Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

Careful there. The assumption that the numbers beacons are operated by Sirius Corp. is, in my view, unfounded, given the available data. The tone and wording of the Herald: ciphertext articles suggests a third party, when you combine that with the fact that the escaping prisoners at Takurua were in Sirius Corp. ships. I'd say this is tentatively ruled-out, and we need more data before it is reconsidered. Until then, best maintain skepticism on that point.

Could be a valid point, perhaps its only related to the meta drive part of some storyline on that front
 
I had a conversation with one of the FD devs a the last Elite meet and I got the impression, reading between the lines, that it was not inevitable that Jaques was not going to make it to Beagle point, and that it was player action (or inaction) that drove the mis jump. This wasn't stated categorically so I could be wrong, but certainly my impression was that this whole thing where Jaques is located where it is was not planned from the beginning. It is partly evolving by player action.

I should stress that I'm not the world's greatest empath at reading between the lines, so I may be completely wrong, but my personal impression is that certain big elements of the ongoing story are in place, but a lot of details and story elements are changing, being eliminated, or being added, based on player response to different things.

Michael has definitely implied the same. So when the Thargoids wipe out the main bubble we'll have jmanis to thank for causing the misjump that lead to the colony that is humanity's last and best hope for survival ;)
 
Weird behaviour happens in one place, and the same weird behaviour is seen in a completely separate place. Which is more likely...?
1. it's a bug the happens everywhere (or perhaps just all permanent POIs)
2. it's an intentional clue to a link between two otherwise completely unrelated mysteries

On the basis of very little testing in 2.2 you've completely discounted the first possibility despite how completely unreasonable linking the mysteries is (one's an ancient alien construction and the other is a human mining operation hundreds of Ly away).

That's not the scientific process.

That's a somewhat old post you're quoting there. I got excited and jumped to a conclusion. I have since visited the mining site myself, and have encountered none of the gravity warning oddities. Nor any reference to ruins, just seems like a corporate cover up rather than an alien mystery.

I thought someone else in the thread found a link between the mining site and the Ruins, but going back through the thread, I must have misread or misinterpreted the post. I will not be making that mistake again. Unless they are a member of Canonn I can trust not to get over excited, I will not be going on their word alone. If I can, I will be conducting my own research and investigation, especially when it comes to this, which can easily be found in game.

I made a mistake and have since taken back that statement, but I never delete a post or remove information especially when people have quoted it multiple times. Even when I am wrong. It's unprofessional.

Jumping to conclusions based on little evidence is a recurring theme in these threads, and I am so sorry that I contributed to it. I am, quite frankly, embarrassed. I will be making an edit to the original post being quite clear that I no longer support what I wrote.

Neither have I. I also haven't heard whether or not any pointing behaviour has been checked with the this or the UP, or whether any of the UP sounds have changed at all.

(I'd check some myself, but still not back in the bubble... not the UA morse either, never been able to make that out :D).

I'm fairly certain pointing behaviour has been checked. It certainly has for the UAs from the crash site. But we definitely need to recheck the audio codes from both UAs and UPs.
 
At 3m01s you get to see the probe knock my APS around. flying with flight assist off.

This is a beacon?! I've never seen any beacon like that.

Edit: I can't freeze frame it. Could someone else, please?

That's one of the voyager probes. They can be found (with difficulty) in Sol.

And why should we do that if it effects our roleplaying?

Or even ask them "Do you mind if I role play good sir?". Ummm no. It's not griefing, don't like it, play solo or private group. I won't have my fun impeded just because you don't want to play my way.

It's griefing. You don't have a right to your "fun" at the expense of anyone else's enjoyment, just like I don't have the right to punch someone in the street no matter how much fun it would be. Inventing a thin justification for your actions doesn't change the fact that you are griefing. If you don't like being labelled griefers then do your role-playing in a private group.

Theres a lot of these number beacons within 50-70ly of sol, theres a lot of potentially unchecked <1000ls planteary bodies that havent been checked yet, working on parts of that at the moment

I'm on the other side of the world from most players so I often end up replying to posts late. If there isn't too much to catch up I'll read them all before replying but when the thread is as busy as it currently is it's easier to reply as I go.

Sorry if I came across as grumpy, I try to rein in the theories I think are getting too close to be stated as fact without enough justification (IMO) and I know it can come across as a bit harsh. I'm very impressed by your contrition though, props for that!

I think the number stations look a bit different to that, don't they? Anyone got a pic?

I will fix that mistake (lack of photo) later. Short description: Geodesic dome on one end, blue flashing light on the other, two solar arrays, rotates around axis that runs between dome and flashing blue light.
 
Role-playing: I think the Canonn Research Group should fund their own capital ship which can sit watch over sites of special scientific interest to protect researchers from any such radicalised religious "followers".

do you think Canonn has enough power or cash to overcome the number of little de-civilized brats that would attract? These are experts of stupidity and hatred- you can't fight them by wallowing in their toilet.
 
It's been pointed out that there was originally a marker that appeared shortly after the discovery of the second alien crash site. Now, that marker is gone. I wonder if it was an in-game checkpoint designed to basically tell the developers, "Hey, they found this, time to do something about it."

They can do that without removing the waypoint.
 
Could the escape prisioners reference point to a beacon in a prison colony system, the military checkpoint could reference a military system as well ( just more speculation and lateral thinking here)

The one in the video is definitely a voyager probe (described as "ancient probe", jurisdiction is "Mother Gaia").

Does having found 'live' unknown artifact probey things at the new Hip site make the following Galnet
article regarding the Pleiades crash site incorrect ?...
I see several have talked about the connection between the Alien Ship and the UAs. There is a third possibility; the cmdr/pilot of the SRV was in the process of collection/dispatching the UAs and the Alien Ship came looking for him/them.
It seems a bit strange for there to be both a wrecked SRV and UAs on the site, when there was not a trace of either near the first that was found.
Just throwing that out there before someone jumps in and claims that "The Alien Ship was carrying UAs, so they are definetely related" is a fact.
Leave doors open people, not just the ones you want to see.

Point of order, we were not griefing. We were defending the site. We the Followers of Jebb declare this site sacred!
Did you warn the pilots near the site that this was your errand? Did you ask any of them if they believe in Jebb? Did you give them a chance to leave by their own volition? If your answer is no to either, then you're not RPing.


And most importantly; THIS:
The main focus?
PLAY THE GAME.
The FrontPage is not there to tell you what to do: it's purpose is to keep track of all the mess and to put it in an "ordered" way. Mostly.
Then YOU DECIDE what to do with it.
Nobody here gives orders. Nobody sets up a list for someone to do. We all work with the things that fancy us, and then share what we learn in the hopes that others will learn from it and maybe take it a step further.
In that process there are a few things to consider:

1. Don't just throw out "It's X!" if you can't substantiate it with repeatable tests. Anything here is a THEORY until proven otherwise. And if it's speculation on your behalf, then clearly mark it as such! (then see #2)

2. Don't just say "I think it's Y" without also adding your logic and/or reasoning behind that belief. Explain why you think it's Y. If you explain it, there is a higher chance of people listening to your theory and applying it to their own thinking, and maybe come up with a combined theory or some tests that can add to it.

3. Don't ask for everyone else to do tests for you! If you believe a test is important, then do it yourself! Most "have anyone tried A" comments have usually already been tried and noted here, are annoying because they literally ask you to do someone elses work, and/or get ignored because they don't follow the guidelines in #2. If you absolutely are unable to do tests yourself (ie. you're 20k LY away), then ask nicely for someone to do the tests for you. They are less likely to be ignored if you do, especially if you add stuff described in #2. And if you're in the bubble, you can fly there yourself! It's not that far. Video and sound recording software is also readily available for free, so that is not a reason for asking others to do work you consider important.

4. Don't go into the files...EVER! If you do that, you do not belong in this thread. Either get your nose out of those files, or leave this thread and do your "research" solo.

5. Play nice and maybe there will be biscuits for all.
 
Can either of the crash sites be seen from your ship as a blue POI on your scanner?

Actually, can you also let me know if this is the case for geysers and that fungus found in Colonia?

If we lose the Bubble 1.0, we are utterly and truly screwed! Bubble 2.0 does not hold enough resources or facilities to hold all of mankind atm. They other way around would make sense though; ie. the pioneers at the edge of space meet aliens, and it's the established worlds responsibility to either come to their aid or make a stand at Bubble 1.0.
 
So I'm out at Dav's Hope just checking out the abandoned mining camp for myself, spooky but cool place! Really makes me want space legs and the ability to run around places like this in first person mode.

But I think I found out where Team 6's resting place is...

Up on the side of the mountain from Dav's Hope (c. 5km away) are a cluster of 12 Automated Mining Extractors next to a bunker if not already spotted. Yield various cargo on destruction.

Yep Moodeo, I think you are right. Here is the extractor site just a bit up the hillside from Dav's Hope:

And here is why I believe this is where Team 6 was working, and judging from the station logs, ended up dying:

Rest in peace Team 6. [downcast]
 
Could you explain what Team 6 is? Lost colony type thing?

Alternatively, 1.0 might be in a state of war and 2.0 may be considered the "safe" place for players not interested in conflict.
