Guide to decoding ciphers using in-game callsigns.
 
 

Write it down.

When you catch unciphered transmissions during the start of the game, write down the callsigns (for example TOPAZ=/ =ORION. Writing down all of them on paper or in-game using a pencil tool should be enough to get you deciphering quickly.
 
 
 

Decipher them.

You know that all messages start and end with a callsign. For example:
 
TOPAZ=
 
MESSAGE HERE GOING SOMEWHERE ETC ETA 69h =TITAN
 
 
By looking at the list you wrote down try to find a callsign that has the same amount of characters as the ciphered gibberish. For example:
 
 
UANBH=
 
UKANWRQ BNSA IUHHB JSOLEWAH ANT MOM JHh =_____
 
 
We can see here that the first callsign is present, and the second is missing. We can see that the first one is made up of 5 letters. 5-letter and more are easiest since if you get the first letter right, you will also get the fifth right. So if your first knob is on the point you will have:
 
 
TANBZ=
 
 
same with 6-letterers, for example, SULTAN, which will look like SAHJUAH, where you will have the 1-S and 5-A right. Then you s[inn all knobs to the callsign, and the message starts making sense(if by 3rd letter you don’t recognize any words, try another callsign.
 
 
Now the reason to record them each game is to speed things up since you will have different callsigns operating near you at different Runs and deeper into the run.
 
 
 

Bonus tips.

Also, you might want to use the pencil X tool to write down cipher codes, since they change once in about 2-4 days. So if you move very far away from your point of origin and find yourself a bit lost without your old friends sending easy-to-decipher messages since in new area callsigns are different, you might want to revert back to old messages, but oh wait, you can’t read them without the old cipher code anymore.
 
 
Also, writing down the callsign descriptors on paper or in-game with pencil helps greatly. For ex, i tend to find traders mostly using their radiochatter, and i always know where they are, since they love to talk on radio about their actions, and once in about two days will disclose their full trade route.
