Well crap that may have been it then.... Places I've visited have been Merope, Maia, and HR1185....
So much for my statistics.

I think I've seen them in the Pleiades too. In fact, I can't remember when I last landed on a planet and didn't find one.
OH yes, and theres a variation of the beacon, one that it's only half shell and theres a light pulsing inside (but no tone)
Ok time to get audacity out I think..
There are 2 layers of sounds in this. The clicks and the static.
The clicks are hard to count because they are quick and sometimes in a timed pattern. Going to need audacity to count them.
There static is easier to count but it is more than just a dash and a dot. There are varying lengths of sound.
There are pauses with no sound.
Counting may mean nothing...

Yeah seen that one too
One of them I think had a data point inside you could download if I recall.

That is not an announcement that services are suspended in Pic Tok, that is an announcement that services are suspended in Harma. Nor does it indicate a change. Pic Tok is shown in the suspended list but it was in that list on 10th Decemeber as well (you'll have to check that post in game) and it was definitely not suspended at that time. Every other station with suspended services has had a post that announced the shutdown, Pic Tok has not unless it appeared in game today.

Agreed. FD like to put clues to treasure hunts and the like in local system news so it is definitely worth checking.
Can anyone filter the rest of the noise out and just isolate the morse - I have a theory but the other noise is way too distracting to be able to listen to the morse.
I'm thinking since its one of our probes it'll be binary.. So the static are 0's and the pulses are 1's.. so if someone can sort out the 0's and 1's its easy to convert that to ascii etc.. It seems to be like a "transmit and receive" pattern to me.

I'm not interested in the static, that's what's distracting me from listening to the morse.
Have to say, this planet I'm on looks fantastic.
There are some planets you land on that look so different and so good that you really *want* there to be some barnacle thing there.
The picture doesn't really do it justice to be honest, the green bits are these odd patches just on the floor of the valleys, everywhere else is grey/black.

Sure the pulses are morse? You could be right. An experienced ear could tell. The old timers did it real fast. But to me it didn't sound like dot's and dashes at all.
It is morse - it is using the letters from the word BROKEN.
The clip is maybe long enough to see if there is a repeating pattern or a hidden message.

Looks like you colour the ground there with your lights.
Does the exterior light colour change by editing the colour matrix, too?
I found one in a random direction, 5500 ly away. I found another one about 1300 ly down. Given this, I'm close to 100% certain they can always appear and are just as deliberately placed as skimmer with some gold. I.e entirely random.
I don't think anyone have been able to filter out the noise (at least on the UA Morse). Either you know Morse and can 'hear' it on good headphones or you use Audacity or a similar program to visualize the sound.
Riz can probably give you the full 'how to do' on method two. He is lightning fast with that method.
No, there are 3 layers. At first I thought the static was the morse, I couldn't hear the BEEPS initially but they are definitely there. I'm at work so I have no hope of decoding it here without audacity, though.
Tinfoil hattery incoming: What if the letters of the word BROKEN are not its status, but point to a system or planet? SpocksOddSocks said the letters are random/missing. What if they're not? Or perhaps the letters form an anagram? There is a system called Kerb, that's the best I could find. Maybe some letters need to be used more than once? Need to decode your video to find out more.
The broken navs are much easier than the UA... I still can't make heads or tails of that thing. The "BROKEN" thing with the nav beacon is ok if you just listen with a morse alphabet sheet in front of you. The letters are definitely just those, but not always in the right order, and usually missing some in each "cycle".
The point is that Michael Brookes suggested that while SOME are entirely random, some have been placed very much intentionally, so I'd assume they do something different, I.E give off different Morse. Those are the ones we want to be gathering the locations of, but it doesnt hurt to see where others have been found until we confirm/deny differences in some.
Yeah, I head to listen for a while before I could hear the beeps too. Same if I check the video again, but I was definitely hearing them before I started recording.

Haha, well shot in the dark but maybe there's a few Nav Beacons out there that don't do what we expect? Maybe Merope's Nav Beacon isn't playing Merope's tune?

I thought he was talking about the Meta-Alloy locations, not the beacons.
