Things would get really interesting politically if Halsey turned up alive...
I bet the few survivors that are found in this new CG will speak about 'something being out there' and a sudden attack or something like that. Enough to keep the Thargoid-fans busy and enough to keep the 'it's all a consipiracy'-people happy. In both cases I bet the price of tinfoil will skyrocket!
Ooh, this weeks dev update is in:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=233357
It mentions general changes to signal source spawns so it isn't just a matter of waiting for them any more....
I'm wondering if this will offer any insight into the behaviour of UAs...

I think the "scanning of things that aren't planetary bodies" has a good chance of being worked into UA behavior. In the same way that scanning a nav beacon might reveal system data and points of interest, it's not a big stretch of the imagination that scanning a UA could reveal a POI, barnacle locations, or even a hidden planet half a lightyear away!
lets hope so, Confirmed by MB that not just USS, all signal sources can be scanned before entering. Could be interesting if the SSS of a UA spawn reveals anything.
Also where they will be spawned, what area of the systems. wont be random waiting for a spawn in the 135-150 lyr bubble.
We will have science to do , locations , preferences of the UA etc. we know where to look for them,unless that changes.
True. But my first thought on reading the update was "does this mean UAs are going to be harder to find?" The after-thought was "probably, at least until we crack the code for where to find them again."
Not sure if I got this right, but I believe a system had to have a nav beacon in order to scan the whole system for USS...

Maybe... My first thought was this was relating to other content such as " the missing" I suspect they put some in already but its tough to find with all the USS out there ... With a scanner it would be easier to determine if its worth dropping into
Edit: and by other content ... Im guessing engineers , and other more easter egg-y kind of things
Yaaaas, Easter Eggs plzzzz. I am dreaming of finding and docking with a derelict Death Star somewhere wayyyyy out there.
We can always hope
Parked up for the night after nebula investigating, time off tomorrow with coffee for further investigating, a great screenshot from inside the Fetus nebula. a good few landable places, but not right temp etc. nice shots though. Blue skies,along with beer and sweet dreams, back tomorrow/.

We shouldn't categorically rule out planets based on temperatures!!! Remember the first barnacles were found on planets that hardly anybody investigated because we focused on a hypothetical and unfounded preselection (people were focusing 99% of their efforts on high-G planets because it was somehow 'established' that this is where we were supposed to be looking).
