Anyone on to this?

Binary to text just creates a bunch of nonsense. The long code at the top - the key?

This many crashed ships... possible but how come all of a sudden we find them on the surface and go back a year and oh yeah they hadnt been put in. Storyboards are supposed to evolve on new content, not old content thats been reworked. Anyway i think these are terraforming ships that have found a suitable world and are in the process of being broken down for building materials for a colony. If not why are we seeing barnacle growths and eggs on the ground. These scavenger ships maybe scavenging parts to seed new structures. Crashed base ships tend to leave more of a splat and less of a spiral in the formation of the ground. These honestly look like they have been injected into the surface of the planetoid and are slowly coming to the surface to seed, the outcrop nodes which are gassing also are kind of a giveaway too plus the green haze often reported on the surface. If i was a thargoid and i met a hostile species i would be erecting FOB's.

Why do people keep calling them ships.

I don't think they are eggs - I think they are balls of pus! Similar to what we humans get, especially if we catch certain viruses or infections and explode in a rash, popping our spots! Hence why they explode when you drive over them

Saw this on reddit a while ago. It was already solved elsewhere.

https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/6kf6o4/so_drew_wagar_dropped_this_code/

I'm gathering it's what lead to the Salome's Requiem audio logs.

Its that or they are very mature barnacles which have grown to this. How else are you going to transport assets across space. fire it in a projectile and hope it lands on a planet intact?!?!?

exactly my thoughts as well, we don't know what these things at all, they could be literally anything....

 

[LordZoltan]

Haha indeed I've been back in circulation for some time......however I pretty much just sit in the council chamber being fed grapes, reading reports and talking to the council . I do however venture out in public when its justified......you know for important things.......... like your return for example.

You're simply far too kind

I'm just glad to be able to tag along again - and get that enjoyment both from ED itself but from this excellent community that's gathered around that near-mythical first post of yours

Looks like they already solved this in the rift forum. It leads to some Salome voice logs at a medical centre I think?

Already solved. Check reddit. Salomés message thing

its very sad that the message played was cryptic in its self, there was no mention of what the threat was only who knew about it. Sorry as far story conclusions go it sucks big time. Salome deserved the get the axe, having a story as bad that it no wonder 99% of the galaxy wanted her gone.

Ok thanks, not going there then since I haven't started reading Premonition! 07

Maybe it's time to revisit the old "UA's are von Neumann probes" Theory?

It's kind of annoying that you have to have the right signal to activate the UL.
That means you have to follow the entire trail meaning there is no hope of catching the trailblazers.

Well, yes and no.

From what I see, all the sites are in the shell, and close to amonia life giants. It could be worth picking potential systems with :

distance to merope from 125 to 150 lyr, has anomia life giant and low # moons. => get a new "seed" to go faster with the trail.

Funny... im gonna say something and its gonna remind me of my old self... why state it being a ship as a fact?

If we're Lucky, it's bases. If we're unlucky those things are ships.

I was going for worst case scenario ^^

 

[LordZoltan]

Well.. on earth it took fungi some time to evolve the ability to break down wood. That's one of the reasons for coal and oil deposits. Fallen trees would not decay but simply stay around until they where buried and the material would naturally separate over millions of years.

It took roughly 30 years for a bacteria to be able to digest Nylon. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon-eating_bacteria)

What i'm trying to say is, Plastic eating Fungi are not completely impossible.

As long as a microorganism has both a use for the material, and a way to break it down you could argue that even metal eating germs are as likely as ammonia based space bugs

Just because it was something utterly fascinating that I learnt a couple weeks back - it turns out fungi have also evolved to act as messengers between trees - connecting root systems to root systems, allowing trees to exchange nutrients and even information about disease and other threats.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/earth/story/20141111-plants-have-a-hidden-internet

So, yeah: fungi are properly amazing organisms, and plastic or metal-eating is entirely possible.

 

[Unbreakable]

Well the simple question to that is do we have any Bio tech in our ships? if not then its not a virus.
The damaged human ships have blast/impact damage don't look like some sort of flesh/hull eating virus.

Highly corrosive Acid perhaps, the kind that eats through metal. Perhaps it is a chemical reaction to something in thargoid ship weapons, with the right elements you can really f some s up, chemistry is awesome!

 

[Rubbernuke]

Halomonas titanicae bacteria super engineered and spat at ships.

 

[MadDogMurdock]

Given that I'm back waiting for an RNG UP drop for the second time today you'll forgive my annoyance.
Interesting puzzle design this might be, but engaging gameplay less so.

I guess I could stalk Discord or continually monitor this thread looking for decoded sounds and then try and catch up with the relevant systems but way too much of this is out of game.

As has no doubt been mentioned before, see also the death of the Liberator.
