Radius of the circle could be the crater. The radius is 116~118km, if you want to start with that.

why not use radius of merope 5 c

Wait, did they actually destroy the last one they were parked over on the other moon? We might have to make a retaliatory strike. If we can get Eagles and Cobras to distract the CAP, we can then get ASPs set up with rockets to bomb all the turrets on the ground and the heat sinks on the battlecruiser. This planet is important, and we can't have them mucking up the mystery. Threaten them! Tell them that we'll strike back if we can't get some answers!

thats it the dont let u near and navy ships are swarming the area
 
Not convinced- the UA shell is centred on Merope not any of the inhabited human worlds, and UP arent pointing at Earth/Achenar/Alioth. If Paul is already on 5C all he has to do is sit on the surface with a large lump of metal, or walk to a barney site, & we'd find him.

A few more points to "support" my theory based on what you said ( but just my opinion)
If the UA shell is centered around merope it makes some sense to assume that's where they originated from, maybe reached the maximum distance they can travel.
And (wildly conjecturing here) Paul might be stuck in the wreck (if that's what it is), might even only be its AI, hence he wouldn't be able to leave it and come to us.
 
It would really help if we knew that the lines, dots and dashes around the planet surface meant....

Not necessarily. It could be as simple as lining up the two images and seeing what's in the middle.

Edit: Or probably not, when is this ever simple :)

of course they are. same person, same ship, same results.

we need recordings from people flying different ships to actually scientifically rule out a couple of things.

To be honest, it looks like FD have put a lot of work into this clue, I don't think they'd tailor the clues on a per-ship basis.
 
That and FD have used that a bit already i think they would use something else.


In Battlefield there was a flickering light that everyone thought was a thing. They thought it was morse, but it didn't flicker in consistent increments. So I recorded the entire sequence, took the shortest flicker and divided the whole string by that amount, and everything fit. The whole sequence was a perfect fit for 4 4-letter words in binary.
Complete gibberish.
The way to solve the code was to go to someone's profile on battle log, look at their emblem and read their poetry, look at a picture of an attic hosted on a third party website and find morse code written in trash and graffiti, and then I stopped paying attention. I really hope frontier made a clever puzzle that's almost believable from a lore standpoint. If I find out this is just a bunch of bull     I won't be happy.

I'm just gonna stick this out there as well: as a former councillor of the Canonn, I'm becoming ever so slightly more concerned that more is being done and said on Discord than is being broadcast here.

The Discord is a closed shop, with its own mods and rules, requiring membership of our site (of which I'm still web admin - proud of its 25k pageviews/month obviously!). Crucially - it's not visible unless people actually run the app. Whilst it's undeniably a fantastic platform for everyone to have a chat, many long-standing forumites here never use it, and any 'information' on it is only available to people who do actually use it (and it is a hopeless platform for anything older than a day).

The Canonn was never meant to be a closed shop, nor was it ever meant to be a place where 'science' was done in secret. I hope those who have the reigns realise that the whole enterprise lives or dies by its ability to be found on google - and that requires an openly readable forum. Like this one.

Now, I know that there are no barriers to entry, and that everyone is welcome - but, for me, unless it's being discussed here, then it just ain't Canonn.

I agree entirely. I don't use Discord, now this is entirely my choice obviously as is my reasoning for not using Reddit, but one of the main reasons I enjoy helping and being involved with Canonn so much is that like the Buckyball it is a loving and hilarious inclusive family. No restrictions, no pressure, just great comradery.

The main reason that I have never signed up for the Canonn site is that although I've been helping out for the best part of a year now, I come and go as I am needed and I have viewed membership of the site for the more permanent fixtures ;) rather than jumping on when something big happens. I'm always here though... lurking... ready to gather information and data for those that need it :D

Except it's already been passed between different pilots in different ships and the results were the same. So far there have been no changes. The only thing that hasn't really been tried is attacking the probe.
 
I'd just like to point out that there are far too many of you "scientists" that don't even follow the scientific method.

When creating a theory, you don't start with a hypothesis and then try to find supporting evidence.

That's confirmation bias.

You look at the evidence and you create your hypothesis based on the evidence. Then you try to DISPROVE it.

To be honest I've carefully shot it a few times with my beams. And nothing happened, apart from it losing some health.

ok so found a freefloater and did the test (top one).

and no pictures hidden in it though slightly different from a tamed one a lot of noise in the bottom one( captured UA)

All duly noted, anything we have of note will be posted here as soon as practical ! Canonn are as open as we can be, We don't do "Secrets" and if anyone has a direct question feel free to PM any of us !

So you're saying the UA shell is a big "HELP" written in the sand, & the UP is a message in a bottle (that points to the desert island in question) with a map to the cave Paul is trapped in...

this theory WILL KILL IS believable ( sorry, been watching too much Forged in Fire)

As I said some posts above, I think that the message is not hiding another one but just showing the ability to communicate and maybe providing a code to decipher following messages. So I started speculating about what this code could be.

I realized that one may unfold the circle along its circumference and interpret each quadrant as a different symbol.


In that case, the lower left quadrant corresponds to our Pi symbol.


The depiction of Pi both as a number (3.142) and as a symbol doesn't seem a coincidence to me. There are also some works in the sci-fi literature where Pi was the key to decipher some alien artifacts:

And, most notably,


Notice too that the 4 quadrant symbol is also the usual symbol for Earth. Coincidence?

If the inverted T symbol is interpreted as usual in logic, the = symbol is also interpreted with its usual meaning, and we suppose the symbol in the top right quadrant to be a representation of 3, one may read Pi=3 False by starting in the lower left quadrant and reading clockwise. (By the way, Pi=3 and God is the basis of this short story: Pieces of Pi ).

Food for thoughts.
