Couldn't find Liaququ but I did find Liabeze with a habitual planet.

Not sure if that the right system, here a screen shot.

No, it's not the right system. The planet should not be tera formed. It should have indigenous life.
The system "Liaququ" is described in the FE2 Gazeteer and had a very strage episode in FFE.
Maybe it's the one in Miquich?
 
Epsilon Eridani is at 2, -7, -6, give or take. Not quite 2, -2. Has a terraformed New California earth-like planet suitable for water based life like Liaququ, and has indigenous life.
Epsilon Indi is at 3, -8, 7. It also has an outdoor world with Indigenous Life, but no New California planet.
Miquich is way off but has a terraformed New California earth-like suitable for water-based life, with indigenous life.
Phekda is way off but also has a terraformed New California earth-like suitable for water-based life, with indigenous life
Liabeze is waaaaay off those coords, but also has a terraformed New California earth-like suitable for water-based life and has indigenous life

Liabeze is ringing a bell from somewhere though, let me get back to you on that.

Edit: All terraformed with indigenous life, sorry

All the New California have the same description.
 
Huh, but they share some interesting characteristics:

All Nitrogen/Oxygen atmospheres of course (differing %)

Liabeze 263K 0.2 Mass 0.35 Atmos
Epsilon Eridani 261K 0.25 Mass 0.36 Atmos
Miquich 262K 0.34 Mass 0.78 Atmos
Phekda 319K 0.20 Mass 1.25 Atmos

That means all except Phekda's planet have a nice cool -10C surface temperature - and we know who likes that don't we? I wonder if any of them were ice worlds before they were terraformed, like Merlin...

319K = 45C , so I think that rules out Phekda (or it's New California world anyways)

Edit: Sadly, none seem to have any ammonia content.

Edit2: Merlin has a very similar atmosphere and surface temp (268K) but a higher pressure of 2.3, and much lower mass of 0.04

Edit 3: Quy is a terrestrial ammonia world with a surface temp 209 Kelvin, or about -64C, and 2.28 atmos, mass 1.38. It also has ammonia in the nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere, "active ammonia-based chemistry and carbon-ammonia based-life" Note the absence of the word "indigenous"...

BTW, does anyone know the exact differences between "earth-like", "outdoor world", "terrestrial world", and "water world"? Or is this another known unknown that we are left to wonder about by FD?

This got sort of lost in the phony vid. I'm assuming this is old news?

Is that the purrs?

No-one has found a message in them yet.

The complication with the purrs is that there's no consistency to them, collect and redeploy the UA and they will be different each time. They also do not seem to repeat over the period they are deployed.

How can you decode something that changes everytime?

To muddy things further, if a UA is deployed and multiple CMDRs are viewing it each CMDR will hear a different pattern of high/lows!

I mean if someone can find a message in the purrs that would be great but no-one yet has.
 
But not the same planetary details I don't think.

As I can't play these days, I try to read a bit of history.
This story involves rebels fleeing the federation, bubble ships, the Antares, a 200 m long fish (living on New California), a rip in space time and French.
It's quite complex to say the least :)

It's the French. That causes problems every time. ;-)

Apart from the hour of testing earlier this evening, I've had a night off. :)

The video was fake and it was easy to tell how.
The Viper hologram didn't move up/down/left/right with the pitching of the ship.
 
Is there any way to hear one of these things without using the debug camera? I have an idea but it's contingent on moving and listening at the same time.
 
My 2 year old daughter always wants to watch Cbeebies on iPlayer whenever I switch the computer on, so perhaps showing her some videos of the UA will trigger the obvious answer without all of the over thinking! Will try this theory tomorrow, don't be surprised if we end up looking for a system called "Ballamory" or "Iggle Piggle" from this approach though!
 
Hi all,

I think I may have solved one mystery of the purrs.

Well at least figured something out that I think tells us just what the purrs are and why they are, there may be more "mysteries" beyond this I don't know.

I think with this information it *may* be possible to fill in the hidden purrs but I'm not sure. ie assuming the purrs play all the time and go quiet during the morse.

I will also say I feel it's not good news and discovering it has made me a little sad. =(

I'll post more about it tomorrow, I need to pull some graphs and whatnot together so people can nitpick, as I say it's far too late.

Some may disagree with what I have but to my mind (it's 4:30am!) I feel it's pretty conclusive.

I have not solved the mystery of the UA by the way!

When and if the UA was taken to nimoy station during testing did it come up as a sellable item?
Just asking on account of the narrative in the 1.2 wings trailer talking about "lets take it to the station and find out what it's worth".
Also as far as I can remember reading in the thread that the UA can't be sold legally(not sure).
My thinking is if that's true everywhere then if it can be sold at Nimoy station you have your answer.
The mission about the singing spheres makes me think along these lines with the whole take them to the station to get information out of the sap 8's.
I mean really in any video game these days they're not expecting you to think much at all.
I'm putting my money down now on the very popular and simple theory that you have to take it to Nimoy station and sell it. I sure ED don't expect their players to know morse code or have complex sound manipulation software.
What I would expect is them to put an obvious clue in a video trailer and see if someone noticed, as said by ED "we can't really make it any easier" and as micheal said "they've been there since 1.2"
Get it "1.2"
Oh well you can lead a horse to water, anyway just my 2 cents.
Flame on!!

It'll sell at any station with a Black Market. When I took it to LNMS last week, it was a (very average) 181k Cr - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGiIt7Icrjo. If we haven't got a better lead within a week, I will be selling my there to test this.

The problems with this are:

1. The UA is gone & we'd only have one more for testing.
2. The devs are on record as saying once we figure out this part (& we're close somehow), there's more to it. Selling cargo rarely means anything but your credit balance going up.
3. The price at LNMS isn't much different from the rest of the galaxy, so there's nothing to indicate selling it there is the correct place (beyond what's mentioned in the trailer).

But we don't have a recorded sale (AFAIK). When I go to do it, I'll be recording the sound with the Orca first (to kill/confirm the whale song theory), then looking at the missions/contacts/my cargo to see if anything happens.

Just a quick thought before i either go to bed or say screw sleep and pull an all nighter, has anyone confirmed with FD that the trigger for the UA isn't bugged and that we might have done what we needed to but it just didn't happen?
