If we are indeed looking for a system near a binary pulsar,
it would be very conveniant since :


  1. The only way to know a neutron star is a pulsar in ED is that the neutron star in question is known as a pulsar IRL. There is nothing saying : this is a pulsar in ED.
  2. There is only one know binary pulsar : PSR J0737-3039. It can be found in game an lies 3K lyr away. (i.e. not that far).
well ingame there are plenty more of, even trinary and quadruples, last week - corewards 13KLY, I even found a nice one Byoi AiS JM-Wf1-38 - 2 NS 1 BH, 1 WD, or
EUMOQS IR-W f1-131 3 NS, 1 BH..... both a little far off though :)
 
the red trader stated that one of his friends lies and that the system has a single M-class star. One said binary pulsars and the other said a single star with 10 planets.

I think i'm gona go with the M-class star with 10 planets. Allot tougher to find as it's extremely common but the binary pulsars people are looking for might not even be real.


wasnt that pic tok though ?
 
I feel like we are looking to into the lying aspect, I think the only lie was the star class, not the location or type of planetary body.
Especially cause it seems like him saying one of my friends lies all the time, the system has 1 star, i feel if the rest was a lie he'd say it had 1 star, an icy body and was at a different coordinate

by logic it would seem that someone doing such a statement per sé must be the liar - as he states that "his friend" ALWAYS lies - which he only can know if he himself is the "friend"

Nice find :)
With the spawing in general, during my trials yesterday (spend a total of 15 hrs around KC-U 8, it seems as if spawning in general is generated upon entry of SOI, by means of spawn rate as well as of spawn types.
After entry of SOI U get quite quickly (5-6 Minutes) the first spawn, another 6-8 Minutes later the second and so on, but with increasing time delay between spawns. If U get two or three times the same, this doesn´t change anymore (U only will encounter these) until U left SOI and re-entered, or the unsual 1 hour rec<ycle-period of ED steps in (which would explain also the experiences from before - "U have to wait at least one hour to indentify a negative"). I´d rather say if U do 6 dips into SOI of 10 Minutes each and U get nothing, its more likely to be called a miss.
Same if within the first 15 Minutes there is no spawn at all (had that 3 times too), just get out and re-enter - 3 out of my 4 UP spawns until now have been spawning as first spawn after entry of SOI, 2 times even on approach before reaching Orbit 13-15Mm....

my standard flightpath..

@keybuck and I have been working on a canonn report about how signal spawning works, it will probably be a series with very good science in there. Should be released soon.

Nice, my approach was based on Your preliminary released findings - seem to support it...

Add: as I will be the next days SOI dipping anyway - shall I report spwan times/rates/type etc to U two, so that Ur database increases?

If you keep your own db with signals we can later correlate all of them, but making it is very time consuming, not to mention that you can't just log everything, some of the entries I tracked only have time and distances and I don't even know what signal it is :)

Well, I am onroute to SpockoddSocks new find to check for UP spawn. I shall logg all data timestamped and chronologically. As I think that theories about spawn mechs can (beside of hacking) be proven by statistics only, and the topic itself is not only interesting in regard of UPs ;) how many guys where lloking for a red T9?

Keybuck theory involves a vector to maximize the spawn rate, however if you select an USS to resolve it, it will change your vector (not in direction, but in speed), therefore some of the tests have been conducted without resolving the signals. It is all pure statistical analysis, yes.
 
CG is borked. I've delivered 1000 tons in the last hour and the total is still stuck at 4,800,822. Possibly FD does not want it to complete until start of business day in the UK.

Been watching it for the last 12 hours, the totals update hourly

moer than likley in about 55 minutes it will update to 5.1m ish ( a relog might be needed at youre end to update it)

It updated 5 minutes ago showing as 5,039,000 tonnes

The problem with that reasoning is that it requires us to assume that FD are using the terminology very precisely and there is no evidence to support that. The fact that the word is used in the context of a clue to a mystery makes it even more likely that they're just using "pulsar" as a synonym for "neutron star". If the assumption is wrong then the clue - if it's even true - could well be talking about any system with a pair of neutron stars.

Unlikely, since the precise term for pulsar binary is a binary in which at least ONE star is a pulsar (literally several dozens of these that are known) but if you want to stretch the pulsar analogy then Frontier could be referring to an eclipsing binary, which is a pulsing binary whose ecliptic plane aligns with the view from Earth.

could they mean twin gas giants that are close to stellar fusion ?
 
In day to day, professional, life I'm a long-time user and active member of the stackoverflow community (search 'Andras Zoltan' in google and check out the first result from stackoverflow.com).

Why is that important? Well, it's not, really, except to say that that community has struggled with how to welcome 'noobs' in, in such a way that encourages them to improve their questions whilst also motivating them to become contributing members of that community, rather than presenting a wall of 'clique' to any and all who stumbles on a Q+A.

Bottom line: Yes, everyone *should* read the FP, but not everyone will, but they might do if they knew that's where to find the answers to questions they have.

And then there's the potential members of the community: those who do a google search and stumble on this thread: if they see posts from helpful people answering questions in a non-salty manner, encouraging people to get involved, then there's a greater likelihood they'll create a profile and do so.

So please, everyone: remember - not everyone is an old hand at this thread stuff, or the game or its mysteries, but if somebody takes the time to get involved, then the least we can all do is recognise that effort, acknowledge the courage in joining such a mammoth discussion, and respond with positivity and civility.

This whole little community lives and dies on its ability to attract people in alongside keeping hold of the people it already has - and it's everyone's responsibility to ensure that we are welcoming and appreciative of all new and existing efforts. Denigrating a new poster for not reading the FP or whatever is lazy: being forgiving, tolerant and helpful takes effort, and I'd hope we all share the desire to put that effort in.

The community is king here, we all own a stake in it, and with that stake comes responsibility: make sure you're worthy of it.

Wow dude just googled you - much respect here [up]
As a father of 5 teens looking to get them on their feet in the modern world, showing them what a person(like you and others) can do if they put their mind to it really helps centre them for the future.

Thanks for sharing
