Right.

I live about an hour away from Frontier.

It's getting to the point where im contemplating turning up (with my tinfoil hat in full glory) on their doorstep, protesting for info on the Unknown Artifact.

Aye, go kick their door in and demand some answers!

Maybe kidnap Sandro or soemthing.
 
DO IT! DO IT!

I suggested we had reached an impasse a few pages back and "no more clues!" was the cry. I have been reading everything but staying quiet.......the answer is probably much simpler than any code......but again I could be totally wrong.

Arcannon! So you were not taken by the Thargoids it seems.
I totally agree with you: the word "OVERTHINKING" is always bouncing in my head. That should be simple, very simple.
And the fact that FD said they cannot give us anymore clues should make us think...
because the next clue is the solution: something like let it decay (for daygobah), or "sell it!", or "shoot it", even transporting it somewhere could be overthinking, because they could give us another clue in this case, like:"have you tried taking it somewhere?", because there are 400 billions stars out there, so somewhere could be like nowhere...
It remembers me very much the hunt for the Titan Black... where no code was involved at all, just an almost random system to find...

When it comes to this mystery, we're all equal - so just because I stick up a massive load of text representing time where I really should have been doing something far more constructive (I hope my wife never finds out!), doesn't make me any more or less right than anyone else! ;)

Indeed, I think you have the right attitude!

There are no stupid ideas, however crazy they may seem. If you've got an idea try to come up with some way to check it and report results. I think this is all any of us can do.

I would... but my only concern is having the door slammed in my face and turned away. What a waste of a day off!
What you guys reckon? If everyone thinks its worth a shot ill book a train ticket.

Fear this may be going too far though :p
 
QorbeQ, sorry for bothering you but, haven't you anything to say about that mysterious background sound, all over the UA sound, that seems morse code or something similar, coming out from the bottom of a well?

https://soundcloud.com/azerusrtificial/sets/ratking-plague-ua-test
starting from 1:30

It's that constant background sound that you here ALWAYS and that, if listened carefully, seems to have a structure, repeating itself in a loop of around 5 seconds, like an SOS does.

Thanks

That's unintelligible voice audio from the nearby station from what I can tell, nothing to do with the UA - "atmospherics" put in to make the station sound alive.

Sorry but it's not.

I've checked two videos made by Ratking15 in the middle of nowhere, with no stations, and the sound was still there.
MOST OF ALL, the sound is present only when you are very close to the UA, then it disappears when you step back!
It's not a background ambient noise, sorry. It's a background noise of the UA. It's not voice audio at all, I know that distorted voice audio
you're talking about, I'm alway hearing it outside of stations!

See my post for details and the various videos I'm talking about (including the one with no stations):

Three-headed Cerberus. Three virus systems in the latest Community Goals. And what's the deal with snakes? Wasn't there a developer from FD in a "Meet the Team" thread asking what intertwined snakes on a shield?

(BTW - can't help but feel that all this audio analysis is a red herrring.)

That was a nice quote from Conan, the Barbarian.

Sorry nothing to do with the UA.

Ok, it has already been said but I'd like to point it out even better.
What is the UA? Look at it, remembering those concept art drawings that Han_Zen posted some posts ago.
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&page=56&p=2519525&viewfull=1#post2519525
In particular the Cargo Pod Stacking thing.

For me the UA is a kind of DISPENSER of something, and it is something not good at all: those 12 pods are just waiting to be released or to release their content! And it is not a good content indeed, in my opinion.
Remember that the Human Race got rid of the Thargoids with a VIRUS. So it could be a Thargoid kind of revenge, or even better, it could be a specimen of the HUMAN VIRUS DISPENSER!
What it does? It transmit in morse code the nearest System or Station name.
Why? To ask for instructions: is it the system I have to "plague"? It is going on with its duty, waiting for instructions that will never come anymore. It is a LOST human VIRUS POD DISPENSER.
Look at those systems where a plague is spreading without any apparent reason. Perhaps something ACTIVATED one of those UA, and the VIRUS was released.
That's why we find them in a military convoy: because they are bringing it back home.

The only thing that confuses me is its strong "Alien look". That could make us think that it's simply an alien thing. So perhaps it is, or it was simply built like that to not make Thargs suspicious about it...

I like this !
 
Hmm, seems suspicious

That had better not finish with "..worlds are belong to us".

beaten too it :)

Haha....I haven't missed a beat on here. Sometimes it pays to just step right back and think......hasn't helped at all so far though. :D

Also real life has had me out of action to some degree, my recent "in game" has been my Python sitting in a station while I'm AFK for a couple of hours. I have spent whatever time I had in SSS though......no UA.....Made Dangerous rank though due to some of the hairy situations I have found myself in. It's done wonders for my totally out numbered and out gunned combat tactics.

Oh and for me yes it's related to the outbreaks of disease.....it releases "spores" to my eyes. Also it's emergence was around the time of the out break at....was it HE BO?

And also for me IT IS alien, or at very least hybrid Alien/Human tech..........

The UA is full of "Dog heads" that light up.
Those on the spine are conected 3 and 3.

Looks quite Cerberus like to me. Who knows?
 
I would... but my only concern is having the door slammed in my face and turned away. What a waste of a day off!

Take beer. Lots of beer.
 

Yes.....and I have always said as much....no proof of course, and as I have repeatedly said we must explore EVERY path to find a way out of this maze, however my gut thoughts have changed little and I have posted to that effect many times.

I thought Wishblend had it though for a moment with the "Hotter/Colder" theory....

*Edit* I should also mention that the first time I saw it I would of sworn it looked like it was phasing in and out of our dimension (or something)........bringing whatever it was ejecting in from who knows where. (Cue Twilight Zone Music)

Mycoid virus dispencer has come up a few times.


Ya my problem is after a 100 posts its all new to me again. :) I was actually liking it more for the physical structure of the artefact. It conforms to what has already been identified as a cargo-pod stacking system - but smaller. I am really liking the idea of a dispenser or launcher of those little tharglet thingies attached to it. Still wrestling with the emissions and markings tho :)
 
I can't check at the minute - @ work, but if you join up the 3 locations on the map (where the disease has spread), does it forma a triangle around any unusual stars, or even form a nice straight(ish) line along which we can follow, or even a big pointy arrow pointing at a location (a bit desperate that one I know) :)
 
just a quick thought, what if this whole thing is a lot simpler than we think. back when diablo 3 came out (don't shun me) there were pages of a diary that referenced the show "Lost". everyone there thought there was something more but that's all it was.

i know FD said that there is more to these but what if they are just waiting for us to figure out what the UA is and submit a galnet post to confirm it as the trigger.
