Zurara awkward Sounds (Formidine Rift)

Hello Commander.

I hope my english is good enough to explain u what happened.

At the moment I make my exploration in the Formidine Rift. Of course I visited the Spaceship Zurara and discovered all logs. After that I went to supercruise again and checked the system in VSS Scanner. I placed this little slider down on the Zurara signal and clicked on the Zurara. Suddenly I heard Radio Signals. I was just able to understand the words: "still alive".

Afte i left the system and came back, I tried it again from far distance. I again heard Radio signals but they were different. When I went again closer to Zurara I heard the first Radio speech again. I was so close that I would be able to drop into the Zurara Site.

I couldn´t find something in the Internet about that. Anyone an idea?

Here are the Sound files:

Zurara from near
Zurara from far away

And also my question:
Are other space ships giving the same radio signals in VSS? Can someone check that? Cause I am far away from other ships. Or is it maybe special connected sound to the Zurara? Especially the one which u hear when u are near to it?
 
I wouldn't attribute anything special to it. Those are the same generic sounds I have heard when encountering other megaships. Given that the Zuarara is uninhabited, I'd just chalk it up to the game using pre-existing assets and not assigned them to specific ships. It would take time to assign different sound bites to different signal sources based on whether or not they are inhabited or not.

Okay thank u. So u compared my sounds? Was just wondering that they changed when I came closer....
 
Someone was onboard when i got to visit the ship. I downloaded logs, scanned etc, and then, before i left, i kind of.. eh.. armed my mining lance and shot at them :) . Just for testing! Immediately they threatened me with retaliation. Plus, the power generators and thrusters seem to be working fine for a dead ship! It has some propulsion, and when i got too close to its engines jets i got hull damage! I wonder what kind of firepower that ship might have!

Yeah, that sounds like a bug. It's a dead megaship, it hasn't been doing those before, and shouldn't be doing them now. I'd suggest creating a ticket on the issue tracker.
Although it would be fun if there were further developments around the Zurara, like squatters moving in. It could make for a good II, if those were still around.
