I see a star of anise flower checking a distress beacon to see if it can provide help.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

No we do not see the attack it is just Combat aftermath assuming the Thargoid ship there did it.

Lots of lovely green goo left on the ships too... iiiiiinteresting.

I'm curious as to why all of these reports, so far, have seemed to only involve federal ships.

Cause the Feds are jackbooted-capitalist-nazi's ?

I never made the assumption that I was going to witness an attack but that would have been interesting.

Something weird is definately going on in Maia. For a couple of times today I've had the supercruise go weird on me, all blurry for a while and then back to normal. The second time it happened I tried to drop back to normal space but there was nothing there. Was worth a try anyway. Went through a few USS too but no scripted events for me. Haven't even seen the "original" one yet.

Got it on video too but the file is 2.2gb so I need to use something to cut it to a much smaller length before uploading.

Edit: Avidemux did the job nicely. The blurry part is right at the beginning. An USS spawned about the same time so I went to see if there is something in there. Here's the clip:
