It's obvious they're setting the stage for something big on May 19th.

Meanwhile the guardian research CG will hit Tier 5 today. Collector limpet controller in low G world at its prime.

I wonder what guardian tech can popup from this - Ram Tah get specialization for engineering Gauss Cannons or new guardian modules/weapons, .... it would be lame if it is on foot tech.

I'm afraid about the "slot" where this booster should be equiped

Blueprints do not take-up cargo space and it better to go in a small ship some guardian sites are a nightmare to land.



Went for Guardian FSD blueprint with Anaconda, had to land 3.5km further away and then drive all the way to the Guardian ruins. I learned my lesson that time.

Lol,, I am watching a stream where people play SRV football/soccer with a guardian orb. It is hilarious.

So 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 scan the planet with a dss?

Yup, even did it again to be sure. Cycled through nav menu, checked all of the markers on the planet one by one, checked on the FSS, checked the zoomed in orbital view of the planet while spinning it 360 degrees then checking both poles for any visual ideas, flew around the planet in high orbit, checked darkened areas in canyons in surface flight. I eventually gave up and left but that has me scratching my head. I searched forums, reddit, google... I am not the only one who has seen stuff like this and the best guess anyone has had was an orbiting ship / station / carrier which this system didnt even have a carrier in it nor any stations near the planet itself. Selecting it in the system map even showed 1 Human signal. There are no bases, outposts, porta-poopers, captain jack sparrows, etc on the surface that are marked or I have seen

There is a reason that WitchSpace is called what it is.

I have a occupied escape pod in my FC. It puts out a human signal message and causes people to fly around it 100 times trying to figure out where it is as the game kinda just drops the signal source in a random spot in space and not really anywhere near my carrier. This could be the case.

Even with no FC in the system at all while in solo? If I were in open and there was someone with a pod doing resource gathering that would make sense...
