DISPLAYING MESSAGE
Good evening,
In my preparation for the NDI meeting, I've made a little scout work regarding the access and movement around Omega-55. A little info even to Omega-7 if it will ever be useful. There's a series of landmarks that are of note around O-55, especially places to avoid and a few places of interest. First of all, the system carries only two entry gravimetric entry points which are unstable and might cause substantial damage to vessels larger than a regular freighter. There were portions of the warping tunnel that left a dent even on my scout ship. That means, access to the system for capital vessels can be made by jump drive only.
I've scanned from a distance Skagen, only to notice irregular activity of various ships. Some salvagers looting whatever remains there are in its orbit. Several independent vessels coming and going but nothing that would be a potential threat to us. In case of further analysis and close up landing even, we should arrive in small ships without getting any attention, given if that's the situation we seen. I am sure some would ignore us even on plain sight given the amount of salvage littered all around the planet.
The nearby planetoid houses in its orbit a Junker Depot. I managed to land and then, one certain fella gave an interesting insight about the nearby scrap fields. There were several Coalition stations sometime ago which got either destroyed or dismantled alongside with a former Bounty Hunter station called Rostock. The station got dismantled which left behind a field of EM-infused scrap which could offer some windows of scanner stealth. Let's say, if a ship would leave the orbit of Skagen, it would have a ghost-like effect for our ship's signatures if we'd rest either inside or behind the field. I've marked some coordinates for that place. Note that the effect works both ways. We cannot say precisely what vessels navigate outside the interfering field. That should be taken in account whenever that field is considered as a hiding spot.
The access to Omega 7 though is problematic because of the highly unstable magma-made field that spans.. system wide. That's a lot. There's no blind spot in it. And I've went quite a bit. The unstable jump hole is on the lower reach of this "Magma Bed" and that adds to the difficulty of it. Pilots need to rely on their skill or on strong shields because aside from being a problematically large field, it contains explosive pockets of gas which could damage pretty hard a regular fighter or a freighter. My front nose of the vessel got split up open when I almost collided with a hidden pocket.
Omega 7 has a strip between two large asteroids which could be traversed easily by larger vessels, reaching the Unstable O55 Jumphole and connecting to Freistadt and Elbe. To be noted if it's any interest.
I shall attach further data records of my findings and add comments if necessary:
Suggested trajectory for Auxesian ships in order to safely traverse Omega-55 given the scouting made: Omega-55 Navigational Chart - Green route suggests the lengthier or less exposed route. The blue one represents the short and exposed route (by the Junker base), and the round marker represents the spot where larger ships can be safer from distant scanning.
