Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

[gooddoc]

More entries are being discovered, but it seems no-one is publicly posting what artefacts are getting these new entries any more Science relies on sharing! (And so did the Guardians it seems! )

Quite right cmdr! Iv keyed in my route now to return to Meene...gonna have some tea, then if there's no more info coming through then Im gonna leave for a day or two.

 

[kalniel]

I made a quick recon and no obelisk has changed for me. Also the no-data combination are still no-data combination.

Can someone provide a map of "changed" obelisks?

As noted they are no longer changed for me, I only saw it just prior to the server restart so probably bad data.

Has anyone tried to scan the obelisk in wings?

I am sorry for not noticing this before, I can only assume it was during my hiatus from the game I note you say you've filled out a bug report, just to check (sorry), did they confirm it was a bug?

If I remember well, being in the exact hype of the discovery, even the support guys where hyped, and the reply I got was something like: "it could or not could be a bug..."

Sounds like a bug.

Michael

Thanks.

As everbody seems to be busy scanning the ruins, some may be interested in the Thargoid question still. Didn't meet any Thargoids ingame yet, but watched a lot of vids. Then I remembered the interdiction scene from the Gamescom interview, in particular the ending part which is also featured on page 1:

Spoiler

Now I wonder whether that's the same ship type that currently hyperdicts CMDRs at various places or possibly a different (aggressive, mind the combat aftermath) ship type even? It's hard to tell from the pic, but to me, even though it has the same basic patterns and structures, it looks somewhat different still, not so much petunia, but more praying mantis-like. Just a thought, but we could well be up for something even more challenging soon...

A breakthrough in faster-than-light communication was made before the arks reached their destinations, but the information was transmitted to the arks while they were still in transit, allowing the colonists to establish faster-than-light communications when they landed. Consequently the interstellar network was developed extremely quickly.

They met some-thing and learned to establish neural network communication (via symbiosis and telepathy).

Ram Tah was too long on Khun studying relics so high gravity influenced his grammar.
Btw, Ram Tah decided to relocate where (from Galnet), I forgot ...
Triangle structures are pointing toward obelisks...

I cannot investigate, but one place I would like to search, if there is some pressure plate, stones to shoot, or dust off:

@The Lawful: yap, that is a Thargoid (for me at least) His big petals are spinning counter-clockwise.

 

[Pallam93]

Yeah, everone has about 4 weeks.

Well, does the Ancient ruin shows in a right direction. As i see it could be possible that the ruin show directly to the other planet (must be A1 i think).
Just keep that in mind before we just searchin in the northern hemisphaere for the other ruin.

the problem is that in the same instance, at the same obelisk, the same combination will not work for different players. It's almost false information if we're saying here use this combination at this obelisk to get x data. it doesnt seem to work like that...

Don't know if this helps but I captured a screenshot earlier both of an eclipes of this moons moon and the primary planet rising.
What was awesome about it was the ring was flat and was just a line in the sky. This lead me down the rabit hole after many hours of thinking about some of the communications coming out that this is a star map.
The obelisks seem to indicate logical geometic shaps and. It also references the moon phases wanning and waxing.

My thoughts are the centre or the larger circle is the main body planet (SYNUEFE XR-H D11-102 1) the line is the ring around it on a which is the view we see form this moon. I believe this is a time that will point to where we need to go next.

I was pretty sure this was known behaviour (as Rizal has confirmed).

However, something I can't find a reference for which may be unknown, is that the UP narrow beam seems to transmit in both binary and octal (the same message - so it functions as a Rosetta stone for numbers). It's widely stated in forums that the UP transmits in octal, but I can't find any reference for the octal character set it uses. So perhaps when people say the UP transmits in octal do they mean it uses binary triplets? E.g. 010 111 001, rather than some alien looking character set?

Yes, the UP transmits octal numbers as binary triplets. And it's audible, so there are no characters at all.

 

[who?]

This kinda sounds suspiciously like a bug doesn't it? (introduced with the alien interdiction and/or 2.2.03).

Calling Michael Brookes! I appreciate you don't want to give too much away but could you post one knock to acknowledge you've read this, two if you'd rather not comment and three if it sounds like a bug to you.

Thanks!

It's a pity if that's indeed a bug - it sounds to me pretty cool.

We know a UA scans everything that approaches it.
We know a UP responds to scans with something similar to an EMP.

So it makes perfect sense to me that dropping both would lead to any nearby ship being zapped.

Has anyone tried to scan the obelisk in wings?

I was in a wing with one other guy last night. If we both had the same relics/tablets/etc. that matched the obelisk, we'd both get the research even if only one of us scanned it. If we didn't have the same relics/tablets it only worked for the person scanning.

The UP narrow beam has both binary "tuba" noises (when speeded up) and "data-chirpy" noises. The spectrogram of the data-chirpy noises contain octal characters which match the binary triplets:

this sounds intriguing

edit: also, this planet is tidal locked, isn't it? can't remember being dark in the ruins. all this looks a bit constructed, as in, could be a hint.

 

[mad_nox]

I'm up to twenty decoded data. though over half came to me as lagged messages while I was sitting in a ship or after a disconnect from server. its really hard to pinpoint what combination / obelisk

i'm pretty skeptical about the whole process anyhow because I found a data at a certain obelisk yesterday, told everyone in open what I used and sat there and 2 o3 three people tried, and for some the obelisk wasnt even glowing, others scanned it and got nothing with same cargo

 

[Sylon]

What do you mean by matched?

It seems to be close though - I certainly have got similar results to the results shared so far of the 13 that everyone apart from you and drifterBG have been able to find, just not on the same obelisks. No-one else has been able to confirm your results yet so it would seem like you've found a different combination than the ones listed in the shared spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...BLYiBrNov5onzI/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true#) so far.

 

[domel]

As for varying behaviour, I would kindly like to remind everyone that this technology is ANCIENT. No wonder it's malfunctioning

 

[Gurnea]

More obelisks seem to be coming alive on site. 2 instances in group with 3&4 and 1 instance in group with 1 & 2. Credit to CMDR O.J. Helo / CMDR SacoMato for finding them.
