Something doesn't add up here. Nova Imperium, while certainly having "extreme views", as Senator Torval puts it, is as Anti-Marlinist as they come. And please don't forget that the NMLA convinced Liz Ryder to design the enzyme bombs by posing as members of the Eurybia Blue Mafia, meaning the NMLA are masters of manipulating their allies.

BatwingsixSo I have searched around and can't find anything that could explain what I am seeing. I have a planet which shows a bunch of Geo sites and 1 human signal.... No human signal POI though. I have seen countless posts dating back a while about an orbiting ship, fleet carrier, transient ship in the area etc. There is a conflict zone next to another planet in the system but not this specific one which is the only possible thing I can think (even though the planet the conflict zone is next to shows no human signals). I have done a few fly overs, gone into the planet on the map and looked for anything that may be a crash site or something but no luck. I even did some low level flying around some of the ridges, canyons and mountains to see if maybe I could get a glimpse of anything and still no luck. Anyone else have any ideas?


Did you look for an "installation" in orbit?
Detailed surface scan?

Yes, I detailed even more steps I took a couple posts after including visual searching in surface flight for anything. No FC in the system, no AI large ships in the system, no planetary bases / outposts, no reason at all to have a signal there that I could see. I DSS'd twice, rechecked on the FSS, rechecked the planetary info in the system map, rechecked the nav computer, rechecked visually each waypoint. Closest thing to me was a conflict zone at another planet in the system.

Sorry , have you tried to google the system name? It is obvious that you do not want to share it with us. Some POIs are not visible in nav panel or system map but they certainly should show up on the planet surface. Just stop 1 ls away from the body in super cruise and visually inspect the surface , if you see second circle (different than the body one) press T or whatever your targeting binding is.

I dont remember the system name, only system I can ever remember is the one I am based in since I have had to type it into Inara and EDDB so much. I was hopscotching between engineers dragging a couple ships I needed more than one blueprint worked on and trying to map out the places I hadn't been to yet along the way. I will head back out again later this week and try to retrace my steps a bit and see if I can find it again. I am wondering if it was something conflicting between Solo and Open play or something. Maybe people on the surface and it was somehow registering on the solo side. The reason I was asking was in case there was something I was missing possibly but I had already googled the issue after leaving. All I got was a bunch of Reddit posts about it being an AI ship in orbit (one of those research vessel things) and possibly fleet carriers in the later posted questions regarding the same things. When I went back into the map mode to do a visual zoom of the planet where I could spin and recon it (not sure anything visual would even show up but I was trying what I could to figure it out past what I had already done) I saw there were no carriers in the system. I even individually checked each POI by manual targeting on the surface as I orbited and they were all Geological.

Or check your flight log here on Inara.

I will still have to cross reference it with the in game system map though wont I? I have 4 pages of system jump logs for yesterday alone but if you want me to toss out the list of names of them I can.

On the occasion that I've had to try to track down a particular system or place/site in a system, I've had good luck using EDDiscovery & selecting detailed logs.

Hope that helps. I H8 unresolved mysteries too.

Four years ago today, the largest cross platform, player-versus-player event in Elite took place. It was the result of a story arc that spanned months and thousands of lightyears, diving deep into the history of Elite and heralding the arrival of the Thargoids.

What we didn't know at the time was that it would be the only event of its kind. To date, nothing on the same scale has happened since. It disrupted the status quo, and for at least a little while, many people in the community had a reason to do more than just grinding for credits or merits for Powerplay.

In the four years since, Loren's Legion - and its offshoot, Loren's Reapers - has stood the tests that came with the long period without story or meaningful content in the game. We set out to blaze our own trail. This often brought us into conflict with others.

For this, we make no apologies.

We make no apologies because we set out to create the stories and content that the game sorely lacked. Our in-game exploits have resulted in two novels, written by one of our own, that seek to fill the storytelling void in which we have all languished. Our adventures in Carcosa were but one chapter in the ongoing narrative that belongs to Loren's Reapers.

We mark this day in Elite's history every year because we believe the best stories are born out of adversity and conflict. While the community has contented itself with the stagnation and mindless expansion of player empires and politics, we stand in opposition to it. We defy those who would rather the game become a matter of numbers and percentages. We defy the empire builders, the tedious gardeners in a world that, up until a few years ago, thrived on the clashing of ideals and opinions within the game world.

Today we look back at the high standards set not only by the Premonition player event, but also the interwoven personal narratives that have emerged as a result of the outcome of that event. It has shaped us in many ways, but it has always been the contributions and actions of our members - and the reactions of our foes - that have carried us forward. Were it not for these two crucial elements, many of us would have moved on long ago.

As we prepare for Odyssey, we find ourselves looking forward to the new stories and new ways to tell them. We look toward what plots may unfurl, what mysteries may beckon us to solve them, and what causes we may be called to fight for. Loren's Reapers seeks to expand and to shape the evolving narrative, just as we did four years ago today.

That means we will inevitably come into conflict with those who would prefer the tranquility of carefully managed background simulation states, who reduce the game to mere spreadsheets, and view smaller groups with similar goals to our own as obstacles to crush under the might of their superior numbers.

We don't believe Elite was meant to be a spreadsheet simulator, nor was it meant to be a place where dissenting positions or ideologies are only allowed to exist through negotiation and compromise. To acquiesce to those beliefs would be to deny the essence of the game itself, and to fail the charge given to us by Kahina Loren in her final message:

"Challenge the authorities. Force their hand. Refuse to be manipulated. Do not rise to their provocations. Make your own powerplays, organise embargoes and blockade the ports. Break their hold and force them out into the open. Blaze a trail. Visibility is the one thing they cannot abide."

So we will fight - alongside friends and allies, if we can; alone, if we must. But we will always keep fighting the long defeat for the love of a good story. We may be beaten in the end, but we can never lose.

Fight on, Commanders. And always....

Remember.

It's too easy and fruitful to play the opportunist or a bootlicker. Game mechanics actually drives people to do this.

p.s. It's really hard to counterweight the player-supported superpower-affiliated factions while playing alone. Numbers matter. How much of benefits I won for independents in CZ wars now taken back? Perhaps all of them.

Sooo... the Fednecks sent a megaship into the Paresa system... guess the Harmony's Shield got ordered to arrest Hadrian. Makes me wonder if this happens with or without consent of ACT and/or the Empire. Guess we'll get LTT 1935 in reverse later today.
