I can confirm that the UL points to the Large Wreck in the system. I tried it with a friend one side of the moon in the Mel 22 Sector system, then supercruised to the other side of the moon and tried it again - it reoriented itself and its pointer to the moon. I'm on Xbox so it'll take a bit for the screenshots and videos to upload, but there we have it. It's a Large Wreck Locator.

HOWEVER! How does this even begin to be useful if you need to play the sound from the wreck in the system to activate it? I mean, that means you've already found the wreck in the system, so why would you need it pointing out again?

THIS ! There must be more.
 
Now this is a FACT, my dear Dreamstate, my young Scientist Padawan, and how true sciencing is done.

You made an amazing work here, take the honours you deserve.

THE UL WORKS ON HIS OWN THEN, NO NEED TO CARRY UA AND UP TO ACTIVATE IT.

Maybe, but the way the +, triangle, and hexagon symbols change when you target the UL and the fact that they self-arrange suggests a specific function for using them together.

Derp! Can you tell I don't wing much!

A word of warning - don't honk. The UP pulse pushes the UL and UA away.

Hang on.

So the UL will do a laser to the site of the structure/ship the audio is played for it. If it is in the wrong system, you get some information to triangulate where to go in the octal? Based off Merope?
 
Great work!

Two questions:
Does the beam affect the wreck site while it is active?
Has the machine in the center to be activated, while the beam is active?

o7 CMDRs

That wont work because you would be in a different instance

This guy sums up the UL. Yeah It does not make any sense lol

ALSO! The Unknown items don't need to have gone through the machine first, Dreamstate says the UL works on its own, but before we knew this, I tried with a free floating UA to go with my UL and UP, and got it to point.

My original video shows me playing the msg frm Mel 22 Sector in HIP 14909, and it still points to the moon. I think EACH message has ONE specific system/site to it. That would make at least 4 to be discovered (we got 2 active). No idea if non-active sites work as well yet.

What audio? Where do you get it from?
 
best fit for me :

mel 22 sector NX-U D2-31 :

reference :

18/125
0.14125.43
31/1000
0.0327
945/1000
0.95823.11

target calculated distances :

125.64
27.15
823.34


That's close. Should be possible to calculate the 'in system' distance and direction needed to get an exact match.

Thargoids don't arrive at the main star. ;)
 
Wait a tic. We got 3 audio files from the first base right? Each one, through your incredible deduction, sent us to 3 different systems. Why not check each system using the UL and then play each file? The 3 files may give us the systems and then, when played for the UL, point to the source.
.
Or am I crossing streams?
 
Woderful!

So, the UL is a tool to find planets with Settlements, and each settlement has his own sound that activates the UL.
Have you tried doing it with the UL alone? I mean, perhaps it works even without UA and UP?
next step would be repeating this in wing with wingmate sitting in the Nav-Room to look if something happens there :)
 
Well perhaps one of those signals might yield a wreck 'the like of which we have never seen before' (or since yesterday) that we'd normally have no hope of finding ;)

Maybe, clearly more testing required. The fact that the device gives out 3 unknown signals is maybe helpful.
Maybe they are for 3 different sites, so each active site potentially helps you find 2 more sites.

Once again, I'm repeating my request for bigger CrCrs. I even posted a News article for Palin announcing the fact that he had them ;)

The only way it would be useful is if you can play any of the signals to it, and have it point to the wreck. We need to try this in the other 2 candidate systems from the UL chirruping.

Maybe the beam is not a simple laser but another kind of energy beam (neutrino or whatever) that goes THROUGH the site(s). Someone would have to be in the opposite UL - site - orbit. Just an idea......
 
Ok this seems old news but can confirm once UL has gone through the unknown device and has been calibrated it does indeed point.

Guess this lays to rest any doubts about that map being our galaxy.

ALmost at a proof positive stage now for it being a beacon system for thargs to find their bases......which used to be crashed motherships probably immediately post war.

Is all of this a really alien distress call by the goids to other goids?
