Well, Hey MB! Suh dood ? Can you tell us if the next step is there ?
Yeah the shell (bubble works too but I get why it's confusing, lol)
Glad it's not just me then. It has made it a real pain in the butt to contact Palin for his CRCR
Couple hours searching and not a single fragment to show for it yet.
Erm, you don't need to collect fragments to be able to buy the CrCr...the 5kylie travel requirement enables you to talk to him, then you can buy the racks immediately from outfitting...
Merope 5C is a rotating body. That means that it's rotational axis (trough bot poles) always point the same way i space (sans wobble that is not implemented in Elite).
This axis is tilted 15.78° on the orbital plane. This means that e. g. the north pole will face towards M5 during half the orbit and away from M5 the other half.
If this tilt is perfectly in the plane that is perpendicular on the orbital plane and goes trough both M5 and M5C you will have this shift only on your X axis. However if the tilt is a bit to the side as well, you will also get a shift on the Y axis.
This seem to be the case for M5C.
The Y axis shift will hardly be noticeable, if measurements are done on the equator.
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!
But usually what noobs do / did, (myself included), is spout off their "revolutionary" theory without reading the front page, because obviously no one could ever have had that thought before.
hmmmmm hmmmmm that would mean that every 3.3 Days we have a perfect 15.78° to the pole aligned to the Lagrange axis.
i really would like to see how look like Merope 5's rings when such thing is happening.
If someone have a picture, post it ;p

"joshthomas134" on the Steam forums just asked if the UP has already been tested near a Water World or near an Ammoinia world, since it's known that Thagoids come from Ammonia worlds.

I looked in the spreadsheet and it seems both hasn't been tested?

Hi again
some meanings of the PROBE:
1- a device that is put inside something to test or record information
2- an exploratory action or expedition, especially one designed to investigate and obtain
information on a remote or unknown region
UPs flight plan/instructions:
1. (--|) units = UA shell radius = 135-150 Ly
2. (-|-) calculate 1/4 of circumference = 212-236 Ly
3. (-||) distance - 212-236 x 2 = 424-472 Ly
4. (|--) fly in to the main direction 212-236 x 2 = 424-472 Ly, take position in to the shell 30°wide for PROBING
Main direction? Possible SOL, bubble - creators of UAs, UPs are intrested in us

Hey! So glad you posted this. I posted a similar theory a couple of days ago, with slightly different conclusions but I think the BASIS of both of our theories is correct, which is that the radius of the UA shell is the "1" and we are to calculate other distances based upon that.
To to help us orient I think we need to answer:
1) what object or system is 3x the radius away?
2) what two objects or systems are 4x outside the radius?
3) is the "2" referring to another sphere or is it referencing the circumference of the UA shell as you suggested?
i really think if we play around with the radius theory we will solve it.

Thank you!
Don't wait for us. You could grow a beard by the time we............. ohh sorry.
I'll get my coat.
Hello MB! Have we gotten closer or further since the last time we had an estimation.
Haha. And here I was about to say we dont even know what each step consists of. Thanks for confirming.
Hi,
Seems like Merope 5C spinning like the spinning top. Maybe very fast Precession https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession
Maybe I am wrong and if so, i confess it! That Precession came up my mind for one of the solutions why north is not north.

LOL Epic response MB love it better than "Soon"(tm) ;-)

lol FD will leave us scratching our collective behinds until they are ready to move things along and give us another hint/clue/magically appearing mysterious object. I'd wait until then, cos at the moment we're going around in circles like a test rat in a lab maze with no block of cheese to show the way out.
if there is a Precession, then i guess that there's nothing that we can get from Merope 5 C itself

Dear MB
is the image instructions to Free Floating UP?
i have been hunting for them inside and outside of the UA bubble but nothing.
Didn't Ed say during last week's Canonn/UP livestream that lots of stuff is coming out at Gamescon & it's all in game now? I thought the inference was that it is UP/5C-related
