Could it be something that flags up when selling cartographic data at a station?
Click to expand...

I was hoping something like that, yes :)

Would seem far too easy, though. And I dare say something that has been thought of (scans wiki... No reference to a UA carrier trying to sell cartographic data...)

So, for anyone that hasn't gone back through the quote links to my post that Nicholas responded to, quoted above, I had a brainwave that if this thing is acting like a scanner - like our ships - then it's possibly storing all the cartographic data it's accumulated; the question then being - is it possible to extract that information? It's using the same system naming that we humans do in-game, so it must be able to interface with the same database that our ships use.

Could mean that any data it stores is readable by Universal Cartographics - as Nicholas suggests ;)

Simple test for a UA carrier - try and sell some exploration data at a station and see what comes up...

I only listened to one clear chittering. As I said above, Sleipnir A 1. I wasn't aware that any of the other cycles changed but will see if any others are different later.

I was asking simply because of the much lower quantity of purrs - can't decide if it's to do with SAP8s (twelve arms aren't there? We tried 12 of them?) or the system it's in.

We already did a test at Sleipnir in this video(From Minute 13):
http://www.twitch.tv/wishblend/c/6899583

The result is this:

So i think its not the system in general. But it could be dependant to the morsed stellar object. But this would be a huge coincidence. I've rewatched 5-6 videos and all had 6-7 purrs. But maybe they were all close to a stellar object with 6-7 sub objects by accident.

So if in one video is the nearest object the sun and the system has 7 primary sub objects and in the other video the nearest object is Sleipnir A 1 with 3 sub objects, that could explain the purrs.

I have to check that later.

SAP 8

So the morse part is again not helpful. But what now? 2 recordings of sleipnir. One with 6-7 purrs. One with 2-3 Purrs. Only difference: SAP-8. What can we learn from it? SAP-8 changes the behaviour?

Can't be sure, because the test has not been done without SAP-8. There were many ships around. Could be that there was some other kind of influence.

I also want to repeat the Question about the SAP-8 Container lights. Do container lights always blink like that? There even seems to be some kind of symbol on it.

I support this! UA + sap8 + Elite Explorer -> "Obfuscation On The Outer Rim" mission.
And, just to be sure, a whole new LONG recording with sap8 and UA close together, with at least two or tree chittering one after the other ;)

Zenith: aren't you ELITE Explorer? let them borrow you the UA and sap8 ;)

I'd be up for that if one of the UA-bearers is amenable. :)
I'll be on from 6pm-7pm onward tonight.

I've got another couple of recordings (not very long or clear), but it backs up what you're getting at. 3 or so purrs instead of the usual 5-6.

Just had a quick listen to that first one, it sounds essentially the same to me. Or at least I'm picking up key similarities in the core of it.

Those 2 clips are just the chittering part, and the "new" one was also pointed towards the centre of the galaxy because of the "choral" sound in the latter half of it.

Maybe a bit too obvious, but has anybody with a UA been hitting any signal sources with it inside their cargo hold ? Maybe it could trigger a new event within an instance?

Friday event has shown at first: bugs, bugs, bugs
Examples:
- I'm not at Zeniths Video (no I have no decloaking Founder Device) Wing incomplete. Ratking15 has all.
- Ratking15 has strong problems with that one planet to target
- I have all the time two SAP 8 Canister no other has been able to seen, was going nuts over the time ...
One was scoopable (then not a second time again) the other not. One stands steady at 80%, the other 73%. No further degrading.
- to much ships, to near for my taste ...
- Voice comm without end, I was the only one that has shut down voice before start (expected that a must for sound recordings ...)

Keep this in mind ...

And lets try, what must be test again ;-) !!!
No longer time today, sorry.

We salute you!

Could be related to the distance from said object. Though I would have thought it would be more purrs the further away than vice versa. =/

Could you do this test from a while back if you're taking out those missions.

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&page=87&p=2531603#post2531603

i.e once the mission has been taken out, hang around the target system checking out SSSs to see if taking out the mission triggers a UA spawn.

Ok CMDRs, about the SAP 8 CORE CONTAINER:

We have two kind of missions about it.

This one:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&page=13&p=2498681&viewfull=1#post2498681

Is the mission that Zenith already took, and concluded: it brings some very important information about the SAP 8, telling us that it could be a MAP, and that it implies The Dark Wheel Faction, the mysterious Faction that is looking for Raxxla, the place that is the door to another dimension/universe. In the mission text we can read "We have uncovered information about a celestial body. You know the one I mean. Place that isn't a place, door that is also the Key. The Myth."

Are those Crystals the map to Raxxla? Is the UA linked to it?


Then we have this one:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&page=13&p=2498681&viewfull=1#post2498681

Another transport mission, where we learn that those Crystal are used to store some kind of data, so it is in line with the above map theory. I dont know if someone ended that missions, just to know what mission text is displayed.

According to those missions, and to what Kerrash told us, I think the the UA and the SAP 8 bring two faces of the same mistery, perhaps linked to the mysterious Raxxla and the Dark Wheel. And that mysterious Celestial Body, is the door, perhaps, to the Thargoids. The whole mystery implies Exploration and, as I said before, could just be a System or a Region under permit, that will open up if someone brings the SAP 8 or the UA or both.

Yes, I've noticed that after writing... sorry ;) Supposed you already found the solution to those numbers...
I think it does not appear: It is always there, over the cockpit. Also the Scout has something similar...

Very interesting.
I've had a Scout and I remember those yellow writings too. I never bother to read them BTW. But they look interesting... let the speculations begin...

Coordinates? But we need three of them... no.

I always assumed they where just software version numbers for the control systems in the ship.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, I'm new to this thread and haven't had a chance to read through all 100 pages, but I thought of something based on what I have already seen in the thread that I wanted to post.

A book I once read proposed that the easiest way to take over/colonize/terraform a planet was to first kill off the majority of the dominant species using some kind of specifically engineered disease. Because these UAs seem to be able to carry cargo, could they have been used to drop the plague as the precursor to an alien invasion, and that this will be how FD introduces a new alien race?

Not a wall of text, promise! Just another thing to eliminate/try/update. Like Capital Ship/s, I could not see mention on the Wiki of a test performed in the vicinity of...

Jaques Station.
It has not moved from Gliese 1269 in some time, probably since 1.3 hit. Not new game content but a notable change in content.
I am quite sure I visited it in that system very shortly after 1.3 landed but have only been actively keeping tabs for the past two weeks.
It is odd for such a famously mobile and well-travelled station to be sitting around a short ('close'?) distance beyond the Bubble for so long. Almost like it's waiting for something, or simply not making it impossible for a UA-hauling ship to make it out there..?

Hm.....I'll see about the capital ship one though....with where I am it's not really pratical...as I only know of a capitial ship at Sol.

I see two people saying it's not morse......and if it's not morse then what do they think it is?


PS Right due to the pages and pages of activity this has gotten I'm going to just wizzz through them and reply to maybe a few but do tests that are put on the wiki as tests needing to be done as some suggestions.....I can't understand what's being asked and others has have already been said which I know I put on the wiki......also tests sent by pm may be considered.....
