Has anyone noticed the Unidentifeid Structure disappearing completely? There was one in Onnamon and now it's completely vanished. No beacon or anything.

Structures have been noted to disappear after a time, but no confirmed cases of what causes it, or how much time exactly elapsed, nor has anyone visited the exact site post-structure.

Yeah, that's the one I keep screwing with.

Just went through a wormhole to There and there was one of those structures in the system I went in. Maybe they are connected with the appearance of certain wormhole types.

Wait... they show up in WH too?

No. Only in the system with the wormhole to Thera.

That's enough of a contrast to make it worth investigating!

Like, for example, what if all the systems with structures also spawn WHs to Thera eventually?

This could be an interesting theory - I'm not sure if this is entirely testable - I will fly across to a system that recently had a Thera wormhole in and check it out/ask the locals.

There is still a WH in the system I am monitoring.

I can also rule out any change of behavior after letting them scan me with the following objects in my cargobay;

Fullerite-C28 1 Harvestable Cloud 2 m3
Fullerite-C32 1 Harvestable Cloud 5 m3
Fullerite-C320 Harvestable Cloud 5 m3
Fullerite-C50 1 Harvestable Cloud 1 m3
Fullerite-C540 Harvestable Cloud 10 m3
Fullerite-C60 1 Harvestable Cloud 1 m3
Fullerite-C70 1 Harvestable Cloud 1 m3
Fullerite-C84 2 Harvestable Cloud 4 m3
Holy Statue Commodities 5 m3
Isogen Mineral 0.01 m3
Malfunctioning Power Cores 1 Sleeper Engineering Relics 10 m3
Runic Inscription 1 Commodities 0.10 m3
Spatial Attunement Unit 1 Construction Components 1 m3
Takmahl Biodroid Controller 1 Artifacts and Prototypes 0.10 m3

Did anyone get scanned while in a pod?
And what about the new warpspeed implants "made" through ghostsites?

Everything related to creating stargates and travel might be relevant.

Following up on my earlier post - systems that have recently had a wormhole to Thera do not contain unidentified structures in. However Yarebap did have one next door. We'd need to expand the sample size to find any correlation.

EDIT:

Two of the unidentified structures I have visited in the Domain region is located between 0.5-0.6au.

It's said that the structures are only temporarily visible.

I do admit my theory is vague and rather hard to verify,
but it's as good as any other so far.

What do stargates and ships have in common, btw?

When sleepers scan gates, what are they looking for,
that can be foundd in ships as well?

I guess I should read through this thread properly...

The systems in which I've seen these structures have only had 1 or 2 sleepers. But Malina Seraki's pics show 5. The increase in number is interesting.

I'm wondering if they are gathering materials to build more Circadian Sleepers. And each time the structure goes away, it is building a new sleeper. Or something like that.

This leads me to wonder what happens once it reaches a certain count? And can the count be reset or reduced?

Does the structure "go away" or are their cloaks working again?

Testable by bookmarking the exact position and trying to bump into something when it's "gone".

Sorry if this was tested already, haven't read through the whole thread yet.

An increased number could mean that they are successfull in finding what they are looking for and need more cargospace, or it could mean that they are getting kind of desperate. Another idea could be that so many of them are being shot down, that they need "backup" to do their job.

Just my thoughts.

I still think it's not many structures popping up and being cloaked but one structure being projected throughout the cluster. The Sleepers are out researching the appearances and study the effects of it on the surrounding system. Would not surprise me if it were actually the leftover in the heart of the star that went poof the last few weeks.

An explorer posted images of Sansha and Sleeper structures from inside the new Wormholes that have been discovered after the Caroline's Nova incident the other week. One of the recorded objects discovered was noted to be a cloak projector, damaged - perhaps this has some kind of connection?

Huh. I missed the "damaged cloak projector" find.

Sounds neat.

I mean ok great, they were cloaked. Lovely. We sorta knew that the event was linked to damaging previously undetectable cloaking devices. But we've tried everything to interact with well...everything. We still got nothin. vOv

If they do, and there's literally no way to move the story forward then to track down 1 player of a few thousand who may or may not be online or may or may not be subbed even, I'm done.
