UAs, Barnacles and other mysteries Thread 8 - The Canonn

[bitstorm]

I don't even know what the       going on anymore.

We have to sell fish from market that just magically appeared or something?

This is something to do with the Kohl thing or something entirely different?

 

[Possum]

Dang. I'm in a conda. Is a python the best bet for this?

 

[Julio Montega]

Think of it this way:


"

Don't be suprised if the CG is not actually something you participate in but is what FD are using to give out this part of the clue so it's more readily readable by all players, my take forget trying to bring anything to it just decode the message, if they seemingly asked for fish its likely place holder like it was for engineers beta testing.

Smart thinking.
The time limit of 2,5 hours coincides with the decoded 3PM time of arrival
of the explorer.
That part i assume is in open, so the players can switch the ships.

I presume the 21:00 o'clock be the final stage then.

Relax guys.

Some stuff will be live in Open, and if you are lucky enough to be in the same instance as those FD players, you'll get the message first hand.

However, FD aren't total buffoons and they know the shortcomings of their instancing system, and also the other modes, they'll make sure everyone can get the message one way or the other (multiple chances).

So relax. Please.

The passage you highlighted in the quote reinforces my thought i guess,
the cg is the alternative to decoding.
Either play decoder or hauler."

CG text decoded

"THE EXPLORER WAS LAST SEEN IN SYSTEM PIC TOK HE RETURNS EACH DAY AT THREE PM GMT"

Ah, Pic Tok... I know this system well

I love how people are complaining they are being 'Forced' to play Open, but that is bad because they don't like PvP.

''Why can't I ride my motorcycle around this kids' park? I'm being FORCED on to the roads. WAAH.''


Yes, events don't always have to abide by your comfort zone.

Apparently. Though I am of the opinion that the CG was just the quickest way for FD to get the missing encrypted clue into the game, in which case FD don't intend us to actually do the CG.

 

[Nazdakka]

Dropped fish at Kippax. The CG shows up as 40 tons collected.

w00t.

Yes when stuff like this is happening an Asp or Python is your best bet.

Exactly:
if the tier is reached, the message will decode itself
Shame those geniuses here already decoded it in 30 seconds

 

[MuttonChops24]

This is a player driven storyline. Its only appropriate for it to be in open.

I feel like this thread is starting to devolve into a PvP vs. PvE thread.

 

[Special Circumstances]

So, does the explorer want Fish, Narcotics or Meta-Alloys... or to combine all three to create a new drug crazed meta aquatic lifeform?

 

[GeneralGhostt]

so if thinking right:

THE EXPLORER WAS LAST SEEN IN SYSTEM PIC TOK HE RETURNS EACH DAY AT THREE PM GMT

today 3pm gmt we can meet this "explorer" and and 9 pm the rest comes
this will go on as long as we dont compleet the puzzle

so the questions are:
wich system?
where?
how?
npc or CMDR?
is cargo needed?

 

[Anarch157a]

Market appeared

So Fish from Lenoir City, HIP 21559 to Kippax Dock Ngalia - Outpost medium Pad only

Dang. I signed up for it, nut I'm flying an Anaconda :-(

Yeah I agree. I'm running it anyway to waste time but I don't think we NEED to. Just better safe than sorry at this point lol

 

[rizal72]

PLEASE PEOPLE STAY IN TOPIC, STOP TALKING ABOUT OPEN AND SOLO.

We have a mystery to solve.

THANKS

 

[Kintch]

Dropped Fish and Narcotics at the CG. It does nothing to the progress (even if Fish have 999,999 demand, as in other CGs these days).

Proposition : the CG was just a way to convey a message. With a galaxy-wide megaphone. Should be safe to assume, the actual CG is unimportant.

 

[Frankymole]

For the unenelightened or time-strapped, is there a summary of the solutions so far, and "the Kohl thing"?

 

[RedWizzard]

I love how people are complaining they are being 'Forced' to play Open, but that is bad because they don't like PvP.

''Why can't I ride my motorcycle around this kids' park? I'm being FORCED on to the roads. WAAH.''


Yes, events don't always have to abide by your comfort zone.

I don't disagree, but the flip side of that is that Kohl apparently got killed before he could deliver the next clue. Some would call that entirely predictable. And some would call that farcical.

 

[Julio Montega]

This is a player driven storyline. Its only appropriate for it to be in open.

It is the only "interactive" way i guess,
a riddle placed on galnet with multiple riddles
based on local news would be the alternative.
But then there would be no Ships sending you ingame hooks.
