Sorry should be a quote here...ooops... was related to the pictures/glyphs
Dots and dashes... more morse?

Probably almost guaranteed they are not Thargoid.
We might need the Thargoids to help deal with this new... species. I was going to say "threat"... but that's a bit jumping the gun.
Maybe not shortcut it then, but sort the data first to provide a higher chance of primary path hit?

Primes - I'd use Primes.
Ah! I forgot to say.
Among the other dozen experiments I performed last night (!!!), I had the time to make a friendly chat with the UA as well, via COMMS:
but it didn't like Fibonacci, neither in numbers than in MORSE. Shame.
Primes will be my next try
Is it me or the hologram of the ship does weird things?
The glyphs are on the UA.
Done it again... drat sorry, that was a reply to someone repeatedly asking where the glyphs were. I don't have pic to hand to post though, but I'm sure there's one at the start of the thread.

Whilst it is no reason not to experiment or theorize (that would be un-scientific), I still think the glyphs on the UA's are nice textures and nothing more. It seems like aliens counting the number of heat vents on one of our ships or ascribing value to there position and orientation. Or thinking the engines are in fact part of our language.

Regarding the potential numbers in the Glyphs, this is how NASA explains our number system to the galaxy:
| and - are used as 1 and 0 in binaries.
Sorry if I wee on your strawberries a little, bit you did ask for some maths. For language or even information, you need complexity. The Glyphs are symmetrical on the vertical axis, which all on its own is enough for a linguist to put away his note book and pour himself a beer, its just not likely to be complex enough. Then, depending on how you read it, you have just 5 symbols with 4 unique to work with, or 10 symbols but only 3 unique. Thats not enough data to store anything meaningful or not enough data to be able to prove any cypher, and again, not complex enough. At this point, the said linguist will hand you one of these...
NB : I am NOT asking you to stop discussing or investigating the symbols in any manner you feel interesting - Its just narrative
Coding that numerically : Someone may well have already posted some of this, but reading from the bottom up, you get.
00 55 07 77 55 (base 8)
00 45 07 63 45 (base 10) or even 11,829,229 as a single number
It should be morse due to the audio, it looks like morse, but isnt:
TT RR TS SS RR
It does not increase in complexity as you go up. The 6 dots is less complex than the previous symbol of line and 3 dots
To me, it isnt encoded information, but it MIGHT mean something. Please do continue your investigations
Having Dommarraa very recently demonstrated that the T6 produces the Station's MORSE as well, the power of 7 is no more.
We have the power of T right now
Au contraire, I think DB pretty much confirmed that the UAs are Thargoid related. He was asked for one word on Thargoids and he started talking about the decoding of the ship images:

Apologies for the misinformation. It was toooo early in the morning and I have not yet had any biscuits... Plus I only got to watch the first half last night...
Talking of Biscuits: have you seen what Tesco are selling? 0.o
The size of that thing...!

Is a normal one, held by a midget
First thing I did was thinking about asking if anyone had tried approaching a UA with one of those in the cargo hold.
Second thing was trying to find a hidden message in the surface extrusions of the biscuit.
I really need to take a break from this thread.
Hello SpacePandaRawr,
your UA is happily drawing your ship as usual.
Would be nice to test the Adder and a deployed UA close to a station now, Weyn Dock in 64 Arietis should be perfect for that, and it should be close to where you find them.
Seriously... That's too coincidental for me.
I find it very hard to believe that these references to 7s, Moby , Pleiades, these bacteriophages etc are not deliberate.
What they mean, I don't know, other than to provide a nice bunch of extra layers to the mystery. Because if you roll it back and analyse the links, it's all very human in origin. So might just be a way of enhancing the wider mythology.
Bit stunned with this recent scanning behaviour development, though. Fantastic work.
So of I understand - you drop from a T6/7 outside a station, it doesn't do the ship model vector Morse, but the station name. Dbx, as per Riz's multi-ship test, still did the ship vector regardless.
So if it were a (code) bug, then I wouldn't expect it to be different based on the ship - there's got to be something more to it. That list of ships that become 'invisible' near a station is looking quite important! Hopefully it'll be possible to identify some commonality between them. It's not by manufacturer, surely, since the DBx is lakon, the same as the transporters.
If mass, then logically the t9 and the Conda should also be invisible.
Very curious.
If the T6/7 didnt have a ship image, then it would make perfect sense. No Image ? Go to Default behaviour. However, they do, it seems that only at a station does the behaviour change for a limited number of ships. Not making any sense to me yet.
I'll try the test inside the drop zone of a near planet next evening (12am here now): let's see if the UA will spell the Planet's name as well
Or if someone wants to do it now, it'd be nice... be sure to let your ship be as close as possible to the planet: hitting the dropzone will suffice.
