0.17 Easter eggs

[honza97]

I have another "SSTV picture" hint : if you look closer you may see that red line is vector pointing from some object (asteroid???) at pyramid. But it could be a mountain or something else :-)

[ramipro]

Has anyone checked Duna's south pole? It looks like there's a line connecting the little mountain and the south pole of the red sphere.

I was recording a tutorial video today and spotted that by accident. So I aborted my current landing and landed at it instead.

The place that gives the signal is on Duna's south pole.

The circle on top has got to be Kerbin. If you look closely you can see blue which can only mean water and in the middle the shape of the land resembles the continent that KSC is located on.

and the magic boulder does not orbit Duna

Of course, the tricky thing is, for that screenshot to exist, it doesn't need to orbit Duna at all, just to be on an orbit that gets close to Duna once in a while (in our case on planetary alignments), kinda like a comet.

I have a theory about the pyramid shape... What if the pyramid in the SSTV is actually the pyramid shaped object where the SSTV signal was found? (The mountain thingy on Dunas polar cap...)

[Pual24]

I just noticed someone said somethinng similar to what I said a couple posts above me! sorry

[NovaSilisko]

I'm torn between being amused at all the incorrect theories and being annoyed by them

Please, forget that and do awsome thing like a OSDT halo drop pod...

[khyron42]

When possible, always be amused. It leads to a much happier life.

I didn't expect the dead kraken to be a physical object, and was pleasantly surprised when Jeb was able to stand atop the beast.

Just noticed on mapsat that the Apollo 11 memorial is a few Km away from my Mun Base. Dispaching rover ASAP.

EDIT: Made it. Jeb looks happy to be the first to see his hero's monument.

Updatez!!!

[Astronomer]

I played around with the famous image and this is the most detail I could get out of it.

Also, here is the "brokenphoto"

What is.. broken photo?

[Astronomer]

That is what i've been trying to answer without a particular sucess that I could summarise in a few words, sorry.

Here is the original post, btw.

We need to forget about the Duna image, let's look for those theorized caves.

[Pluto100]

It's the Kraken I believe. It's got the same stripes as it. It also has tenticles if you look closely.

[Schweehog]

There is too a second SSTV signal:

HAHAHA good one! You got me! In case you don't understand this is what that translates to:

[that1guy]

Okay, this is my new theory:

based on the new finding of the clarified photo, the SSTV refers to a volcanic eruption. The orange part is the magma chamber, there is a vent to the hill, and the red line is a lava burst... open to being corrected, but this is what I am currently running with. My alternate justification is this: planet cores have not been activated/added to the game yet, therefore it would be the first and only piece of the puzzle to be able to be found. The eruption could be some sort of timer

[Monkthespy]

Nova, give us a hint, we're shooting in the dark.

[vexx32]

I wouldn't ask for a hint. Knowing Nova, he'll make it so cryptic you'll only get further from the mark xD

[MOhon]

As it happens to others, I also found no anomalies in the Eve surface with ISAMap, but I landed in a curious mountain group. Approximate location 34º N 241º E.

I think it sames an skeleton, right?

I suposse it isn't an Easter Egg...

Wow! You really ARE that one guy, aren't you? LOL.

I think the image itself has been already answered. Let's wait for chapter two of this little enigma to put forth more conspiracy theories, etc I for one can't wait (just wish I had more time to devote to reaching the other planets! My RL has been Kerbalized).

[Nibb31]

My interpretation of the image is that it shows a time and location to find something (the magic boulder?)

Date: The top left diagram shows a central body (probably Kerbol). The lines around it show an alignment of planets, probably the 3 first planets (Moho, Eve, Kerbin), forming a triangle. The point of drawing lines instead of just the triangle is to make the angles measurable.

Location: The orange planet in the bottom right corner has ice caps, clearly making it a representation of Duna. The "L" shape links the pyramid to the south pole of the Duna, showing that we are looking at the pyramid where the recording was found. The red line points to the Zenith of the pyramid, and the 6 white dots represent the graduations of an altitude of 8 units above the pyramid. We don't know what the units are, but they shouldn't be meters or kilometers.

Unexplained: The 4 humanoid figures and the 3 circles on the right. My guess about the 3 circles is that they represent the 3 planets from the alignment diagram, but the colors or details making them distinguishable were lost in the SSTV modulation.
