Yup, done it all. I have been given the knowledge of him AND I am allied with Sirius Corp. I got the Sirius permit and am now there. The next stage says I will be given an invite to him but only from their home system, Sirius. This is the part that is not working.

A few people have said it takes a bit of time others immediately. Try Davys dock? I think it is - can't recall the correct system though - may be wrong on the station too.

Believe that's Avik (again from memory)...do I need to get out more? I probably should get out more.
 
Oh er, now that's some good thinking.
and something that can be tested.

Seems from subsequent posts that the details may need ironing out a little, but it's got some substance. Just wish F d had made it a bit cleaner- will slow exploration no end if we've got to drop a UP we're carrying in our CRCR, honk it, record the audio & count the numbers of different tribits before we can decide whether a system has barneys or not.

it would be nice if one of the tribits indicated "cloaked object" & the EMP disabled the cloaking.
 
It's probably just the mission system taking it's time for whatever reason. Am sure it will eventually show up for you. Guessing you've logged out the game and back in?

Yeah I think it's just good ol' fashioned patience to be honest.

I'll stop the discussion for now as this is the wrong topic for it. Will make just one more once I get it to click :)

Thanks for the help, guys!
 
Just a question with Sirius: Does anyone have an in-game image of the system? System information as well as an out the window picture? I don't have a permit and I'm still a day away nearly.
 
No, the Crab is only a good example not because it's a nebula, but because it has a pulsar at its center. A nebula without such an astrophysical phenomena at its core would not produce the results you claim. In addition, since we're talking specifically about the Crab Nebula now and not nebulae in general, I will point out to you that the 'antimatter' you're referring to is a positron, but not just that--it's half of an electron/positron pair generated by the mechanics of the pulsar itself, which very quickly annihilates into gamma radiation rather than separating into distinct electrons and positrons.

Since it's indicative of pulsar action in general and in no way specific to the Crab, assuming in the first place that your premise that the Probe's creators can harvest and utilize positrons from the origin of a Pulsar's jet before it becomes gamma rays...don't you think there would be plenty of other places to 'gas up'?

I don't think you need the pulsar. At least not in Elite.:D

I think any small planet without atmosphere and without a significant magnetic field that orbits in the Van Allen belt of a body with a strong magnetic field could be suitable to harvest antimatter in the form of positrons.

Nebulae are 'full' of ionized hydrogen. That's basically free single protons. These can be used to produce antiprotons. Mix the anti protons with positrons and you have antihydrogen.

That's how they do it in CERN.

The problem is storage. I guess that's where the Meta-Alloy comes in handy. :)
 
I think this solution is elegant. Its not easy of course but its there

1) The message is under the circle
2) The first job is to produce a square line square symbol. AKA the voyager circle in a square.
3) On the far left the panel with a < and block under it has a dot adjacent to the block indicating the message is below the line drawing.

3) ON looking on the bottom left - there is a symbol that could conceivably be that square line circle.
4) The bottom quadrant of the sphere has two markings touching the circumference at 210 and 240 degrees. These markings tell you to look at the image from the bottom left, thats how you undistort.

Now working with the best quality audio i could find, the bottom panel doesn't resemble a square line square BUT if you look at it from the bottom left of the image and tilt the screen away it becomes a square....
The borders surrounding the panels are no longer fenestrated, they become solid.

On doing this it becomes apparent there is a second symbol below the first this is a square with a 2 in it and then a square, perfectly vertically aligned.
Take this image and look at it from the bottom left of screeen as if you are at the far left seats of a cinema, and you get a square a line and a square in top far left

The image changes as you look at it from the perspective of the bottom left, just as the sphere asks you to do.

Now in the second panel when viewed from that perspective text begins to line up too. Yes there is noise and other things that could be letters, but as you look from that perspective certain things become clearer.
Now i think i can make out certain letters aligned as i've put in posts, but first see if you agree that there are letters here beginning to be readable.

Now don't decide just yet what these letters may spell - is this suspicously like letters? more so than before? than we are on the right track.

I'm sorry if i'm frustrating people with my persistence, but i'm quite keen to get everyones thoughts.

I had to go to the other station in Sirius to get the Qwent invite once everything else was in place.

My thoughts are: Pareidolia, Pareidolia, Pareidolia, ever since you started with this. Rather like Gypsy12's hidden voices.

however I could be wrong, and it would certainly fit FD's sense of humour to insert something relating to Gamescon.
 
A voice into the void: I really wish this thread was much less;

Random chat, sarcasm, attempts at being funny, personal arguments, mean crticism, irrelevant photos and videos...

and more;

Visualised theories, test suggestions, theory elimination, organizing UP hunts...

Problem is people just have TOO MUCH time on their hands, so they end up filling these pages with absolutely useless stuff, seemingly +40% of the time, in the meantime causing enthusiasts who are searching for brainers here to waste their own PRECIOUS TIME going through their junk. I am sorry if this comes out as overly agressive but think about it. It will only HELP the community here if we are all a bit more considerate of others.

I'm sorry, apologies if sometimes we feel like a community and we share our time and concerns.
 
Hello folks; I think I may have solved (a big part of) this UP image mystery: It's a system scanning probe.

While listening to Vent Aileron's recordings of the UP, I noted the high-low chirps, and the patterns therein. From the UP I noted the following purrs, and compared them to knowledge of Merope (where the recording was taken) to draw the following theories.

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.

It is my belief the probe scans systems. Of course, it was all in the name all along.

Unless the image and sounds change within different systems, I would not call it a scanning probe but rather a signpost and that's to merope 5c.
