A Squrriel once stole a Chocolate wheaton off me
Hi,
I am following this thread (and the one before) for some time now. I have to admit I skipped whole pages in order to follow, so some things I am saying might have been told elsewhere without me noticing and on some others this is based on. I simply can't resitst to add my own thoughts on the matter.
What I am saying refers to the picture in the middle part of the sonogram. In my opinion the circle references a planet and as the UP points to Merope 5C I guess that is what is referenced. Spheres are often drawn in 2D as circles with ellipses drawn inside with differing widths and heights. This is not the case with this circle there are just arcs that might be parts of those ellipses. Therefore what we see might just be the top section of the sphere (planet). Based on that:
1. I think the 45 degree line in the picture represents a longitude meaning the center of the circle is either the south or north pole, the circle itself represent a latitude then.
2. The 90 degree arc might then be a hint on the radius of the planet. Based on the ratio of the radius of the circle to the radius of the arc two possible values for the latitude can be calculated.
3. The double arc might hint on Merope 5 to which Merope 5C is tidal locked according to some posts.
4. Based on this for the two lines longitudes can be estimated.
On what to find I am not sure it is something on the planet. I would expect something like a wormhole entrance or start of some sort of hyperroute or something like that. At least the two lines might indicate something like a flight corridor. Maybe starting FSD or doing a hyperjump at the right place does the trick. Maybe you need to jump to the next system with a black hole (Maia?). Maybe you need a key (UP?). The barnacles and UAs might just be a part of the system providing the service.
Or maybe its just late and the wormhole thing is just wishful thinking on my part in hopes to get easily to other interesting parts of the galaxy with my badly equipped FDL. Some well placed wormholes won't spoil the fun for the explorers but will help the rest of us to get to some nice places (hopefully with aliens). Just a little hint in case someone from FD reads this and is in need of some ideas.
In case something I said gets proven true I will be back in order to tell all of you 'Told you so'.
In any case
Have fun.

uh... you can't pull 'pics of crashed ships' from the game files. You'd still have to find them.
You *can* pull pics of game files from game files, though - albeit they're nowhere near as exciting.
Do you keep cats by any chance? perhaps in boxes?
Why are we letting this happen to our good scientists!? The squirrels must pay!
The Canonn scientists' benevolent fund will see you are recompensed, CMDR. Hold tight - the T6 is on its way.
Slowly, obviously.
umm whos talkin about crashed ships lol
Yeah someone posted this photo of NewGrange before on this thread right ?
(Sorry i didn't find the post)
It's obviouslyyy related ! I hope...
Hah! Let me just say that certain 'personality types' can NEVER get 'enough' homage....The only thing I'll say Z is to be fair Kerrash is the official community streamer, he doesn't need to get more viewers
Talking of squirrels reminds me of : (Supposed to start at 1:17, cant get it to)

No, I understand just fine. Look at his video again. It been posted tons of times. This is what I hear:
He then goes on to explain about Tip Off missions. Just as he was talking about crashed ships he get's interrupted by one of his guests, and that particular line of thought got washed away.
By his actions, not only his words, he seems to be really meaning his questions almost frustrated. Since the only crashed ships reported so far with any proof are human ships. Human Ship sightings with evidence vs Alien Ship sightings with evidence. The weight of evidence that no one else in the entire game has said they have found them.
However you may as well ask me to prove unicorns don't exist while your at it.
Listen up folks! Frank_G ( https://forums.frontier.co.uk/member.php/59394-Frank_G ) and I have a new theory! We would appreciate it if you take the time and read all this stuff.
The UAs are scanning ships. We think this is because they are searching for something specific. And this could be a ship suitable to transport the UPs. Therefore the UPs were found when such a possibility where given, although we dont know where they are exactly from. Maybe the UA are also a hint where a suitable ship should fly, that is why they are pointing to Merope system.
After the UAs found such ships and tell them they have to go to Merope the UPs were send out. But they still need transport to the actual position they need to be. As we understand they dont have propulsion and maybe they are dropped like a FSD just near a sun. Consequently the UPs tell us where they have to to go. And this information is coded into the image.
Please have a look at the attached image.
We believe the image has to be divided into more parts and has to be simplified. Let me walk you through.
The bottom left shows an UA that searchs for ships which has to transport the UP to a specific location. This location is defined by the two lines sticking from the planet.
The two markings below the planet (left and right) are not a morse code and definitely different to the similar markins on the top. We are sure about this because the spacing is different and effectively a different 'font' which wouldnt make any sense if it should be understood as one. Instead they look like a dimensioning line in a technical drawing. Which is a weird thing because they dont fit to anything in the image. This is because we believe it is dimensioning an orbit! In the image we counted the pixel for the planet and calculated the kilometer per px. For Merope with about 1480km this means 1px is 3.58km. The dimensioning line represents therefore a distance of 2112km. With this the distance from the surface can be calculated, giving a distance of about 317 km from surface to orbit. A geostationary orbit on earth has a distance of 35,786km. The kicker is, that Merope 5C has 1/100 of the earth mass. Meaning a geostationary orbit is only 1/100 of the distance. 357.86km in this case. That fits suspiciously well...
For the other marking in the image: The top left represents a top-down image of the planet an the orbit as an abstract drawing. Meaning the image shows the planet from the north- or southpole.
The bottom left defines the area in which the UP wants to be placed.
Top right shows that it wants to scan or be scanned.
The line in the bottom right helps defining the orientation of the planet and should, as a wild guess, point to the sun, Merope 5.
With this all information should be together to determine the position:
The distance from the surface, 317km.
Planet Merope 5C with the orientation line to the sun.
A geostationay orbit is above the equator, so with the planet in a top-down view the position of the two lines can be relatively easy calculated.
And with all that the position where to honk a UP (or just put it there) is perfectly defined and is not overdimensioned. And it althoug fits with the lore, as the Feds wants the UPs for orbital testing. :-O
Maybe someone with good mathematical skillz can give us the area in question and someone with an UP try this?
Fly safe and let us know what you think. o7

like i said you again mis understood whos talking about that video not me please dont comment on someones post with out knowin the full conversation
That's cached ships

You may want to go over our entire 'back and forth' I originally quote LordZoltan. It was you who then quote me, since then it has been you and I have a conversation - or at least that's what I thought.
Obviously I was wrong - sorry.
