The data is the image in the sound: c'mon people, it made it on the BBC website among others!

Flashing heads of the UP is interesting, but contains nothing IMO.

We already have what we need, and we have to decode it.

Are you sure? is it possible there's a cipher located elsewhere?
 
Damn, so these DO spawn in this system... i have been around for two day, doing missions for Sirius, checked every T4 USS Convoy but find nothing...

Might be interesting to take a look at all conditions when it happened (system state, faction etc...). I suspect that these spawn only when you are winged up....

I was hoping to see some thing interesting in the NPC chatter. While it's tailored to the UP, I think it's most likely random / none specific. It seems to repeat the same in both systems, or give variants of the same messages. Talking of test sites, orbital testing. No co-ordinates are mentioned. The only thing I see specifically mentioned is from the following:

Transport to Command. Affirmative on the pick up of Cargo NHE-17, on route to test site.

Transport to Command. NHE Cargo secure. On route to designated co-ordinates for orbital testing.


This may or may not be common knowledge.

Assumption, dear fellow. Assumption.
 
I am interested in the route the convoy took, ross 47, yes we have found them there before, but why do they go to that station, why was the mission a success in reaching that system (and maybe that station) if other UP's are in that station, what happens if we honk a UP close to it, is there anything else in that system, questions....questions.... wish i could find a UP too.
 
I think main issue is that people look for things on the planets.
1. UA are in the game before planetary landing was possible
2. FDevs already stated that Thargoids can be meet in encounters since initial game


Look for them in the stars?
What if we are looking for a derelict star ship, or station that is orbiting somewhere?
If you cannot select it any way it will not be visible to you until you get really really close

It sounds like the Feds are just doing random stuff as well. Or are they???

"Orbital Testing" is an interesting phrase to just drop in there though, isn't it? considering one of the symbols of the message looks a little like an instruction to go into orbit...

I'm aware rizal did some orbital testing of his own (dropping the UP and honking it in free fall). But were they at 'designated coordinates'?
 
NHE stands for ....... new Hope experiment perhaps ( terraforming genesis device usage ?)

NHE-17 does that relate to a terraforming or other colony somewhere.

Orbital testing ( satelite ?)
 
Hey people - watch the video Donmarraa linked.

Tones have been added to match the way the UP lights up after it gets scanned:

I'm crap with morse but to me the last 4 letters could be ...... S E E R - I'm not sure why the spacing between letters varies though.

Time to engage in a little experimentation.



Has anyone taken one of these probes to an ENGINEER?

Several are explorers (Farseer, Alvira) and all require exploration distance for access. Palin in particular requires parts of the probe, but the others might mention something?

find the designated co ordinates, sit within 5ls of the planet orbiting until u get a signal source and pick up the key to the next stage
 
What if the spectogram is the key to explaining the UA and UP's purposes?

Would it be possible that the circle is the UA shell, center is Merope as shown by the radius line? This would put some limits on the maths we can run from the spectogram.
 
Maybe a bit of reverse engineering required from all of you audio experts, if you had a coordinate say -26.3515 and -156.4056 how would you put these into a basic picture ?
 
MB....
If we organised a massive group of players to comb every inch of the Merope 5c surface would we be wasting our time?
thanks :)

I wholeheartedly disagree. IMHO the image means nothing on its own in its current state. It needs to either become "active" or can be used to understand other data
 
You are applying your own bias to steer the group.


Isn't that what essentailly every largely unfounded theory or assumption contrary to that here is trying to do? In a forum based largely on assumptive reasoning it seems a pretty fair statement to make and just as worthy of examination.
