Maybe they think Palin is a bug..?
Nope it was just tilting towards it when I approached, aimed at the base for the duration of my visit and as I flew away and got a fair distance away, it re-orientated itself to horizontal.
Hang on...
Shush now, you're spoiling my story
Well as long as their keep their attention away from me.

Calculator results
Looking at the log, the math finds the following intersections:
Code:
Intersecting spheres...
Found sphere intersection at [ -22.04685281 -275.78014072 -289.97641638]
Found sphere intersection at [ -3.73459769 -251.51251374 -265.14223108]The GI-R b37-1 candidate it finds is near the second intersection:
Code:
Synuefe GI-R b37-1: -11.46875, -252.46875, -263.6875Even if there is no other system near GI-R b37-1, it would be worth it to check the other coordinates as well: -22.0, -275.8, -290.0
On the other hand I also added an undocumented "edsm=1" switch which can be added to the URL. This makes the whole search slower but will query the results directly from EDSM so it might include certain systems which aren't cached on the calculator server. Using this switch yields HIP 14746 as the result, which is right on top of that second coordinate triplet as I suspected.
Calculator results, with &edsm=1
I believe this is the one you already found manually?

Has anyone tried to match up the pattern of the ones we have found to the star map in the structures with an overlay?
Yes, thanks
I'll try to search around that coordinates for the last site 19 signal, and i'm also just updated edsm with my ed discovery journal, hope it helps.
Sooooo....is this right, wrong or what. Really don't want to be sitting on the sidelines on this event.
Yeah, I'm with you. As I've been examining these places, my sense of foreboding increases. These things are going to come to life, and when they do...
Yes, thanks

It will help. Unfortunately the EDSM dumps are updated only once a night so it'll be a while before I get the option to update the cache.
Plus I've yet to figure out how I could incrementally update the whole thing instead of rebuilding it from scratch and taking the calculator offline for a while. I'd prefer to use mongoimport instead of building something myself but it has its limitations - if someone knows how to do incremental updates from full source material without unique keys, I'll be happy to hear it!

Is there any pattern to the type of star these are found in? At work for the next couple hours so I can't check myself at the moment. Just trying to get an idea of what I should focus on when I get home.
Play signal, listen to the audio and gather the difficult-to-hear binary triplets (they are easy to hear once you actually know what they sound like). Decode those triplets - you can use either of these two calculators:
- Olivia Vespera's
- Mine
In any case the triplets should point you to a system.
Then as far as I've understood, you go to the system and play the original signal that lead you there to the unknown link again and it'll point a laser to a planet. Some reports state that for the laser to work you'll need to drop one of each (UA, UP, UL) in space and wait for them to orient in triangle.
Single Link works fine, you do not need to drop UA and UP

Generate a key using an MD5 hash of the system name - deterministic and fast
Edit: Although, if the DB itself doesn't a key... well... colour me stumped.

hay.
I had a thought today. (it hurt)
what if the relics are a power source. And the machine is just purging excess energy.
I know it must have been tested by you guys but i plugged 3 in to see what would happen.
same result.
can't do math so can't join in. It was fun to try tho. keep up the good work guys.
I'm lurking with much interest.

That's the fun part. I tried creating unique index on both 'name' and 'id' field but this failed as the original data has duplicate values for these bits... I was very coloured when I found that out.
