Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 10 - The Canonn

[MadDogMurdock]

If i understand this correctly its something like this:

-You get Messages from Site 1. You play them to UL
-Ul Reponds with a Narrow beam transmission which contain coordinates or the location of a system
-You go to that System and play the Message from Site 1 again to the UL
-The UL now Points to Site 2 in the new System

That sounds more loke it.
What's the wizardry to decode the coordinates?

It makes perfect sense to me. Thanks, my brain was melting...
Perfect for the Front Page

The wizardry is on the FrontPage, UL spoiler....

Oh wait.

Mel 22 sector NX-U D2-31 3A is the other site

I'm there, been eyeballing for a few hours the south pole crater, has it been found yet? Hard to track with so much going on.

 

[CookieJarviz]

So once we find all the sites. Then what? Wait for 2.4?

 

[CMDR Ofan]

if we don't already I have a response in D2-31 A pointing at the ammonia gas giants moon, will resolve as I get closer

The Feds will come and place Farraguts over them so we'll be toootally safe! Right guys?

 

[Makaan]

I hope there's more to it than that...

 

[rizal72]

So it seems we are just doing it in a random/wrong order, in the sense that we are finding sites even before the UL tells us where to look for them.... without it.

 

[CMDR Ofan]

redacted.

Lol typo 3 A

[Starke Hathaway]

Dammit you guys, I've got work to do today!

 

[Factabulous]

NEW SITEEE !!!
Mel 22 Sector nx_u D2-27 5 A

-39.8 -56.2

EDIT : Found by Cmdr OhBelgium and me

we use the laser pointed by unknown link while playing the First unknow signal (in the list) from HIP 14909

Congrats! Designated as Site #6 (see sig) - tell me if I've missed an announcement! Also can people say of the sites are active/special or not [up]

 

[Neakas]

So from each site you get the location of 3 other sites right?

So it is. So you have to have good ears and a Trig PhD

It seems that now it is better to explore in solo. Some just shot my ship while in scarab. And yesterday someone destroyed from another player. I was lucky to dismiss my ship before exploring the site.

Not in eddb. My data is half a year old (i am currently updating) and this was the very only system in eddb database that matches. All other systems have belts, rings, more or less planets.

How can i decide from the name if 2 planets are binary or planet+moon?

Ciao, Udo

I love how people assume that everyone uses eddb, which needs edmc to populate, which I and many, many others wouldn't touch with a barge pole. And there couldn't possibly be any other systems in the game

Mel 22 sector ZU-P C5-1 & Mel 22 sector NX-U D2-31

UA spawn rate in ZU-P C5-1 are insane, found several in decaying orbits as well.

Interesting. I will go there and see if I can pick up some more. Perhaps the spawn rate has been shifted in the game so the old places are more rare and these have become a higher rate? That could explain why it's been so dry in the Pleiades Sector.

It needs to be done! FOR THE FEDERATION! xD

Were you in a non-PvP PG when this happened? Because that player needs banning if so, so please report them.

Well, EDDiscovery also sends data to EDDN (which is where EDDB gets its body data from).

Either way though, as you note it'd be very lucky indeed for the data to be present in EDDB - it'd require every body in the system to have been actively scanned by someone using EDDiscovery or similar.
Considering that Mel 22 Sector NX-U d2-31 (the system itself) wasn't even in EDSM until a few hours ago...
