Also the homeworld has a moon. It might be multiple of course, but it sounds like just one.

Yes, But it's not much help. Hence I don't think we were supposed to solve the location of the homeworld/other sites from these message contents; so it's back to the glyphs, or the site geometry, or the braille idea, or perhaps (since it was you that mentioned and provided close up pix of the relic!) did you notice one of your relic pix shows some triangular glyphs inside the relic? That seems suggestive to me.

Being a tad on thick side I had to consult Prof. Google re pareidolia.




Pareidolia (/pærᵻˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a stimulus (an image or a sound) wherein the mind perceives a familiar pattern of something where none actually exists.


Forgive me if I don't wait up.

BTW - I had a dream about Thargoids a week or so back... does that count as science research ?

No, that is the result of using Google. When you have spent a year or so trying to decipher the FD puzzles then you will dream of them everynight (also in frequent daydreams) and then awake..
Screaming!

See my thread on the Guardians (did some art for it); https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...Elves-AKA-The-Guardians?p=5019696#post5019696

I hypothesized that they may be red-skinned because of the prey they hunted on their northern continent. Red vegetation/flowers -> northern herbivores/omnivores (turn red) -> carnivores (the Guardians). Could be something to do with the sun, but without some type of Melanin to block the sun, they'd fry like us.

Bu then you have to say what resulted in red vegetation; must be something to do with the local star type(s) & atmospheric effect. But still don't think its anywhere near enough to help us find any of the other sites

I have been concerned about this as I am sure everyone is, just how small things look, like a speck on the planets surface, near impossible to see with the eye in many cases.
However I only recently noticed something with the radar when searching planets.

Maybe this is already known, our eyes are not the only tool we have to find poi.
The radar picks up poi (blue circles) as you fly across the surface of a planet, but I noticed they only show up on the radar when at a height of about 4km,
if I dropped below this height to around 3km or 2km the blue poi circle disappeared.

When I increased height again to 4km the blue circle reappeared on the radar.
I know fly across the surface of a planet at only 4km height with radar set to maximum range,
I am finding poi far more often now, without seeing them with my eye's on the surface.

There are a few Youtube videos about how to find poi easily, I found one by Cmdr Vindicator Jones that helped me enormously. Recommend you check it out. Think it's titled something like "how to make millions" & is about skimmer massacre missions, but the technique applies to any poi

You put "O's" instead of zeros on the end "0's" of two of them. No matter found them :D
Click to expand...

Pleased you found them anyway......well the sceptic in me thinks that if they are not the same systems as the originator's new entries then this in all probability is not something to pursue.

If they had been the same named systems, then fantastic, but sadly not........

I would expect a Galnet message or similar clue from the CG, not suspected new bookmarks, but at least it gave us some food for thought :)

I understand that. Hence why I said the star has to be of a higher frequency in order to allow the red reflection of light off of leaves and or organic materials possible.

The easiest way to understand it is this. All light can be reflected refracted absorbed or emitted. Only light that is being emitted is moving at the speed of light. Everything else has interacted with atoms/particles of some kind, so now they move slower.

Red light moves slower after it has been reflected or refracted. The only true source of red light traveling at the speed of light has to be emitted from its source as red light. Otherwise it is slower moving. Since almost all sources of natural light in the entirety of our Universe comes from the fusion of materials in a star, then almost all stars output at least some white light. White light is comprised of every wavelength of the color spectrum. It contains light both above infrared and below ultraviolet. This is basic color theory and spectrum analysis we had this in physics class in middle school.

I know exactly what I had said I understand exactly how it works. You just provided me a paper to a link explaining how light interacts with atoms in an object. In order for light to interact with an atom the atom will either absorb all the light or reflect/refract some of the light. Which slows it down and changes the color that our eyes perceive.

Color is not real its the result of how eyes intemperate light waves bouncing off of surfaces. It is the perception of the human mind and a construct we adapted to make us better hunters. I highly doubt anything not of this planet will see anything in the same color or way that human eyes do. They for example may have evolved around a F class star or an A class star. So their eyes are tuned to a different spectrum of visible light. That is assuming that they even have eyes in the traditional sense.

We know the guardians do because the obelisks specifically say the color red. So they have similar eye structure to ours. Which means the will need to be located around an F or A class star at best.

Woah woah woah, sorry mate but this stuff about only emitted light travelling at the speed of light is completely wrong. The speed of light in a vacuum has got nothing to do with the source of the light.

Good info, though alas anything of real interest does not show as a POI on the scanner.

Unfortunately mine do not seem to be the same things as you have but ill list them anyway,

HIP 32662 (populated with a few landable planets)
PLEIADES SECTOR JC-U B3-2 1 (landable high metal content potato planet that I haven't even been close to the system to get the data)
PHUA AUB FG-Y G7 ( in the center of the galaxy, I've never been further that 1500ly outside the bubble and this system has no interesting data about it either)
PHUA AUB KW-K C22-1354 (same situation as previous)

------EDIT-----------
HIP 43123 has also popped up, no system data
Click to expand...

Not sure about the other sites, but PLEIADES SECTOR JC-U B3-2 1 is one of the most well known barnacle sites after Merope, sure you didn't bookmark it back then?

No time now. Will report later tonight and post a master key in 4 hours.
So show some courtesy if You cannot show respect.
You have no chance if You dont have Pareidolia.

This city is a huge galaxy map. Huge!



Edit: I am not talking about obelisks. I do not touch them.

still waiting your "master key" lol. Btw Im glad to bring new words on the forum :D

speaking of FD, I think they will not drop the hint till the weekly update, no matter if cg finished early. Then we'll see if was us not smart enough or totally unsolvable by ourselves.

I think the problem is how good the community is...

I'm sure the ruins are a puzzle that lead to another site, the CG is FDev intervening into the lack of progress because people have become frustrated and we don't seem to have solved it.

You can't really blame them for making harder and harder puzzles, when you get a guy finding a needle in a haystack from a trailer video showing a moon and some stars its pretty ridiculous. Its not unrealistic for them to expect us to do it again which is why its probably taken them so long to launch the CG. Not blaming him in any way but XDeath finding this site from rudimentry triangulation is what give FDev the message that we don't need better tools or easier puzzles.
Make the puzzles too easy and its solved 20mins after the first person finds it, how is that interesting for anyone except the quickest there? I'm sure its not easy to balance the difficulty down to a specific time to complete.

Sure there are a lot of bugs and they seem to have lazily used missions that were designed for a different stage of the chain without changing the text, but sometimes we are our own worse enemies by solving the puzzles via either brilliance or brute force.

Add to that the lack of ANY comment(s) made by FD staff on this stage of the storyline. We've had one maybe two comments made about open being bugged, solo as intended.
In the past there was regular comments from FD staff when we were unravelling part of the storyline.
FD have adopted a definite 'no pointers this time' stance to see how we manage it.

Crackpot theory alert - maybe all the random bookmarks people are getting are part of the monolith network. Everyone is just getting a few of them and we need to complete the jigsaw....

Ok, yeah, I know, in reality it's a bug! :)

A bug infested crackpot theory, its better than having no additional sites ( but yes i admit it looks like a dead end) one of them is the alien crash site

Slightly OT but id like to see another CG take its place today, can be totally unrelated but Fdev should get in a good pattern of having one at all times ( sans minus colonia of course)

My interest only got peaked when the Hyperdictions started. And because of that I've spent the last two weeks reading ALL the cannon threads. They were amazing to read, they stirred my curiosity even more and I was tempted to jump to the end and read the latest discoveries that had been figured out. Only to discover a tonne of hard work appears, presently to have been for naught. I hope that is not the case. Even as a bystander that's done nothing to move anything along, it's been an engaging read, long may that continue.

I sure hope that the CG isn't going to tell you what you've been trying to find out for months. That'd be a huge spoiler.

WOW.
If what you say is true, and you really read all the 9 threads entirely, you really earned your BADGE. :D

Micheal brookes has said it from the start of the latest chapter so yes seems they are playing it totally tight to their chest - a low key expanding search of landables in nearby systems could bea good start until something happens

looking at the formidine rift thread, it would seem the alien hyperdictions were happening out in the rift when the dynasty expedition went out. And they were carrying "artifacts", perhaps artifacts from maia which the military had but no one else at the time in lore. So it attracted the thargoids there, which means we need explorers heading into deep space to take 1x UA and 1x UP and take them all over the galaxy in a resistant rack to see if the thargoids are active elsewhere as far as hyperdictions

I suppose it is possible but I never had the interest to go to any other barnacles besides merope 5c. You're probably right though

It was an enjoyable read, just like a good book I couldn't put it down. Admittedly I read this thread first and once I'd finished that I started from scratch, to get all the background information.
