Since I've been asked several times how to start looking for new generation ships or abandoned bases and suchlike:



You need to look for listening posts in navigation. And so you'll have to always take a look into navigation in each system.

As soon as you jump into it and also near every planet if it is more than a thousand lightseconds away from your arrival point.

The listening post will always be found right next to a planet. (So no need to look for them in empty space inbetween.)



With the generation ships it will probably be easier than with the abandoned ground bases as the search area for most

of them only extends to about 100 lightyears in every direction from Sol (if their traveldistance is consistant with lore).



And now you might ask yourself "But Klumpozyte, how is this going to help me? There are almost 10000 systems in

a 100ly range from Sol. I'd have to zigzag with econmy plotting for hours and still might find nothing?!"

To which I would have to asnwer: "Yes, alas, Jimmy, that is how the cookie crumbles."



What I'm trying to say with that the generation ships are content that is not meant to be actively sought after.

Imho they are mainly inteded as something that players stumble upon unexpectedly while doing something else.

And as they are (supposedly) in the bubble it is most likely that the listening posts would be found by new players

as seasoned CMDRs will not do any short range jumps and so never end up in any of these systems.
