Not necessarily. The image is just a key that can be used for any system. The two line symbol in quadrant |-- just represents barnacles in general. The |-- sequence appears twice in the probe broadcast.

Exactly! The image is a key to the audio 'chirps' of the UP. So the symbols around the side are binary, they just aren't a sequence of 'steps', they are literally like a 'key' on a graph.

Definitely the best idea yet.

So then the numbers around the edge represent the 'sound' pattern of the description in the image:

010 -> -|- Atmospheric Planets
011 -> -|| Ringed Worlds
100 -> |-- Barnacle Worlds
001 -> --| Binary Parings

Sooooo, the UP is scanning systems and gives us the number of Barnacle worlds in that system. Which means, we can use it as a way to harvest Barnacles!

That is basically what I'm being repeating in the last days from my phone, about the Purrs and the glyphs correspondence ;)
I was just missing the meaning of the four quadrants that Dreadp1r4te gave so well.

Frontiers hint would have been much more valuable if they were like "this new series of testing is LEGENDary," and they made the word legend green haha.
 
That's a good catch; I'm not sure how I missed that. It still fits, however; M5 is technically a Y-class star. That actually cleared up some of my hesitation, thank you. I'm at work and my headphones suck, let me see if I can hear the purrs you mentioned at the beginning.

You are bound to get some details wrong, with only one recording.

I think Myhre made a 6min recoding as well.
 
Not necessarily. The image is just a key that can be used for any system to show the different kinds of bodies. Top left for atmospheric bodies, top right for ringed bodies, bottom right for binary pairs, and bottom left for barnacle worlds. The numbering may not have any relevance other than identification purposes. The two line symbol in quadrant |-- just represents barnacles in general. The |-- sequence appears twice in the probe broadcast.

Ok so it's the binary that provides the info the image is the key. Sounds like the best theory going. I'm on board.

Hah, well there have been several different terms for the same concept over the last couple of weeks, so I don't know how they could have covered them all.

Key.. Legend.. Primer.. Rosetta Stone.. Try fitting all those into a sentence. Other than the last sentence, obviously.
 
1 instance of 110. There is 1 main star in Merope.
7 instances of 010. 7 atmospheric worlds in Merope (top left quadrant of UP spectro)
6 instances of 011. The icon indicates ringed worlds; there are 6 in Merope.
3 instances of 001 The line drawn in bottom right indicates binary pairings, a line connecting them. There's 3 in Merope.
1 instance of 101. There is 1 asteroid belt in Merope.
2 instances of 100. There are 2 barnacle worlds in Merope, indicated by the bottom left "spikes" on the sphere.

In our excitement, nobody picked up a map of Merope 😔

  • Merope has two stars, not one.
  • Merope has three atmospheric worlds, not seven.

Yes, the binary seems to be purely for identification purposes to link the chirps with the type of body it represents. Its so logical and sensical that i would be surprised/disappointed if that wasnt the answer. Many other members including myself had a feeling we were going to crack this in the next day, its like one of thos collectice conscious things happening with the community. I take no credit for the discovery, just offering support in what i can do with the new information.

Gas giants are atmospheric worlds and Merope technically has 2 stars.

"CMDR Demon Eyes Cains key broke off in his unprimered car door while he was using the rosetta stone to read greek legends in their native language"

Haha, just kidding. Youre right, its just fun and relieving to play with this new and likely possibility.
 
Can this be tested with old UP footage? surely if that's the whole sequence than a subset of those chirps should be found on each recording in merope, and there must be some recordings away from there already?
 
Guys, those with a complex mind... please check over my findings here:- https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...nonn/page346?p=4308819&viewfull=1#post4308819


I may be on to something.... but need someone to go over it/understand it and see if they can see if it could work or on the right track

My findings maybe flawed or not? but I do feel that the planetary view in game is a complex coordinate system for Planets or moons, and as you will see in the images I have lined up the Alien Transmission image with the planetary view of Merope 5C fairly accurately, and I dont think it is a coincidence
 
There are three gas giants in Merope, so that would still only make six "atmospheric worlds".


If you dont also count M5 as a gas giant. Y stars are basically gas giants with minor stellar properties. Plus, we may still have to work out some of these bugs, but this is the biggest and most easily testable lead we have.

A Y dwarf is a weird not quite gas giant not quite star. As an astronomer I'd not classify it as a star as it doesn't have a self-sustaining fusion reaction. Maybe the UP agrees with me?

However, I agree with you that it's good to keep a close eye on the details of this theory. We need some more systems that provide and unambiguous test of this.

I just logged into the game to check. There is only 1 star I can see (this is the in-game system map), and there a 7 non-landable planets.

One main star, Merope, one Y "star," Merope 5.

But yes, 7 non landable planets or non stellar bodies is a good way to put that.

Ok, I think we are talking about the Y Dwarf? Technically there is no place on the UP image that indicates a 'chirp' is a star. The test is:

- atmosphere (non-landable planets)
- Ring Worlds
- Barnacle Worlds
- Binary Pairs

Of course one of these (or all, or the entire idea) might be wrong.
