost now :D

Also, paging @Arthur Tolmie @Stephen Benedetti @Bruce Garrido - there's no message from the Listening Post. They normally have a message so it looks like there's a bug. (Also the stuck/sunken SRV that's on the planet in the Coalsack seems like it might be supposed to give a message but didn't.)

Nice one!

(Also, dammit, I was one system away and went to one in another direction! 😂)

Edit - Welcome to the forums! Thanks for joining and sharing your find!

Many thanks! I made a very long, very fast run from Colonia to Coalsack just to take part in this one!

Sadly, I don't think there's anything to the listening post itself unless I'm missing something obvious; it's orbiting the 3rd planet, a gas giant, which has 2 moons with tons of geological signals but no other identifiable features.

Any thoughts, or has this mystery basically wrapped?

While we're waiting on this listening post to hopefully do... something, here's where we stand on discoveries.

(Gonna go ahead and spoiler tag, but this entire thread is obviously spoiler-heavy)

The Ghost Ship, identified as the Adamastor, is chilling in Chukchan. When scanned, it provides a log that points to three systems - a K star, an M star, and an A star.

K-Star:
Synuefe XE-Y C17-7, listening post currently unresponsive.
M-Star:
Musca Dark Region PJ-P B6-1, Thargoid activity and several logs at the abandoned base.
A-Star:
HIP 69200, crashed Sidewinder with the professor's final log.

200 years ago, a science team acquired an unknown object of alien origin in the Musca system in the Coalsack. The Adamastor was dispatched on a "private licence" to acquire the object. I don't know exactly what their plans or route was, but they passed through Synuefe first from somewhere in the neighborhood of Barnard's Loop, went up through Chukchan and over to the Coalsack to pick up the "package." On their way back they had some crazy stuff happen, and one of the researchers ended up stealing a Sidewinder and crashed it into HIP 69200. The Adamastor was supposedly left to drift on autopilot until it ended up back in Chukchan.

Thanks SCiARA, the current uptick in CGs and the dedication of the team at FD is making this game really live and interactive. Loved the News Channel video today. You guys are bringing the game alive, bringing Cmdrs like me into the fold and enlivening the huge and devoted Elite community. I've been on the game since Lockdown in March and this is these are exciting times. Thanks again. o7

Good work, that’s a big trek! Extra worth after finding the LP.

I would think there’s a message still to come from the LP, but in terms of this particular mystery... not sure. That might be more or less it for the findable stuff, which then takes it more into how all this stuff wraps into the bigger picture (which is pretty interesting in itself!)

Didnt the Formadine mystery involve listening posts that played a morse or some kind of code every 15 minutes or so? If I'm remembering correctly here

Nice summary!

One minor point - the system with the Listening Post is only in the direction of Barnards Loop, but it's actually not very near it - it's quite a bit closer to the bubble than to BL.

Image below to illustrate, blue arrow shows the system with the LP:

Im sitting at the Listening post with a Cmdr in open atm, not much happening.
