Nice work Bioann!

I tested HIP 14909 initially but only with the 3rd set and it did not work - set 1 definitely does.

Thanks !
For the 2nd set i have the coordinates -61.56886 -269.52429 -370.6098
But it did'nt seem to match with a system. i will investigate.

EDIT : In fact Mel 22 sector NX-U D2-31 match prety close

we have : Mel 22 sector ZU-P C5-1
I will try to locate the other set as soon as possible.
Fly safe

I'm there now because I was close and right off the bat I got an Unknown Artefact orbiting one of the planets...

What are you using the calculate the result? I'm not having much luck with pen and paper...
 
Can any one confirm actualy getting hold of a UP today from the know amonia worlds.. cus this has become painfull.. like after two hours paint would be dry.. but im still looking for a UP!

Nope...nothing. Orbited HIP 20785 5 so many times I reversed the planet's orbit. :mad:

Nope, giving up for now and going off to check the new megaship logs instead. Very frustrating, and I can't even tell if I'm doing it incorrectly or not.

Does anyone have a confirmed location for a UP that they've found today? I've had no luck whatsoever.


to all: in the latest Elite Dangerou svideo released by Obsidian Ant he tells you exactly how to get a UP. if you don't get the proper USs spawn after 20 to 40 minutes, jump to the closest system and jump back. try again and it should spawn soon. if it still doesn't spawn. just rinse and repeat. good luck!


onto something else (as of now I am on page 166, so a lot of pages to go) I am currently at the 'live' aliens structure site on xbox but have not seen any CMDR's yet (i'm in open) since I have no acces to Palin and his CRCR's yet i was wondering if some Xbox cmdr's decide to get into the structure i could tag along and help out where needed. i would love to see the star map, and its violent reaction to a unknown aritfact with my own eyes.

Fly safe!
 
Are you kidding? :).
Have you followed the recent discoveries?

UA acting as a key to enter the Thargoid structure?

UA depicted in the Thargoid DEVICE spectrogram together with UP and UL?

and yet you think UA is human made? Well... what do you need more? ;)

I need it to stop talking morse. It's like you woke up and your goldfish is lecturing you in Latin, claiming that it is just a goldfish.

I just checked Mel 22 sector NX-U D2-31, but didn't see much of interest. There's a gas giant with ammonia-based life and 4 landable moons, but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary during a quick flyby.

in fact i use Blender an open source 3D software and i simply make sphere with the same coordinates as the systems and the radius as the distance between the origin and the target
EDIT : but that's not as precise as i want it.

Still not sure what to do right now... I tried a few systems around Merope in case there were any that resembled the symbols, but came up empty. Found that station in Celaeno... a large wing of Elite ships wanted to see what the inside of my ship looked like. There are a number of scannable satellites there, which yield engineer-useable scan data. I also scanned the station itself, with similar results. Dropped a UP there, honked, played a couple of Device recordings, but nothing happened. DEcided it would be prudent to leave as those elite ships were getting closer...

Not sure if linked to all this though.

I've been using a spreadsheet I found with some math, and got Mel 22 Sector XU-F b11-0 for set 1 - but the UA spawn rate and planets in the one you found are definitely remarkable.
 
Mel 22 Sector ZU-P C5-1 planet 3 is remarkable. It's a ringed landable worked, tidally locked, 4.71 earth masses and 2.14G - massive. I've had 4 UAs spawn in 10 minutes in supercruise around it. Flying over the surface but nothing else yet.

Hmm, no UAs for me yet, and I've been around it for about 20 minutes now.
 
Nice work Bioann!

I tested HIP 14909 initially but only with the 3rd set and it did not work - set 1 definitely does.

It somewhat works with the last one as well. The problem is the middle one as I was searching the galaxy map (or whatever exists in edsm) for suitable planets, HIP 14909 kept popping up as a candidate for both the first and last bits of coordinates. However I couldn't find a system that would fit the middle bits of coordinates. The best I could come up with is:

(The percentage is the error as a percentage of the Col70-Merope distance)

Code:
First group: Mel 22 Sector ZU-P c5-1
------------------------------------
Merope:     136.580083 (-0.02%)
HIP 14909:   26.941161 (-0.007%)
Col 70:     836.592905 (+0.05%)


Second group: Mel 22 Sector NX-U d2-33
--------------------------------------
Merope:     127.697097 (+0.2%)
HIP 14909:   28.109822 (+0.1%)
Col70:      825.827712 (+0.3%)


Third group: Mel 22 Sector NX-U d2-27
-------------------------------------
Merope:     131.181898 (-0.04%)
HIP 14909:   34.739277 (-0.01%)
Col70:      816.147941 (+0.0004%)

The 0.1-0.3 % error doesn't seem that high until you consider the fact that the Link is able to specify coordinates within 1/1000th (0.1%) of Col70-Merope distance - thus the error should never be larger than +/- 0.05%.

If the probe was measuring distances from Mel 22 d2-33, this would result in the following fractions:

Code:
Merope:    127.697097 / 871.018424 = 0.1466 = 147 / 1000, actual 144 / 1000 (represented as 18 / 125)
HIP 14909:  28.109822 / 871.018424 = 0.0323 =  32 / 1000, actual  31 / 1000
Col70:     825.827713 / 871.018424 = 0.9481 = 948 / 1000, actual 945 / 1000 (represented as 189 / 200)

Don't suppose there exists an unmapped system within couple of light years from d2-33?
 
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.

To recap :
Asuming that the second system for the coordinates is the one at the origin of the unknown link ( HIP 14909 )


We have,
Set 1 : Mel 22 sector ZU-P C5-1
Set 2 : Mel 22 sector NX-U D2-31 this one don't match perfectly with the coordinates i've found but when you check the distance with merope Col and hip 14909 it's very very close
EDIT : Set 3 :in fact Mel 22 Sector NX-U d2-27 is closer than HIP 15668

FYI : I used Blender (an open source 3D software) to calculate the coordinates )
Sorry for bad english, i come from a planet where we talk an other language.
