Hmm. Because of the noise it's difficult to tell what length the lower horizontal dashes are, but certainly the spacing is different. There could be a really simple out-of-game explanation for that - there's so much noise a the lower end of the image they had to add additional spacing or the two dashes would have started blending into each other.

I've listened to that three times now, & it seems to me he is saying there are multiple crashed 'goid ships to be found in 2.1 & we need to listen to the tips.
this is confusing as to date the ships found in wrecks all (I believe) appear to be human in type; unless they are AI-piloted copies of our ships, but I'm convinced he was talking about 'goid ships.

About that message we sent for aliens (This one: http://www.activeseti.org/images/evpatoria_2003.jpg)
Did anyone look at it and notice this part?
I don't know, it looks somehow familiar to me, wonder where I saw something very close to this one.
Also, I don't think our message is very difficult to understand or solve, all you need to do is to decipher the first part where the mathematics is defined. The rest is pretty straight forward (if you are human that is, for an alien, I don't know how simple it would be).
Edit: I'll be delving right in this. I somehow feel this was the actual inspiration combined with the golden record and FD created their own counter-SETI message for us to understand. This: http://activeseti.org/papers/evpatoria07.pdf Should give some insight into how that works.

I dont like the distortion on the map in the middle of the message. It is odd and doesnt seem to fit as planet map. It should make sense, the grid.
How about this: The spherical object is not a map from planet looked at from space but rather the other way round: A map of the stars looked at from a certain position on the planet?

In my view the more technical minds tackling this the better
MadDog, keep thinking and arguing for that line of logic. We need progress.
When you or anyone else find a solution everyone shall be convinced.
I agree with your observation there is a slight difference, which can be reasonably explained but also argued against. I just disagree with your conjecture so far.
We need both sides of thinking though (and more), so please keep cracking at it.
Folks, lets' focus on the problems to solve - and not who to convince.
Alien sound on wave scanner!
I need clean trousers guys..
I just recorded an Alien sound on the wave scanner..
Best heard with the volume a tad higher and with headphones..
Now if you excuse me, going to change clothes.

Here octal explained, including fractionary numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal
To me, this reads:
001110011101111101111001001100000000001111000110010010100100000010101000100110110000010010110101000010000111100001011101000011001000110111101111111010100111010110010010111001011100101110111010110000111100000101011001111000
(single dot or dash = 0; double dot or dash = 1)
What sound do you mean? Until the shutdown everything sounds normal.
Sorry, what & where. I didn't catch your obvious clue, all normal sounds in the SRV there.. Unless you just wanted to show us how it is when you run out of fuel?

I did hear the 'tick-tick' from the left ear, but thats a SRV sounds.
I hope the Cmdr that posted this original thought can forgive me for not quoting him, I copied his text to read later and can't find his post now. The highlighted portion is the bit I want to focus some attention to, he may be on to something.
"A few things that have got brushed under the carpet as it were.
The mysterious Diamondback Explorer designated “S6 -7” found briefly ‘scanning’ Obsidian Orbital. If this report is true then perhaps our unknown ‘friends’ are scanning suitable ships through the Unknown Artifacts which actively scan ships and the surrounding area. These UA’s may relay this info back to the owner.
Could this indicate that our friends know how a Diamondback Explorer(1) now works and if so, would the Unknown Probe, when scanned actually be able to FULLY control or access this ship? If so a brave CMDR would then honk the probe in a Diamondback Explorer.
The other thing is the way these guys communicate. Image and sound. The UA’s react to proximity and the UP’s react to being scanned. Is there any other way to communicate to them via other modules?(2) A lot has been tried so far but we still might be missing something, be it a module or objects we can store in our holds. Like Hydrogen was key to unlocking Voyager’s disks something similar might help in this endeavor.
Also FD hinted in a Galnet article that we might have ‘a key’ . Nicely hinted in a green colour. Could key actually be a musical reference? And ‘a’ be a tone like a-minor? There are hints that these things like to sing and then they find you.(3) And on that ‘note’ ( see what I did there? )could those that have sung ( scanned the probes ) be expecting to be found? Prepare yourselves"
1) I think it is worth trying an ADS honk with a DBX just to rule out the importance of this one make and model ship that was clearly named in Galnet. Others have said that FD is most likely to communicate there, people in and close to FD keep stressing the importance of GNet for hints and news.
2 & 3) Item 3 makes reference to musical scale and singing. I think this Cmdr is on to something, I hope we can name him so he can have credit if this works. I did some looking and here is what I found.
A) The hex code for that color broke down to 226131 or in ASCII "a1".
B) A1 is the Contra Octave, the lowest octave. Perhaps someone should check to see if there is something in a low octave in the burst from the UP.
C) 226131 also broke off into two separate Alt-codes for ASCII, Γ â. This may be reaching so you decide. Going with music, Γ would be "C" and â is just "a". If someone here knows anything about music perhaps the scale is worth looking at, scales have keys don't they?
D) Back to Item 2 - If something does come of the music and singing angle, is there a way to transmit the needed sounds back to the UP? Does an instrument in our inventory allow such interactions? I would be curious as to why the ADS woke it up, obviously it uses some kind of sound-based system to scan. It must have hit the sweetspot the UP needed to say hello.
I'm thinking this first contact will be a little more along the lines of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'.

Not sure if you're trying to be funny, but listening to that with my headphones turned up would have deafened me.
Saw this and wondered what you guys would make of it. It's probably nothing but the shape of the star layout reminded me of the image from the newsletter:
{PLACE HOLDER FORUM SAYS FILE TYPE INVALID DESPITE BEING JPG FILES CAN SOMEONE HELP EXPLAIN HOW TO POST IMAGES)
{PLACE HOLDER FORUM SAYS FILE TYPE INVALID DESPITE BEING JPG FILES CAN SOMEONE HELP EXPLAIN HOW TO POST IMAGES)
ARNE YOU JERK, I HAD THE VOLUME ON FULL WHEN YOU RAN OUT OF FUEL.
What if those encrypted digits at the corners is a clue to switch quarters into the right sequence?
Like this
Does it look like something?)
Like this
I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary on the wavescanner, can you point to the correct time in the video? All sounds from the scanner seem ok to me and the noise is the usual outside sources if you ask me. You running out of fuel and everything shutting down was the most scary thing in there
What you have there is the sound of a metallic meteorite, unless there's something else that I'm missing. Go to http://wavescanner.net/ , check metallic meteorite and then hit the play button. Sounds like the same audio to me.
