Guyyyyyyyssss. We finally get a new toy, and you're gonna break it!!!

I prefer to think of it as... stress testing.

Absolutely this.

Octal it was with the UP transmission, and Octal it is now. 8 is the Thargoid number for everything, we have to accept it as almost a fact now.
8 sides, 8 legged/armed ships, 8 fingers and so on. Have you see their logo on the spectrogram right?

And have you seen that huge Tome about Thargoids on David Braben's desk?

I've seen all the spectrograpms that have been discovered, I think. Which logo do you mean?

Also, no! I must have missed it! I remember hearing him talk about it, though!

4 hours of circling ammonia worlds and still no UP....getting fed up now

Just repeating this method, has worked twice for me so far:

Pleiades sector kc-u b3-1 , planet 8

Fly into the frame of reference (where the planet shows as your current location), slow down a bit an loop round until a USS appears

If it is not Degraded Signal source (threat 2) then head away from planet into Deep Space, and repeat.

I think leaving the planet's frame of reference resets the RNG roll. First attempt got one after 5 or so tries, second attempt got it after 2 tries.

Theories on having to be at a set distantce seem to be bunk - first spawned at 28Mm, 2nd at 13Mm.

Hope that helps, although maybe I'm just lucky.

Spent the evening collecing UA/UP just to have the unknown links not spawning.
Put both the UA and UP in the device of course, so when I relog, they are lost

No sciencing for me I guess.

You know, the logs say the Guardians had 8 fingers...

That looks better.

If it follows the 'old' system from the UP, we are looking for something relatively close to Merope.

If 1 is still the distance between Merope and Col 70 Sector FY-N c21-3 Then the first number gives the distance to Merope and the third to Col 70 Sector FY-N c21-3.

Second number is tricky though.

It can't be something too esoteric, we likely have to be able to measure it using the galmap and our squishy thinking apparatus.

Your line of experimentation is brilliant. Are you planning to cycle through 3 of each item, then mix and match them afterwards? I would imagine that it's just Guardian tech that matters, and not necessarily the order it's in.

The Rebel Alliance wouldn't have stood a chance if they were presented with something like this as the plans to the Death Star.

That's the plan

Site got bugged as we were trying the 3 Tablets, but we're confident that the same would happen.

We're going to try this next:

1x Urn
1x Casket
1x Totem

Reason being all 3 of those are religious/spiritual items.

1x Relic
1x Orb
1x Tablet

These aren't religious/spiritual items, so could yield different results

Who knows, perhaps they need to be used in correct combination?

We'll post results soon

Presumably their bioweapons (goids) would have inherited that counting propensity too then?

Now we really need CMDR Muetdhiver, fast PM him!

Well, I just hope we solve whatever it is we're solving before the scavengers fix the ships and they all take off... :O

If you scan the device it will drop the UA and UP so you can recover them, just a heads up.

it looked like only two urns went into the machine though?

We think it bugged, as the "tendrils" were there, so it probably still assumed the item was in it.

Ok - so here's what I get:

Set 1 (old)
Distance Merope: 136.749
Distance ???: 27.001
Distance Col 70: 836.16

Set 2 (mid)
Distance Merope: 125.424
Distance ???: 27.001
Col 70: 823.095

Set 3 (new)
Distance Merope: 131.521
Distance ???: 34.84
Distance Col 70: 816.127

Using 871 as the distance from Merope to Col 70.

I wouldn't be surprised, should the fed-a-renos turn up with a housewarming gift of a megaton or two of ordnance, somewhere along the line, too...

Until R2-D2 wakes up from his(?) beauty sleep and apparently, while in sleep, figured out that the puzzle piece some stranger brought fits perfectly into the bigger picture of the galaxy in the spot that says "it goes here", and everyone is so amazed.

Triangles though, can we pythagoras them somehow maybe to give a rotational angle away from merope? Well not pyth but work out the angles?

Could the second number be the perpendicular distance to the direct line between Merope and Col 70 Sector FY-N c21-3?

Sorry for not checking. I'm on phone only and will be for days.

CMDR Dreamstate · Jun 28, 2017

New combination tried:

Urn, Totem, Casket

Same result, Galaxy Chamber blows!

Am I the only one who believes the entire device is a forge and that laser beam is capable of embed or activate one of the other devices?

I'm here

Was planing on sciencing stuff but got buggered.

If one can hand me a set of recordings I'll gladly chew them up tomorrow,
I have a day off with some free time. I have still all my notes from the UP,
so it should be rather easy.
