Well, we do have a precedent for this as the other data that the UP transmits (not in the spectrogram) uses Merope 5C as its reference point. And then there's the COL 70 system which is used as the reference point for distance(?) or something.



The UA was also confirmed to be able to transmit location data over vast distances in a Galnet about 20 months ago. The logical conclusion for the target of this transmission was Merope - because it points there.

However - you have to wonder whether neither the UA nor the UP are actually sending their data anywhere perhaps (just broadcasting it and we're intercepting it) - and that it's the UL that does that. That would, however, completely contradict this earlier Galnet linked above - so... none the wiser really.

Also, just on the first point, as I read it very recently and to save anyone having to look it up; one of the pieces of info the UP measures/provides is distance from Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3. The unit of distance used is the distance from Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3 to Merope. 1 UPDistance = 871ly approx.
 
Heck for all we know we are just activating a homing beacon for the rest of the goids

Give us a bunch of buttons to push, and...

It will all be our fault in the end.

Here's my theory on the spectrogram: http://imgur.com/a/iVFwN

Could it be depicting an attack? The symbols for UA / UP sent to two different systems (Merope and ??) which generate ships or other weapons - the newly discovered double-ended UA in HIP 14909 sent to the target - potentially Sol or another core world. Does the system on the right match any system where one of these bases has been located?

My first Guess was, that the Top System is The Thargoid Homeworld. Because the "Send Waves" point to it and the Flower Ships are on the Left and Right of it.

Edit: Could be either i guess..

After a quick restart, can confirm that my UPs have just outright stopped working. UA + UL is fine. UP + UL is a nope. UP on its own is also a nope! They still do the EMP thing but no howls or lights on them.

looks like it was inspecting you or the one part of the structure. Definitely interesting, what were you doing before it came in? need to look for trigger sequence to get them to come in

It wasnt me im sorry top say i was watching Malic stream, he was in solo, and he had just actiavted teh map thing and then picked up the UP and UL and was just about to leave the planet, when he got outside that happened

I think rather than homeworld the top and bottom symbols refer to space in general. Maybe ours and theirs, or normal and witch. I say this because otherwise the lower symbol also has to mean a planet if the top one does, but that makes no sense because the UA does not scan planets but both UA and UP scan things in volumes of space, ships, planets, systems etc.

Perhaps it's just like all the barnacle sites but it's just triggered to scan the player that leaves? Intersting
 
Here is the live video feed of activating the Alien Console

There really needs to be a way to get a Guaranteed UP - I was going to make a clean video of the steps for the new base but can I find another one?.... sheesh :(

It's a bit too RNG if you ask me. I just now finally got one, 3 and half hours later. I think I memorized the planet just from staring at it so long.
 
I've found two systems that are equidistant to the 3 candidate systems (Merope, HIP 14909 and Col 70 Sector FY-N c21-3) that, between them, are 3 and 2 units (~748,39ly) apart.

LY Aurigae (2U)
Swoilz FA-A b59-0 (3U)

Another set of candidates are (the unit, in this case, is ~227ly):
Synuefe TV-X b20-0 (2U)
Synuefe BU-X b47-4 (3U)

This is a stab in the dark - if anyone thinks it's three different base systems and also thinks that the curves over the systems and above the lower circle means think it means distances drop me a line and I'll crunch the numbers really quick.

Yup. Spent an hour myself and gave up to just go get a UL and explore the alien site.

Really need a better mechanism than "Sit around and hope for the best" to find USS like this. Have it randomly generate, but have a way to engage the game and find it. Had four USS, none of them Threat 2 degraded. On that note, since it's 2:46am and I'm getting up at 6:30am...

apparently that's not a world where UP spawn, try one from the list
What list?

That's right - but I had hoped they'd had gone forward not THAT clumsy gabbling all around the whole time so that noone can understand a thing. All in all it seemed and sounded not very..... scientific :) . At least they didn't shoot......


My thoughts exactly! Way too much chatter on the stream, very difficult to follow any line of thought, looked altogether unprofessional.
Don't get me wrong guys, I think what you do is fascinating, but a little more order and less faffing about would have made my 1st Canonn livestream experience so much better.
Call this constructive critisism ;)
