yeah, we worked that out about 4 hours ago. Doesn't start till the 28th anyway (whatever it is), and we have one more puzzle to solve first :)

maybe those last sets of numbers are triangulaton. like Merope 5c > the Ammonia world > world X. Wouldn't know how to work out angles and distances though
 
Sitting on a probe at Pleiades sector kc-u b3-1 like so many, however I don't have any crcr's ;( screenshot time I feel. I find the sounds it makes quite soothing.

Alright! i found a free floating UP I like to donate it to Cannonnnn(n?) please :)

This think is eating my ship like theres no tomorrow!
 
Ok, I (might have) craked part of it :

if one looks at the pairs as fraction :

1) 979 / 1000 => 0.979
2) 231 / 250 => 0.924
3) 941 / 200 => 4.705
4) 1153 / 200 => 5.765

It turns out that if one takes merope 5c as a reference scale, and look at the fourth number :
5.765 * 1478 [km] = 8520 [km]

Turns out that 1478 km is Merope 5c radius and 8520 km is Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 8 radius.

I will look at the other parameters for other matches.

Please explain in detail, step-by-step.
Pairs of what for example, the thread moves to fast to know which context tou're referring to.
 
What's the difference between the UP spectograph image that's been ripped from game files and the binary in the video that's clearly been released by FDev at the wrong time?

Using the first one is considered bad form, not very sporting... but everyone's ok to use the second. Isn't that a double standard?
 
Just for the sake of argument here... what if it is NOT the Thargoids?
/
So... This is not the Thargoids then, right?..
ASCII is not a Thargoid language... it is a human one...as is the thought of "bounty Hunter's" in English and "Calendar dates" which are such a thoroughly Human Bias Construct based on our Earth/Moon/Solar system timings... that it would be highly unlikely to be understood so well by any credible Alien Species researching us that they could send a message about Calling a Hunt together.
.
So... not buying the Thargoid thing.
Might buy a Human faction thinking they have the rest beat with their "new" tech and producing an unexpected "Force Majeuer".
Something like Say... a new Capital Ship?
.
Meanwhile, going on a hunt for said Thargoids on the 28th of (whenever) might be.... Should be fun! :)

Awesome! Head to Col 285 sector ix-t d3-43 and the Canonn Institute will pay you well (if you are in a medium ship)!

I'm not okay to use it. A lot of people haven't been.

However, the argument reads: one involves breaking a EULA and one takes advantage of a mistake which led to an early leak of something they were going to give us anyway.

Just playing devil's advocate - as I say, I'd rather we'd left it till the vodeo was officially released.

I'm going there! In my ASP See you soon
 
Does anyone know the time period it would take for the UP to eat your ship without special racks? I'd like to shift this one without them, but don't want to pay the ultimate price. :/ apologies if this has been documented before.
 
I didn't want to bring this up, but I don't think it is a coincidence, not after the "turn you green" thing. I have spent the last 7-8 days playing religiously. I was coming back from DWE. I was maybe 10kylies away from Sol, right hand side of the core by about 6kylies maybe? I will need to look and check my bookmarks. But I was speaking to my girlfriend who was sitting behind me and all of a sudden MY WHOLE SHIP GOES GREEN. BRIGHT FLUORESCENT GREEN. As green as that green and brown planet that keeps doing the rounds. Everything goes green in my cockpit and my HUD. I could still make things out, and I could still see out the window. It wasn't the usual green/purpley split second GPU glitch I get, it was like....5/6 seconds of pure green everything. I freaked out and my girlfriend saw it and was like    ?? I completely froze. i had no idea what to do. It spooked me. I didn't get any screenshot or footage :(. It's just strange because that code said "to turn you green" and i legitimately turned green for about 6 seconds. Picked my brants.

Don't want to burst the bubble, but there has been a bug in 2.0/2.1 where the screen goes various psychedelic colours at random, then goes away. Normally after exiting the system or galaxy map. It could be something sinister, but most likely is that glitch. Sorry.
 
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)

Which reminds me of an antenna dish collection in a lutyens XXX-XXX (cant remember the numbers & PC is off so cant check the pictures) system near Avik- Sirius Corp/Feds receiving this same signal?
Might be worth checking out

The screen goes whatever colour your hud is, I think.

Gosh, this bug always scares the xx out of me when leaving the system map. :eek:
