Daze made the connection that the symbols in the codes actually match the symbols of Codestones.

The "C" is a Lu Codestone.
The "T" (mushroom or paintbrush) is a Main Codestone.
The "X" is a Mau Codestone.
The "O" or "circle" one is an Orn Codestone.
The "V" with a dot is a Tai-Kai Codestone.
The "8" or "B" is a Vo Codestone.
The "Z" or "%" is a Zei Codestone.
You must complete all of the Space Weather Reports, Civilian Traffic, and Maintenance Reports, and at least *one* of the Military Comms (the one with the shuttles message).
My Recommendations:
-Get through the Space Weather Reports. They're relatively easy.
-Use the helpful links in the first post to figure out your combinations for the 2-mod and 3-mod (6 variables) puzzles
-Use the wonderful(!)
generator (patiently) once you get to the 3-mod/7 variable ones. (Unless you're a glutton for punishment and feel like doing it the long, hard way)
**You can leave the page and return at any point prior to unlocking the shuttle message without losing previously completed puzzles, and the remaining ones will stay the same.
Tips for solving puzzles:
Select a spot to solve for. (First or Last symbol is recommended, as they're easies to see)
Example (not a real puzzle):
Given code: 88x88
Modifier 1: ?????
Modifier 2: ?????
Goal: x8xtc
Solve for c: figure out what two symbols (plus the 8 ) give you c, and try all combinations possible.
IE: 8 + c + x = c, and 8 + t + c = c, try all combinations of codes ending with those symbols.
If you are getting the Har Codestone symbol, it means something went wrong. Remove at least one of the modifiers and replace it to regenerate the result. If your whole screen comes up with Hars, go back to the menu and then re-enter that puzzle.
