It is a verbatim, direct, as close to the millisecond as I could get, transliteration of one of Vent's tests. See my previous post. The original audio is in his sig.

It doesn't sound like Morse because I think it's Morse; I think it's Morse because the varied lengths of the spaces between the tones in the UP audio make it sound an awful lot like Morse. Also, it translates perfectly into Morse. Problem is the letters are gobbledegook. Some kinda code, just like the UA was, but more complex and more multi-dimensional.

I suspect it's a 3D diagram of some kind, based on how closely the circular diagram resembles a 3D polar coordinates representation (y'know, theta, phi, rho; USE). But how to map the Morse onto those?

So, I've gone back and listened to the originals, and I can't even begin to correlate what's in that midi to what's in the original recordings.

Sorry, I just geniunely can't hear what's claimed to be "clearly morse". If you're referring to the chirps, they've always been simple background noise, reasonably (and sadly) by people who on occasion shun the rules around here.

This is further reinforced by the fact that you explicitly say "Problem is the letters are gobbledygook". The morse of the nearest celestial objects were readily deciphered, and even the grid representation of the ships was readily deciphered.

Honestly, truly deep analysis of this stuff has never led to anything. This challenge is meant to be, and has always been, difficult, but accessible. Even the image in the probe signal is just a case of "record the sound, throw it at a website"... knowledge of QPSK constellations relies on very specialised skillsets, and so I highly doubt it's the correct path.

Go down it if you want, not gonna stop you, just verbalising I think it's the wrong path, because highly specialised/complex analysis has yet to yield any meaningful results in this mystery.
 
So, knowing that, and what Michael said:

The convoys are pretty rare, they're not the best way to find the Unknown Probes though.

Does it mean that maybe we have complicated this puzzle at our own request, like for example, we are doing something in a wrong order?

It has already been confirmed that things are not/can not be done out of order. They can be done in unexpected ways or by luck/fluke, but not out of order.
 
Throwing this in to the mixing pot... Let's put Merope at the centre of the diagram (ignoring the outer symbols)

Merope-H-S.jpg


If the two external lines point at the Heart & Soul nebulae, where does the internal line point to?

Also, let us say that the distance from Merope to H&Sn is 20units. That would mean that the edge of the circle is 13units away from Merope.

So... is there anything at that point on the map?

I'm nowhere near Merope (nor in game till tonight) at the moment to work out distances on the Elite galaxy map, but thought I'd drop the idea here to start off with...

There is a really good picture of nebula on the front page. Near the barnacle section. Feel free to use it. Because of the distance, heart and soul won't fit on the two prongs neatly. But grab up paint.net and play away with pictures. Maybe you'll see something others haven't.
 
Way more interesting is the other news...

"One option for investors looking for a risky but possibly lucrative venture is a start-up called MetaDrive Inc., a small company based in the Chi Orionis system specialising in hyperdrive research. The company is reported to be seeking investment."

Holy butts, this is actually a reasonably significant article for the lore of E:D. First ever confirmation that the Thargoids are definitely out there and acknowledged as part of the lore.

So it is thought that Thargoid technology AND part of their biology is some kind of polymer. The Veliaze system is important to Thargoid lore. Rumours that ECM systems are reverse-engineered from Thargoid technology.

And the fact that, according to what this lore presents, canon to E: D, they haven't been seen since the original witchspace interdictions.

Commanders, I feel more afraid for my life out there than I have done in a while.
 
I found this bit very interesting:

"Some of the less outlandish theories include the suggestion that electronic countermeasure technology was reverse-engineered from captured Thargoid vessels."


Honk UP, hold down counter measures, UP thinks you are from thargoid origin and opens the gate?

MAKE IT SO !!!

Using meta alloys to make new drives?
