(Would like to join your cult XD, though I feel somewhat... paling to your intelligence)
I don't know if I'm on to something or if it's just a string of coincidences (I'm thinking the latter, because I'm prone to make a fool our of myself). Though, something very interesting has happened to me today. Mixed in with feeling sleepy and travelling all day, has got me questioning what I saw.
I've been exploring, following some of my own leads to find new barnacle locations, or anything of interest towards my ever growing hunger to simply know more. I ended up approaching the heart and soul nebulae. Now all was fine beforehand, however when I was getting into 'close' proximity, the string of coincidences started.
First, there was lag, when I was in witchspace (well, what I thought to be lag). However, I noticed it was only lagging on a certain part of the travelling sequence. It was a cloud, no matter the background or the colours this 'laggy cloud' was always the item lagging. I took no notice at first but, after one or two jumps of seeing it, I started to look closer.
When the cloud 'froze' I noticed an 'image' on it, the best way I can describe this image, is a constilation of a stick man. Once I saw what it was I put it to the back of my mind (though found myself recording this jump).
About 20 jumps later I saw a cluster of stars in the background, and upon getting even closer to this star cluster, I had to stop. It was an image of a stick man. ... much like the one I came across in Laggy witchspace. So naturally I shuddered thinking what a coincidence, but found my curiosity getting the better of me.
I found the constilation on the galmap and set a course. This is where I was stopped. As I came out of the galmap to prepare myself to jump, all my hud turned red, and there was a shadowy figure, stood in front of the navigation control panel, although brief Ito put my mind at unrest. That is where I decided to call it a day.
I have recordings of both the jump in witchspace and of this shadowy figure. Though I just find it weird how I was carrying out my own leads, and this happens, maybe I'm tired, maybe I'm getting a bit to into the whole thargoid aspect or into the elite game itself.
Though I can give you these videos once I put them on one drive and upload them.
Sorry for the rambling, also on a side note do you have an easily digestible version of the going ons right now? I am having difficulty peering through all these pages on the thread to find out where the 'hot spots' are.
Edit - I just read this back through editing it, I sound like I should be in a special jacket that let's me hug myself all day.
