Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

It drives me crazy. The footprints were left? It's definitely not the stone walls. No debris. There is no wind. Maybe they leveled the ground under the foundation of base? It looks very, very strange. I think more and more about the error. The mistake of the artist.
Apparently earthen structures have very different geometries. This geometry is completely different with that built on top. Completely different approach. This ruins are combined only with large walls. Inside, they absolutely can not be combined with the ruins.

Further to the SRV fuel drain at the Item locations, has anyone else found they cannot refuel their SRV after visiting?

After running low on fuel at the relic site, I docked at Exiphary (spelling may be off, closest station to Site) and had the SRV refuel message as well as manually refuelling the ship, but on next deployment my SRV was still Critical on fuel reserves.

However, the real question is: How can we find the depicted system among 400 billions? We still need some other clue to figure out...

I SUGGEST CHECKING SYSTEMS IN THE JUNCTION LINES OF LAVE, SOL, AND ERAVATE...

Charlie - X-ray - Yankee. Looks like phonetic alphabet.
C - X - Y
What does it mean?

4C is the Clue, found in Jupiter's message. Check the FrontPage for details.

who found this random nav beacon thats spitting out Hanjie?

I'm getting a big discrepancy between the fuel level reported for the SRV from within the ship and the level that is reported when I'm actually in it. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature...

This figure, it is the top !!!! One idea. Something covered with cosmic dust. It's a lot of ancient monoliths. On monoliths no dust! But under the dust? It is low, as the cable ... not high.
What are we looking?
Here are 3 structures! not 2
1 level large wall
2 level "figure"
3 level monoliths

CMDR Zaratan found it, Check the FRONTPAGE.

There are three unregistered Beacons playing the same message, being the same starting point for the same hunt (in Sol, Achenar and Gateway).
These three beacons lead to Lave and Eravate, where other two messages were found. These two, depict the system map.
There's also a Clue in the first message: 4C.

Wait... there was a wormhole, that connected our galaxy with 7 others? And... it is in current canon..?

"2589 Astronomical study reveals that the galaxies are, in fact, located in our own galaxy, spread across three different spiral arms, including the Perseus Arm. The name ‘galaxies’ sticks, however.[10.1]"

"3164 During this year, the stable wormhole connecting Galaxy 1 to Galaxy 2 and thence to the rest of the seven Galaxies collapses. It is thought highly likely that the collapsing was engineered. Galaxy 1 stands alone. InterPol (formerly GalCop) is reduced from over 2,040 worlds to less than 200. The once great GalCop is a shadow of its former self and no longer a threat to either Federation or Empire. The Exile remains in force [10.3]. Before the collapse the number of GalCop citizens was around five thousand billion (or five trillion) [9]."

Actually, the original wormholes lead to the badly named "galaxies", that were no other than star clusters inside our own Milky Way. many years after, the wormhole leading to the other seven was closed, so no present access to it. Any, that means that there must be human civilization colonies on the so named "galaxies" 2 to 7, somewhere in the galaxy.

The fuel drain is surely there, we are moving batteries for the items and the spots on the ground. I did some tests with the Relic, if it can somehow power the items and places like we do. The answer is - no.

*facepalms* I've been landing-deploying-boarding-docking-landing-... trying to check SRV fuel levels... read the manual kids! My SRV fuel is at 1% now, and that's after 2 attempted refuels at dock. I'll have another go at refuelling on my way back to the site. Hopefully the site has bugged my SRV rather than this being a ED bug.

Are we still searching Asterope for clues as well?

X and Y are the two coordinates for the nonogram: check the image on the frontPage: Eravate being the X and Lave the Y.
Charlie is part of the 4C clue.

Well i checked the nonogramm, maybe the white dotes are a morse code?

Try´d to check that, but ANEH doesnt make sence, maybe Hena?!?

K: Forget that^^

Thinking bubbles

Where would that ramp be "aiming to", if it was set back 90° upright and the lower ring section would pop up to the sky in the same angle?

Plus: maybe the same technological aspect described by two different species?

I'm there now but it's looking grim.

deleteduser · Oct 30, 2016

From the last couple of pages, it looks like Asterope has been done; Official rescue & cleanup forces are on-site. Maybe a GalNet article or a word with FDev can give us a final nod on this?

Are unregistered beacons important? I saw one very recently in another system. Worth checking out?

A bit more frequency analysis (and a HTML5 re-rendering of the sequence for fun):

Not seeing anything in the heat maps (other than the active/inactive pattern).

Hmm, head-scratch time...

It is a bug

If the nonogramm is a system map (which is what I'd bet on), could the white dots in the lower left be clues to finding the system?
