The climate on this thread has changed. I blame Al Gore and Michael Brookes. This is all a giant Federal conspiracy and we know it! Rizal72 knows that the barnacles on Uranus are Thargoids! That's why he's developing a soothing ointment to sell to the (m)asses! Don't buy it, though, it will turn your Asp yellow! The Ancient Aliens are humans! Soylent Green is people, but only people with bad taste! Someone said Kohl was a red herring, but I didn't listen to them because I'm hard of herring. Yoda and a Thargoid a bar walk into. Han Solo is the bartender and shoots the Thargoid first. No, wait! The Thargoid shoots first.

This is the last time I purposely wake up at 4:30 a.m. for a video game.

Yeah I'd roll over and hit the snooze button.

Are you sure?
I am pretty sure i saw dillon first in apademak,
before she was later seen elsewhere.

That Dillon was spotted in Apademak we are sure.

But we still have:

  • Granger doesn't carry cargo - He hangs around Apademak.
  • A Cobra is due to arrive at 21.00

As someone else said a couple posts ago, there is the - that could mean He is not Granger.
But then we really don't know where the Cobra will arrive.

Please don't think I'm singling you out Luke but I'm at breaking point with the number of times I see this now. This is what your post looks like to people who use the 'Frontier' theme:

Please people, leave your font setting on 'default' because it automatically adapts to all of the different themes. Thanks.

Haha, I automatically tried to highlight the text in the picture to read it.

Re: The Pulsar thing.

I decided to pop in the PSR designation used for pulsars into the galmap to see what came up in a search, and I was wondering if other people are seeing the same thing as me.

Now using EDSM I found some designations which are full and start with PSR, and I get the same phenomenon [dodo-dododo].

Probably a bug and almost certainly unrelated.

The map finds a system, zooms in, and then it disappears. I have never seen that before.

SDC have had about zero effective impact on this. They'd like to have, but they haven't.

guys, just a quick heads up to everyone.. It may happen that today during the encounter, we are only given more clues to keep solving riddles. I just would like to advise everyone on lowering the expectations a little bit. If we are feed with some alien thing at the end than it is only for the best, but if we wait for this to happen today and it doesn't happen, just don't get mad, it is our fault. The hidden message said: - it begins the 28th -, but never said when it does end.

Then you Sir, are much wiser than most of the rest of us.
I hoped so much, that "this" would be a kind of turning point in the overall gameplay experience of Elite. It kind of is, sadly in the opposite direction.

The idea is not bad at all. The execution should not be, but it happens that doesn't work for all.

I'm not grumpy and not complaining, but I don't like to just spectate and unfortunately this time no one can prevent it.

Dillon said: "I visited a rocky planet at latitude 34 near binary pulsars" and Kohl said "One of my friends always lies. The system has a single Class-M star". As Dillon is probably lying about the system having binary pulsars, let's instead assume the system has a single class-M star.

Now, we've previously received a clue about the explorer (Dillon): "The explorer was last seen in system Pic Tok". Why mention that system name in the clues unless it's important? Turns out that Pic Tok happens to have an M-class star and a single rocky planet. Perhaps that planet warrants a closer look at latitude 34.

This is going to be my first place to check.

BTW, what was the Roman Numerals message all about (posted in this thread a couple hours ago)?

ASCII converter & HEX editor (hex to ASCII) returned gibberish.

Also, this could be about aim. If Dillon is an explorer, he should have plotted a route through Pic Tok to Apademak in order to get home from wherever he was. Has someone tried to draw a line between Apademak and Pic Tok and looking where (if at all) this intersects with Galactic Latitude 34?

Pic Tok has no rocky planet, am i missing something, just ice bodies and gas giants

Since we're operating under the assumption that Dillon was lying about the pulsars, it seems people are assume they were lying about the planet being rocky too. However, if that were the case I think that Kohl would have said something about that. Why would he only correct half of a lie?
