Nope I'm not trolling. What I saw 100% was an "Organic Outcrop". I was in VR at the time and screenshots produced double image without the HUD so I cropped it out and posted (http://imgur.com/LO0jVbE). Shadowplay was inactive so no video either. Whilst I was writing the post the VR compositor powered down so when I came back to it I was physically out of the SRV with dead controls (VR issue). I had no choice but to log out and in again, but the outcrop was gone. I am massively frustrated by this. I spent some time looking for it but nausea kicked in so I called it a night. Re-attempted search again this morning and felt sick quite quickly (SRV on mountain not great in VR even on 90fps). So I reverted back to 2d screen and spent 1hr searching with still no luck.

Co-ordinates of the Organic Outcrop are at Merope 5c -26.4637 -156.4498



100% sure what I saw.

Update: searching this morning resulted in an application crash in that area. I can't remember the last time I had a crash, it's been that long.

Thanks for confirming - we will look some more tonight. I spent 2 hours last night driving around the whole area.

So it was on the whitish dirt then with the grey rocks. Not the brownish dirt with the brown rocks. So it wasn't on the "sand" bed but up in the mountains.
 
Didn't Gypsy 12 say he had something he was going to show us when he woke up today? Is he here yet?

was it one of his "cut everything up, reverse it, reassemble the pieces in the order specified by applying trusted tea leaf reading methodologies, feed the result into Google Translate and translate into 5 different languages and then back to his native language" things?
 
5 minutes ago something happened.

i was carrying the UA to the -28 -140 area .. when i entered the zone the cargo autoejected the UA
a coincidence ? is it normal that after a long time that you carry the UA it autoejects from the cargo ?

Alittle off topic but can someone point me to a video/sound of the jingle you hear in orbital cruise when locating barnacles?? I'm pretty sure there's one around somewhere, I just can't find it (I've checked the front page and I can't find it). Thanks

Sounds very Holistic.
 
Has anyone tried using their ship's headlights to communicate with UAs or UPs, copying the 4 symbols as a guide (dots and dashes)?

I lazily browsed here and came up with R W D U, going left-to-right top-to-bottom, and can't think of what it means or what the rainbow curve signifies...but, do we all remember Independence Day and trying to communicate through light-signal morse code?

I'm mostly just curious if anybody's thoroughly tried that route before.

Fantastic idea!

Totally out of the box and if its real that would be a really really good IN WORLD solution to the puzzle instead of all this sound engineer math crap that is immersion breaking.
 
Hi all,

do we think the crashed alien ship mentioned by a certain streamer has anything to do with the code/signal or is separate of this UP event entirely? (provided we believe him, which I personally do)

Who actually said this and when was it? Would like to have a listen myself.

Anecdotally though, assuming it is true, I really feel like it must be linked.

Perfectly normal if you dont have CRCR
 
Was you hatch damaged buy the UA? Do you have palins cargo racks


my cargo was damaged a lot by the presence of the UA.
Palin doesn't want me , i made a trip of 5000 ly and he didn't send me the invite.[mad]
I sent a ticket to the support for that

can happen with as little as 10% damage to hatch

if you don't have special cargo racks and you don't keep fixing it with auto repair bots yes. The UA corrodes everything around it (your ship's components will have damage if you take a look) and eventually it will damage your cargo hatch and fall out. Once that happens it will decay and die.

Certainly within the realms of possibility. Currently the UPs have only been found in the bubble. Tip Off missions, to which he refers, happen around the bubble. They may be linked in story but have separate paths. They may not be linked. Keep all options open until proved otherwise, I'd say.
 
I honestly starting to think that we won't resolve this puzzle till frontier wants us to solve it..

Some kind of acknowledgement we are still in business would be much appreciated to be honest.
