Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
Game is crashing a lot in open play right now. We've been having soo much fun!

A lot of us are protecting the scientist there. Been good telling stories and joking around.

We had about 14 players theres. probably more.
 
Here are a few of my observations.
Over the past few days I have been providing defence for the hardworking CMDRS down below trying to figure this all out. I would like to mention before I delve deeper that in my cargo hold I have all currently known items that can be picked up from the site.

Continuing, whilst patrolling the skies keeping an ever watchful eye on the skies for potential griefers in their shiny imperial ships, I would gain mission critical messages I am assuming to to the fact I have the relevant items in my holds in conjunction to a scan from a commander on the surface. From being here a number of days, several instances and a varying number of players I have concluded that the amount of people (especially clustering close) seems to have an adverse effect on the frequency of data I would get..... this could be argued to be credible evidence to the proximity theory of the obelisks and the theory of the relics powering the obelisks. I would also like to note that during 12am -9am GMT when most people were either asleep, or to do with the current positioning of the cycle of the system, not much was happening in terms of the obelisks.

I would love to do more to help the progression of the scientific activities currently occurring at this site but I feel that I am of more use providing cover from the griefers.
Stay safe CMDRS, hopefully we cracking this soon.

Sorry, if this is known already:

We (three commanders) played in a group game. One Commander sat in his landed ship with all 6 items in the cargo hold. The other two commanders were scanning ...and the commander in the ship suddenly get data packages.

Is this a known bug or working as intended? The effect occurs with and without wing, It seems only occur when the scanners scan the right obeliscs. The scanners not necessarily get some packages, neither does the person in the ship ...but it occurs now and than. :)

Hard to say if it's intended, but yeah, that's how I got the majority of my data packages...

It's a bug working as intended.

Just kidding. Typical FDev oversight.

On a side note, I have a feeling this entire puzzle would be much easier with an in-game orrery. Perhaps one of the commanders familiar with Space Engine or Universe Sandbox would attempt to recreate the Synuefe system? If there are clues in the movement of the stellar bodies, this way it'd easier to analyze.

Actually I'm just enjoying pointing out the inconsistencies within a "It happened because I said so" statement from a third party.

You're a member of Canonn. Fantastic.

Question: If you've got hundreds of volunteers jumping at the chance to assist in your group's goal, is it beneficial or harmful to require membership for those volunteers to access information you've already gathered to avoid repetition?

What, do you think, is a reasonable amount of wasted man-hours that can be contributed to this lack of clear communication?

Is it then more or less efficient to expect everyone interested in the topic to request membership to this select group of people, thus burdening the administrative and training members with the influx of a large amount of new members; to spend your time as a member on the forums correcting people on mistakes that the group has already made after they themselves make them, or to publish a 2 paragraph google doc and post a link?

How much progress have you made completing Ram Tah's mission while replying to me?

If you have a room of 100 people, and 99 of them pass gas, which of the 99 guilty people in that room is supposed to raise their hand and claim responsibility? If I'm to judge by what you're currently doing, it's the one person in the corner who had nothing to do with the whole affair.

Is it becoming clearer now?

Im actually in work at the moment.

You do realize you are in the Canonn threadnaught dont you?

Secondly what data you want? Clearly only your own at the moment as thats all you have faith in. You dismissed a number of people who have advised they have be to the moon and searched.

Also where is your evidence? Your arguments are correct to the point that the information a i gave over to you is vague. However it was meant as a kindly gesture, in a clearly mis-guided attempt to help out. I don't personally like seeing people potentially waste time doing things that have already been done.

You may think you are belittling or picking out inconsistencies but all im doing is just saying look I know of people who have been out there, spent hours on the moon looking for stuff. Me included. Im really sorry we didn't keep you video or all the co-ordinates of where we searched. To be honest that likely is a flaw.

However my initial response to your post was. other than to help out, to also point out that you should not make the statement that I am the only person who has done a search of the moon (thorough or otherwise).

There are a number of things becoming clear.

But good luck Cmdr, i do hope you find something there if only to further the story...though i hope it gives you a boost too.
 
I have a theory why it's broken:

Scanning an obelisk is supposed to turn this one off, and turn on another.
-In solo this is broken and never happens
-In PG/open this works but it is only applied when you relog

If this is true here is what you have to do:
-start new instance
-scan the default 15 ones. (maybe with correct base item, so that you don't get an error)
-relog
-your progress will now apply turning on new obelisks
-continue to scan those new obelisks (maybe with correct base item, so that you don't get an error)
-relog
-progress applies again, continue...

Since every player has his own personal progress there are de-sync issues where some players see other obelisks as others. relogging and or time may re-synchronize different progress of different players (or not)
 
Here's some evidence:

1) Ram Tah hints at it
2) The Guardians are fond of triangles
3) The codices of the Synuefe site provide the 'middle' part of a set of data (i.e. Culture 7-13 out of 20 total)

An engineer will say that there's a 99.9% chance that there's a wall behind a house but without some other concrete proof won't say with absolute certainty.
 
We are also making a new mapping of E/H cluster using the "pregress-step" and "relog" trick, here is what we have so far:

If somebody could confirm this mapping or contradict it, that would be great.

as for 2)
in the data it's said that they are fond of geometric shapes, not triangles.
So circles, hexagons (the wall around the site), pyramids, quadrats or rectangles are nothing suspicious.

Also it must actually be 4 sites. The library (we are in) on their former home planet (which is a barren rock now) and the 3 Arks somewhere within let's say 200ly radius (no FTL travel).
They colonialized the next 3 (for them) habitable planets according to the data. So it makes sense to search not too far away.

whe havent found all the info yet we dont know if they developed FTL or not so could be more than 4 sites but 4 including hte currently is likely the minimum number of sites
 
These arks that they used, we don't think it has anything to do with DB at the launch stream I think or was it the fund raiser?? One of the 2. He was asked if any bigger ships would be appearing in game and he replied by saying, "take another look at the trailer". Maybe nothing to do with these "guardians", but still interesting

Also the debate about who's searced the moon at the ruins, I have and I'm pretty sure loads of other CMDRs have, I found some geysers, so that probably shows how much searching I've done, let alone others. If you want to go search it then go, if not no worries ;)

One thing you are forgetting is that electromagnetic radiation moves at the speed of light in a vacuum (think photons), and the speed of light is a universal constant therefore FTL communications would not be using electromagnetic waves.

Interesting. Any flickering/shining stars?

They did apparently:
Historical Data 13/21 said:
... The arks kept the population at a managable level long enough for the guardians to develop Hyperspace technology, which fuelled their expansion into the galaxy. ...
 
Argh! Login to Mobius, all the artefacts are leviating about 30m off the ground:

Login into Solo instance - just about to pick up an orb, server crashes.

This site is a buggy mess. Has anyone raise a bug in the bug report section of the forum?
 
I spent a few weekends pouring over these...somewhere way back in this thread...didnt seem to amount ot much.

thought i was getting somewhere with them but never figured it out. remember i was looking into them being hexadecimal. Seems there was some correlation with it however but didnt work out.

However feel free to retry.

Which we use represent binary data. What would it look like for Trinary?

Of which do you see the most on the site? Circles, quads, hexagons or...?

Le sigh... Let's just wait and see then ;)
