Blue circle thingy?

Post by 33tango »

I'm guessing this is from an addon but I've added several at once and am not sure what it is. Can someone identify this?
Thanks!

Looks more like a wormhole to me!

They're left in the wake of a ship jumping out of the system, and if you enter the wormhole, you can follow that ship to another solar system, without using any fuel... :)

Yeah, wormhole. The blue 'lollypop' on the scanner gave it away...

BTW, did you want a small, cute and fluffy friend to relieve the stresses and strains of interstellar travels? Only Cr30...

1.73.4 has a new piece of equipment, the wormhole scanner ... you can target a wormhole and find out where it's going.
