UAs, Barnacles and other mysteries Thread 8 - The Canonn

Following Michael Brookes' comments, I've decided to leave searching the area between Merope and the UA shell, and went to search Hyades Sector AB-W b2-2. Why? Because that's the only inhabited system (AFAIK) inside the UA shell. My initial suspicions were right: since the system's inhabited, a wide range of SS-es spawn, but UA-bearing Anomalies do also appear. Within half an hour, I found two, out of 15 signal sources in total.
If nothing else, this also makes the system a pretty good place to farm UA-s for Palin, as you can get a bunch of other materials too. Just be prepared for Federal and pirate interdictions.

Also, if whoever built the Unknown Artefacts hadn't known where the humans live, they do know it now.
 
I passed an USS, one jump before NYEAJAAE OY-Z D18 heading back to the bubble. Before I could abort I had traveled ~39-40 LY.

The image of the unknown probe sound has 4 inner symbols; You are here (line), Away from here (curve), Galactic center (two curves), and Away from galactic center (two lines). There are also 4 outer symbols; the bottom pair is two steps along the x axis, and the upper left corner is one step up the y axis, which is the angle to travel to Jaques Station. The upper right symbol means a third of the way.

Is Jaques Station's location an accident? Could it have been guided there somehow? By something "other" than human?
 
CONGRATULATIONS CMDR!
You happen to be the 1.000.000 CMDR to say that.
You can PM me to obtain your earned prize: a limited edition bobblehead of an UA always pointing AWAY from Merope!

Cheers.

Well what an enjoyable welcome for someone just starting to look into this........so glad you all know everything about everything and can slap down any attempts at trying to solve this for a newbie at it. always a pleasure

I'm sorry you did not get the irony ;)
But if you read back your posts carefully, they are very similar to thousands of posts of people teasing us they got the solution without telling. So many. Usually what noobs should do before posting is to read the front page to check what's there.
So please forgive me for the reply, I've read 80.000 posts so far, where 20% were similar to your, but honestly it was fun to write it. :)
Take it easy and go on with your science! ;)

Ah! And welcome to the madness! :D

hi guys long time no see !
i think i discovered something about the symbol hidden in the sound !
the Probe point to merope 5c right ? and the symbol looks like a planet right ?
ok now get a load at this : i think the answer was obvious from the moment we found the message ! it might be Merope 5C and those ... markings might be its characteristics or what is about to happen there !

Read the front page- it's already been proven 99.9% that it might be a decoder ring for the new Oolite miniseries coming out on BBC Radio 4, but I need someone to find 10 UPs and place them at Jaques, A* and Beagle to show everyone I was right.
 
Yesterday I visited Merope 5C

The Barnacles are restored and no Feds near and I thought I would see a Capital Class near the Ground :( I thought they would secure that barnacle site?

All 4 barnacles? I've never been there when they were all at the same state.
If they're in the same state since last thursday, 2 of them are ready, 2 of them are harvested.
 
With all our theories, testing and looking. MB must see us like:

We'll get it eventually!

I only ever visited the barnacle site who was first discovered on Merope 5C but this one is completely restored now. (-026.3496 -156.4044) I was there at night and it´s always a very scary experience ^^

has anyone else ever seen the giant imperial ship (maybe capital, certainly bigger than cutter) that has been "blown up from the inside out", with a load of rescue ships flying around it? I got that yesterday in a system surrounded by about 5 UA anomalies. Wondering if they're related?

Yeah, it's a pleasure to slap people who never read the front page. Its purpose is to inform you that, in the multiple thousands of posts before yours, someone has probably thought the same thing.
