Hey @SlartyBartFast - didn't mean to ignore your post there - interesting leads you're pursuing indeed. Look forward to any further findings/thoughts - good luck on the science! :)

Thanks Zoltan and here is the next bit.

Be afraid be very afraid

From this.

we go to this
anaconda ouch.png

And that leads me to test out hard points and module locations and with the help of Cmdr Darwin ( thanking you very much ) i have found this.
we are so fked.jpg

now the 2nd pic down is hard to see and we were drifting rotating so that will need to be checked but i am confident what it shows in the other 2.
Also time to look at the other ships and pics.
I think this means war is on the horizon pardon the pun
EDIT i think it may be time to start killing these things force whoever is sending them out in the open.

Please ignore the attached pic not only should it not be there but it is also the wrong one lmao.

There! I think I may have said something about hardpoints at some time if I didn't the thought had crossed my mind..... however here's another interesting potential observation... isn't the Anaconda one of the few (if not only) ship that can display "visual damage"? how do those triangles and points stack up with the damage?

Im not sure about damage but Darwin did have 26 hardpoints and modules i have had a thought about seeing if the rest match up to anything on the pic, will have a go in the morrow.

Reason why I bring that up is because I thought I read that 1.5 ships will actually start showing ship's advanced functions visually like the damage in preparation for Horizons with its advanced modules (fighters, srv, etc).
 
just a thought out of the blue,, the letter bits that dont fit in the drawings,, not my thing and i dunno how it works tbh, but they are on locations of the ship?,
Do they match up with the positions of any hardpoints/modules or significant parts of those ships?
Like in the outfitting screen, each module when highlighted moves the camera to that part of the ship, do the red triangle bits on the drawings mark anywhere specific in realation to each ship?..
 
I have a request.

If anyone with a UHD monitor or VR is able to take readable screen shot of the system panels in the back of the cockpit (both sides) of the T6-9, I would be greatfull.

Tho solo screen shots I made are not good enough.

Did anybody get back to you about this i can knock off the T6 in vr for you if needed still, if not to much money then the rest as well, i have about 28m i think.
Though being on DK2 not sure about the quality, could also try and take it from the 2nd screen.

Thats a good point.

In hindsight there is one testable aspect of this hypothesis - about the spores attacking metals; I seem to remember Imperial ships are largely made of composites rather than metals so may not be as prone to damage- has anyone tested the rate of damage by ship type?
Imperial Clipper: 1-2% dmg to ship systems every 30s. This is the same as with other ships?
 
A massive welcome to any new threadnoughters, and to any who are returning!

The science is still flowing freely; just like the never-ending Tea urn that Dr Arc kindly invented for us, on Decks 1-10, 11-20, 21 and, it would appear, somewhat further outside the station...

Like a garnish, Canonn Membership is not obligatory at all - it just might enhance your experience ;)

@SlartyBartFast - I need to get in front of a screen to examine those pics more closely. You might have stumbled on something here, for sure ;)

I would still like the pics, if possible.

Brilliant work on the plot triangles. The module pointing triangles looks really promising.

This is part of the reason I'm interested in the pics. They are system schematics with some module identifiers. At least on the T6, the same identifiers are painted on the to of the hull.
 
@Slarty - ...oh, my. Sterling work, man, and the post itself was just superb, too. In a "here is a picture of what may very well be an axe flying at your face" sort of style, but in a good way. In a bad way. But again in a good way on top. o7


Just watched the Ed Ed. Really enjoyable.

Big thanks to you, Derthek and all the rest that participated. Plus Ed off course.
 
So,,,, https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/564dbc539657bacd1c4355aa

As the problems persist, reports of similar – and equally mysterious – issues have arrived from Hinz Hub in the Ngobe system, Tsunenaga Dock in the Iapodes system, and Li Qing Jao in Sol. Precise details are not available, but the problems are understood to be similar to those plaguing Warkushanui, 49 Arietis, 64 Arietis, and Varati.

Were any of those systems places you guys were bombing in secret with UA sales?

I'll be honest, mine isn't, but I never moved past 13 sales, due to doing the Nebula Station CGs and fighting the wars in my home.

I know pubilcly some people were selling in Sol. Ngobe and Iapodes I've not seen mentioned though.

Keep on Riz!

I'm wordless. Really.
You are all awesome guys, all of you, even the ones that prefer to be so "serious" and rude all the time ;)
Being one of the peaceful ones, I've always preferred irony and amusement over seriousness and rudeness. But I accept that we are not all the same.

There were countless subtle posts against me, since day one, but I decided to take it with irony. So perhaps I'll do that again this time as well.
I don't expect any apologies, because I already know there will not be any. But I really don't care.

I've received so many PMs and appreciation's posts all around I cannot leave you here alone. You know, it's a game, as someone here said cleverly. :D

So, ok, perhaps I'll reconsider.
Also because there is an incoming streaming no one can miss!

Thank you all guys and gals (Obsidian TM), from the bottom of my heart.

Free UA decodings for everyone!

I'm so glad you've reconsidered Riz! As a noob to both ED and the forum IMHO your contribution to this thread seems to me to have been most scientific (I was one), and has been extremely significant in making this what I think is the most enjoyable thread I've ever seen. I suspect some recent comments that upset you were typed in haste without thought, & I sincerely hope were just steam blowing and not intended personally at you. This is a great thread & you are one of the pioneers that are driving it. Keep on questioning, keep on theorising, keep on testing hypotheses, & keep on having & spreading the fun! Your contribution is very worthwhile. :)

Plus Ed of course, yes.
Thanks, Han.

Indeed, thanks to everybody who has kindly said I did well yesterday. But we all did. Eclipsed by Star Kittens or whatever it is? Feh. It was a pleasure to help represent The Canonn on Educating Ed. Instancing niggles? Yes. Felt a bit bad about having to work around Psycho and Ratty, not least because I had to think on my feet and - as you all know - I prefer leave my brain in lazy mode whenever possible. Similarly, though the Finale still got to work well enough, the other Councillors other than DelSpan. Moreso, though, thanks to Derthek and PsychoFish who were troopers in the prep. And, hey, wasn't Derthek THE MAN?

Best to mention while I'm waffling on the topic... Huros. I know you'll know it was an RP nod to your own RP but if I'd had any idea that you'd later not be joining in on vox as planned I'd not have gone with the whole "Rabid Xenophobe!" bit. Had been expecting to do the whole Introducing Canonn Members bit which would have been where I was going to touch on that again, giving you an 'in' for some sort of proper Lab69 spiel.

Still a rabid xenophobe, though. Just sayin'.
