I have a partial recording from an other system. I'm not the best with shadow play and stuff, but I'll get there.

I should be able to check the radius and the long part at the very least. (but It'll take a while as I'm not good at transcription)
 
Just because you're a sarcastic tool doesn't make you right.
The binary interpretation has rightly been questioned on this issue because it makes no sense to use different spacings and character lengths.
It's just as obviously morse as it is binary.

ouch. well i guess it's all up in the air, anything could be true.

i apologize to all the people i've offended by calling them out for posting the same thing over and over and implying that we are ignoring their discovery by not agreeing with them right away
 
Involved? They're causing it!

Commander, with all due respect. I demand evidence for such a serious claim. Our group's intelligence service can not confirm any connection between the recent alien developments and the Alliance listening post, which has barely started its mission out there.

However, the PEO of our intelligence service insists that I add the following information: Kölsch beer is regarded as being a (tasty) lemonade rather than a beer. Recommendation: There are good Pils beer in Germany.

Hello all

Normally about now I'd be here saying 'time for a new thread'. BUT you're not alone in doing science. Our very own BrettC has scienced the back-end (don't giggle at the back) of the forum, raising the limit of posts to slightly more than the old 10,000. Now it's 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 posts.

Let me know when you get close to that, won't you.

FOR THE SCIENCE!

But... tradition?

Between the UA religious cults, Halsey and the ramblings of Jaques since his misjump I suspect some form of Thargoid mind control.

Not necessarily Thargoid, maybe from the Feds/Corporations. Halsey, smelling what was going to happen to her by Hudson/Fallside ( :( ), goes on a trip to "raise support from the frontier", while taking a detour to Azaleach to have a little chat with Mahon. Maybe in order to form an alliance between the Feds and the...Alliance? The shadow president and Core Dynamics strongly disagree so they sabotage SS1, perform the good old brainwashing so she appears craAAaaZyy and have a religious cult support her to further strengthen the craaAAaaziness of her speech.

The general public thinks "this poor lady has gone nuts. Architects of creation? Get outta here. BRYAN, STOP PLAYING CQC, LUNCH IS READY!".

But now she's recovered, is back in the game and Mahon continues his shenanigans. Alliance FTW. 8)
 
Test to do :
Recordings at least with an other ammonia world to check the whole thing, and also check for fixed part in the message.
Clever ideas for the last block decoding XD

I may have missed a post here, but are these new sounds only sent by the UP when near ammonia worlds?
Is it not just a case of being near any planet and putting your ship in front of it? Can this be checked around a non ammonia planet? Assuming it still works that data would be just as handy. If it DOES work, it would be good to get decodings from several planets in the same system to see which pieces of the data change.
 
Here is my recordings from last night, multiple copies of the audio from the same probe. Same system as Mykl, and the same resulting audio transcription, including the fifth phrase:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BztmS-BRueoKX3BZbWVicGl2QkU

PLEIADES SECTOR KC-U B3-1 8
Unknown Probe found in low-orbit: Anomaly Detected (Threat 2)

All recordings are made before scooping the probe.
Probe confirmed to be pointing at Merope 5C from moment of entry to signal source.

Pre-Honk recordings are made with Debug Camera, the probe was still floating, so these might have amplitude variation and occasional drops as I tried to keep up with it and sometimes failed.

Pre-Honk 1 might not begin straight away as I figured out the best place to get the Debug Camera.


Post-Honk recordings are made in-ship after honking the probe.

Post-Honk 1 consists only of four phrases. My theory here is that the timer for the phrases is independent of the honk, and thus the first one is missing because the probe was honking, rather than because the sequence restarted.


The video is of the one-minute final phrase in Post-Honk 2

I THINK mine made the noise when I got between it and Merope 5C, but I am not sure. Also how close do you have to be before you see gravity affect the UP? I was more than 5 Mm out from 5C, but my UP was heading for the planet even after i stopped it.
 
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)


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


THX for sharing :) BTW is there any other transscript from other system yet ?

played around with Your numbers a little, if we take from group 4 the "plain" numbers 135;82;136 and add/substract them as LY from Pleiades Sector KC-U B3-1 8
galactic position (I know tinfoil-approach, but last one after partially solving it we overthought yet much to much too :) ) -62:-134-360 we get six possible combinations of coordinates (x= -197 / +73 : z= -216 / -52 : Y0-224 / -496)
happens we have three candidates that way
HIP 25814 74 -55 -224
SYNUFEFAI NG-O B39-1 -199 -220 -223
SYNEFE UJ-O B26-0 76 -52 -496


until we get at least 1 more set of group 4 information it keeps speculative though
 
Just a thought... If the original UP spectrogram doesn't definitively say "ammonia" to lead us in that direction, is it fair to say that the new free floating UP might just have easily been found before the convoy UP, had luck or the RNG been working differently?

Both UP types of messages complement each other, but we don't need the one before the other in a linear fashion? This makes it less likely we'll get stuck on a single element.

We have the final row of the octal ratios in the new message to decode, and we may still have more to find in the original spectrogram.

Thinking cap on again...
 
+1 rep.

MB Has also confirmed this is good thinking.

we have been along that road before.
not necessarily correct thinking, just good....... The two are not necessarily identical

Had similar some 1 1/2 h ago, turning away from main star after scan to depart vector and suddenly whole screen yellow/greenish (sorry 50% colorblind:) ) so U just could see the shadows of your HUD/Cockpit, after some 15 seconds suddenly disappeared.
Until now I just thought it was a glitch of my graphic card (old lap, heating up nicely) but obviously you experienced it too.....

Someone else ???

Yep, a lot of us have had it.
 
Quick update :

#1 for Temperature
#2 for Gravity
#3 for Radius

are correct.

I have a partial recording from Pleiades Sector RO-Q B5-0 7
Only missing the first sequence of the five. Here is the grit of it :

Binary:
wail 001 X 001 001 100 # 001 111 101
wail 010 X 101 100 111 001 # 111 110 100
wail 011 X 110 001 101 111 # 111 110 100

Octal:
wail 1 X 114 # 175
wail 2 X 5471 # 764
wail 3 X 6157 # 764

Decimal:

wail 1 X 76 # 125
wail 2 X 2873 # 500
wail 3 X 3183 # 500

Ratios :

wail 1 X 0.608
wail 2 X 5.746
wail 3 X 6.366

Mult :
wail 1 (T) 0.608 * 297 = 181 vs 180
wail 2 (g) 5.746 * 0.18 = 1.03 vs 1.05
wail 3 (R) 6.366 * 1478 = 9409 vs 9407

As a bonus, binary for wail 4 :

wail 100 X
010 000 111 // 100 101 101 000 010 101 101 # 001 111 101 000
001 010 010 // 011 010 100 111 # 011 001
010 001 000 // 101 010 001 # 001 111 101 000

You really need to read my posts, the only thing I confirmed about the ammonia molecule is that I have a friend. Everything else is pure guess.

Nice to know, everyone needs a friend.
Mine has a husky voice and she lives in my ship's computer. She talks to me quite a lot on long journeys, telling me to watch out for Thargoids with prams jumping out in front of me on pedestrian crossings, and such like.
I think I need to lie down, she wants me to put some curtains up in the cockpit, and decorate the cargo hold.
:O
 
Anyone notice the new tourist station has some sort of pool that looks like the wierd glows on the UA?

Marco explained very well. It is intentional, it is not water (because there hardly can be water) and in luxury stations they have holograms resembling water. End of mistery.

I never said it was water. I said some sort of pool. I understand it may likely be a hologram but yet that doesnt take away the fact it resembles the glowing parts of the UA
 
Its The Argents Quest all over again....

If that ship, and it's cute waggy tail, comes back into the game... I'm defecting

Probably more to do with issues that arise from translating it from binary. I'd be willing to bet money that 'Bounty Hunter' or 'Bountyhunter' are the correct ways to infer it.

There's only 1 bit difference between Space (040) and ! (041)
