Yup, it is possible.
I think UA probably spawn anywhere, just as a very rare spawn but, of course, you never know till you find one.

Whatever you do don't tell "them" about the Satanic chanting. In the purrs. ;-)

I moved down to 20 Ophiuchi earlier this evening after spending the last week searching 109 V without luck (quite a few well known cmdrs there), for a change of scenery (!) as much as anything else.
In a gold trap, I had an npc - who wasn't in the contact list - direct message about his escort having system failures our something, before the usual attack (hopefully I have a screenshot of this, but away from pc). As he didn't appear to be actually there i have to assume this must have been a bug, but hey after all this searching I'll take anything and continue the search from there.
And just to mention, the BBC micro (home of original Elite) version of Soace Invaders was published by 'Bug-Byte Ltd', naturally.
Okay I thought this earlier (hence why I'm quoting a now ancient post from just under two hours ago!) - what about slowing it down? I've been meaning to do it myself, but just haven't got round to it.
We naturally want to speed it up because the dominant sounds are obviously derived from samples that have been slowed down.
But there's a lot of high-pitched stuff in this noise, that is almost certainly derived from other samples that have been sped up

There could have been. But sadly there will not be.
As you requested:
CMDR TIMSK Python
CMDR Wishblend Imp.Clipper
CMDR Britain Python
CMDR Nirleb Python
Sorry not sure about "Grumbleweed" is also the correct CMDR name?
But we are almost under us ...

See...to use a phrase that has actually got my back up in RL....we're over thinking it.
I have no idea what to do, but I don't think it's anything fancy or specialist because that would limit the participation of the general player base...like me; audio/crypto gandalfology isn't my strong point.
To be honest, I'm reduced to wanting to kick it again to see if that works this time.

That's what I was trying to get at too. Was on the loo so couldn't check the galaxy map at the time
But a reference to space invaders would be very fitting, quite funny and would also be a lot simpler... And people in the know (IIRC) have suggested its much simpler than some of the (admittedly very awesome) investigations that have so far been carried out.
Don't want to stick my nose in but I just thought if you are looking for a location to take the UA to, a system whose name has some link to the original game would be worth a try. I've just had a quick look on the galaxy map searching for some of the names in the Wikipedia page (including the developer name among others) but no hits... Might be something in it though, some obscure reference that isn't on the Wikipedia page.
This is an artistic interpretation of a phage multiplying
Thinking about plagues.
We know that sometimes a UA eats its way out of a cargo hatch. Left to its own devices, it would shortly afterwards explode. We cannot assume that we have seen every convoy that has had one. "IF" the UA is a plague carrier and "IF" it spreads its "spores" by exploding, we would expect that systems become infected after convoys pass through and lose their UA. This would be quite rare - but it may be that the convoys have more than one route, and thus there may be other places to look for them - the plague systems.
The only place we know of where a UA was exploded was uninhabited so no plague could be spread.
Yes I know there are a lot of "IF"s in that idea - Easy enough to check for convoys in plague systems tho - might give us a few more to play with.
If we had spare UAs we could always try exploding one near a station - possibly a bit immoral - and see if plague develops.
Yes I know I've posted this type of thing before - no-one has answered - I don't want to sound like "he whose name shall not be mentioned" - but I can't see the logical flaw in this.

Gandolfology, as in "speak friend and enter" (quote from lord of the rings, the answer is to say the word "friend").
"Have you tried listening to them". No, but I have searched the galaxy map for THEM and you do find a system in inhabited space...
If only I had a UA, and wasn't thousands of light years away...
nice, I'm CMDR Monkey D Luffy also flying a Python
No, it's a nice idea, but so far every known recording of the Morse signal that has been analysed has successfully translated into just a local body/station name or system name without any extraneous letters or digits.
We have been kinda hoping that there might be somewhere where the UA's Morse would be different - but no such place has been found. There's also the slight problem of divining this mythical system from the multitude available to a UA carrier within reasonable reach of a repair bay!
This is a teaser while my video uploads and processes with Youtube...
It is confirmed!
Unknown Artefact + 8x SAP8 Core Container = 3 purrs.
Removing SAP8s changes the UA sound back to 5 purrs.
There is a catch though. You need to get the UA within the "cloud" or "swarm" of SAP8. If there aren't enough SAP8s within a certain radius of the UA, it will just carry on with 5 purrs.
So purely by "listening to it", we've determined that 8x SAP8 Core Containers in close proximity to a UA will change the sounds output from 5 purrs to 3 purrs.

Also thanks to this brave CMDR!
Be cautious: there are variations now with engaging NPC's ( Engaging! Traget at my list ... and such) Check the picture if available if really Naval Convoi please.
Also have found new Naval convois in USS in 109 Virginis. Yes: USS 1xT9 with 1x or 2x Anaconda always with 1x Gallium inside rest vary
No clue what thats mean ...
But i would say: forget the hunt in this form yet. Boring like hell! Very bad from Frontier, very very bad ...
No one knows if it is bugged or not. But you find not the right convoi also after the 300'th SSS.
So Frontier please fool not longer your costumer please. Would not be the first time from addicted to hater in game industrie ....
We salute you!
