But... if the planet has an axial tilt of -94 degrees and its moon has an orbital tilt of -6.8 degrees (in relation to its parent body's axial tilt) is the orrery representation correct?

I don't know, by the sounds of it you would know how to check. I just put the information in (though I did have to guestimate the semi major axis for the barycentre of c + d, but I think I've got it reasonably close) and trust Cmdr. Wolzan's awesome programming :D

For the record, persistant POIs are what we are really looking for at the moment, so a log out and login and if its still there and even in a different mode report it folks, if not its just standard fare and probably not worth reporting (unless of course its a new procedurally alien related stuff then we can check it out asa community)

Gotcha.

The moon system of the dwarf star is in the same plane as the dwarf star is to the main star. Within a fraction of a degree. This means the eclipse of the main and dwarf star will occur once per orbit, or about every 7 days.

So my plan is to visit all system between sol and COL 285 SECTOR UZ-O C6-9 looking for elw's, pretty much going to take a direct ;line from sol and see what happens

I've still got 30 or more pages to catch up on, and this probably has been mentioned before so apologies in advance:

I know we're all looking for ELW and USS around them.
But are we checking the dark sides for city lights? WE find one with those it may kick of the next part of the story or give something more concrete to focus on whilst looking for USS?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but it is highly relevant if the AXIAL tilt of the PLANET from which one is observing is not 0 from the ecliptic. Regardless of the moon's orbit around this planet or the orbital inclination of the planet to the sun (even if this is aligned with the moon-planet) then YES an eclipse will occur every time the moon orbits the planet, BUT the LOCATION of the shadow of this eclipse on the PLANET will change sinusoidally along the tropics.

I'm wondering if the already discovered 'abandoned research facility 5592' which contains a telescope in the model is unique in having that or whether any other planetary facilities discovered also contain a telescope?

If ED has a limited number of planetary models (Engineers excepted) I would expect to find other sites also containing telescopes and that 'might' suggest the telescope at 5592 isn't significant, however if only 5592 has the telescope then that may be far more significant.

I've been to some of the other planetary sites and whilst the models contain similar structures or SRV wheel tracks I haven't yet found another one with a telescope apart from 5592.

If you find another planetary site with a telescope, please would you let me know. Thanks

Below is a picture of the telescope from 5592

I wondered this also... i used the Debug camera to fly inside of the Telescope to look at the star formations it was looking at and maybe see if i could find the stars on the galaxy map.

But given that the Planet moves and the telescope does not, what its looking at will always be changing.

Nice idea it thought but...

I have a screen shot of the formations from the Telescopes point of view (at the time of my visting) i also think i found the stars at the centre of the image (Tagged in my galaxy map list in game).

***Update***
Already discovered . . . . never mind!!!

For reference it transmits at a quarter past the hour.

Hmm I wonder if it's handcrafted that way..

True, the axial tilt and rotation will affect where the shadow appears. I suspect though that since this moon is orbiting closely to a brown dwarf, the brown dwarf will be much larger than the apparent size of the main star, so the shadow will be larger than the entire moon. Assuming the brown dwarf doesn't emit any light of its own, the entire moon should be in shadow.

Would be interesting to be there. According to the Orrery, the eclipse should start about 21:30 on Dec 2.

That Orrery is a nice tool. Thanks Ozric!

I thought in game that the Main star and only the main star had light effects on the system. due to technology limitations.

I found a POI by following Listening Posts at COL 285 Sector ER-V d2-46, COL 285 Sector GM-V D2-72 and HIP 12959. I didn't find it while searching this thread, so I think it might be new, apologies if not.

It's a "Settlement Comms Log Uplink" on COL 285 Sector OP-L B9-0 A 1 at Lat -16.48391, Long -65.151093.

There's just the datapoint, which gives a notification that Uplink Data has been accessed (but doesn't result in an incoming message, or put anything in Transactions), a few materials, and a Damaged Escape Pod. The pod is now in my cargo hold, but I'm not sure if I should do something with it, or with the data extracted from the Uplink.

The one message on all the the Listening Posts that led here (differing only in the co-ordinate data) reads:

"We've got to report this... long:-65.151093 .....what do they want from us... That noise... help us..."

EDIT: Just as I was getting ready to leave, I heard a garbled voice message. A female voice saying something like: "Mayday, mayday. We have survived... supplies are running low... I'm including our coordinates with this transmission". I will try to get a recording of it. Maybe there's something hidden in the spectrograph or whatever.

EDIT 2: I can't see anything in there, but here's the audio for anyone that's interested: https://clyp.it/ckrwmldj

We have 3 areas of interest in Formidine, Hawking's and the Conflux but why is there no activity in the one direction that would mean we are truly surrounded.... ;-)

Could be somewhere around here if it's 10K LY out like the other 3...

or maybe Col 70 Sector?

Just sayin.... ;-)

But... Look how the moon orbits the planet in relation to the dwarf, in-game:

The moon's orbital tilt is RELATIVE to its parent's axial tilt and its parent body is the planet with the ruins, not the dwarf star. The orrery has this wrong.

Hi Folks,

Is there a list anywhere for Herald articles? I've just found one at Pre Logistics Support Epsilon, but don't know if it's new or already been dealt with.

Edit: NVM. Old news, apologies! (Couldn't find anything about it until converting the hex to text, then it all became findable).


Message is as follows:

***Carrier signal compromised***

***Encrypted data incoming***

58 53 50 50 4d 4e 20 4e 57 46 57 4a 20 59 41 4a 4a
53 57 49 20 59 41 4a 55 4d

***Supplementary data received***

The top dog sits by a purple giant with three children
in a sky with two bright stars. But I guess that's just
the beginning.

***End of line***

Hi,
I randomly discovered a listening post, followed the message then. I found a new hmm... "abandoned" outpost with an interesting story.
The listening posts: wredguia kc-k c22-1 / wredguia eb-f d11-37 / wredguia eb-m c21-11

The base:

The story: the 5. comms log is long, so in 2 images

Edit: I was watching in the evening yesterday CMDR Josh Hawkins live stream in YT, in which some rough AI was mentioned. Yep, tinfoil, but in the story in this base, like an AI would have protected himself from the purge.
