Indeed there are octal characters (in the spectrogram). I sent a reply earlier with a screenshot showing the chars, but it's caught up in the moderation queue so not sure when it will appear...

I woudn't exactly call those "characters." I mean, yes, when you do a spectrogram of the signal you can see the difference between the high and low tones but that's kind of what a spectrogram is. The difference was clearly audible and the decryption of it was done by ear.
 
Have got to ask.

How many people have had All 4 Beacons active before (and for the entire Duration without reloading for a failed message) they have started scanning the Obelisks with Artifacts in their cargobay?
 
Somethings just changed for me. Iv been concentrating on 3 obelisks & going through each combination on each obelisk. Get no messages or message saying 2 items may be needed. Then after 9 sets of combination Im now just getting 'Data already accessed' on each obelisk no matter what combination I use.

That'll do for tonight now, I need to get my ship refueled. I'll return another day when it's less bugged.
 
Update: Just had the opportunity to re-check UP sawning at Pleiades IR-w d1-55 6

Followed my own guide :) https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/276077-UAs-Barnacles-and-other-mysteries-Thread-8-The-Canonn/page1231?p=4478415&viewfull=1#post4478415
first spawn after 8 minutes - degraded emissions threat 2 - got my UP !
BELAY THAT !!!!
Since todays server-restart I have checked IR-W, Km-W, Hip 20785 and RO-Q . spawn rate has decreased significantly to 0-6 spawns/hour and got zero Degraded emissions threat 2...
If some Cdrs. are in the area I would highly appreciate if they could cross-check

add: on my way to UA shell now to cross-check if changes here too....

So if you're in the business of analyzing audio, there are some strange noises being heard at the ruins site. Drifter and a couple others have confirmed their presence.
 
Nooooo!!!

I'd filled my data store and stupidly thought i could off load some to Ram Tah at Meene and return. Turns out it completes the mission for you. £7m for 7 pieces, but the mission vanishes!! AR$E!!! :mad:


That reminds me, I should clean out my data storage. Sorry for your luck.
 
Guys, I have just recieved Technological Data 7 AND 10 at once from Obelisk 15 with Orb + Urn. Has this happened before?
It can't be a delayed one, cause I made a break of 30 minutes right before this scan?
 
Also, since there are noticeably different obelisks glowing today for scan, I feel there might be a day of the week component to this...
 
I finally managed to decode 12 records from the alien ruins. At that point I completely lost track of what I already had and hadn't so I finished the mission rather than trying aimlessly from there. Judging by what I read in the records I truly think now that the alien ship harassing people in witch-space is indeed Guardian in origin and not Thargoid. We could never fight that ship if it can so easily knock out our power. I think they are here to protect us, and I think that by providing us with some of their technology. Sooner or later the engineers will be able to apply alien upgrades to our ships, which I think will mean much bigger jump distances, stronger weapons (but they would only be effective against Thargoids) etc. They do this before the Thargoids appear and attack everyone in sight. Well, that's my theory at least.

Well I''ve done every combination carefully...

U UU TT CC RR OO TotTot
T UT TC CR RO OTot
R UC TR CO RTot
C UO TO CTot
O UTot
Tot

Only had 13 data pieces. So I'm not sure how people have managed more... :/

Well, the pattern data from each obelisk can change each time you leave the instance, so perhaps the ancient items required to unlock the obelisk changes as well? If so, you'd never really be able to do comprehensive testing, you'd just have to brute force it until you finally get all 21.
 
Well thank you for your commiserations. There seems to be no post on the forum about it, so in the slim chance it'll regenerate (or something) I'm going back.

If not, well at least the ruins are cool!

For Science!
 
So far the standard 13 are:

Biology 7: U+R
Biology 9: U+C

History 8: C+U
History 10: C+U
History 11: C+Ta
History 12: C+O
History 14: C+R
History 15: C+To

Language 8: Ta+O/R?
Language 12: Ta+O/U?
Language 14: Ta+R

Technology 7: O+C/R?
Technology 10: O+U

These seem confirmed by multiple CMDRs, even if the obelisk changes, just use these combos on different obelisks to get the set. (ones with question marks are where there is some small discrepancy, possibly caused by the getting message by scanning your next obelisk bug)

In addition, mad_nox and DrifterBG (only) seem to have found another 12 records, but they did not record the combinations or whether they were able to confirm each others results.

I did Tech 7 with C+U
