Maybe not now, in the light of recent official fiction, but back in ELITE that was all they ever did.

But yeah, hoax.

havnt played the past elites, i only know some timelines and stuff, and there they say that WE attacked them, while they tried to communicate with us.
Also i slightly remember that i think David once said, that our reacton at the first contact determines how the Thargoid relationship will be. So if we attack them, we will be at war again, and if we react peacefull...who knows?

Seems like the Riaz loop is not the easiest to agee on. It is most likely noice.
However if it turns out that it is Morse and is saying "hip8", that is a medial antibody.

Blah, I don't even belive this my selfe

There are systems in the game that begins with HIP. Have anyone check has there isn't a HIP8 in the game.

Guys...can someone explain this?
just found it on reddit

Its not visible on radar and i cant recognize the ship.
The thrusters or weapons or what the glowing bits are...i dont recognize them either...
what is it?

the glowy bits are weapons, gimballed it seems but they hit like railguns...i try to capture a picture of them

I smell a clever hoax. Pitch of ship computer voice is off, and "Your ship has been destroyed by Thargoid' is just, well, a bit 'noddy'.

So I call a lie.

Edit

Ah so everyone is still around today! And I see I'm quite late with this. Still, nice to know I'm with the general consensus, regardless of the now known admission of guilt!

Has anyone checkout HIP8000

HIP8 brings up some random systems.

Searching for "HIP 8" in the Galaxy Map gets you "HIP 8000" first, then "HIP 80004" and then "HIP 80005" etc.

Search for "HIP8" gives "Z Pegasi" which apparently is Hipparchos catalogue number 8 star.

Just in the game now. Going to check out HIP 8000

Which is nearly 666ly away from Timocani.

Back in Timocani (open) with my DBX waiting for SSSs... still a very low rate of them appearing for me compared to other systems.

Ah the high pitched thing in the background? Not noticed that before.

I am not the experts btw.

I'm really struggling to make it into morse but it seems to be set of notes that repeat around 3 times over your recording.

This is getting a bit close encounters but been mucking around on a keyboard and to me it sounds like CDCGECDCDC pause repeat.

Here I made a flute recording of it....

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kupbvb72vcifsh3/cdcgecdcdc.mp3?dl=0

That?

My music skills aren't very good as you can see!

Made a remix - The Song of the Spheres.

Nope not getting any better. =p

There are a few ifs before hip8 is confirmed to say the least.

I made it up by "adjusting" Riaz72s Morse results.

It's not quite sientific ;-)

Don't worry I won't go a hunt you down and kill in the game if it turns out to be nothing. I bored with Timocani and not getting even a whiff of a UA. So I think I will head out on this wild goose chase and see if I can catch a goose.

Hopefully given how rare UA we don't actually need one to see what Frontier is hiding from us.

While you're at it in the GalMap, could you check out the system Liaququ and the planet New California?

By the way, I'm not that easy to kill. I'm a quite skilled Sir Robin ;-)

LordZoltan · Jul 17, 2015

So on this new potential Morse...

The existing Morse follows this rule, it's just that the noises used are so obscure, it's not immediately apparent:

If the duration of a dot is taken to be one unit then that of a dash is three units. The space between the components of one character is one unit, between characters is three units and between words seven units. (from http://morsecode.scphillips.com/morse.html).

If we listen & transcribe based on this rule, and get gibberish - then it's probably not Morse. The existing Morse, once you get your ear in, is pretty unambiguous with its spacing.

Liaququ isn't found.

New California in:
Epsilon Eridani
Miquich
Phekda
Liabeze

Couldn't find Liaququ but I did find Liabeze with a habitual planet.

Not sure if that the right system, here a screen shot.

Thank you for that.

This is probebly very old news and already explored to bits but... I looked at recording 6 and was pleased that it was already speeded up. The tones that sound like a trombone, or 'Thargoid farts' as I called them always occur in blocks of seven and in two tones.

Here is the clear part of recording 6.

Could this mean anything?

Heh. I should have read all the recent pages before posting it seems

This got sort of lost in the phony vid. I'm assuming this is old news?

You looking for outdoor or water worlds with indigenous life or suitable for water-based life by any chance? All of those are. You need a permit for Phekda (independent, but controlled by Mahon in the Powerplay silliness). New California is a terraformed planet in Epsilon Eridani which is an outdoor world with indigenous life.

SushiCW · Jul 17, 2015

Thought on the SAP-8 / UA thing...

Is there any chance the angle is what matters? As in, the angle between the Sap-8, the UA, and the player ship. Maybe more SAP-8s just increases the likelihood of one of them being in the right position to make the sound change?

What happens if you line a single SAP 8 up directly behind the UA or directly in front of the UA (so you're listening to the UA "through" the SAP-8)?

Just some wild speculation if anyone is looking for experiment ideas.

Here is the old Liaququ - I do not believe there is anything at those coordinates (will check): http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Gazetteer/liaququ.html

- - - Updated - - -

BTW Han Zen you were correct many pages back - Hotice does not exist at all in ED. This makes me think we are on the "peaceful" track, or some form thereof, from FFE, where there are currently Thargoids of the Oresrian variety present at Quiness/Quy and perhaps elsewhere. If we were on the "war" track, the system should be there, but Hotice-1 would have a big bloody hole in it or be destroyed (the research station where the Mycoid virus cure was developed)

There talk through that the players will decided which track we will be on when we encounter Thargoids. It also possible that we will encounter a different branch of Thargoids that won't be peaceful, whilst still allying ourselves with Oresrian.
