The left side is a pictograph of the UP sending its signal, the middle is where in relation to M5C it does its data send, and the right side is when in M5C's orbit that this happens.

PÜal, I love U.
Missed some on the right panel at the first glimps



Mach10, U quite may be on something, I would interprete this glyph "at the time when three bodies are aligned" Merope A, 5 & 5C?
As this doesn´t happen to often, I even would consider to do the ceremony in the large crater (or the small inside the big one), as other Cdrs. suggested already.
Maybe our problkem solving it is: we got all the bit´s but instead of melting them to a conclusion, we draw conclusions out of each single one....

Been admiring the artbook, and has anyone else thought that the UA from end on reminds them of the end view of a key (a 3 pronged one admittedly) ?

I suggest you to use Sonic Visualizer and not Audacity to view spectrographs

Hey there everyone. I just found this discussion. I found a up on a planet while looking for barnacles. My screen grab for Xbox was disabled but I took a picture with my phone just in case I wanted to go back. Anyway I can go back tonight(I'm working) and get all the details and pictures.

A measured constellation diagram can help identify the specific type of interference and distortion in a signal. Also trying to do research on quadrature modulation, binary ps and quadrature psk. The constellation diagrams looks a lot like our signal from the UP. And if the symbols in each quad are binary it could possibly line up with a 3 bit constellation diagram. Someone with more book smarts should be able to follow it a little easier.

I've only used the purrs as they come in high and low varieties. Terminology is always a trick but what is the "chirp"? I've just been working off the purrs in Mykl's and vent's recordings. And yes, I was involved as Mykl recorded at my request . I was hoping (see some pages back) that there might be some correlation with a location in the system and the audio but I didn't find any.

EDIT: Either i missed the box or it came later, either way, thank you for that! My data format is *currently* rather in shambles or I'd toss my notes up here as well. @Shae you should listen to Vent's audio here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...nonn/page281?p=4298079&viewfull=1#post4298079 and tell us more

Yeah, so the difference that I've been using between "purrs" and "chirps" has been mostly from the front page.

Purrs: Regular and low frequency. Consist of 15 "pulses" at a given frequency, one is notably shorter than the other.
Code: 
"Low Purr"     55hz     A1    ~3.4sec full duration
"High Purr"    ~88hz    F2    ~1.8sec full duration

Purrs:

Purrs sound like this:

Chirps: Irregular, and higher-frequency. Chirps happen in the 800-1200hz range, and frequently consist of "triplets" of 3 chirps in a pattern of "high" and "low" chirps. Sometimes sounds in that frequency band happen not in triplets, but I've ignored those as they appear to be ambient noise.

Chirps:

Ok, I gave Vent Aileron's Audio a listen, and found some interesting stuff. First off, you and Mykl's audio was cleaner, so the counts for Vent's audio might be off by +/- 1 or 2.

Here's the data:
Code: 
                                            Purrs       chirp triplets       Purrs/min       Chirp Triplets/min
Merope 5                                      18       7                     6.0              2.3
Merope 5 cleanest                             18       10                    6.0              3.3
Near Merope                                   18       14                    6.0              4.7
Near Merope Cleanest                          17       13                    5.7              4.3
Merope 5c                                     17       9                     5.7              3.0
Merope 5c Cleanest                            18       4                     6.0              1.3
Praea Theia RT-Z D13-7                        33       6                     11.0             2.0
Merope Deep Space (Vent Aileron)              32       7                     10.7             2.3
NCG 2546 Sector CR-U D3-29 A 1 High Orbit     31       7                     10.3             2.3
NCG 2546 Sector CR-U D3-29 Triple Take        34       8                     11.3             2.7
Unknown Probe (1hr Recording from NetSlayer)  17       11                    5.7              3.7

Observations:
  • Immediately noticeable is that the purr rate for the audio from Vent Aileron is almost double that of the other recordings. I initially thought those audio files got sped up, because the "Purr" duration and pitch also seems altered in those recordings, but the chirps pitch and duration is the same as in Mykl's recordings. I re-downloaded the files to double check, as well. This is wierd.
  • The 1hr recording from netslayer, interestingly, is at the "normal" purr rate. I, unfortunately, don't have a location for this recording. It is an hour long recording, and interstingly, does not have "scoop/eject" noises in it, so I suspect it's a "fresh, untainted" UP. Not sure what that means.
  • In the recordings from Mykl, the rate of purrs is constant (within a reasonable margin of error). In the recordings from Vent the rate of purrs is constant, but different.
  • In the recordings from Mykl, the rate of chirp triplets varies (good evidence it varies) possibly with a weak correlation to location (unsure, lack of data). In the recordings from Vent, the rate of chirp triplets is constant (within a reasonable margin of error).

Conclusion:
  • Purr rate is not linked to the system you are in. It does vary, but cause is unknown.
  • Chirp rate is likely not linked to location. We did see variations in chirp rate, but only within the Merope system.



And now for another note: Remember, everyone, when you're trying to solve a problem like this, to think like a game designer. The designers of this puzzle are humans, and have designed it to be solved by us players.

Michael Brooke said that some barnacles have been 'hand placed' other than for aesthetics, is it possible the Barnacle locations, i.e their co-ordinates could be somehow linked to the up image or the like?

heh - no magic portal... that was a bit of a stretch I will admit :)

But I still think the three lines make excellent navigation markers - but they don't match Merope 5C. Merope 5c's orbital inclination is -75.80, but I make the map to be -81.59. It was very instructive to try out the navigation to identify a point on Merope 5C. Even though it is not the same angle, the practice of lining up the ship with the orbital planes and rings was good practice.

Assuming the rings have no tilt. Depending on the origin of the rings, they may have a tilt, e.g. from a broken up moon with its own orbital inclination. Does your tracing paper line up or is it ~6 degrees out?

[Edit] checked, they have no tilt.
