The patch notes mentions Fed resupply stations...
I think this was mentioned a couple of pages ago. Still, thank you for contributing more recordings of it
Ok, so, I'm going to throw a variation of my "It's not necessarily something to be dissected with mathematics" theory out for perusal. Earlier, I suggested that the image was three panels, each one containing pictograms that could be read as instructions. Here's what I'd like folks to consider:

The sphere is a pictogram and the four line/dot symbols around it are steps. What does the sphere remind you of? Well, I think it reminds me of the nav-target sphere on the HUD:

I've heard several folks say that the "fuzz" around the sphere was intentional and not an artifact of embedding the image in the sound. Well, when you engage the FSD, the target on your HUD flashes not unlike the fuzz around the sphere in the spectrograph.
I had also previously suggested that the two arcs in the upper right of the diagram could represent honking the ADS.
Based on some of the community theories of how to interpret the four symbols as binary, if you look at the quadrants in the order: Lower Right, Upper Left, Upper Right, Lower Left you could possibly interpret the instructions as:
1) Set nav destination
2) Engage FSD
3) Honk ADS
4) Show up somewhere
So, first off, I perused the first post and I couldn't see anywhere that someone tried honking with their FSD engaged. If that has in fact happened, then mea culpa and I'll go back into the weeds to let my eyes continue bleeding. I do know that you can honk while the FSD is engaged, but I'm extremely unlikely to ever wind up in the presence of a UP
It may be oooooooh so much bloody-eyed, lack-of-sleep induced hooey, but at least it is testable. The question is what to set your nav destination to... Merope 5 and 5C seem like good candidates.
Any thoughts, or should I just go and try to get some sleep?
much hooey, especially thinking it's the hud compass because its round.
HOWEVER someone needs to do the highwake test, just so we can get it off the list:
activate a jump while not pointed at the destination.
honk it and get emped
if nothing special happens, turn to the destination and finish the jump
super fast to check while you're there- it's one of the tests people can do while other people are doing other tests with the same UP
I mentioned this in the stream but I'll mention it on here as well. I think this message is a combination of letters and numbers from different Alphabets from different languages. The image in the middle of this picture looks like the japanese katakana letter Na, another one on stream looked like the symble for Ri.
Might be worth having a look at the russian, arabic and mandarin seeing if the images in the sound match up.
I agree with this sentiment. There is the game, which can be played by itself & of itself but that provides only a barebones experience. But there is also the game, plus the forum threads, plus the third party tools, plus Galnet articles, plus the storyline & brought all together this combination is awesome. However it is perhaps not as coherent as it might be. I think FD are learning how to construct & run this type of experience while we are learning how to play it.

Oh well next week Ed shall be educated by the Canonn once again. I asked and he sad he's wearing "the outfit" too
That's cool but OMG turn off the super high frequency spectrogram, everyone keeps seeing the mirrored artifacts and thinking it's meaningful.
Mirrors are like tinfoil collectors.. they amplify woo and crazy in both the EM spectrum and sound waves.
I'm still not convinced it is aliens. I fully expect both Fed and Imp to get a little hostile over ownership of the barnacles.
I'm just saying people shouldn't feel they've been offered their hat because their computer isn't good enough, they're in a rural area or something. I genuinely believe we're just missing things for being too obvious.
...I'm going to give up on English and make a language all of my own

Hi all, just found a UA in Hyades Sector ZE-Z BO. Is it a new that you'll get a "Ship Scan Detected" warning when you get near a UA?

You should read all about them on the front page. No is the short answer
Ahh sorry, got all excited
I just found another UA so that's three in a row.
Check front page
Okay so after that this T3 convoy slipped through my fingers because of a bug, i spent 1h looking for another one without success.... and got killed by a pirate capital ship in a T4 distress call
Also, i just learned about "shipping lanes" / "deep space" location in supercruise and their effect on USS... I'll resume the search tommorow.

Check Merope. I saw two convoys there.Okay so after that this T3 convoy slipped through my fingers because of a bug, i spent 1h looking for another one without success.... and got killed by a pirate capital ship in a T4 distress call
