Where are they? Interstellar Space more than likely, anyone FSDing around sol and surrounding stars has probably passed them in whichspace, the chances that you would be in a system when they arrive is very very small. It's not like they will be traveling slowly (0.7c-ish) they would have to expend a massive amount of energy to stop at any system, and they would need to be very sure they could either stay or have the resources available to refuel etc, to then begin to slowly punch up the speed again, (stopping in a generational ship will cost you a generation to get back on track).

If the crafts themselves have survived 1000 years without crashing/wearing out or have a social/crew issue, then statistically, without an exact leave date/heading/speed/flight plan, if they still survive, finding them in a system (because we skip the connecting space) is highly unlikely.

Even in the best case, they are traveling between systems 99.9999% of the time.

I always thought the purpose of a generation ship was to do a single voyage to a likely destination (based on astronomical observations) & then stop. If the observations are incorrect & the system's not habitable then they die, or survive using the ship as a base. So they would have set off for destinations not too far from Earth, e.g. Alpha Centauri, Pleiades, etc. So I would expect to find inhabited (by their descendants) systems &/or dead generation ships within a 1kly bubble from Earth. Many should have arrived by now (3302), but we haven't found any. Perhaps M erope 5C is a generation ship covered by galactic detritus & we're looking for the entrance hatch? :rolleyes:

I think we are too Focused on the Unknown Probe.



Currently we know that Something Unknown is Attacking Ships.
These Ships are Downed usually so we Find Wreckages and know that they somehow Take them Down very Fast.


But I think we are too Focused on how it happens.

Instead we should Focus more on Why Ships are Attacked.
What is causing Enemies to Take down Ships.
Whats the Requirement for Being Attacked.


Where do Ships get Attacked.
What did Ships do when they got Attacked.
What Ships got Attacked.
To whom belong the Attacked Ships.
What did Ships carry when they were Attacked.


I am Fairly sure there is a Trigger for these Attacks.
And we should work towards finding it. Then maybe this will also allow us to make more Sense of the Attacks and Find out whats behind them :)

U might be right and i think i have an aswer for 1 of theese points CMDR

What did Ships carry when they were Attacked.?

After going araund innside the bubble and ouside the tip off messages or quest allways pointed me to downed crashed ships witch are unrecogniseble and the point is each of them had an Unknow Artifact with them

this might be a lead because if someting is tageting ships this is a patter that coud be posible cargoships, smuglers etc all had a ua on board and they crashed into an unrecognisable pile of junk after all the UA's cant kill ur ship it voud most likely just eat its way outof it.

Hehe.. it's not a moon, it's a spacestation? Nahh.;)

Ok me and CMDR Ilo did a recording of a Tamed UA

as you can see no change there, trying to find a "wild one" at the mo just to make sure.

Might be worth someone with the contacts to put out a call on GALNET for any Commanders who are in possession of Unknown Probes to donate them to Cannon for research purposes, as I'm sure there must be a number of CMDRs who have heard about Ross 47 and gone there with wings to try to claim their own UPs.

I suspect anybody in-game who has a UP must know of Canonn & the reason they haven't come on this thread is that they aren't interested in sharing. However it would be opportune time for Canonn to issue an official statement on the UP findings & make such an appeal @LZ???

i have a theory..

We all know that those probes are scanning and reporting their data to their sectors somehow

- in the spectogram means no life in there, and the vertical lines means there is "life" in there.
so right upper corner, there's heavy populated space in the north eastern parts of the sectors which is scanning things in the lower sectors! (I think that this is us)
Left upper corner could mean that the living forms are not at the edge of galaxy but they are there somewhere, And they should be scanned from the whole Sectors. (Those might be the most dangerous ones)
Right lower corner and left lower corners, no life between them. Bu there is some living forms at the sectors. The life forms will be coming from the diagonal routes. We just need to find what degrees those are so that we can travel and seek!
There 2 diagonal lines on the left, which could mean that those goids may invade from the whole outer angle.

I think this way it explains a bit, and its serious!
What is the center of this map?

Or maybe Paul is stranded in 5c and the UAs, UPs were his only way to contact possible rescuers. UAs found intelligent life (us) and 2nd stage would be the UPs with info regarding his whereabouts.
As stated previously, the EMP doesn't kill all you ships systems, it's more of a "hey, listen to me".
Click to expand...

Not convinced- the UA shell is centred on Merope not any of the inhabited human worlds, and UP arent pointing at Earth/Achenar/Alioth. If Paul is already on 5C all he has to do is sit on the surface with a large lump of metal, or walk to a barney site, & we'd find him.

Ok so I'm pretty sure the image is of the surface map of Merope 5C. Not sure yet where it points on the planet but I'm sure that's got to be it. I will post an image if what I mean in one second -

So obviously I haven't lined it up in the correct position, but I just wanted to point out it is the same markings found in the other image. Check it out on your own galaxy map and see if someone more clever than me can position it in the right spot?

It would really help if we knew that the lines, dots and dashes around the planet surface meant....

That's a pretty big assumption, they may be only vaguely aware of Cannon. You'd be surprised, if someone's carrying a UP and see an appeal for them, they may think "Hey, I'm not doing anything with it anyway, might as well".

However it would be opportune time for Canonn to issue an official statement on the UP findings & make such an appeal @LZ???

If "they" teach us their maths then how you can be sure that "they" use our geographic coordinate system? All this theories about coordinates is so .... pointless
... i dont like that "they" apriori use our coordinates
Click to expand...

yes, but this is a game produced by human coders & designers & they want us to solve the puzzles they're setting.

Aslo Look like the feds are taken the -28.77 -114 barnicle up and they wont let me near damit they are destroying the still working speciments
Click to expand...

Wait, did they actually destroy the last one they were parked over on the other moon? We might have to make a retaliatory strike. If we can get Eagles and Cobras to distract the CAP, we can then get ASPs set up with rockets to bomb all the turrets on the ground and the heat sinks on the battlecruiser. This planet is important, and we can't have them mucking up the mystery. Threaten them! Tell them that we'll strike back if we can't get some answers!
