UAs, Barnacles and other mysteries Thread 8 - The Canonn

[pocketmoon]

I'm working alongside Jinx and a couple of others to try and develop this train of thought.
We have a method which involves only 1 leap of faith at the end, so we really need 2-3 clean recordings of 6 minutes or so to double check the method.

Ah! Well speeding up the recording x10 of the 'UP on Merope 5C' you get the nice binary tuba notes. I think you've missed the initial 'low' right at the start and some masked by the load barps. I get the following sequence:

010110 100110 011001 001100 110011 011010 011001 010011 001101 1010

Is there any effort to map Merope 5C features or the giant crater?

This is something that can be done. If we do a surface mapping, it will require screenshots taken at a suborbital height and then stitched together. It would take quiet awhile, depending on how many people can do the mapping.

A few of us have spent a lot of time flying and driving around the crater so it's been pretty well scoured. I've overlayed the key over the crater and can't find anything conlusive yet although I'm sure it's of some importance in the whole puzzle.

i can't stop to go further...

next stop : bow nebula !!

maybe i'll find something there ?

Testing Jaques missjump

The tests are inspired by information that both Jaques Station and Jasmina's ship had UA's onboard. Also Michael Brookes said: "Jaques being stuffed with UAs didn't help his jump attempt ".
Right now I'm cruising with 7 of them onboard and I hope one day they'll sing to me so THEY can find me. However right now I visited Gliese 1269 to do some tests. Here are the things I did:

- I let 7 UA's to float a little bit. Honked them with my ADS.
- Tried to overcharge my FSD by letting it charge without increasing my speed - then pushing full throttle to perform jump to the farthest system I could reach in the direction of Beagle Point
- Tried to recharge my FSD with 7 UA's floating around but without jumping - because I would lose my UA's
- Roaming around to find some new USS - nothing unusual
- Picked Beagle Point as a destination of a single jump to see If anything unusual happens. Tried to do the jump - no results.

Is there anything you guys think I should test when I'm here?

 

[CMDR Poet Starwind]

Speculation: the order is 4,3,2,1

4: line up the nav markers from planetary map, the two dashes on the circle mark long and lat, the arrows pointing left point to the equitorial nav marker and where to land.

3: approach merope 5c and scan if needed

2: enter orbit

1: land at coordinates provided

Will test and report back

Nothing. Found a wrecked ship with escape pods and phase alloys, but nothing else. at Lat 10.61, long -136.34

Anybody near Khun that has 1-6 magnetic emitters will give the equive in commodities here in exchange. Want to get my Corvette to 20+ly range but the jump to the nearest system is a pain at its current range :-(

Afraid not but I am currently running missions in Procyon for Modular Terminals. If I come across some then I'll post them your way

If you haven't used a fsd injection I would try that.

Or, of course, have a damaged fsd with uas and then try to jump.

Out of curiousity what's your max jump range and what ship are you testing with?

Oh and if any of this works tell the aliens "hi" for me.

Looks quite good. Any reason you grouped them six and six?

I'm flying Anaconda with 30ly jump range. I didn't try to jump with fsd injection. However I only need to find one Cadmium to access standard injection. I'll try the damaged FSD theory also but first I have to wing up with somebody to let him do some science on my internals with pulse lasers

 

[Tylerjohnson]

We assume the message is coming from the aliens but maybe it is a message from the devs? I keep coming back to the idea that the two lines coming off the globe are legs (I'm assuming it is a planet with an atmosphere or even earth because of the symbol of earth in the image). Also, maybe the arch around the globe is a helmet. Are we about to walk on planets or maybe is it time to land on atmospheric planets?

It´s an alien Waltz. It´s notated in 3/4 measures.

If it's possible to trigger a missjump, I think it requires an exteremly long jump.

What can you do with grade 3 jumponium?

Ninjaed by Bug and answered.

Thank you unfortunatly my asp is in merope and this place hasnt much more capable stuff to get me any further than my corvette ive just been doing bountys and signals for the Chemical manipulators

I think 10x may be too fast for the up recording Id be worried the singing would cloud translation of the pulses, I did see the pulses almost hidden in the singing but they all came out to binary 0= low pitch which is no information. (ex 0110, 00000110 same number written two ways in binary). Im also pretty sure the pulses were in groups of 5 and 4 not 6.

 

[AlienBaby]

lol, so much this. The second someone said the word "interval" like it was some universal thing, I was thinking we don't have universal agreement of the intervals between notes, EVEN ON THE SAME        G PIANO (wolf tones etc) so how the hell are we thinking that it's something common and easy to understand.

It's like when people say "music is the universal language" then they hear some 2000 year old traditional song in some different mode and says it's out of tune.

      . I understand what you guys are saying 100%, and I think I might not be explaining what I mean properly, it's not my area of expertise at all. Let me talk to my very clever music theory friend to clarify what I mean, and I'll get back to you

I did just look somehing up I read ni a paper; here: (This takes you to the section headed 'But Other Cultures Have Different Musical Scales!') http://arxiv.org/html/1202.4212v1/#sec_4_2_0

That whole thing is interesting.

I think we're getting closer The UA's encoded 6 bit values in a similar way (tuba sounds) and they encoded a 3D wireframe image of the scanning ship.

As Zenith said, we need multiple recordings over much longer lengths.

current theory is the binary tuba encodes data which needs the sphere/key to decode. e.g 4 types of values will be encoded
A data group starting 010 Rottaional Period
A data group starting 011 Number of Orbits out from Star
A data group starting 100 Planet axial tilt
A data group starting 001 Planet Radius

or somesuch

[EDIT!] Talking nonsense - UA encoded the ship images as morse, of course. Not binary.

I am sorry to disappoint you. The intervals of our musical notes is man-made and differs between various cultures. See Well temperament and look up the various temperaments in the "See also" section.

The niceness of tones and chords is solely based on our culture. It is not unique to the laws of nature.

I feel I need to correct one point there.
Yes, musical theory differs between cultures. It's why european music can be distinguished from arabic or asian music, even if it's played on the same instrument.

However, niceness of tones and chords is entirely down to the laws of nature.
The sounds we find pleasing to the ear also happen to follow physical rules of waves.
The Fundamental Frequency in music is 440Hz, which equates to the note A.
Double that frequency to 880Hz and you get the First Overtone.
I wonder if there is something to be found in the harmonics.
