System Signal Sources: Difference between revisions

|An Armed Revolt is a [[Powerplay]]-related SSS specific to [[Yuri Grom]]. It is similar to a [[Conflict Zone]], but contains [[ships]] aligned to a [[Power]] battling against a system's defense forces.

|Appears in systems affected by the Incursion state. Successive waves of hostile Thargoid Interceptors and Thargoid Scouts will attack at these signal sources.

|Can spawn as Low, Medium or High Intensity.  

|[[:Category:Events|Event]]

|Much like a conflict zone where trade convoys have been interdicted and attacked.

|[[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]]'s Expansion special conflict zone.

|-

|A persistent [[Miner|mining]] location found within [[Planetary Ring Systems]] that contain a high concentration of [[Seismic Charge Launcher|crackable]] "motherlode" [[asteroids]] with a specific [[Commodities#Minerals|mineral resource]].

|Deep-space probe with signaling tech that are manufactured by [[Sirius Corporation]] with cooperation from the [[Mars High]] Astrocartography department.

|Persistent, [[Capital Ship]]

|These show up as a signal source in a star system. They are not displayed in the System Map. Some Megaships can be looted for cargo, data and materials. Check the [[Salvager]] career.

| [[Powerplay]]

|[[Zachary Hudson]] or [[Denton Patreus]] Expansion special conflict zone.

|[[Nav Beacon]]

|These locations are located close to the primary star of every inhabited star system. These locations spawn a variety of NPCs. The most commonly spawned NPC types are traders, freighter convoys, smugglers, bounty hunters, pirates, wanted, and security vessels.

|[[Notable Stellar Phenomena]]

|High threat (5-7) signal sources populated by several pirate ships from various criminal factions. These ships are heavily-armed and piloted by high-ranking pilots; some ships may also be [[Engineers|Engineered]].

|The rewards here are higher but equally the NPC's are harder than the Nav Beacons. You DO NOT need to join a faction here. You simply target other ships, scan them and if one of them is wanted you take them out and, if they have cargo, steal their haul which you can sell on the black market. These areas, along with Nav Beacons, are full of pirates and bounty hunters. A Resource Extraction Site outside of a planetary ring is far less likely to contain NPCs.

|[[Salvageable Wreckage]]

| [[Simguru Pranav Antal]] Expansion special conflict zone.  

==Unidentified Signal Source==

USS are a subcategory of signal sources.

*[[Unidentified Signal Source]]  

**Once scanned, Unidentified Signal Sources will resolve into one of several subtypes. They may contain squadrons of pirates, large 'wanted' cargo vessels (which you can destroy and steal the cargo without becoming wanted yourself) and sometimes just empty space with low value cargo laying around. Typically these areas have more than one bad guy, so you can visit these locations without being attacked (as long as you don't have cargo) and have a look around, but bounty hunting or piracy at these sites may require a combat focused ship due to the random nature of the encounter (there may be Anacondas!).

**Assassination missions require you to visit these sites in order to locate the target. Usually you will find a damaged trade convoy that will tell you the last known location of the target, but are usually no more specific than a system.

====Non-Human Signal Source====  

*Unidentified Signal Sources can become [[Non-Human Signal Source]]s. These usually contain encounters with [[Thargoids|Thargoid]].

==Notes==  

*Over time, some System Signal Sources were removed from ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'', either for balance purposes or because they were being replaced by other signal sources that served similar purposes. Removed signal sources include:

**Seeking Luxuries - Spawned traders in large freighters who would purchase [[Performance Enhancers]].
