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.


worse than the thargoids you are.
 
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.


I just had the same effect in Eol Prou. All visible parts of the ship structure and HUD turned green. Looked like a glitch. I made a screenshot if anyone needs proof (too lazy to convert it to png and upload it right now).

(Still leaning on my wotw theories.)

yup. mine went bright magenta/purple though. Pay no attention to the colour, it isn't a Thargoid conspiracy, it's a glitch.
 
Going by the decoding attempts made so far for the "new" UP signal (the one heard when going infront of the UP's head):

The "honk" signal returned from the UP (the one with the hidden image in the spectrogram) is the reference/legend of what properties of the planet the numbers found correspond to.

Here is a full, detailed description of what has been done with the UP transmissions, as requested. First, this is a full transcription of the UP transmission recorded at Pleiades Sector KC-U B3-1 8 (hereinafter called the target planet, TP). High tones are represented by (-), low tones by (.) .

START

(wail) --. ... -.- -.. (dolphin chirp) --. ... .-. --- (long pause)


(wail) --. (pause) -.- -.. --. (dolphin chirp) -.. ... -.- (long pause)


(wail) -.- (pause) --. ..- .-. .-. (dolphin chirp) -.. --. --- (long pause)


(wail) -.. (pause) -.- -.- --- --. (dolphin chirp) -.. --. --- (long pause)

(pause) --. .-- -.- -.- --. (dolphin chirp) --. ... .-. (pause) -.- --. --- (pause) -.. .-- -.. (dolphin chirp) --. ... .-. ---


END

The tones clearly occur in triplets, and seem to be binary (high or low). Since three bits is enough to express any one digit in the octal system, we replace each of these triplets with one octal digit.

START

(wail) 1723 (dolphin chirp) 1750 (long pause)

(wail) 1 (pause) 231 (dolphin chirp) 372 (long pause)

(wail) 2 (pause) 1655 (dolphin chirp) 310 (long pause)

(wail) 3 (pause) 2201 (dolphin chirp) 310 (long pause)

(wail) 4 (pause) 207 (pause) 2175123 (dolphin chirp) 1750 (pause) 122 (pause) 1422 (dolphin chirp) 1175 (pause) 210 (pause) 343 (dolphin chirp) 1750

END

Now, because I have a hard time thinking in octal, I convert these octal numbers to decimal numbers.

START

(wail) 979 (dolphin chirp) 1000


(wail) 1 (pause) 153 (dolphin chirp) 250


(wail) 2 (pause) 941 (dolphin chirp) 200


(wail) 3 (pause) 1153 (dolphin chirp) 200


(wail) 4 (pause) 135 (pause) 588371 (dolphin chirp) 1000 (pause) 82 (pause) 6289 (dolphin chirp) 125 (pause) 136 (pause) 227 (dolphin chirp) 1000

END

Now, someone earlier (forget who) pointed out that treating the dolphin chirp as a division operator leads to some interesting results, so I do those operations.

START

(wail) .979 [the meaning of this is still unknown]
(wail) 1, .612 [TP surface temp (182K) / Merope 5C surface temp (297K) = .6127]
(wail) 2, 4.705 [TP gravity (.86G) / Merope 5C gravity (.184G) = 4.66]
(wail) 3, 5.765 [TP radius (8518km) / Merope 5C radius (1478km) = 5.763]
(wail) 4, 135, 588.371, 82, 50.312, 136, .227 [meaning still unknown]

END

So that's where we are and how we got there. Maybe this can be added to the FP, because I'm sure others will wonder.
 
Barnacles are live spaceships, and finally their crew received orders to rise from inside.
And we will learn why Thargoids were running from them!

This was my personal theory but I'm still not convinced the Interview 4 teaser confirms this just because they have glowing green bits.
 
When the UP's sound image was first found someone posted a gif with all the current images in it. In that gif part of the soundscape moved on one of the images compared to the rest. From memory (so I could be imagining things) it looked similar to the new UP sound transmission. Could that be what MB meant when he said we've not decoded all the original transmission?

What I was saying earlier, in pic format.

It's instructions of what the transmission is about.

Commanders,

Some of you are thinking the hunt begins on the 28th and thinking it means we hunt Thargoids then - you clearly underestimate Thargoids. Do some research into these things, we dont hunt 'goids, they hunt us.

We do not need the feds or alliance, we need PRE logistics support gamma, The station itself. Put aside your political differences, and work together, it is within our grasp commanders!

Does anyone here honestly trust any of the major powers to handle the potential threats in the correct way? They wouldn't even tell us about it for praks sake.

Believe what you like, that's what the game is all about. But that video came through early - whatever the reason is irrelevant. We have the information now, we need to use it before it is too late to matter.

Please do not UA bomb the station, you will not be hurting anyone but ourselves. We have a choice here to take control of the situation, to be responsible for your galaxy, we can not leave it up to the powers that be. We need to show the major powers that their closed lipped policies will not work any more, they will not satisfy our natural curiosity. If they think we will sit idly by in ignorance, they are wrong.

I hope I am not alone in this. If I am, then I will attempt it on my own to the best of my ability. Personally, I can no longer allow the wool to be pulled over my eyes.

See you in witchspace o7

Poor speculation follows, taking those last two sets of three numbers:

I'll say it again, I don't think the | - - - - | at the bottom are numbers at all. The spacing is too different to the 'numbers' at the top. I say it's an indication that a planet - i.e. Merope 5 c - is the unit of measurement being used.

ok ok ok we heard you, and we've heard other people say this.

b y t h e wa y, I am a c t u a l l y sp ea ki ng fre nch r i g h t n o w. I t 's not the sam e l ang uag e be ce a u se the font and thespac ingisd iffer ent. ALL languages only COME IN ONE FONT AND ONE EXACT SIZE AND IF YOU CHANGE THEM SLIGHTLY IT HAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT meaning.

I am being completely literal and not sarcastic right now, you can tell because of the spacing.

Any tidally locked planets in those systems?
