So basically this is a race of which nerd has the most time on his or her hands and the fastest ship with resistant cargo racks, and the rest of us might as well not bother with the UL etc and just follow them as they're posted on here........
 
I can confirm!
The 3 new sound files from Mel 22 sector NX-U D2-31 3A do not triangulate or point to the same base in the same system - it is for others.
Great job CMDR !
I hope it won't end with just finding a ton of the same motherships. One should be unique. Like fully functional and floating in space [yesnod]
 
The thing about this whole process that is nagging at me is, why the curved lines coming from Merope and the (suggested) Col 70 system pointing to the area at the top? The process we go through doesn't have anything to do with those two systems, yet if you follow the spectrogram as though it is a set of instructions, it would imply that you need to do something from Merope and Col 70, no?

I take that to mean signals being sent there. The whole process seems to indicate signals going bottom up.. so from some location on a planet... via Merope and the other system(s) up to another point on a planet... with ships monitoring the final location.

That right there tells me that if this is true we're going to have a welcoming party whenever we get to wherever that planet is.
 
Just got home from work and caught up with the thread. Now that Mel 22 Sector NX-U d2-31 exists in EDSM I checked the candidates again and it's as good a match as the other ones, replacing the old Mel 22 Sector NX-U d2-33, which I felt was too far away from the expected distances to be reliable match. This doesn't really provide anything new to the discussion as the base on d2-31 was already found.

Code:
Mel 22 Sector ZU-P c5-1
------------------------------------------
Merope:            136.58 Ly (+0.019 %)
HIP 14909:          26.94 Ly (+0.007 %)
Col 70 FY-N c21-3: 836.59 Ly (-0.048 %)


Mel 22 Sector NX-U d2-31
------------------------------------------
Merope:            125.22 Ly (+0.024 %)
HIP 14909:          26.97 Ly (+0.003 %)
Col 70 FY-N c21-3: 823.40 Ly (-0.033 %)


Mel 22 Sector NX-U d2-27
------------------------------------------
Merope:            131.18 Ly (+0.039 %)
HIP 14909:          34.74 Ly (+0.012 %)
Col 70 FY-N c21-3: 816.15 Ly (-0.000 %)

Now what comes to the new audio entries...

Confirming: I just scanned the Galaxy Chamber at Mel 22 sector NX-U D2-31 3A | -51.8 -109.9 with the UL+UP+UA AND I recieved 3 new Audio entries... They sound the same as the previous 3...

The only difference I can see is that is says "Unknown Device in Mel 22 sector NX-U D2-31 system" in the text.

Edit; is it worth repeating the experiment with the UA+UL in space to see if there's anything new in the spectrograph when using these 3 new audio files?

My theory is that each one of these will yield a set of unique transmissions.

HIP 14909 transmission yielded distance using Merope, HIP 14909 and Col 70 as the reference and pointed towards the three Mel 22 Sector structures.
Mel 22 D2-31 will yield distances using Merope, Mel 22 D2-31 and Col 70 as the references and will point towards the two remaining Mel 22 Sector structures and the HIP 14909 structure.

Essentially I'd imagine it's a way of "If you found one, here's the coordinates to the other ones."

In any case I'd be interested to verify this theory.

So basically this is a race of which nerd has the most time on his or her hands and the fastest ship with resistant cargo racks, and the rest of us might as well not bother with the UL etc and just follow them as they're posted on here........

That's how science works. Though your free to follow the path for your own enjoyment, I always do. If you don't want to know the end, don't read here.

Think we need a table showing the 3 messages from each active site and where those 3 lead to, or this is gonna get very confusing if there are a lot of them. and we might miss a site or 2.

isnt that what all games are?

Just a thought but maybe HIP 14909 should be changed to the system where the Unknown Signal came from in order to decode the newer ones.

Maybe that's why the UL doesn't have a specific system layout associated with it in the spectrograph.

This is closer to what I was thinking.

Do we know for certain that we couldn't have found the others first though? Can only be a point of origin if you can be certain of that.
 
By the way, the Maia Herald had an article about a missing ship a few days ago, did anyone follow up on that. I meant to but just have not had too much time to mess around with stuff like that.

Yap it is relatetd to the Listening Post in HIP 16378 (you got a message from a Explorer to his wife, didnt have a screeni atm)

o7

Yep the explorer goes to check out a distress call, but IIRC whatever the next step is hasn't been found yet.
