Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 10 - The Canonn

Here's a list of things I've done with the UL in space:

Honking the UL does nothing.
Honking the UL whilst glowing does nothing.
Honking the UP near the UL does nothing but cause the UL to be blasted away.
UL mimics the UA/UP howls and changes a blue colour.
UA and UP out the same time as the UL does nothing, UL just mimics the calls.
UL doesn't point at Merope.
Not possible to test if UL points at Col 70 system, the system is unselectable in the Galaxy Map.

Test Clips/Pictures:

UL mimicking UA/AP

UL doesn't point to Merope

(Remember, the UL supposedly points between it's two 'branch' bits where the 'radio dish' is)

Edit:

Arrows to show which direction I believe it's pointing


Good job CMDR!
 
The voice is that of an experienced space pilot.. in fear and panic ... I can almost smell the adrenaline ...... the radio message is full of static

His message reads..



..Command ... Recon 6 .. Target ... being followed ..its catching up with me ...we can't avoid it ... at Pleiades Sector OS-U c2-7 .... I repeat site is awake ! ... Command come in !

Nope, still inactive.
 
Given how they seem to cultivate barnacles for their own purposes, I wouldn't be surprised if the egg sacs were merely another source to be cultivated. Perhaps for proteins to repair the ship.
 
Have you tried going to a point or system between the one the UA is pointing to, and the one the UP is pointing to? seems logical from the picture. Take the UL to a point between the UP and UA Systems, and use it to triangulate the Thargoid Homeworld.

Also the recent discovery of the Alien Sites interacting with such hostility towards the Guardian Relics almost lends credibility to my wild theory that the Thargoids are a bio weapon created by the Guardians.

Come to my thread :D see sig.

Update to the UL pointy thingy!

Here's the best I could do in the time I have with some dodgy arrows to show which way the 'dish' is pointing. Not sure if the dish indicates which way it is facing or not so I'm going off that assumption for now. Depending on which way the 'pointy bit' is, it could be pointing in that general direction although the dish bit seems to point elsewhere!

Here's an Imgur gallery ft. two of the closest systems I could get inline:

UL TEST GALLERY

I can take some better shots later once I have a bit more time on my hands! :D

+1 Well done - looks like we have confirmed the target system then
 
Ok well if this was an stroid belt the why the arc? why not a ring looks more like the path of a comet or something.

It would just conveniently fit in with the asteroid belt in Merope, as others already suggested. Could be they used an arc because otherwise it could be mistaken for an orbit line?

Just to note the UP sonogram contains a similar symbol on the top left quadrant, but may have a different meaning there.

Yo,
[noob]

Useful. Good work, out of rep, looking forward to any more you're able to do later :)
 
Er, did you look at the images? They don't show the UL consistently pointing at anything.
Yeah, it's a bit hard to tell which way it's pointing. If it's pointing in the direction of the dish, then it's pointing nowhere near COL 70, yesterday I gave it a few nudges as best as I can and it seemed to reorient itself like the UAs and UPs do.

I could do with maybe another two or three results to try and confirm my theory cause I could be wrong.

You know how science works! You have to repeat the tests several times in order to get valid results! ;)

Edit:

Mentioned it yesterday several times but my UPs have outright stopped working since that one video of the UL responding to it, still does the EMP thing but it makes no noises or lights up ever since I scooped it up, probably bugged and I'll need to pick another one up!

A question that I don't think has been asked- have you flown around the UL to see if you can detect any signal? That was how the UP tight beam transmission was found. Might help decide where it's pointing

Should have added that to the list actually! Will do that now, thanks!

I blocked the dish section and moved across that axis of the UL, didn't pick up anything even when the UL was glowing and making the mimicking noise!

Argh realy need to check every system with the FP [haha][big grin]

Btw found the Listening Posts by setting the economic filter in the Galmap to show just Military Systems because i found some similarities in all being military and have an Outpost like this:

So i guess since there is a "Zeta" at least one is missing?

Alpha, beta, gamma, delta, zeta if I remmber the sequence correctly so you're missing beta & delta

Erm yes the UL is pointing in the direction of the well known permit locked system


Can you provide Images of this please. I have not heard that it pointed to them. In fact I had seen pictures where it was pointed in completely the opposite direction.

Really?

So... Does that mean the Flower vessels pulling us out of Hyperspace are "Thargons"? Would be shocking to learn if they are (and it isn't the Scavengers), haha! :D

It wouldn't be that shocking if they were Thargons at all...because they *ARE*! I'm 95% sure that that fact was stated by one of the Devs at Lavecon last week.
 
Both the UP and UA point to Merope (5c) and Merope .

The Col 70 sector system is only apprent as a reference in the first bloc of the UP transmission.

Which brings the old question back : what is on merope 5c ?

Has anyone bothered to check Merope 5C since the new patch? Perhaps more answers can be found there now. Also have you tried seeing if the link points to that permit locked HIP sector everyone thought had the caves on it?
