You took into account using Merope 5Cs gravity and not earths right? Have a bit of time and will go at it now.

I can tell you that that is wrong straight away.

EDIT: HAD a bit of time darn it.

I got the same number. The mass is lower but the rotation period is so much lower that it does indeed work out about 30,400km.

Hello again. TehnoMag here.

We have noticed about interesting thing. No Text. Just two images...

Eh...ummm...ehh.
Try as I might, I don't understand anything about those images. You flipped a protractor three times to orient what appears to be arbitrary roman numerals in the middle of it, so that it would fit with the UP symbol, if you flip that around as well? Is that it?

Of course, Merope 5c is listed as 0.0099 Earth masses, with a rotational period of 6.6 days and radius of 1478km. That's everything we need to know. The formula for the geostationary orbital radius around Merope 5c's centre of mass is:

r^3 = G*M*t^2/(4*pi^2)

cube root to get

r = [G*M*t^2/(4*pi^2)]^(1/3)

and subtract the radius of Merope 5c for the altitude. G is the gravitational constant, M is Merope 5c's mass, and t is the the orbital period you want, in this case 6.6 days.

BUT FIRST! I made a discovery last night. It seems that the Unknown Probe gets triggered in the presence of an Unknown Artefact that has received a signal from a Discovery Scanner.

Are you sure the UA is the variable. Is it possible it was simply the UP hearing the ADS but it won't signal till released.

What happens if you drop out of cruise somewhere, honk the ADS and then release a UP with no UA around.

Apologies if in the mass of replies you already addressed that. It just seems that maybe the UA isn't really the variable here, it's just the ordering of honking before release.

What if the variable/flag belongs to the global instance (as in shared environment)? I'm thinking that's the case simply because one player can release the probe and another player use the ADS to trigger the EMP.

Yes, this.
Anyway, if you find the time to report it, could be funny to hear what FD replies ;)

The beginning of the video shows me honking the ADS, then releasing the probe without the presence of an Unknown Artefact anywhere (free floating or in hold). The UP did not release an EMP.
I have also tested both cases several times and can confirm the UP goes off when you release it after using the ADS in the presence of an Artefact. It does not go off if you scoop it and release it again, only if you honk first then release, again in the presence of an artefact.

In the 'on surface' video the sound every 40 seconds or so shows a repeated and alternating pair of pattern above 15Khz

This is a testable theory,

if one player honks the UA and another releases the UP, being a shared instance the UP sound will arrive to the UP carrier, and if the sound goes to the one honking it is in the player/scanner memory, if not any of these cases then both or none players will get the UP sound. Done!

AFAICT the chirps on the planet seem to be something like...
- high note, | low note

[honk 0:00]
|-- --| -|- [honk 1:00]
--| --| --| [honk 1:48]
--- |-- [honk 2:40]
|-- --| --- --| [honk 3:30]
??? --| |-- [honk 4:25]
--| -|- --| [honk 5:20]
--- [honk 6:15]
|-- ??? --- [honk 7:08]
-|- --| --- [honk 7:58]
??? [honk around 9:00]
--| |-- ??? |-- [honk 9:52]

[my best guess, but prone to errors - and the ??? I couldn't guess]

This does not look right to me. No repeating patterns. :-/

Perhaps the UP only activates the 'message' directly after it's disco scanned?

Thanks, that provided the context/clarity I was looking for.

+ Lots of rep for the data, tests and info.

Thanks, anyway that's well known since before the UA morse discovery ;)
Speeding it up is the way we use to write down all the hi/low purrs, to check if there is structure. never found it in more than one year. But who knows?
Check on the FrontPage for NetSlayer's analysis of the Purrs/Tuba sounds.

Slow reply - been away for a few days. Yeah I know it has been looked at, it just seems that as it is a basic analysis of something that seems pretty common among all the alien objects that it might be worth revisiting in case we missed something in our fervour to make everything morse. I suspect there are other patterns you could use tonally to communicate or encode information.

Let me explain. The Radian graph may be beat by 4 parts(0-90 - I; 90-180 - II; 180-270 - III; 270-0 - IV). In every part of it we have unique positive or negative numbers (but same module values) of cos sin tan functions. I took simbols from signal and rearrange sphere, that simbols are aligned to the parts of Radian graph. I continue my calculation, because i pretty sure that this mystery are math mystery
