Hello Everyone, I'm new here, glad to join the tinfoil !

I have an idea on what the bottom left mark of the nonogram could be.

In my opinion it is a set of coordinates in binary. The bottom line is 2^1, the one above is 2^2 and so on...

From this image: http://i.imgur.com/yP5rmjn.jpg

it would translate into "4 58 9 1 9 9 10 9 9 5 1". The zero in "10" is a guess from my part in order to have symmetric pattern. As for the first 4, maybe it is a reminder of the planet ?

What do you guys think ?
 
I think I'd expect the dot pattern to be a way of finding this star system, range in ly maybe ? distance from Sol would be a good one. Perhaps some kind of base 9 count, to do with the position of the dots seeing as we're doing 9's today :) ( and they do take up 27 columns)
 
Couldn't the bottom be star coordinates.

Possibly, but the heights of the dots are interchange-able as long as you keep the number of dots in the row the same (so if you move one up or down, you have to move one down or up to balance).

My current working theory is that the heights of the dots doesn't matter, and the number in the column is important. That way we only have two variations based on which asteroid belt format you go with.

Of course, I have no clue what the dots then mean either, but it should either be a clue to the location of the system, or a clue to lat/long coords on the planet.
 
Hey, don't know if it's mentioned already but in LAKLANO (Laklano 3A) is a "UNREGISTERED COMMS BEACON". I don't know what it's Pattern is but I my buddy keeps there to look for it.

My Buddy CMDR H0rus and CMDR Supershadow98xD on Xbox keep looking for it but we appreciate every helping Hand because we are no Superbrains in this kind of Riddle :D
 
Has this been shown?

It's just I have been unable to duplicate this.

Not saying it's not happening but confirmation bias is a thing and people say lots of things.

I have seen this. I refuelled my SRV using synthesis and I got a fuel warning requiring another refuel very soon after. I can't tell you if it had anything to do with the henge or if it is some kind of bug. I did board my ship and redeploy my SRV while playing around in the smaller circle, I was also ferrying artefacts back and forth. We would need a 100% reproducible method to say anything for sure.
 
Surprised more people aren't talking about the healing laser effect on the monolith. I don't have a laser with that special effect, have people tried mining lasers or different types of laser with the heal effect?
 
Checking nonogram solvers, it seems they possibly used this:

http://a.teall.info/nonogram/

You can press "Load" und paste the corrected data from page #1 into the edit field. At least, this solver seems to directly understand the JSON grid format (ver/hor etc.). Be warned, solving the thing via JavaScript is dead slow.

HTH [noob]

EDIT: The solver runs for some time and then capitulates :S Well, it was worth a try. The solvers I've checked all use a different data format.

I don't believe it has been mentioned. In another thread someone mentioned one in Takurua as well, but that one seemed to relate to a local mission with escaped prisoners. So unless laklano matches our nonogram map I'd say it's probably a different puzzle entirely.

Someone should try shooting various things with a heal laser....could just do the heal effect when you're not hitting a ship. If it damages other random things then what it's doing at the ruins is likely to be significant.
 
As this has been re-checked recently and is 100% correct (FDeve Approved), the ambiguity of the bottom left corner must be intentional, or our tools are useless.

I'm pretty basic, so I tried translating the empty spaces into morse code, which came back negative results. Is there another cypher method to use those empty spaces?
 
Yeah i tried to shot structure before with my healing laser beam, it does te grid effect when you hit the hull, but don't see anything else
 
I have absolutely no basis for this guess other than gut instinct and letter count matching, but backwards the counts at least match "Horsehead dark region" - reversed and ciphered to be that, of course...

This. Note how they've been added to rows that do not contain moons (as if overlaid on the top of a concrete solution as an afterthought).

It would explain why this region of the nonogram has multiple solutions. Finding a correct solution may not be important. What isn't ambiguous is the number of coloured squares per row: 6, 4, 9.

It should be useful to know if the asteroid belt has to be encoded as

.'. .'. or .'. '.' (plot horizontally for semlicity)

So using those as sequences of binary base-9 (in three groups that use up the 27 columns equally, it gives 104, 1243, 107 - convert to Decimal and it gives 85, 930, 88 which is about the co-ordinates I'd put a thing to find if I were FD. Not online at the mo so can't really test it out ( and I'm actually 18Kly in the black even if I were)

Following the logic of my proposal, the un-encoded blank field would represent the asteroid belt. I'm not necessarily keen on it, just putting it out there.
