did just leave the NGC 7822 nebula and it is indeed a great place to be lots of black holes to find

Please do, I went there to look for barney some time ago, and it is a great place to be, plus you can after that try and cross to the next arm of the galaxy
 
just cannot seem to find another UP. Found 5 convoy dispersal T4's all with condas and a T9 hauling weapons and something called halfonium? ...........negative contact.........out

Oh? I found it to be really weird. The one thing I wonder is if I didn't get the audio because I was too far? I never moved after releasing the UP while it was triggering, probably because I didn't want to bump into it.
In your video you don't have the UP targeted after release though. Have you tried it while having it targeted? Not sure if that makes a difference, but that's the only discrepancy I can see.
Still waiting for the Barnacle Data Scan test btw ;)

I know. But it's really worth a try IMHO. Let's assume | is high, - is low. See what comes out.
I must be doing something wrong with the audio test, as I get them in groups of 5, with two exception (in bold), between honks. I have the speed set at 3x and it's a clear distinction between a Low and a High pitch. The sequence I get from the video using "my faulty method" is (- = Low, l = High, (H) = HONK):
<single omitted prior first honk> (H) l - l l - (H) l - - l l (H) - - l l - (H) - l - - l (H) l - - l l (H) - - l l - (H) - l - - l (H) l - - l l (H) - l - - (H) l l - - l l (H) - l l - l (H) - <end of file>

Tried converting the sounds between honks from binary to numbers and got a sequence of 9 - 12 - 25 - 22 - 12 - 25 - 5 - 6 - 4 (22) - 12 - 18. The number in paranthesis is if I carry the first sound after the next honk to make them all sequences of five.

Now, someone please tell me where I am going wrong! :)

Found something, it may be old though - but at least there are some dudes in the bubble that already know about the probe :)
This has been answered already, but thought I'd add one tidbit. The UPs showed up as illegal at the release of 2.1, hence my notion that the UPs didn't exist in the game prior to 2.1.

Where exactly are you looking? Most of the UP Convoys have been found around Planet 5 in G 99-49, Planet B 5 A and A 8 in ROSS 47. So if you're looking for a UP where it is known to have been, I would look there. If you are looking for a new location, I would go somewhere else ;)
 
Sittin' on Merope 5c
(to the tune of Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay)

Sittin' on Merope 5c
I'll be sittin' when the Thargoids come
Watchin' starships fly in
Then I'll watch 'em fly away again
Sittin' on Merope 5c
Lookin' for clues to UP relays
Sittin' on Merope 5c
Wastin' time


I left my home in LHS 3447
Headed for Merope
Cause the CG goals were boring
And Powerplay wasn't going my way
So, I'm just gonna sit on Merope 5C
Lookin' for clues to UP relays
Sittin' on Merope 5c
Wastin' time


Looks like, nothin's gonna change
The threadnaught remains the same
I can't do what Michael Brookes wants me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same


Sittin' here restin' my bones
But this mystery won't leave me alone
It's 450 light years I've roamed
Just to make this rock my home


So I'm just gonna sit on Merope 5c
Watchin' starships fly away
Sittin' on Merope 5c
Wastin' time.
 
Last chance to hear something in audio: https://soundcloud.com/alex-djentelmen/ed-up-cut-voice

Please confirm voice is there or not.

Some sound effects in this game carries voice. Some of it is actually hard to make out (and they just gave it a boost to help). This recording is not one of them, I can't hear anything meaningful in it at all sorry.

There's one someone posted a while back where I can hear "I'm going...to make you BURN" but most people disagreed with me. Which troubles me, because if I'm wrong it probably reflects badly on my mental state. Wanna go camping with me? I'll leave the axe at home I promise :D
 
TehnoMag here (again)

I think i am on something big. (Or it another insane theory)

Translation from my russian via Google (better later)

I'll start from afar
what we have
we have 4 3-bit numbers in the corners
4 glyph
3 dimensional sphere representation in 2 dimensions (read circle)
3-bit numbers can be represented as numbers 1 2 3 4
without zero, i.e. There is no ---
Further
go from 1 to 4
1 - we have two angles. Between them 30 degree (not 28, I checked)
2 - we have a glyph that represents 90 degrees
3) - we have a two line by 90 degrees each
4 - radius?
Now let's see
|-- = 30
-|- = 90
-|| = 90 + 90 = 180
--| =?
but
if we see that before we were dealing with angles, then it is possible to say that --| = 0
BUT
we have not zero symbol or any similar to zero.
which means that we can write here only one value, which in this view will equivalently 0, but it is not
this value is 360
and we get the following figures

30 90 180 and 360
or 3x10; 3x3x10; 3x3x20 3x3x40
or 3*10; 3*3*10; 3*6*10; 3*12*10

and in the end we got this:
1 3 6 12 and
30 90 180 360
all have base of 3
it my be a KEY for some thing.

ADDED:
Just noticed, that we missed something.

|-- = 30
||- = ???
-|- = 90
-|| = 180
--| = 360

If i am corret then we can write 60 in ||- and we got fully picture
|-- = 30
||- = 60
-|- = 90
-|| = 180
--| = 360

Wow seriously...I read this went to planet 5 and two back to back UP. First one was botched lol (long story) but second one is in tow thanks :)
 
Because if there is no video it did not happen here is shorted version of the video I took. The interesting bit is from about 5.30mims. I except that this is probably a glitch, but what the hey!.

that looks like a FSD jump going away from the planet to me bud.

Well done on getting another UP!
I've spent a couple of hours in G99-49 and Ross 47 this afternoon but I didn't see any other commanders and none of the Threat 4 Convoys I encountered had anything unusual in. Since there are now several UPs in Canonn hands, I'll focus on my hunch of looking for something between 210LY and 240LY from Merope. There are some inhabited systems in this region but it's a huge volume to cover, so I'll focus on one or two systems then go back to getting my Anaconda prepped for another Jaques run if I don't find anything today.

that's it... !

we lost another cmdr.

the effect of the alien virus is so powerful.
please someone write that on Galnet and warn Palin asap.

Could the drawing also be the key to decrypting the 7 bit "tuba" sequences from the UA that we tirelessly analyzed but never solved on the earliest threadnoughts? You know, the sequences that never had more than 2 consecutive ones or zeroes?

Ehm the tuba sounds ARE the PURRS at hi speed. That's what we're trying to do right now:)
