A SERIOUS REQUEST:

Someone needs to listen to the UA between it and Merope star.
Maybe the UA also sends out a narrow beam signal?
 
I suspect the extremely dificult AI with ridiculous weapons (beam rails, plasma mini gun) were actually the devs testing Thargoid AI in secret. You'll notice the AI in 2.1 (pre nerf) had insane handling. Coincidence? Maybe.
I thought the same. It was basically Thargoid A.I thermal overload was quite annoying.

[up] actually thought it would have been done already as (since a week or so) it is an obvious thing to test, but Ur right -
seems to have slipped under the carpet, THX for reminding
 
The probe home world is permit locked. [mad]

I've been looking into the headerless number: It is distance compared to Merope.

In Merope the number is 1.
...

Triangulating these values landed me in coordinates: (687.07, -362.18, -697.24).

The closest system to these coordinates is Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3 with coordinates: (687.0625, -362.53125, -697.0625).

This can be verified by calculating the expected distance and comparing that to the probe distance for different systems.

...
The full translated data set I gathered is available in the following address: http://jubjubnest.net/~wace/elite/
.
Impressive.
.
How accurate are the System coordinates in your file? Are this coordinates directly from the game/game log or are they themself calculated from gathered player data?
.
If I find time tomorrow and motivation then I will want to recalculate and see if I come to the same coordinates.
 
you can doit too getting a ua is easy nowdays youknow

I am 8000+ Ly away from the bubble and have very little game time hence the request... smartass.

Repeat:
Someone needs to test if the UA transmit a simular narrow band signal if you place a ship between the UA and Merope star.

My pleasure and thank you! I contribute as much as I can and at the moment I am no where near the bubble and have no game time :-(

Already been tested. UA does not emit any sounds like the UP does.

One CMDRs "confirmation" is not enough. Furthermore the CMDR doesn't describe where and how the UA was listened to thus my request still stands.

We need more independent tests to confirm things.

For science!

Player driven narrative, David Braben called it. How is it player driven, if it is a hide and seek, where the hiding spot does not exit until it fits the the PR strategy timing of FDev?

Yeah... I think that at times as well... although Jaques was found way before intended so I keep my hopes high =D
 
now that we've found the pointer to Col 70, they should definitely unlock it, or else what is the point? I think this will either happen on the 28th (the hunt), or when 2.2 drops. I'd say it will happen before then though.
 
Not realy. Wace triagulated a system in Col 70. Dommarraa checked that system EDSM and found that it had just been triagulated by Lucien.
Lucien had just recieved an an anonymous tip of.

Probably a FD leak or a hacker. Most likely a leak, because there is probably nothing there until 2.2.

As I said in my previous post, definitely a hacker.

Isn't that the same system Rizal was near in his up honk discovery vid? Coincidence? ;)

When I honked at the UA I was there because it's the biggest and most recent permitted area between Pleiades and Orion.

I don't think he was more than half way there, but it was the right direction. :)

Thought you could sneak that past us, eh Riz? You of all people should know how paranoid we are ;)

Oh well... :)

Well that's depressing.

I mean way to        up a puzzle.

Sincerely hope Frontier find a solution to this because a lot of people put a lot of time in, for people to undermine all that by pulling solutions from files...

The thing I enjoy most about these things is the hunting around, thinking about it and just generally engaging with the whole thing. I know people sometimes get frustrated but the long solution means loads of people can get involved, it doesn't matter that they don't solve it, the fun is in the doing.

I don't care if it takes a month to solve, that just means more people get involved.

Then like the other day, the discovery and by the time I get home from work all solved. I mean no chance to engage with it, what's the point.

As I have explained in my post, FDevs are very good at hiding things already.
It was impossible to solve the UP mystery just peeking at and inside game files. Impossible.

As someone with an ear to the ground, and utter lack of intelligence to do it myself, i speak with many people in this community who are much smarter and more capable at game files stuff than i am. Believe me when i say many people across many groups have known about the importance of this system for months, they just didnt know why. That leak could have been anyone.

However, Wace was the only person to come right out and prove it's importance properly. It's funny, all the game files in the world and people still can't solve it. Once again innocence and smarts win out over hacking.


When you're as active as I am in this community you meet a lot of interesting people. What else can I say, I can barely handle a reddit stylesheet.

EXACTLY this!
I agree completely.

PS
I knew about that system recently, like Derthek did, and I kept it for myself. Because I love riddles, and the way we solved it, was AWESOME and clean.
Wace triangulation method was poetry in my ears. Math's poetry.

usually if U ask someone to do something, the result is anybody does noting :) but i m with U, myself some +15KLY corewards on the "Explorer-Hadj" to Sag A,
hence only able to contribute on an impracticaple way.....
 
So sorry if this is late, but so it's all in one place, here is a quick summary of the codes that have been cracked:

Source of first leaked (technically second) binary message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zflPK3LATCc (@ ~1:25)

Second, (technically first) actually posted video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_H2Wn6WFOg

Some sort of "found footage" post attack of something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVPBlK3nX7Q&feature=youtu.be&t=4050
 
Do you think Barnacles could be the gills/sensory organ of a buried organism?

the only thing that we need now is a thargoid world engine (warhammer 40k planetsized wepon of mass destruction that can obliterate anything for any non warhammer 40k nerds this is an explanation )
 
awome, thx a lot commander.

Where as the last sentence, besides from beeing taken literally where i should point to a black hole with accretion disc/jet or neutron-star/pulsar,
also could be interpreted as sum´s radiation, in that case would be spectral class A of B as they are in the greenish part of spectrum
(those who dont believe in the effect, take a picture of a human, and throttle down R & B channel by 40% - u get a lot of frogs:)

take a human, throttle it, you get a lot of croaking
