Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

Michael

So basically you are saying that all visual, audio, and whatnot are designed to be different for in game reasons? Not just "lets do this!" ?

 

[Julio Montega]

That too is deliberate

Michael

Would it be too deliberate to "compromise" a nav beacon,
attach a UA and UP, honk it until an alien spawns and then mass
lock it with cap ships?

So it is deliberate to look at a code?
That means that the rest speculated here,
like passenger missions to the contact site
and the "coincidence" of info on jump drives
is a hook that needs our leverage.

Additionally the surveys point to the 'dicts being random,
decoupled from UA/UP/UF presence on the CMDR,
with only the locations reported being of significance.

REQUEST FROM GYPSY

Hello there right honerable Canonneers.

A favour is asked:

Can one of you brave and foolhardy souls grab yerselves a Unknown Probe, get yourself Hyperdicted and then....

Deep breath... pause for dramatics...

Activate the probe on top of the Alien ships wake signal?

Ol' Gyp thinks this is a most excellent idea. Id do it myself but im danged if I can find myself one. Its karma for picking the first one up within two minutes...

Already done by my friend Malic on twitch with UA & UP next to the Wake , nothing happpend.

That would indicate to me that the "source" of the UA and the "source" of the UP are different. But similar.


Interesting!

 

[TheOneWithNoLife]

TheOneWithNoLife if it was reflecting of the helmet and not the ships cockpit glass explain this from Alec's post.

Explain what? The fact that the code hides when the projector is shadowed by the cockpit bar? Well If it was reflected by the glass that would not have happened, as the glass is still hit by the same light, but the helmet is behind the bar and the beam is blocked by it, thus hiding the "message".
And guys I'm not saying that there IS a message there, but there could be, so we should check it out.

We know the Thargoids have different sub-sets/species. Assuming of course that lore is still canon.

Or that they are from the same source, but one is more advanced than the other. Like a Telegraph and a Cell Phone.
(iirc MB has stated earlier that this presumption is testable)

 

[JesusRocks1988]

Thought this might be useful ...

That's helpful, except I think we need a still of it from this sequence - you've got it really clear here.

my bold
Is this a dumb question: does the UP also shut down a UA? If so, then it might be the more advanced of the two; if not, then the UA might be more advanced because it is resistant to it.

NOOoooooo

Blimey.

You're assuming the UAs were made by aliens. I think morse clearly points to human involvement of some kind. The pleiades are within plausible range for a generation ship, for examples. A lost colony could easily lose a lot of tech and jury rig stuff that came to hand, like weird alien things.

I don't buy that morse is a convenient device to let players solve it, I think we can give FD more credit than that, it'll be part of the plot somehow. And they don't appear to be broadcasting for our convenience if ofienting to Merope is any indication.

So humans jury rig it all to transmit details to a mysterious nothing in Merope that humans can't detect?

It's a game still, do remember that.

 

[NetSlayer]

The use of morse is deliberate.

Michael

I think it's because you can compare relative lengths of transmissions and account for shifting easily... rather than rely on 2 different frequencies?

Maybe someone a bit more fluent in physics can correct me >.<

Yeah, agreed, there are plenty of possible human/human heritage explanations. It's been confirmed that some of the Missing had FTL, the lore also had long distance jumps via wormholes, and time jumps happening in accidents with old hyperspace tech, etc.

 

[Julio Montega]

NOOoooooo

Blimey.

A theory disproven is a start for another theory:
The location is of significance,
not what the CMDR carries.

HAPPY NEW YEAR MIKE!

Something like this.

I think the UAs form a fence to stop the jellyfish ships from leaving the Pleiades. The UAs lurk half way in hyperspace and can snag them if they try to leave. The crash sites shows what happens when they do. The human ships were just caught in the balst, because the were hyperdicted while leaving the UA shell.
The UA messages, simply tells us that they know where they are and have scanned us. They don't care though. We are not the target.

UPs on the other hand, belongs to the jellyfish ships. They are looking for habitable planets in the direction of Col 70 sector. They are on the war path, but we are not the target.

It looks like a Thargoid on Thargoid conflict to me. Red vs Blue.

We are just in the way. They don't kill us, because we are dismantling the fence for them.

I REALLY AGREE WITH THIS ^^^

Just got a third confirmation that honking a UP then doing a direct jump from Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 8 to Merope gives instant Hyperdiction.
Just to add here:
Honk it while its free floating, then TAKE IT ON BOARD before the jump.

That's me, Two Quiet Suns and Spiridon so far.

Ironically, it didn't work with Rizal... (You did follow the instructions right Riz?)

Now these are starting to resemble real evidences
And, I did not honk at the UP yet, I was planning to do it next evening, so your tests are really welcome!
I'M PUTTING THESE FINDINGS ON THE FRONTPAGE so that we could have more confirmations (or not) about it

That would indicate to me that the "source" of the UA and the "source" of the UP are different. But similar.


Interesting!

Same to me.

We know the Thargoids have different sub-sets/species. Assuming of course that lore is still canon.

What is on Drew's Lore page is Canonn, and CASUALLY the Thargoid update was put back online on January 6th
And there he writes about two races at least: Oresians and Klaxians

Interesting!

I did say a long time ago, that I thought the UP was something that had been reverse engineered by humans from the UA and was trying to find the aliens. This was furthered when we discovered them near Ammonia Worlds, which humans know they live on (or at least their anatomy is based upon).

 

[Thatchinho]

Or that they are from the same source, but one is more advanced than the other. Like a Telegraph and a Cell Phone.

Could also be the same source/origin but one has been captured and hacked by a different party. UA body looks like different tech (metal/electronics) to UA head (Organic/Bioengineered). UPs body and head both look like the same tech.

Okay, we need the KRAIT to solve this riddle.
The KRAIT, the old KRAIT with pre 2b drives,
to jump into witch-space, getting lost there
to survey the area "between" the Pleiades

We all agree. FD is also onboard. Lets go!! But we need fighter-carriers to carry and restock the Kraits in Witchspace.... and supply missions to the carriers from normal space.

Let the WitchHunts begin!
