Just was looking at obsidian orbital on the gal map about to plot a route. Firstly Maia in the system description states - "Many strange artefacts have been found in this region of space". Have any artefacts been found in Maia actually?

Secondly, obsidian orbital states its economy as "high tech and unknown economy". Is this a normal economy type as I have never noticed it anywhere else?

Sorry if these have been mentioned before but I only just noticed and thought I would ask here about it.

Sounds like it might be a good idea to search Maia for UPs.

Worth a shot right? I have seen a new signal source I never saw before today there, "Combat aftermath". Lots of mats and a really cool DBX wreck with some great thermal looking damage, but that was it so far. Might spend some time there myself just checking out signal sources since I'm in the area.

Actually sorry atebits I cant actually get to merope just now, real life beckons. Children have blocked the toilet. Joys of fatherhood. What toy did they decide to flush? Finally a mystery I can solve! I will let you all know if I find thargoids but in my opinion if they are down there they can bloody well stay.

In RL the biowaste missions don't pay sh**

Btw, BluWolve, thank you for the offer of the twitch video.

I'd accept, but right now I'm definitely in an information purge. I'd not sending you on anything useful. ... And that heat damage is creepy!
 
Something I also put in the Canonn Discord: So we're a bit bogged down with the UP audio image. I thought I'd throw this in here for your consideration. It's the old Sun Microsystems logo. Note you can read it from any angle 'Sun' and that there isn't actually an 'S' anywhere. Sometimes we need to take a little step back in order to gain some perspective. It wouldn't surprise me to find FDev have been a lot sneakier than we give them credit for.

I have no argument for the 'over/under thinking the problem' debate.
I do think we needs to try and find a fresh perspective though :)



 
Just a thought based on the news feeds that was supposed to help find Jaques. One entry says "Logs storing key location data." This then goes on about how they sing and find you. Has anyone analysed the song from scanning different UP's? Are they all the same or are we assuming they are and not checking? Sorry if this has been answered already. Nightshifts are leaving me a bit wooly headed.

Uhm, not too far fetched I'd say. The only way to decode the message that way is if you already know how to decode it... so it's possible. My bet is FDev has hints in almost every not procedurally created article out there, but we don't notice them, because we don't know the answer.

Do we know a system that goes by a name like this in or near the pleiades or in another nearby nebula?

Also could be something like

Or it's hidden in the phonetics! "PR5 row 2 seats 5 & 6" ... can sombeody come up with some system?

Simples theory mk2

I have been thinking a little more on my Simples theory, & realised I had not explained my reasoning clearly. I think the glyphs on the left and right hand sides are spurious because I think they are deliberately obscured by noise that we cannot remove, hence they're FD window dressing. The right side is not echoing because it is not consistent across the whole frequency range.

so after further thought I have a slight revision, since I think the glyphs around the circle are dual-purpose. Firstly they represent Pi to show us to use a logarithmic vertical scale to properly show the circle. Secondly they show the sequence of actions to be taken:

1) approach Merope 5C and travel to the centre of the small crater within the largest crater (UP points there & that's the only obvious landmark, the small circle is slightly offset from the centre of the larger)
2) land there, or at least drop out of orbital glide
3) trigger the UP song
4) stand back & watch the doors open

Can you have a short at reformatting your post? Is not easy to read.

Might need to use English (proper :p ) spelling of colour.
 
Hello everyone again,

I spent quite a few hours doing fresh audio recordings of the Unknown Probe in various locations last night. I will be exporting and uploading all my audio for everyone to download shortly.

BUT FIRST!
I made a discovery last night. It seems that the Unknown Probe gets triggered in the presence of an Unknown Artefact that has received a signal from a Discovery Scanner.

The procedure is as follow:
1) Find a free floating Unknown Artefact (haven't tried with a scooped artefact, my hold was already full with two probes).
2) Use the (Advanced) Discovery Scanner around the Unknown Artefact.
3) Release the Unknown Probe.

The Unknown Probe will then release the EMP, reproducing the same effect as the regular EMP (disabling the HUD), however no audio is heard inside the ship. I have tried it several times, and no audio ever came through that way. I have tried a few different ways to trigger the EMP again, but it seems that the Unknown Artefact relays the signal of the Discovery Scanner to the Unknown Probe whenever it shows up (though quite poorly since no audio is heard). Scooping and releasing the Unknown Probe again does not trigger the effect, meaning you need to use the discovery scanner and then release the probe.

I have tried to use the discovery scanner then release the probe without the presence of an artefact, and the effect did not come up. Is this a bug, or a real discovery? Watch the video and decide!

I have also uploaded 10 minutes of the Unknown Probe on the surface of Merope 5 C. It seems to sing rapidly on the surface, "crying" every 50 seconds or so. I also recorded the free floating Unknown Artefact for 10 minutes after an Unknown Probe has been triggered close to it. Both videos below:

Enjoy!

I think you need to this by merope 5c .

Yes please @ CMDR JLnx!

Also remember that using custom colour can lead to some people not being able to read what you write. Especially those who have set up a white background here. ;)

Could you explain a bit more what cypher you used to get BARNARD out of it?
Step by Step please, so everyone can follow.

Really I have a day off due to a migraine and I come back and we're still talking about Ice Hockey tickets...

Where did I put that darken room...
 
Yes, I have been working on this line of thinking for the past week. The main questions I have are as follows.

1) If the answer to the puzzle is a set of spherical coordinates, then to what do we align the unit vectors, and why?

In a previous post I explored the possibility that the unit vectors are aligned relative to certain stellar objects as seen from the south pole of Merope 5C. The two lower-left marker lines align with the large and small Magellanic clouds. The double-arc symbol puts the twin-ringed Merope 5 in the upper-right quadrant. The long arc on the left could align with the nebula in the upper-left quadrant. That would put the top of the diagram pointing south away from the galactic center.

But the question then becomes, what exact spherical coordinates are represented by the diagram? And do they point somewhere on the surface of 5C, or somewhere in the UA shell, or what?

2) If the answer is not a set of spherical coordinates, why'd they put a diagram with coordinate lines and X, Y, and Z axes in the center of the puzzle? LOL.

I think we have all data in the diagram to find coordinates. Someone find there is hint to Pi (3,14), can't find post now.

What we must to know to find x,y? The first we need to read simple article in http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcIII/SphericalCoords.aspx and confirm that we have all data in puzzle to find x,y according to formulas.

And now we must check http://i.imgur.com/Xh7f7a5.png (this is not true degrees picture, this is just average degrees) for available measures. Problem is that we dont know where we need to place starting point, I mean 0'. For example, let's say that is diagram created by human for humans :) And 0 must be up (N), and 90 to the right rotation.

I can't do it by self because Im dumb, and maybe someone calculated all possible values :)

Maybe someone should load as many UA as possible into a very long range jumping Anaconda with FSD boost and see what happens?
- Or maybe honk them with a UP?

I'm doing this right now. I have 8 UA's onboard (Lost two to the malfunction of my cargo hatch). Right now I'm 1k ly from the bubble and moving further. I'll try to grab some materials to be able to synthesize an FSD boost.
I wasn't able to get any UP's unfortunately. I managed to locate one Convoy carrying it but I wasn't able to retrieve it :/ (Ross 47 : Planet A 8 A - Private group in wing with my friend)
