located @ coordinates H2 in the newcastle system.. I don't remember seeeing it in regular FL or SP discovery, but there is a huge base with what appears to be power plants for a huge shield surrounding it... I can pull up to 3k away and it still only shows as "unknown"... what the heck is it?

That would be the Nomad city model from the SP campaign, right? Way back when, the modder that submitted the system included it because he thought it'd be cool.
Anyway, it are nomad ruins under control by the Armed Forces. Who'll kick any trespassers from the area.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.

Angel's systems tend to be off the graph so far as normality goes. Generally not in a good way. Some of them have permanently altered lore for the worse, while others were just nightmares to navigate.
The only thing wrong with those ruins is that they don't do anything. I spent a good 30 minutes one day shooting down all the power generrators and the shield still stayed up. Just as well probably, me gettin in means they could get out, and I'd hate to unleash a nomad fleet or something. Or not, would be funny to have a nomad fleet around south shields refinery hahaha
Also the mines are bugged, and lag me big time.
To the OP, it's a crime to go there as a civilian. If a bretonian authority catches you snooping around they are in their rights to explodify your boat. However there are some interesting infocards on the ship and the station. But don't go there. Unless you need to.

See Gran Canaria and Newcastle, respectively.
Gotta agree here.

Oh come on. This would be a freaking lol fest. Shoot the generators, and 20 of those Nomad battle fleets with BS/GBs/Snubs come shooting out all over Newcastle. And stay there till all dead. Would be a blast.
