Erm. Possibly? Why would a more advanced device transmit information in a completely different way (i.e. in Octal to base 8 rather than decimal?) Given my rudimentary knowledge of human psychology that to me would indicate that whatever is programming the devices is doing so from a different mathematical base (i.e they have 8 fingers / legs / appendages / tentacles) rather than 10. Like us.

After 300 jumps with a UA and 150 jumps with nothing, for a grand total of 1 winterdiction, I am willing to give anything a try
I borrowed the picture of the first page.. Thank you who ever made it, its perfect.
I am still bothered with this barcode, or code in general theory.
As you can see the "code" appears to be inside the cockpit. Why? Why would an highly advanced alien life form use our helmets visor to reflect a "code" on it.
Its gotta be a reflection form our visors. There is nothing else there.
If they alien is advanced enough to beam a hologram, why would it do it inside our ships? Why not just beam that hologram in space? Besides, if you move your head left and right, the "code" is shrinking. The only way you see it in its full glory, is if you look directly into the lasers. So, i am sorry guys, but im pretty sure this is just a reflection from your helmet visors.

Yep, I mentioned this a while back. It started when 2.2 first hit, at the same time that UP signal sources switched from Anomaly Detected to Degraded emissions. I speculated that the two changes might be somehow related (even though MB had already said the change in the SS type was nothing to get excited about).

Okay, we need the KRAIT to solve this riddle.
The KRAIT, the old KRAIT with pre 2b drives,
to jump into witch-space, getting lost there
to survey the area "between" the Pleiades
Good luck getting to the Pleiades with a 7ly jump range.
Did the original Kraits even have a hyperdrive?

It's an old idea. I've had this feeling for a while. I wrote about it in thread 8: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...8-The-Canonn?p=4465150&viewfull=1#post4465150
I called black and green Thargoids that time.

Well, the shell looks like a defensive sensor network or early warning system, and there should be a receiving station in merope of some kind (or perhaps, used to be) and we haven't found it yet. Maybe its hidden.
Oh i can tell you (and Riz) that it worked for me at my first encounter, but yesterday evening it disn't worked. Honked the free-floater UP and at second jump it catched me. Yesterday same procedure and nothing....
I think having a poke around merope and 5c is worth another look

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.... BACK TO RNG THEN!

I had zero faith in a "GET RICH QUICK" scheme but I had to test it anyways lolAaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.... BACK TO RNG THEN!
If you want RNG, imagine getting two free floaters as fast I did XD
Maybe I'll test a third time since I have a esports tornament to re-watch and I need something easy to do while i watch
Third times the charm!
oh and rizal
Tried honking the UP near the ship

This is quite interesting. They actually DO refill your fuel tank ( example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLltgH-VBQM ).
Can someone confirm / deny ?

I reckon this could be right, but it being right in reverse seems more likely to me as the body of the UA looks a lot more like human tech than the head of the UA or any of the UP. The lights on the UA body look like info displays/status readouts to me:
For me, it looks like this overall:
| Head | Body | Comms | Likely interpretation | |
| UA | Doesn't look like (our) human tech | Looks like it could be human tech | Human (Morse) | Belongs to Humans/beings of human heritage. Origins are blended human and non-human |
| UP | Doesn't look like (our) human tech | Doesn't look like (our) human tech | General (Octal) | Belongs to non-humans. Origins are non-human |
That's just how it looks subjectively to me though and of course they could both be all be human, all non-human (single species) or all non-human (multiple species).
Someone mentioned waaaaaaaaay back that they thought the light and tentacles came from an area just below the cockpit. I thought I'd post up an absolute confirmation of that observation.
Apologies for the lesser quality, the video is from Xbox, I downloaded it and split it apart frame-by-frame in Photoshop, and saved this one out in particular. I'm still combing it looking for the clearest image of the "barcode" as I can find.

I REALLY AGREE WITH THIS ^^^
Now these are starting to resemble real evidences
And, I did not honk at the UP yet, I was planning to do it next evening, so your tests are really welcome!
I'M PUTTING THESE FINDINGS ON THE FRONTPAGE so that we could have more confirmations (or not) about it
So honking a UP gives an instant interdiction. Yet me and many others have never been in contact let alone honked a UP.
It's all very strange. I thought yesterday that all the artefacts etc. Had no impact at all, it appears that I may have been wrong, if honking a UP gives an instant interdiction....
So they pump you full of "quirium" maybe?
...and they don't even buy you dinner first...

Just like humans have gone from morse to other forms of transmission, it wouldn't be that strange if alien species did the same. So the UA is the oldest version, which looked for a region of space that was interesting. When that was found, a more advanced version (UP) had been developed and it both transmits differenly and looks for a more specific site in that region. Not too farfetched imho
They clearly do in that video. In others, they don't.
