Well I don't know about you guys but I'm going to hang it up for a bit. I skipped around different planets to see if something would catch my eye... nothing... zip

Just docked at Obsidian and I think I'll have a few drinks and get cracking on some overdue paperwork.

I think I'll be taking your place in the search then, I've left it for a day or so to do some other things but I feel an itching to get back to it, even if I think my time may be better spent looking for clues, I've been doing that on and off since I returned from the Pleiades and nothing has come to mind.
 
it's day 3 of my search for a distress call(believe it or not) i still havent found NONE...if someone found one and are willing to help me fiding a ship out of fuel but without pirates attacking , please let me know...
 
Maia and Pleione are NOT in the constellation. The only near system that forms part of it is 3: HR-W D1-42. The other one is 1: 71 PI Tauri.

Sorry to say that but, please, don´t make a wild guess, they don´t really help, although I appreciate the input.

WAYS TO HELP WITH THE CONSTELLATION THEORY:

-Take a photo of the same group of stars from a different system AND IDNTIFY AT LEAST ONE OF THE STARS.
-Identify any non identified star from the constellation.

I don´t mean to be rude, I swear, it's simply that any wild guesses will not help for that.

Let me rephrase it was an educated guess not a wild one.

Based on using the galaxy map and comparing with what I was seeing in the system to help identify the different stars. Wrote it down on paper as I was going back and forth. There was a reference I wasn't pulling names out of a hat. Best way to use the galaxy map is to turn everything off in terms of lables and icons then you can find your spot and rotate until you get what appears to be a match.

Also I tried searching for 71 PI Tauri .... it doesn't come up seems odd.
 
Binary to Text: 1µ¤©df6

That's real interesting. &# in unicode is a decimal indicator. &#169 means unicode character 169 decimal. And the semi-colon is a very common separator used in conjunction with unicode, such as in HTML

However, µ¤© comes out as µ¤© which doesn't make any sense...

Never mind. Looking back at it, I see now this was the poster attempting to print those ascii characters via their html unicode and not realising the forum had failed.
 
and if the first bit represents the signal (- or +) ?
1 for minus
0 for plus

Another thing, remember the "BROKEN" code decoded last thread and if:

B=0
R=1
O=2
K=3
E=4
N=5

a base-six code?

if you get a broken nav-beacon and modify the signal of the six letters to send a code base-six, you can transmit any message you want.

I've tried, but no pattern found.

example of a code as it should be:
KBKEOBKEERNOOKOBEBBBOOEOBBBBEEEEOEOBOEEO

swaping values:
3034203441522320400022420000444424202442

converting to base-hex:
57454152454e4f54414c4f4e45

converting to ascii:
WEARENOTALONE
 
This may have been brought up before but I'm only just getting into this mystery, so please excuse me if im out of place. But did anyone not notice they was no nebula backdrop and have a look at 0.24 on the horizons tralier. It clearly shows an outpost with Bardnards Loop which is (at a very quick glance) very vertical north and eastly from the Pleiades.

Oh! Then let me apologize for missunderstanding your message.

About the system, it's 71 Pi-Tauri, that's sure. Maybe I miss spelled the "-" or something like that.

It's alright I called it a guess because even though I was seeing what I thought was the right combination of stars, you have to be mindful that your mind may be looking for a pattern when there isn't one. HIP18502 does seem to feature ice moons orbiting a gas giant like the teaser and trailer do. This is definitely an interesting angle on the research.
 
Hi all,

Been mucking around for a few days and made this thing : http://lolcathost.co.uk/UAFiles

Only just got it up, it still needs some work the db isn't even indexed yet. It'll probably crash I bet when more than one person accesses it! Just wanted to get it up and have a break from doing it.

It works on Chrome, seems ok on Firefox, probably won't work on IE but I'm not too bothered about that. Probably won't work on mobile devices either, I have no idea.

It was just made for something to do really. It could be prettier, I'm no designer. =p

It's to help with the UA threads which seem to have ridiculous amounts of posts, it's an attempt to make the important bits more accessible.

Or for when there's something that happened 100 (or even 5) pages ago but you know it's gonna be a nightmare to find so don't bother and so can't dispute what someone is saying and so the cycle of repetition continues.

All it does is watch the UA threads and takes a copy of any post with an image, often that's the good stuff anyway.

It also tracks and keeps copies of posts from certain users, since people want to reference those often too. For now it's just MB and Kerrash.

Was in two minds about Kerrash because (no offense fella) he's not an employee and I think people tend to read too much into what he says anyway, but since people reference him a lot I've added him in so at least hopefully he will get misquoted less.

I've added all the 4 previous UA threads and this current one.

yes I know. But to my knowledge, nobody has made heads or tails of anything in the UA sound other than the "chittering." Since we seem to be getting precisely nowhere with the barnacle hunt, I needed something else to do, and thought there could be a clue in there somewhere.

A short pop up from Paris to warn you that your knowledge is wrong, sorry.
Long before the chittering was discovered, all the effort has been on the Purrs, that have been analyzed and studied in any way: binary, hex, octal, and vodoo as well. And not only in the first two threads, there even was an entire thread fully dedicated to binary decoding the purrs with no avail, until it died. Then came the chittering and the morse. But the purrs analysis went on as well. DEAD END.

That said no one will prevent you to do it all again, if tou like it ;)
 
For what it's worth, I can confirm free floating UAs in Hyades Sector HW-W c1-12, already first noted in the spreadsheet. I am taking one to Finlay-Freundlich Ring, an Anarchy scientific outpost under independent pirate control in the Harm system. Permission to, um, donate it to their markets for scientific purposes?

I have videotaped my basic observations of these things. Nudging them seems to show they then reorientate back to a Meropeward direction. Vessel damage is as expected.

OMG its Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.

Your joke + my ears had me thinking...

[ from your video, the sped-up tones ]

There are 4 pairs of sequences paired on harmonic intervals of I-IV.
The first scale (Ebmaj) has 2 sequences, as does the fourth (F#maj).
The second & third have one scale (Emaj) for 4 sequences.

The first initial pair is 6 notes; the second to the fourth are 7 notes each:

Eb Eb Bb Bb Eb Eb
> series 1 = 6 notes
Eb Bb Bb Eb Bb Eb

E B E B B E B
> series 2 = 7 notes
B B E B B E B

C F C F F F F
>series 3 = 7 notes
C C F F C F F

C# C# F# F# C# F# F#
>series 4 = 7 notes
F# F# C# C# F# C# F#

Here's a visualization of the scales on a staff:

So now... I think some more :D

Just a quick word of advice to those who 'play hard' like I used to be able to before, well, life...

8 hours of persistent POI searching/flying/SRVing etc is hardcore, but can be joyless if you don't get a result.

We can't expect to find this within a couple of days of the latest hint. Take a break - go back to the bubble, or pop to maia for some res hunting or something. Break up the monotony and you might be able to stay the distance longer!

We need lots of CMDRs doing this, not a few doing it for huge long stints at once!

That said - if you are one of those who just finds joy in meandering about and finding whatever you find, then hats off to you :)

O7
Yeaaaaa about that , I'm honestly exhausted because I scanned every system inside the nebula and now inside the bubble taking a break , I still want to go to the neutron field and explore to get my rank ; on the other side I wanna help with the barnacles :( , however I could travel to other nebulae while I'm my way to the neutron fields what should I do ? Any ideas ? Cause my brain is literally frozen

Back in the bubble, I happened to stop at the landable settlement in Ovid while its parent planet was passing between it and the star - this screenshot confirms that the fog effect, when present, can be seen in the dark.This confirms my first hypothesis: the "fog" of gaseous volatiles is caused by sunlight, and dissipates at night.

Next line of inquiry: Compare orbital/rotational period of various bodies to determine whether the gas lags behind daylight (indicating a relationship to thermal heating).

Might be worth it to look for places that are being eclipsed, to try to find fog in the dark.

Wild conjecture: I wonder if the Barnacles behave like flowers? Maybe they look like rocks until it's both gaseous and gloomy out...

Permission to sell in iapodes / ngalia (tall enterprise) is given to sell

Checked a few 135-149LY bubble systems for the unknown artifact spawning, a few planets has yielded nothing yet. Returning to regular activities for a few days, half expect us to still be going raound in circles in a week most likley
