Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

[Allant Doran]

Just found out, while carrying some of the items from the site, that the Beluga is one of the least tanky ships in the game by a long mile. Survived the attack but it was only 1 npc interdiction and it nearly destroyed me.

Returning to the bubble to refit into something that won't melt on me. Had to drop my items prematurely so going to have to go out and get some more soon.

Is this a bug ?

I'm almost certain it is, I discovered it yesterday and after a lot of testing concluded it duplicates the first set you approach if you're in a populated instance in Open.

You better not fall in love with a princess and join the Thargoid side, otherwise there won't be anybody to keep the forum's padawans under control!

Well ..some were in Lake of Como ...not far away.

Guys has the search for the second site over at COL been abandoned ?

 

[zzehirbazz]

I actually agree completely on this.

I've often speculated in the past that 'The Guardians' had a double meaning. Firstly it was the SLFs added to the game. Secondly it was a name given to the race of these new-style bases. They are very, VERY unlike the UA, UP and Crashed Vessel.

Also, a tad meta-gamey, but the font of 'The Guardians' text used in the 2.2 trailer is of a similar style to these new bases.

If I had to put my lot in with one of these findings, the Xenohenge is my preference. I think we need the help of the information at these sites... badly.

Therefore, next update, Commanders might also mean that we will get to see alien ships commanded by different races as a double meaning. But I agree with you I also thought it had a double meaning because the font used for guardians are the same shape and material with what is being used for alien sites and might actually refer to those sites being guardians of something else. I wouldn`t be so surprised if I saw a huge alien base sprouting under those ruins in the future.

REFLECTING LIGHT!

Heres the pic.

Imagine a light path!

Havent worked it all out yet, but this is just a rough sketch.

Anyone have a video of these new lifeforms? Youtube has so far failed me.

I think some people are still there. Many are getting disillusioned with the search. There is a lot of ground to cover... literally.
And there are some doubts to the sites existence. The biggest of which is how identical the site is down to the ruined walls.

Yesterday in solo, I was parked near the lighted obelisk, SRV scanner off, and was wondering, where did i have heard the sound before. Now i know. It's from here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FInmC8ILpH8&list=PLE3Nh-O1K19gu-1laoyOIyR2W4EgzZ4nS&index=12

To me, these are almost identical, only the sound from the game is faster (higher in tones).

Now small transcript from the movie scene, where they manage to crack the signal:

Luke, what about that sound you heard before the explosion?

Oh, yeah, good, Jim. That's the key. That's the key.

You hear that? Yeah.

Those pauses. Do you hear the pauses?

See, that's what made me realise it's a pattern.

It's a repeating pattern.

Mathematical? That occurred to me too.

There are distinct blocks within each pattern, and within each block,
the tones come in groups of three.

It's three-three-three, three-three-three.
Always three-three-three.

It's always the same.
For months, I struggled to analyse it trying different constructs,
and then I thought about dimensions.

X-Y-Z coordinate. Exactly. Three groups equals three dimensions.

So I-I assigned different graphic values
to each block, group and tone, and I came up with this.

Oh, my God. Is that what I think it is?

DNA. You see it?

Yeah. It's a model of DNA.

If anyone is playing in Mobius or a private i would be very happy to help out searching

I have the flu and with all of the post everything is just making my head ache and im not sure where to go anymore

Mission to Mars is such an underrated movie... I love it !

Yes it's a prism. All of them are. Standard equal sided prisms, just like Newton used to splitt light in different colours.

Ask Aisling what her ‘Prism’s Shades’, realy is. Might give a hint.

This is somehow supported by the fact, that you can shoot out the three top parts on the antennae, thus forcing the beam to shine in a particular way.
Was drawing similar lines few days ago, but discarded the idea, because i didn't find satisfactory solution.

 

[mGtRd]

Thanks , is there a specific planet people are searching? I was there last night but it seemed people were checking each different bodies which doesnt help....we should group and pick a planet? Which is the planet with the highest expectations?

 

[Tunotemetas]

So... we were thinking and after seeing the "rocket leage" post we noticed something:

What if the ruins are an alien football/soccer stadium?

Orb: ball
Casket: the table to put the urn
Urn: the trophy
Tablet: where they write the score
Totem: a statue of the creator of the stadium/team
Relic(or its towers): the light of the stadium.

Just think about it, makes sense!

I'm almost certain it is, I discovered it yesterday and after a lot of testing concluded it duplicates the first set you approach if you're in a populated instance in Open.

I have tried to duplicate it and been unable. I can cause some weird      to happen at the site (bugs), but not this.

It doesn't seem like a bug though, I mean it's a completely different column?

 

[Jorki Rasalas]

It sounds daunting but honestly how big can space be?

"Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”

*snip*.

it's a nice idea,

Except your "beam of light" would not pass through/react with those prisms in the way you are showing. The back wall of the prism would be doing the reflecting with the exit wall doing some refracting, you don't enter an axis of a prism and leave via another it's just not that mathmatically/physically simple.

You need to look at whether the "light" runs down the middle gap of the prism rows or through them from the rectangular blocks, as you have it showing both in different places.

not saying you are wrong with this approach, just that it needs to be consistant all over.

 

[AlistairHope]

Just something for you guys to rule out, if you haven't already (search of the thread didn't show anything).

Hauled an Ancient Relic, Casket, Orb, Urn and and Totem over to Khun and Elvira Martuuk, on the basis of:

'She is fascinated by all things alien, and has become expert at spotting human fakes.'

...in her description, and you have to give here Soontil Relics to get access to her. Thought she really ought to have an opinion on the things, and maybe at least hand out a red herring [big grin]

But nothing in her engineer interface looks to have changed, there is no market to sell them, and discarding a relic at the base didn't do anything, so apparently not.

Heelo,

Just tried: not possible (yet ?) because no market in Long Sight Base (Elvira).
I didn't found any option to give her the relics.

 

[Turban]

Just found something super weird next to the site. Gathering or radio probe (the big bal) , escape pods everywhere, tons (20+) containers.... weird. But nothing so far. POI bug i guess.

It lookied like an alien ship from afar. So disappointed...View attachment 112948
