Something odd in Omega 3

Tue Mar 11, 2003 7:47 pm by Akadai

I found some weird object or... thing... in Omega 3. I was just flying around trying to get to a trade lane and was going through one of the ice fields when I ran into what looked to be a worm hole at first. But then I said to my self "Well wait a minute... I mapped all the worm holes in this sector..." So I took a closer look, and it looked like a bright white and somewhat bluesh... anomaly. I took many screens of it, cause it was the first time I've ever seen something like this. This object also does not show up on the map or sensors or whatever. And it almost seemed to reach out and destory flying chunks of ice at times.

I had to take a closer look, and came maybe... 5m, maybe closer when I started to get radiation. I then backed off, but I had to see what might happen if I got closer to it, risking my life. I also can't select this object in space either. So I don't have a clue on what it is.

If anyone else wants to take a look, I found it in Omega 3, near the top left of 5C. I took the many screen shots just in case no one believed me or if no one else found it

I second your discovery. It does look somewhat like a wormhole, but the question is, what the hell is it? I like how it reaches out like it's trying to grab stuff. And I also noticed that if you zoom in, in sector 5C that there's a dome shaped outline with that anomaly almost directly in the middle of it.

I turned to God about the worlds despair, but to make matters worse I found God wasn't there.

There is another one like that in the badlands in the New York system. If you played the story you saw it. They even talk about it

ownage is such a capitalistic term.

No I'm going to have to check out the one in New York. What's the cords.? I'm kind of interested in finding more about these. Now I'm reading about another weird one that's in between two suns, but you can't get close enough to it without getting fried. You get 1000+ M and poof

Those are anomalies. Plain and simple

You see one and even fight near one during the storyline. During your flight from the LIberty Navy/LSF when everyone turns on you. DUring your stop at the research station you're staring right at one, then after you launch you can wind up quite close to it while fighting the Navy waiting for your next mission objective.

About The anomaly between the two white suns - Your scanners will pick it up as an 'unknown' but the little icon next to the text, is showing a weapons platform..

Wierd heh?

- Big Asteroid just south of the Cortez Jump Hole.
- Big Asteriod just northeast of Mactan Base.

New-York Sector

- Miniature sun / white hole - East of Ithaca Research Station
and northeast of NY->Magellan Jump Gate.
- Pittsburgh Debris Field - F3 - large void in the debris field.

More to come once I find them...

I know that this is thread necromancy, but I'm surprised that nobody else has figured this out yet. God, I figured it before the storyline ended.

The anomalies are the dom-kavosh transportation system. You could tell from some of the FAQs that DA planned for them to do something. I think they planned to make them unlock after the storyline ended, perhaps transporting you to the upper/lower unknowns. I think that when microsoft took over, they just scrapped the idea and added in the jump holes from the omicrons instead.

glad you digged this up tbh, cus i just had a thought, why dont we mod them in, make them dock able entities, then we CAN use them to get to the omicrons, the best bit is A hard to find and B will make life alot spicier

If you get to close to them they will melt your ship with Radiation. In the Storyline missions you fight around both of them, I used the one to help destroy the Rhineland Vals in Omega 3.

I run around the anomalies and the Vals flew through them and suffered quite a bit of damage after several passes through the anomalie.
