We need the system data.
I think we are looking for a system with this planet pattern from the star: smal, smal, smal, large, medium, large, unknown (maybe large).

are you suggesting that the sounds made by the UA could some how be related to the size of the planets in a specific system?

thats so crazy, it just might work.

Not precisely: I think he's talking about those markings on the UA "head". See his previous posts about that... ;)

Not a bad shout.

Maybe the morse would determine what sort of system we are after, like you have said.

For example : .-.-...

Could be:

Star, belt, planet, belt, planet planet planet?

Something along those lines.

Could anyone be a complete legend and link to the raw morse? Before translation?

Cheers all.

ah gotcha,

I figured perhaps he was suggesting the thargoids gave us an Audio version of our very own "Voyager Plate"

We could work out a decryption of the star, followed by planets using magic or smth.

pretty much this, yes.
 
Just so that someone else doesnt have to, I am visiting and scanning all VID systems, especially anything that could be #8 in the system.
Just found one 510,000ls from primary, see ya later

Only VIDUCASSES 8 exists. It has an Outpost
VIDAVANTA B 8 exists, but thats on a secondary star, and is an icy planet

The other 2 are duds
I can give System Screen Shots later if people think this is worth it

Look at the markings that lights up on the head of the UA.
 
after thought: to my knowledge no one has tried to work out a "system layout" from the UA recording as a whole.

If the UA is solvable without the aid of sound analyses equipment perhaps there is a pattern in the sound itself that would "paint" a system.
idk. throwing science at a wall.
 
Just to state it as clearly as I understand the situation:

There is absolutely no link between Senator Loren and the UA. Drew had begun the process of trying to develop her story in the game world, following on from the events of his book - and this all started to kick off soon after the UA was first discovered and the collective community clamour really started to kick in.

However, he confirmed that they were not linked, and that it was just him trying to weave it together to create a sense of mystery and to make it all more 'alive'.

After the recent announcement that he was leaving the ED universe, in a player capacity, for the foreseeable future (possibly till August, if the upcoming surprise touted by FDev was good enough) this end to the Loren story is a neat way of writing her out without explicitly killing her off. As was suggested by Zenith (+rep there).

So we must not waste any time on Ms Loren, and I dare say somebody should be updating the Wiki to reflect this. If I get a moment I will do so, just can't promise anything (sorry peeps).

I have updated the wiki to reflect this, I have moved Formidine Rift to disproved and added a note to that effect. Another avenue crossed off the list.

Even if a system would be PERFECTLY painted, you'd have 4 billion systems to search however. ;)
And, how many systems will resemble that perfectly painted one?

If it's a system the UA wants, we need a name. :(

VID 8 produces nothing on the galaxy map.

VID produces 4 options,

VIDU - Last name of a composer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_Vidu
VIDUCASSES - named after the celtic people
VIDATTUNS - Seem to be a well known system good for trading
VIDAVANTA - another good profitable trading system according to google

I don't have any of their system data but may be we got to take it to the 8th planet in one of those systems.


Maybe the whole VID thing could be a sign?

the V meaning a Class V star, such as K or M main sequence stars?

The I and D though... well yeah.

Again, as Derthek would put it;"throwing science at a wall"
 
Oddly, though, I do buy the idea that they might combat the Cerberus plague.

Im starting to like the biowaste canister thing - Phages would like that stuff :) Might even cause them to replicate ...

This reminds me of the "Gap" Series of books by Stephen Donaldson.

Wow - ya I never finished those, remember reading the first book ... will have to look them up again


Do you think that the content of the head and the pods will mix when the UA is "triggered"??

These things look like petri-dishes with cells:

Zoom in close.

No idea really ... but sounds interesting - Ya if we could only analyze the DNA :)

Awesome, love the infographic.=)

Thanks ! Had fun with it - any excuse to produce an infographic ;)
 
I can think of a few ideas:

- Search sector (51,50,0), as suggested above, and look for the 8th brigtest or massive-est star.
- Search for Federal Station 51500.
- Sacrifice 51500 cans of fish to the Frontier Gods give us a hint.

Well, HIP 51500 does exist...

E: Also, Vid seems to mean "to know" in some langague connected to Hinduism (Sanskrit).

Sorry people but it's not.

DIV is 504 and sometimes can be written as VID
VID can rarely be 6 500, separated (VI D) and more rarely 494 (500-6)

But most of all why roman and decimal together?

PS:
Italian here ;)
 
Screenshots around coordinates 50,50,0: the closest systems would be LHS 2370 and Thraskias (both Felicia Winters exploided = Federation).
