Details please.
Did you turn it off during count down?
Did you end up in no system at all?
Could you see your position on the GalMap?

Did I just read that 2 people listening to the same UA at the same time hear different things???????
This seems to imply that the sounds are broadcast deliberately and separately to each nearby ship...
Can we try this with 3 (or more) listeners?????
If this is true it seems like a fairly important discovery.
Don't forget we're not hearing sound waves - there aren't any in space. So the UA is broadcasting directional radio? waves - not just a general broadcast to anyone who happens to be there. I wonder if it broadcasts when no-one is there? Dunno how you test that.....it sounds a bit quantum....

Yeah, its very hard to tell tbh, but I didn't think it was too out of sync, the lights pretty much match up along with the howls, I refreshed the page a couple of times and got a slightly different sync each time, so it could be that... but its also hard to tell which one is purring when, so you do probably have a point.
I'd just like to point this post out

You can't do voice comms directed to the UA, which is our only means of audio input.
It does the same thing. What are you talking about the explosion starts at the bottom and goes to the node/blub/head. Plus its to far away to see any good detail. Do you have a copy of the video so can zoom in and slow down video just like the other one.
Just pause one, transcribe the purrs, they are not the same.
Yes, I understand this. I was just asking if someone tried to input UA sound to the game for example when the UA is making sounds in the space. Maybe UA is not listening, but game is
But as I mentioned, probably this is a stupid idea.
I think this is really important - It ascribes a completely different level of "awareness" to the UA. Instead of being a dumb device just making noises - it could be actively sensing its surrounds and tailoring its broadcasts according to?????? something.
Does its sound pattern vary by nearby ship?
Why do you guys keep thinking the process is only this set:
UA lights on [SENDING]
Honk [Big powerful signal, initiate data send]
Chittering [This is my location]
UA lights off [STOP SEND]
Purrs [Data coming back from "home", acks or similar]
Honk [End message]
Or something similar to this theory.
When its plain to see its purpose is not being finished because you wont let it do what its desgined to do.
Let the UA's finish what they are supposed to do.

With all due respect, we have now heard your theory several times, and several people have politely explained to you why they think it is flawed. I also have my own ideas which I have shared, but I accept that I cannot test them until I have my own UA.
Unfortunately, nobody can test your theory, ever, until we know for sure that these two UAs that we are aware of are indeed the last ones in the game, which we can't. Therefore, it is not possible to test your theory. And in doing so we would lose the specimens we have. End of story. I think it would be best to let it lie now, as its getting a bit repetitive and this thread is hard enough to keep track of without one person monopolising it with a single flawed idea.
If we're all proved wrong you can come back and say "ner ner ner see I told you I was right all along", like a real scientist.
I know that I cannot access the right panel while in WS, but I'm almost sure I was in Hyperspace not in SC, because I was reaching CMDR Britain in Timocani.
I was not able to reproduce it BTW, but I remember the Alert "FSD Malfunction" appearing.
Checking if my mistake or a Bug that allowed me to access the panel.
It's supposed to self destruct, when not in the correct location. We can not let that happen.
Well, two other things of interest in that post - "three-pronged structure" and "phage-like organism". Check out what a phage looks like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage
Also, doesn't the UA have three sets of four pods?
Coincidence?
And yes, like Zoltan, due to addiction I have been eavesdropping, a bit. Still taking a break from playing though. Edit: And ninja'd by him a few pages back.

Welcome back clavain, now introduce yourself to the group and state that you are an addict. Step one is the hardest.
The Cerberus is a three headed dog thing, according to Google. I don't quite see the doggyness in the UA myself... although the phage is definitely intriguing. As I said before, that is one hell of a sneeze if its a bacterium.

Am I the only one thinking this is good news?
Sound= Morse + fluff. Check
I think it's bad news. Means we have nothing more to gather from the sound, and the sound wasn't actually a lead from the start. Which means the post that started this whole nonsense wasn't a push at adventure. Unless we can find something to follow, or something to say "HEY, you're going in the right direction!" than we haven't actually done anything at all.
Sneaking in late in the evening are we?
I wonder if the UA has actually been taken to an infected planet an dropped?
I mean jettisoned in Morse range of the planet.
I know it has been taken to infected systems and stations.
Um...he was also the doorman of Hades.
Chaps, shouldn't we just put the ticking box down and softly walk away?
