Ah excellent - I did check and it still said Advanced where I looked in the main explanation.

Yes. I have done a couple of tests on this. you dont need a UA to honk a UP. a honked UA next to a UP changes nothing. I believe we have done everything we can with the UA... for now at least.
I took a look at this the other day - I wrote down the notes that were played (I mapped slightly different notes than on the front page, but close enough), and tried to see if I could place them on the image according to the circle of fifths, or just around the circle as if it were an octave. I was hoping maybe I could rotate the note letters into another key that spelled something more sensical, or see if they made any particular visual pattern, but nothing jumped out at me.
Unfortunately I don't think there's sufficient information in the image to really extract anything meaningfully precise from any specific angles. I had the idea that maybe when the notes landed in a quadrant, you use the binary number associated with that quadrant... but again, nothing obvious popped out. Maybe someone else can try something more creative along similar lines?
I pulled out the audio of the unknown probe from your video into a spectrum analyzer. It does not seem to match the one at https://kloopy.com/edaudio/
Some of the "letters" are the same and the message format is similar but for example there is a letter, ____, and ----, in your audio that is not among those found in kloopy's analysis. But I don't know how you guys pulled out |--||-|--||--|--| from it.

I am looking at the audio now, and sometimes they come in groups of four. I even found a group of five ay 1:19 in the UP video above. What is your take on that?
I think the UP symbol is a response to the discovery scanner.. The discovery scanner shows us nearby celestial objects. It gives us data such as mass, radius, semi major axis and orbital period. What if this is just an attempt to describe that in a simple graphic. What I'd be intersted to see are other scanners... Particularly what happens when the UA scans the UP
Ok thankyou for that, I must have just misunderstood the post. To be perfectly clear, honking a UP always produces the emp everytime, is that correct?
Edit: Just re read the post I was referring to and I did misunderstand. The commander stated that honking a UA then releasing the UP has the same emp effect as just honking the UP. Oh except no audio comes through in the ship. Maybe a bug maybe significant might still be worth taking some sound from a honked UA, but I leave it up to the professionals to make that decision. Thanks anyway

What? :O
Binary needs 2 digits. On/Off. True/False. 1/0. ./-. Whatever you choose. For the example below, I choose True/False, just because:
Decimal 1 into binary = True (a group of 1, already your theory fails)
Decimal 2 into binary = True, False (a group of 2, your theory still fails)
Decimal 3 into binary = True, True (another group of 2, your theory continues to fail)
Decimal 4 into binary = True, False, False (yay, a group of 3. I suppose your theory could work, if there is no number below 4)
Decimal 5 into binary = True, False, True (This still works, so now there's 4 and 5)
Decimal 6 into binary = True, True, False (This still works, so now there's 4, 5 & 6)
Decimal 7 into binary = True, True, True (Still works, so now 4, 5, 6 & 7)
Decimal 8 into binary = True, False, False, False (Ooops, not a group of 3 anymore. Theory fails)
I find it particularly hard to swallow, that the Probe would be counting in binary only between 4 and 7.

Ahhh good to know .... Hmmmm so it can't be a direct response to the discovery scanner... Gerrr
. Well still holding out for a good UA scan recording

Like you say, you are trying to decode something. When you come here and tell everyone what to do, which is what you did in the post I quoted, you better be prepared to present something more than "trying".
A small addition of "I believe" or "My theory is" would have made your post come off very different. Those are the "qualifying words" I was talking about.
I've transcribed what the UP outputs into both morse and binary. It's 4 letters in Morse, as you might imagine, and if put onto a coordinate map the same as the UA, it yields a right triangle with a sort of tail on the X axis. It does not convert into anything in binary, and I really don't see how the UP spectro can be used as a "decoder ring" as you put. One would assume you turn it, how so? Do you point the 138 degree line at the symbol you want to decode, and it indicates it somewhere else?
There are absolutely three in a row, even four in a row, if you are listening to the "chirps" in the 740–1260hz range, which alternate between a tone centered at around 860hz and one centered around 1080hz. Right between 5:59 and 6:01 in the Mhyre's UP video there is a series of three chirps in a row of the 1080hz tones.
Also, here is my whack at a 3D version of the signal analysis interpreting the double-arc symbol to mean "rotation" and using its -|| to mean {0,1,1}, the normalized vector {0,1/sqrt(2),1/sqrt(2)}:

Perhaps you might see why I came to think possibly the ship is inside the planet. I have tried to find the spot that I show on the globe at the end and when I went to that spot I found a lot of the "discolored canyon" type areas all around, and a wrecked Condor, but no barnacles, no UPs, no UAs, nothing special. But it was a huge area, and I didn't scour it exhaustively.
I can't even read
Don't drink and fly.
Just was looking at obsidian orbital on the gal map about to plot a route. Firstly Maia in the system description states - "Many strange artefacts have been found in this region of space". Have any artefacts been found in Maia actually?
Secondly, obsidian orbital states its economy as "high tech and unknown economy". Is this a normal economy type as I have never noticed it anywhere else?
Sorry if these have been mentioned before but I only just noticed and thought I would ask here about it.

While I'm not sure this even remotely useful this has been on my mind a few weeks. Perhaps one explanation for the diagonal line inside the radial is the shadow of something.

This would maybe lend some help to those thinking in temporal values.

Can't speak to the artefacts thing. But I noticed Jaque's station also has unknown economy listed. I haven't noticed it anywhere else, but haven't really looked for it either.
Tinfoil Alert
I find it interesting if i transcribe the pulses in the UP audio to binary I get what looks like random numbers, then swap them to alpha numeric and random letters, so put them in a cryptogram solver and one of the top results was barnard.
the tinfoil in me wants to say i have something here, none of the pulses go over binary 26 and when converted from numeric to alpha it gives a code that can clearly translate to BARNARD.
in 6 min 20 sec i get 7 sets of pulses between the loud singing of the UP. Translated as high pitch=1 low pitch=0. I listened at 3x speed to make it easier to tell high from low pitch. I used the audio of the 10 min of UP on merope 5c video.

set 1
10110=22 = v
set 2
10011=19 = s
set 3
0110=6 = f
set 4
1001=9 = i
set 5
10011=19 = s
set 6
0110=6 = f
set 7
1010=10 = j
there are 2 repeated strings in there 19 - 6, 19 - 6 so this is smelling fishy , So i take the numbers and turn them into letters since by coincidence they are all under 26 (letters in english alphabet) and binary counts to 256.
hat gives me VSFISFJ which looks like a simple cryptogram letter replacement puzzle.
add some reverse engineering to figure out the code.
v=B s=A f=R i=N s=A f=R j=D
this is coming together way too easy to be a screwup I need someone else to look at this.

Ok thanks I didn't realize Jaques station had that too. I haven't really looked for it either but I did note there is no filter for that economy type so not sure maybe is just a bug or something.

Funny you should mention that as I thought something similar from this pic in the newsletter -
https://m.imgur.com/a/eZ33m?utm_cam...Developments Ltd&dm_i=3F35,A0QS,368L7Y,Y8S1,1
Coincidence? Maybe. As good a guess as any I suppose, and it isn't overly complicated so I am not going to disregard it

Wait, if that's a star in the center of the rings, then what is casting the shadow on the rings? O:
