Give him time, he's only just got one!

I know there's a station there
It's been there for around 3 months and was built because of a CGeither that or he joking with us or someone has been getting him drunk at Gamescom, may be a canonn undercover agent. All of this is well below my paid grade.
But may be someone should take a UA and or a UP to that outpost.
I'm sure they are separators, otherwise we would not get the 1000, 250, 200 and 125 divisors.

Ah a pincer movement, lovely stuff. Still at least we have a retreat and a new bubble to build.
It's the UP transmission!

Haha apologies I had to land. The outpost there has the same transmission you get when you park in between the free floating UP and Merope. I will get a video directly.
Edit haha no I think I'm hearing things now, time for me to sleep commanders o7

The sneaky Alliance have a listening post out there. I think they're the cause of all the trouble....

They have Halsey on the team now, so I bet they know something. ;-)
For all we know, it could be two separate alien civilizations having their own war, with us poor pitiful humans caught in the middle.

I have thought this before mostly due to the Alliances lack of movement on the UA/UP/BAR mystery.

OK now that could be very intriguing, do you mean when you park right next to the antenna array? Is it different to the audio you get in the other stations? I have a copy of the audio I recorded in Obsidial Orbital a while ago when Panzertard discovered the "letters" in the audio from station antennae, but they all seemed to be the same. I didn't check the listening post though and we had dismissed it as an easter egg...
No I'm just hearing things at 3:25 AM after being awake too long listening to sounds haha I will sleep and keep nosing around here tomorrow
Fly safe o7

Ah but maybe you're not. Even though it's an outpost we found that they also broadcast a signal if they have the long antenna with the flashing red lights on the end. You have to turn the volume right up in order to hear it, but you can distinguish it as a clear broadcasting sound. The ones in the stations have letter type shapes encoded into the audio, maybe Coopers is different.
I mean it is called Cooper... (think agent Cooper)

Sorry, Michael - that was me. Late one night I was a bit bored at my desk and decided to listen a bit too much to the aliens' gaseous emissions. I think I may have offended them.

I let you decide I just recorded when docked. Dont know how well the sound is on Xbox recordings but be my guest commander

No thanks.
Well that's not the sound the antennae make, not actually sure if Cooper will have one looking at the style of base. A few things spring to mind, mainly that it is indeed a listening post and maybe they forgot to turn off the speakers
I'm only a few k from civilisation now.
So, here's something I've been struggling with today. The UP transmission clearly prefaces each block of information (except the first) with a number, and these numbers handily enough go up from 1 to 4 as the transmission goes on, like so:
No preface, meaning unknown
1, surface temp ratio
2, gravity ratio
3, radius ratio
4, meaning unknown
But when we look at the spectrograph "key"
If I had to assign meaning to each of these quadrants, I would assign radius to the bottom right, temperature to the upper left, and gravity to the upper right. But the key numbers don't match the transmission prefaces for that information. Maybe I'm wrong about temperature and gravity, but radius seems pretty obvious.
Anyone have bright ideas about why this mismatch might be?

Its The Argents Quest all over again....
I've tried to find some gas giants with ammonia-based life near the Pleiades that I have scan data for but it's a nightmare trying to find systems I've scanned whilst docked 22KLY away. The Internet is crawling for me right now so I'm giving up for today but I've found three planets in two systems that look like they might be the right colour scheme for these worlds, although sadly I did not do a detailed surface scan to be sure:
- HIP 16440 planets 4 & 5
- Pleiades Sector IH-V c2-5 planet 2
