You can try flying between systems but fuel would be an issue.

Around the time of that video there was a "bug". People were complaining about reaching Sag A and finding pirates, SSs and similar there. =( Immersion breaking it was called.
I know Kerash has some inside information but I can't help feeling we need to be careful about reading too much into what he says.
I don't know Kerash so I shouldn't really be making any judgement but I do get the impression he likes to paint the mystery and add to the flavour of what's going on. (ie "ahh but are you sure it's morse!")
This is cool and there's nothing wrong with it, after all it adds to the game and the mystery of it all! But when there's a danger for us to be hanging on his every word and taking what he himself is weaving into the story as evidence for something, well then I think it could start to cloud things a bit.

No, not really. Sure, we have a handful of explorers now going out into the galaxy, but the "outer rim", in the context of human space, could simply be, well, the edge of that you know.
Btw: i also think morse is important. But not necessarily crucial. I could be also just a part of the riddle and i would not wonder if it was never intended to be solved. Not even morse specialists seem to be able to hear this strongly distorted morse code. And why would the thargoids by any means use morse to tell us the name of the closest object. The theory that sounds the most logical to me is that the morse code is actually some kind of warning that there is a solar object around that disturbs whatever the UA is going to do, because we already tried to bring it to the object it is naming. And to what else could this name lead us? So probably we just have to bring it very, very far away from the next star or stellar object and start recording again. A while back i heard something about thargoids not knowing about dark systems. Their way of travel from witchpace into our dimension seems to work only if there is a star or some other kind of strong gravimetric disturbance that needs to be there as an anchor. Probably they are just not able to hear the UA if it's too close to another star.
Btw: for those on the lookout for thargoid territory: it has always been said in FFE that they are "north" of us. The Argents Quest headed there and met them.

The way the game works...
Each system is an area, you have to be in an area.
A while back I tried supercruising into a system from a nearby system. The plan being as a way to bypass permit requirements.
It doesn't work, the system you're heading to never appears, you are essentially always "in" the system you last jumped to.
Just to ask (and I can guess the answer to this) you can't get a module failure while in hyperspace can you? I know all heat damage and such is "halted" so it's like the Elite engine just stops processing at that time.

Indeed, lest we forget the whole Drew's Clues Saga, all nothing more than a (quite fun) misdirection and a distraction. RO, C!
...or was it?? Yes, yes it was.
Yes, it remembers me about the shape of that eye, too.
I've also seen that the top most 2 symbols of the shorter marking are probably a 7 and no 2 2. In some videos this two dots are connected and form a line.

It is not possible to do that. You have to "jump" to "load" another system/instance. That's how ED works. Instance based.
Yes, you could be right. But we have to take every single drops that stills out from FD
BTW there are people being interdicted very far away right now: I've read a post somewhere yesterday about that...
Since there was a discussion about Outer Rim and the original remark that the UA was only found in a specific region, I did a quick test with the data we have from the Wiki:
However, based on this, it doesn't seem like there is one specific region, since 109 Virginis and Chamunda are completely out of the way of the others. You could vaguely say that Timocani, Geawenki, Delphin and Siren are in the same area.
Does anyone have more (confirmed) locations where the UA was spotted?
| Coordinates | Dist. Sol Ly | ||||
| Timocani | 24,63 | 10,75 | -72,41 | 77,23 | |
| 109 Virginis | 6,06 | 106,09 | 82,41 | 134,47 | |
| Chamunda | -47,22 | -6,78 | 62,125 | 78,33 | |
| Geawenki | 11,59 | 15,63 | -71,625 | 74,22 | |
| Delphin | 18,66 | 16,75 | -76,31 | 80,33 | |
| Siren | 16,13 | 22,28 | -77,375 | 82,12 |

Anyone see any connection to these numbers that were found earlier in thread? 1,833,061.07273. 1,838,807.16438ls
The two numbers being so similar looks like, something travelling right?

With NORTH they mean UP above the Galaxy plane? Or north is along the X axis?
BTW the Voyager, if it is still there where it should be, is very far away from the direct influence of a "gravitational object"
My own doubts about the numbers are that I think it's too clumsy a system for species to discover space flight; doubt we'd have got to the moon with Roman Numerals...but
Why have I suddenly got an image of Richard Dreyfuss building mountains out of mash?

Thanks for doing this, as the guy who collated that list, I should point out that the unconfirmed ones are systems mentioned by a player reeeaally early on, before the actual discovery, and he wasn't even sure that it was a UA in the end. So, I added them for the record, but honestly, I'd disregard them.

do you need to be elite for that, or is it just your personal goal?
Just a thought that came to my mind after nilreb's post: has anyone tried to see if these Elite / Founder missions have branching paths? I do remember that the black box recovery mission said that we "shouldn't poke the hornet's nest", but I never did try doing exactly that. Maybe if something does go wrong, we might find more hints.
I'd give the black box missions another go myself (since I'm a founder), but I'm currently roughly a week away from populated space.

Yes, you need to be Elite to accept that particular mission about sap 8 and "Answering the call of Adventure".

BTW I've heard that they can be found in SSS too, but it is the same lottery as looking for the UA...

Isn't it towards Polaris - the north star?
I thought the Thargoid homeworld was suppose to be Polaris (I have no idea where I read that so it might not be canon).

Yes Polaris HAS something to do with Targhoids, it's known: it had a Thargoid Outpost in the previous games.
That's why it is a system under permit... coincidence?
BTW north is a convention: Galactic NORTH is different from earth's north. That's why I asked.

Missions are not consistently, in wich order ever.
"Obfuscating the outer rim/Answer the call of Adventure" run with no cargo, but "crystals" in debriefing. (But this is known since Beta 1.3)
Also all "assumed related" missions are again available from almost all factions (presupposed rank/rep is high enough) in many systems.
Frontier seems to change/test a lot. Often they react if something is to easy: SAP 8 sourcing or "fast ranking" as example without any notice.
I'm on heavy testing after giving up UA hunt (fruitless since weeks)...
We salute you!
