I ran across this artifact during my travels today:
I'm sure some of you have seen it before...it should look familiar to anyone who has completed the beacon quest. Any ideas? Theories? As you can tell from the picture, it is quite large. As I saw it in the distance and started flying towards it, I was quite surprised that it was taking me so long to reach it. It was then that I began to realize just how big it is...
I probed it with my mining beam to no effect.
-The race is not to the swift,
or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise,
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all...
...For death is the destiny of every man;
the living should take this to heart...
My Science officer did not log the presence of a container in the area upon entering the sector. I swept my beam across the entire thing and did not discover anything.

(edit again) ... the spot can be a little tricky to hit with a mining beam... try repositioning and sweeping until you hit it just right. Don't be afraid to (carefully) fly very close, and hover near the top of the structure. (actually you can't "hit it", the structure itself is protected by a grav field, similar to a station).
Look at the size of that thing!
That's no moon. That's a space station...
I've only ever seen one thing like it before, and that was at the end of of the beacon quest, but it wasn't a container of platinum. It look fascinating, and enormous - what I'd really like to know is who built it (Military, Vonari, a new alien species even?) and where it is!
I really don't know what to make of it - but then EL keeps hurling new surprises at me...
p.s. Oh, and Maarschalk - May the Force be with you...

Found it, finally, with a lot of help. Also stumped.....
About the energy pod... what IF we could carry it all the way to it?
Found what? The huge energypod? where is it?LOL:P:P:P

I hear it so much, what is an energy pod really?
So far only two have been found, one in a Nebulae and one in a Cave you can tractor them with your tractor beam they do not go in your cargo bay, they just stick to your tractor beam. The one in the Nebulae gives you twenty units of fuel but to get this you have to find the delivery module in the Nebulae and deposit the energy pod in it! I do not know what the one in the Cave does if delivered to its receiver module!(Aaaagh, to much stuff to investigate!)LOL:P:P:P

oh no, I was referring to the structure. I've actually not seen one of the energy pods yet. I thought once I heard someone playing with one in Sapphire.... Might go looking for it. But if it's the one that's in a nebula, then apparently it already is paired up with a device. The one in a cave sounds interesting if we don't know what device it pairs with.
Can you take the pod through a wormhole, or make a jump with it?

No, you can not take it through a wormhole or jump with it, wait, actualy you can but you lose it to its original place as soon as you do!lol:P
Actualy the Nebulae is the high energy one in which your jump drive is disabled by the interference! so the only way to enter and exit is to the jumpgate or to fly in and out of it!;)
