I'm sorry, I should have been clearer. My comment was not intended to be a random set of instructions that I followed, but rather another experiment I tried which was not successful.

I am following up on my prior experiment (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...ad-8-The-Canonn/page152?p=4271121#post4271121). I realized another interpretation for the two marks in the lower left quadrant was a compass angle instead of latitude lines.

If that is the case, and straight "North" on the image is compass point 0 degrees, then the instructions could be in step 3 to get out in an SRV, and in step 4 to drive the the direction indicated in the lower left hand quadrant of the image, which looks to be about bearing 315 degrees (about halfway between the bearing of 270 degrees, and the straight north bearing of 360 or 0 degrees). This makes some sense to me, as I am inclined to believe the the SRV will be involved because since the Horizons update I feel like FD has been pushing SRV use as part of pushing buying the Horizons season pass.

So, I tried landing at 0 degrees lat, and 0 degrees long at a bearing of 315 degrees on compass, and after maybe 10 or twenty minutes, found nothing of note. I wanted to share this in case someone else was thinking of doing the same thing to save others some time.

Did you mean 225 instead of 315 or just go the wrong way?

Never mind, I'm not quite sure how you've oriented the image - it's not entirely clear which direction you want to go though?

Impossible except you have a free floater since it goes poooof after 6 minutes....

In other words, FD recently tested free floaters for the first time (they probably weren't even there before 2.1.05 due to a glitch or because we weren't meant to be able to find them yet) and discovered a problem with the audio after 6 minutes.

I'm guessing you mean the next step after the step we are trying to solve, or are you calling Mr Brookes a teller of tall tales?

i think your missing my point here yes the UA and UP are space based i have`nt disagreed with that please point out where i said that, and like i said probe points toward 5c a PLANET the image looks to me like a PLANET so i believe in that theory
 
Hey folks - I've been following the thread for a while, and finally thought I might have something to contribute :)

With the patch notes mentioning a change to the UP's regular audio, and the fact that the audio of the UAs was relevant to their purpose, I decided to have another detailed listen to the UP's ambient sound.

One thing that stuck out for me was every 30 seconds or so, there's a sequence of tones above the purr. It's a different sequence each time. With all the talk of things "singing", I figured anything musical might warrant a closer inspection.

I went in and cleaned up the audio to remove the rumbles and the harmonics, leaving me with what sounded like it could've been played on a wind instrument. The tones do match up with standard musical notes. Check it out:

The notes it plays are G A E D G E, E A G D Bb. When I saw "EDGE" I thought I was onto something, but at least with this recording I found I can't figure out anything more. This might just be the sound designer playing some random notes on a recorder to get creepy music, but hey, anything might be a clue!

Check the previous posts please.

Noticed that as well: I think it is about the NORMAL UP transmission:

And that's because a Canister LIFE is 6 minutes: I can assume the total transmission of the UP now lasts more than 6 minutes, so we were not able to hear all of it.
Now it will be 6 minutes.
Time to record it all again, and check the purrs.

Those are the two Howls: check the frontpage, you'll find I've already put those notes on the score some time ago ;)
You can play the song if you like ;)

But I agree with you, those two Howls could be meaningful to decode the drawing. A key for the Key? ;)

Guys...

I really think the following things should be done -and concentrated on - in order to eliminate possibilities.

As follows:

1. The UP will have to be recorded again. This is paramount to the task at hand (RE: FD's recent changes to the audio length) We will have to do a clean compare with both new and old.

2. The structure of the Merope system needs to be investigated in more detail. We need to discover why Merope 5 has no distance marker. Why it appears to be a non-orbiting body. We need to research why Merope 2 might be important, and certainly why Merope 2A has a perfect 24 hour day with 0 orbital inclination. IF the signal is a map, then we need to understand our environment. Otherwise we stand no chance at deciphering it.

((Note on the side here: I have tried modelling the Merope system to get an overview and have failed consistently. Unless another body is added, the system breaks apart after a few cycles. - but I have also had a LOT of difficulty modelling various system bodies as they are quite simply on the FD side - scientifically implausible. Whichever way the COBRA engine works, it is pretty basic, and doesn't take account of density, atmospheric loss, and god knows how many other things. (You can try this yourself using: http://universesandbox.com/) - so - on the bright side - its not going to be that complicated!))
 
Yes, the changelog regarding the UP recording isn't related to the puzzle. It meant that a probe deployed would start playing its normal sound, the probe would die at 6 minutes, but the sound would still be playing.

Hrm still thinking the UP image is somehow related to our ship radar display as I mentioned in this post -

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...8-The-Canonn?p=4282345&viewfull=1#post4282345

For those that are interested, i have been mucking around trying to overlap each quandrant on top of the other but i dont have the tools to do it myself apparently. Not sure if it is even necessary but i would like to at least make the background transparent so i can see if it will line up in the right spot. Maybe i have to buy a PC or something because that's as far as i can go on imagination and observation, the only tools i have at my disposal.

i know many other people see math symbols and different things but i dont know about any of that stuff, the only things i personally know of that matches those symbols is in the game in my ship radar. I'm not sure its probably too simple to be that right?

THIS ^^^^
After the update, we'll be able to get the full UP sound, the REGULAR sound while floating in space, not the MESSAGE. The message lasts only few seconds (25, if I'm not mistaken)

I indeed may have misunderstood your comment which I took to mean the next step in the current mystery is to land on a planet. I took MBrookes comment to mean that the current stage of the mystery is still space based. Other mysteries may be surface based. But either way, having people on the ground looking for stuff is as good as any other idea at the moment.

and the probe points to 5c which is why i believe the next step is to land on a planet
 
I don't think you understand what Tangent means.


sorry ment chord
