I don't support this at all.
I can't se why it's better to have two drunk idiots in our back yard, than just one. :)

I hope Bauschinger City gets sabotaged.

Well
1) it's more amusing
2) humanity may soon need all the barneys/MAs we can get our hands on- remember MAs are heat resistant, so should be able to help warm up the coming winter!

;)
 
Having trouble getting a bit of data on these systems (possibly because few visit them)

If anyone could provide some detailed scan data to me that would be great!
This should help with location comparison on this tab of the Meta sheet:

Now that you mention.. I think we can save here how this puzzle worked as a reference:

Just copy paste form ED russian site --

So, the method of triangulation with multiple systems, which have brought the original puzzle has been determined the most suitable (in fact - the only ! appropriate) to find the next clue (and perhaps themselves jewels) - this CUBEO, capital Aisling Duval. Yesterday, however, many hours of search in the system have not yet given us any clues. We need your help and attentive eye, you need to turn everything in the system, from the Nav-lighthouse until the very last of the planet, including the holds of suspicious ships.


We remind you that the original code number was: EMPIRE Duval + + NAZVANIE_SISTEM 2ND PUZZLE + LOCAL + + GALNET Lighthouses . . Therefore, the priority is now possible to search for the beacon triangulation was carried out with the following systems (each of them found a message containing the encrypted names of three other systems and signal distance, instead of the names of systems was a simple substitution cipher HEX> the ASCII) : DAIBO: Brundage the DOCK the Matches AT detected signal: (Di Yomi, Dhruva, Dzalak Mani) the Range: 42-44 LY the DI YOMI: KELLY ORBITAL the Matches signal detected AT: (DAIBO, Dhruva, Dzalak Mani) the RANGE: 41-43 LY Dhruva: Shinjo the CITY the Matches signal detected AT: (Daido, Di Yomi, Dzalak, Mani) the RANGE: 64-66 LY DZALAK MANI: MUELLER the STATION the Matches signal detected AT: (DAIBO, Di Yomi, Dhruva) the RANGE: 52-54 LY


string A6B1D4H1I4K1L1M2N1O2R1U1V1Y1Z1 has the following key to deciphering: The letter / number of letters From the resulting set of letters is made ​​just 4 names of systems (they are listed above). This is clearly shown on the picture below: Ie complete transcript of the messages from the TT has turned: EMPIRE SYSTEMS DUVAL {DAIBO, the DI YOMI, Dhruva, DZALAK the LOCAL MANI} GALNET Beacons Regarding GALNETA: Zac Antonaci | for Hey guys, really sorry for the Confusion. We will edit the Galnet article tomorrow but it is the text in the CG (the one with A6 starting the middle string). . Thanks - They were wrong, the morning will change place in Galnete to certain (to A6). Once you 3 fields for searching: 1) Inside the cube system (flights, check) 2) Search within the systems of the first clues {DAIBO, DI YOMI, DHRUVA, DZALAK MANI} 3) errors in decoding the original search string - there remained an extra letter - A sixth

It is also interesting that the method used to identify they were system names is related to the locales of the encrypted messages in different languages:

Well, well well. +REP
The encryption method is new and interesting.
In the past, the only two methods used to give clues for this kind of CG were MORSE and RIDDLES.
Now we have: HEX and a substitution letter + numbers code.

We should keep this in mind, while looking for new hidden messages in the UP.

I see today's Galnet has an official post of the Canonn guide to barney search criteria, it's not a player submission.

hence I do suspect that Barneys (& therefore MAs) are going to be important in the near future storyline; I therefore think it would be a good idea to support the Imp barney search CG & not sabotage it.

edit: and maybe we really should be trying to deliver MAs to the currently damaged stations recently listed.

Took a trip over to Omega-1 Aquari just to have a look out of curiosity.
Found the downed ship and the UA close by doing it's thing BUT the strange thing I encountered was when dropping out of Glide nearby the coordintes.

[video=youtube_share;GFUdhT5cEeg]https://youtu.be/GFUdhT5cEeg[/video]

I flew down to where I'd seen the flash, couldn't find any wreckage (although it was very dark and could have missed it) and there were half a dozen cargo canisters rolling around with random stuff (Platinum, Gallium, Moissanite, etc.)

I don't understand what I'm missing. How do the numbers decrypt? What is their plain text? It looks like the system names were just "anagramed" by knowing how many of each letter there were from the middle line of the message. That doesn't answer what the numbers are in each language?

That's strange. My best guess is that was an FSD-related flash from an NPC that shouldn't have been rendered in glide? Err... I think?
 
So I know everyone is a bit obsessed with either the CG or the Tip Off missions hint, but CMDR Mboogey117 on Reddit found something of note to me yesterday. And since I haven't seen it shared yet, I thought I'd post it here. Could be nothing. But could be something interesting.

https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/4swofy/crashed_type_9/

Now, there's a few things interesting about this. So I flew out myself to take a look at the galnet and the ship.

0XGn5MD.png

The CMDR had cropped the galnet a bit. So when I went to search for it I had no clue how old it was. It is indeed a Herald post, which we know to be either freelance player submitted galnet, or a developer post. This one, is NOT a freelance report. It is also dated May 25. The day before Engineers dropped. Or day of depending on actual patch time. So it has been in game since 2.1. I've seen them mention that players keep missing things they add to the game. This seems to be one of them. What do we usually associate Unknown Anomaly with? The UA. So maybe this pilot found something out there and got shot down for it. Anyway, the T9 was nothing interesting that I could find. It seemed to only have some varied metals around the wreckage. It was in a small crater and looked very placed. If he found an anomaly, was shot down, and then pulled into the gravity of the planet, then I would assume the anomaly was somewhere in space in the Chorathia system. This may also just be a clue to look for crashed ships and we could have found it earlier if we were looking and then paid more attention to tip offs earlier. Or, we aren't specifically looking for just a tip off. There could be more of these around the bubble. And just in case anyone wanted to bring up the chances of us finding a random galnet post, this system is very very close to Deciat, where Farseer is.

Anyway. Possibly tinfoil induced here. But it definitely seems like it was something they wanted us to find and never did. Its not random. Its placed by the devs. And it mentions an unknown anomaly. Enough of a lead for me to look into at least. Feel free to do your own searching.

I've seen such a flash yesterday, too, while landing on Alrai 1. The scene looked very similar. It was also close to a crater.
There were a lot of NPC ships around, so I didn't bother about it. My guess was that it was just an NPC ship enabling its FSD.

I know that sound....it appeared every time i dropped out of orbital cruise.
But every time I was close to a planetary port so I thought it was another ship close by, dropping out at the same time.

I would submit a ticket and wait for the response ;)

Was there a ship data core to scan?

The title is prefixed 'freelance report', so it is player-submitted: https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57860e6e9657ba2a39588b5a

Indeed it was our very own Nicholas Powell: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-Submissions?p=4220549&viewfull=1#post4220549

Edit: and particularly nicely written it is, too :)

No core that I could find. It seems to be a dead end other than the slight hint of an unknown anomaly nearby. Maybe he found a free floating Unknown Probe? I would have assumed he had a data core since he scanned the anomaly obviously. But maybe whoever shot him down removed it?
 
Has anyone been keeping track of all the systems where these crashed ships are found, with a view to seeing if there is any clear pattern, region or direction to them, or if they are evenly distributed?
