Unknown SC vessels sighted. HD 215227

Just a heads up here.

Was on approach to HD 215227 A 4 B when I saw two unknown ships leaving rapidly from A 4 A and headed out into deep space. They persisted for at least 10 -15 seconds until they faded out of sight. No players apart from me in system and nothing on scanner (though by the time I looked at it they were almost out of sight)

Not a graphics glitch as they followed different flightpaths. (Although stayed sorta together) SC light was white and not the usual blue.

o7 Cmdrs!

We need a sticky or somewhere to gather these unknown vessels sightings. Confirmed or otherwise... we might find a pattern.

Hmm I may head out there to nite to see if I catch anything...or in the surrounding systems.....anything special about this particular system OP?

White light in SC?.......no......it can't be?!......
We are all in a world of hurt now gents.....and I ain't talking Derek acorah

Thargoids are nothing compared to what's coming.

What marked them as "unknown"? Were you able to target them? Any readings from your ship other than mk1 eyeballs?

This is just guessing on my part here .. but as far as i am aware nothing new has been added to the game since the last patch (apparently the crashed alien ship has always been there) .. so I doubt there are any "Unknown" ships flying about.

There would be some kind of proof by now .. the last patch came out ages ago.

It would be trivially easy for FD to implement something like this, and then simply leave it inactive until they activate it server-side. It could have been in the game code for half a year or more and we'd never know it.

Not just the random NPCs you can come across within a certain limit of the Human bubble?

2000ly it could have been random npcs for sure, its well within the limit ( but once u get about 1000ly out it does go up in randomness factor out to about 10000ly out) it is close to the cave nebula which may raise the spawning of npcs as well as signal sources that match what spawns in those areas ( data caches mostly)

while i'm a sceptical person, i just want to point out, that many things in game have been found much later ... barnacles, unknown probes ... raxxla (or whatever) not yet found while being ingame since launch, a rare hat was found 18 month into the game etc.

from OPs post we can't figure out much. if the unknown ships would have been targeted and shown as "unknown ship", that would be something. if they where not targeted, and simple contacts, they could have been some random spawn --- HD 215227 is around 1400 ly from the last station, but i had random spawns of "explorers", even of bounty hunters and pirates at that distance (i think).

a screenshot would neverthelss be great!

Two special things about this system.

1. It's one of three MWC systems. But goes by the name of HD 215227. One is in the NGC 884 cluster by Chi Persei, and the other in the IC 1804 Cluster. This systems black hole is called MWC 656.

2. Its an open Black Hole!

Challange accepted was bout to slowly start making my way back to jaques in a cough 16ly combat python. That said i need to get that little exploration tastes so 150 jumps is pretty easy. If anyone else is going lets see if we can find anything new and unique out there or just the same old same old and ive never been to the cave nebula as well so may as well tack that on
