I'm heading to pic tok for a nose around the planet. HIP 17217 is in the middle between apademak pic tok and massagetae... Anyone looked over the rocky planet there?
 
I followed all of yesterday's events here whilst travelling out 5000LY for access to Palin, for me it was fascinating to watch and read all the posts whilst I wasn't able to directly participate.

I have some thoughts on Barnacles, other aliens and thargoids put together from what has been happening recently together with other clues or statements.

I recall that on the original schedule for 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc at the very end after all the Engineers, Guardians etc were released that there would be a 'surprise', I have always considered that would be the most likely time for the Thargoids to appear.

The Barnacles, UA, UP appear to be non Thargoid related i.e. another alien race type and that is what I think the next mystery we are currently chasing to solve will relate to, I am more convinced than ever of this due to the shape of the crashed 'alien' vessel being not 'Thargoid' in shape.

The recently released Elite Dangerous Artwork book contains some information about game design and sticking with the original ship shapes for the Cobra and others, I think after reading that statement it is unlikely the Thargoid ships will have changed in their shape when they appear.

Another fascinating statement and picture related to a hollow planet with a station inside which the developers hoped to return to as an in game concept in the future.

I know of a fellow CMDR who was in an area of space and who was 'moved' by FD as that sector was made 'off limits' for a future part of the game, I cannot recall whether or not that was COL 70 or somewhere else.

Anyway I'm finding this thread very interesting and all those who have solved the clues and decrypted the messages are doing superb work, thank you.
 
Isn't the COL 70 sector below the galactic plain? Might it be at an angle of about 34 degrees from apademak region?

if so could that be the search vector?

(sorry I'm not very good at this sort of thing.)
 
There's no reason they have to spin; non-rotating neutron stars can exist just like non-rotating black holes can. Neutron stars spin down as they effectively shed rotation energy via their magnetic fields. I don't know if the universe is old enough for any to have spun down to a stop though.

Ok, but my point really, was about it not JUST being the spin that makes a neutron star a pulsar, but the angle of rotation on relation to the magnetic poles.
 
So you had fun doing things that didn't involve actually playing the game? While that may be entertaining, I think that says quite a bit about the current state of ED.
The main problem was that not all people could access the information (instance of the server, players killing the characters and other players... etc) So... what we got in resume was hours and hours looking for clues that we couldn't get.
I saw a lot of threads posting about what characters said as first clues... but nobody posted what they said if you deliver what they asked for.

That's the problem: we can't get enough information even if we spent all day long to play this CG :(
It's frustrating and I'm off after waist 15 hours of a free day on this. I feel stupid right now :(

I don't think they'll do it as as actual meetings in Open as this is a weekday and most people are working or at school.

If they'll release new clues today, they should be doing it in a way that everyone can get the clues in their own time. At least I hope so after the salt this suday has caused for some people.
 
Tired of hearing people moaning. It seems they want it to be all about them, instead of a community effort.
"I didnt get to meet the trader" "He didnt show up in my instance"

Seriously, how crap would it be if they showed up to anyone and everyone. I havent managed to have contact with any of them either, but this is a collective goal with collective progression. As long as someone managed to meet them and they share the info here its the same end result so i'm happy.

Quit being so self-obsessed and negative and help the community progress with these games

Perhaps....but doesn't the 1500hrs quoted occur daily (unless that's the lie)
