Yes because M5 is orbiting the barycenter, but as it is so close it barely moves, but it has to move somehow as it is still orbiting something else. As Kerrec said the orbital path is so small it's within the diameter of the star.



I think you'll find it's purely because M6 doesn't orbit M5. No matter how small the distinction may be, M5 is orbiting something other than the main star.

Right i see, i need these explanations because i don't understand half of whats being posted [blah] sorry for the snappy reply earlier i feel quite foolish now

I agree there is something on the surface. I haven't posted every screen shot I took because of the negative responses. Here are the last few I have. All I did was up the contrast. I was tired when doing this so if you see anything great.

Hi CMDR Zulu, I don't mind helping out with the pics as before, but did you manage to take any of the other planets within this system just to make sure these markings are unique to this planet.

 

[DustyArne]

this is very interesting.

maybe the instruction could be:

''this is your compass''
''keep the central point, is Merope 5c''
''we give you two points to lock (the two left bottom lines)''
''Follow the line at 5 o'clock''

If this is true I instantly change in a little boy and start to yell "Told you so! Nanananaaaaaana!!"


(3000 posts back I got laughed at with this idea)

But what are you seeing? You say there's messages hidden in the surface but no-one else can see them and you haven't said what it is that you're seeing. They just look like a planet that you've changed the colour of to me I'm afraid.

Don't worry about it, I didn't take offence and you should never feel foolish for questioning something. I'm no astrophysicist either, just have a passing interest, but building up orrerys in EGO certainly has helped

I haven't Sos4biz. These were all taken the same night before I moved. I did relocate further away from where I spotted them on 5c and they're weren't any at the different location. As soon as I started moving back to my original coordinates they began again. Note: this may be crazy but the top image appears to me at least to have a portion of the probes "face" I'll try to pull up a comparison photo. Again I'm on mobile and don't have my PC so I can't experiment further.

You can clearly see the hard lines of shading in there. The question is, is this a bug, a side effect of the shading method used, or a hidden alien construct that is cloaked?

To get answers, open a bug report and also check other planets/moons outside of Merope, as others have suggested, just to be sure.

I don't remember anything about a message only that there seems to be some strange none natural forming shapes appearing within the colours on the planets surface, I have tried to help CMDR Zulu in bringing out these shapes and they appear a few pages back within this thread.

If you able to send them to me I will have a go at them, pm me with your address and I will send you my details.

 

[CMDR Zulu]

For comparison. Again, I don't have my PC so I can't check other planets...as soon as I do I'll check but for now I'm at least putting. Information out there that may or might not help those who believe something is on the surface.

 

[Stillsober]

Does 5C wobble on its axis when sped up. This may confirm my theory that the bottom left of the sphere (two what appear to be axis points.) may show the wobble of the planet upon its axis. the earth has the same wobble. This may the confirm that it is 5C we need to use as a reference point. I don't think this is a planet side treasure hunt but I do think me rope 5c is our reference point for this puzzle. The problem I have is knowing what the rest of the symbols are telling us.

 

[Ozric]

Ah OK, I'm sure I read the word messages in one of your posts, but now I see what you're getting at

The only real control method to employ within this line of reasoning is a complete planetary survey at 8km. As a test, I've taken 16 4K images and created a composite on a planet in another system. Mind you, 16 4K images is only a very small portion of the surface so it will take MANY more for a complete survey. Never fear, the E.O.P.C is on it. I will be heading to Merope 5c to begin there. If there is anything untoward on 5c, we will see it at 8 kilometers, as I've seen spawned outposts at that range without a problem.

 

[Zambrick]

Here are couple of ideas for experiments that I had. The box shape represents a UA or UP. once the system alignment matches then honk at it to see if something happens.

Idea One:

Idea Two:

If anyone has tried this please let me know.

Thanks

You can clearly see the hard lines of shading in there. The question is, is this a bug, a side effect of the shading method used, or a hidden alien construct that is cloaked?

To get answers, open a bug report and also check other planets/moons outside of Merope, as others have suggested, just to be sure.

By enhancing the contrast it's likely that it's just enhancing the different shading calculated for different polygon regions which share similar normals in terms of deviation from the y axis (which is a line from the centre of the sphere).

And even if the surface is smooth-shaded, we're looking at a JPEG of an enhanced contrast image; any graduation between smooth shaded regions is likely to have been lost by the stretching of the colour lightness - and then the JPEG encoder has accidentally encoded the same colour to what were slightly different before.

So: need a bitmap to discount compression artefacts but, even if they still show, it's still likely to be a shading artefact - especially after the contrast has been boosted.

I'll bet you can achieve the same effects off any planet.

 

[CMDR Zulu]

I've seen the images from 4km and below not sure about 8km but if your using 4K it should be better. Apologies if I said messages, I'm no xenolinguist I just see shapes and weird things there. Is say check around the previous coords I gave. I don't have that paper with me currently.

 

[rizal72]

I think the video on page 1 is suspect.
.
1, Fires a ADS but has no scanner show up on his hud.
.
2,After his systems go down ,all he does is stare at the probe ,anyone would have looked at his panels to see if anything was working or if anything had broke........he does nothing.
.
But you all got your "Alien" blinkers on to notice anything else lol

AhahahahahaahahahahahahahahahHhahHahabahahahahahahahahah!
You are a GENIUS pal!
You got me!

 

[Darth Ender]

It'll be funny when this audio image turns out to just be another easteregg, a take on the bbc tv test screen or such.

someone needs to shoot at the probe (preferably with a laser). It's vagueness deserves violence.

you can honk with ADS without deploying hardpoints, so you can't see it in the hud

I agree that there's a possability it could be the underlying framework, but I have not seen these elsewhere, but it does not mean they are not present on other planets, and CMDR Zulu did say's they do not appear to visible at his new location some distance from 5c, anyhow, I think Menenhetet is going to take a look, so hopefully we can get some fresh pics to view.

 

[Soon(TM)]

Man, am I the only one that thinks this is dragging on a bit now, FD have been watching you guys trawl over this data for weeks now and have hardly said a word about it.

Are you looking in the right place?

Are your theories at all correct?

Is there actually anything worth discovering that points to something undiscovered in the game?

This is beginning to feel like a grind...

Well I guess it fits well with ED then really.

Carry on....
