do we even know if its supposed to "trigger" anything?
Although I haven't had time to read all the posts on this thread, I have a question. Did anybody notice the July 14 galnet posting about the Cerberus plague that said "While he denied that the team were calling the new disease the Cerberus Plague, one technician did confirm that the name was being used unofficially and came from an unusual three-pronged structure at the ‘head’ of the phage-like organism." The three pronged structure at the head of the phage like organism reminded me of pictures of the unknown artifact. Has anyone tried selling one of the artifacts to a station to see if the station will suddenly go into outbreak state and possibly start a community event or galnet posting? I ask this because selling an artifact to a station and that station having a disease outbreak could be seen as proof for the thargoid revenge for mycoid virus theory.
Greetings again CMDR!
A few of us know you also brave hunting since a long time, so I want to give some motivation because I know this too good:
You found something maybe really interesting and heplfull for many CDMR's longer term but it goes under because "VERY IMPORTANT" 5 pages discussions ...
Lets "friend up" with some known Hunter/UA holder in game for instant chat. Often a lot faster then over the forum.
If your sighting the day before the drama yesterday
D) was really also a convoy in SC that would be a great changing to find some convoy's.Stated today it is not sure if that happend in the wild or only if player follow (like yesterday).
Can you at least remember if the text was in "red" ? Also here: not really sure about the colours in Wing/Solo. Can only point to my picture.
But in the end like CMDR Lurius yesterday: player has in fact done no action (maybe one scan), only follow.
If Frontier here has change something we will have a lot sightings next day's ... But "not UA addicted CMDR" would ignore it like the "wedding barge".
I have also no clue about the possible "spawn area" as the most other CMDR's. Thats why many are go again to Timocani. Because: seems to work ...
We salute you!
Edit: read your first post ( replyied also there) again:
Timsk said:
So as you definitly talk about a "low wake" SSS you entered: Naval convoy was there and you simple have not seen him? "A" sensors (I change extra to "A" for hunt all the time)?
"A" because: If follow convois that enter "low wake" ( have posted here before. a few first times convoy/T9 was not to find. Some generalized this instantly: they disappear! ->nuts)
___ have found it out as I next time flew a big round as nothing was there and: T9 was there and headed in opposite direction counterpart outpost. Can depend how long CMDR need to enter wake.
___ since that only with "A"
"A" because: even with 160 to sensors in Anaconda (160 tonnes !!! Thanks Frontier!) they are one of the great disappointments in game. They are bad, very very bad.
Of course "D" work well and the most naval convoys are occur within 1-2km as all have seen often. But always? In fact I have seen instances with up to 3 parties/wings.
I can confirm a big, big delay in contact list often. I ramm mostly Cobras before target rectangle fit and the entry came up.
Also there are USS where nothing came up. Then: wedding barge after over a minute. If you like : Have fun in the bug forum!
Would be bad luck if you had one but you don't see him.
Bugged like hell for my taste ... (Mostly one of the reason why my posts/reply goes longer and longer. write more -> play less -> giving up? )
Happy hunting!

I agree, there are valid arguments against it too of course, but I really want to see this one discounted once and for all.
[grumble]Due to the unfeasibly low spawn rate its incredibly difficult to even try these simple things out. Its not taken us so long to figure because we're stupid, its because of this stupid spawn rate, and all the testing has come down to the unfortunate few who have actually managed to get hold of one. I spent an entire week of gameplay looking for one, grinding SSS, with zero reward. This is not 'gameplay'. Someone at FD loves the concept of grinding, and doesn't see the problem with loading a few people with the responsibility and attention of many (ask Cmdr Mobius, but that's OT), in my humble opinion, and as a result of this I'm now jaded and bored, which is a shame. I'm spending a lot of time reading this thread, but I can't bring myself to fire up the game.[/grumble]
Yes, you can hear it from in your cockpit when you're relatively close to it (within a couple of hundred metres).
The only change in the sound while moving is it is pitched upward approaching it and downward moving away from it. Clearly a Doppler effect.
Here's a thought - there are currently 6 community goals in the three plague locations (one trade and one combat CG in each). All of these CGs are impossible to achieve (they have one huge tier level). So why would FDev set up 6 impossible to achieve CGs? Perhaps to get people to go to these locations en masse and do something else? Perhaps to check the BB for new mission types? Perhaps to check the SSS there?
I am somewhat in awe of the CMDRs here who are dropping into SSS after SSS trying to find these convoys. I have up trading after making a few mill in my T6, because of the monotony (whilst at the same time being fully aware that that's what trading *is*). I turned to PvE combat as my source of income, and although I made far less, I had more fun.
After a while, though, I chose exploration - it means long long times away from the bubble, but I can just pick a spot and go. Feeling like you are actually travelling somewhere and finding new stuff (once you can find a 'track' that is unique and not already tagged!) is more rewarding for me, bit I have to ignore the credit/hour gameplay measure.
I'd have given up farming SSS for UAs a long time ago if that's where I was at - but we rely on people who can cope with that grind to find these things (until/unless FD up the spawn rate a bit).
Because I agree - the more destructive options of selling, blowing up etc are options that are too risky for us right now, but they need to be discounted - until there are more in the wild these options can't be tried. Statement of the obvious right there!
We are not meant to hold on to the UA - everything about it makes it hard to carry - so it's got to go *somewhere*, we just need to figure out where

Could it be possible that the Purrs for different commanders are different because of their ranks?
So that for example a Combat Elite hears something else than a Trader Elite?

why impossible?
i have no idea where i can see them, so i looked in here
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=113495
and 1000t is not that much
(is there even a way to see the goals without docking at the stations?)

Don't think so - as we have numerous recordings from single CMDRs where the number of purrs changes once or more somewhere within the recording.
I'd like to add some of you CMDRs to my friends list, apart from CMDR Britain aka bitstorm that I already have.
So can you provide your CMDRs name, where not clearly stated in your signature?
@mrtree - I'd like to help you for the Orca testing, for example guarding the UA outside the station, or keeping it for the short time you need to switch your ship.
Usually I do a lot of PvP in game, as I love it, so If someone of you needs an armed escort, I'm here to serve
@LordZoltan: I've almost never traded in 7 months of playing, all my income comes from Bounty Hunting and RES/CZ. That's why I'm almost Elite by now...

I read one article about some radioactive waste.
It stated that if something bad happens somwhere, you simply change the name of the place. Soon everyone forgets ;-)
I remember some kind of hint by Kerrash, who mentioned the novel "Mostly Harmless". I didn't read it, but the story in there could be important for the UA mystery...

Bet offer
Nothing will came up. Any bets? (I loose the last bet against CMDR MURP btw )
Also we know not really if a CMDR has selled before at LNMS. Only a fraction also are poster ....
Remember how many days Frontier has needed to find out who selled the Titan GTX? And that was in usual commodity market not that fake Blackmarket.
( Rage came up every time. "Blackmarket" -> total nuts. With T9 trader in space as sell point only as it is yet that would be more authentic at this limited state of the game. )
Good luck!

Feel free to add cmdr Han Zen.
Currently safely docked at Seega Port.
I will be offline for a few more days.

I agree with Nirleb!
mrTree, do not sell it, you'd better rather let it decay to watch that "animation" once again, and better if alone, so no duplicating shall occur.
The selling "thing" must be done, for sure, but I don't really think it will make something happen. You'll end up having more cash and that's all.
Perhaps only after the "let it die" theory. Even if was already tried I'm not convinced.
To support this, I remember you MB hint about "listening to them". So I would sell it only if it is telling us "please, sell me"...
Instead, what its audio is telling us, talks about a countdown, some morse code of the near body, and some other undiscovered messages...
If the solution was that simple as selling it, Why bother listening to them? You understand my point?
you acquire it -> you sell it -> something happens
so why listen to solve it? no need to.

The French. You never know what they will do next
There has been a lot of talk about the Wings trailer.
I think it may actually be full of hints.
California sector = New California
Cmdr Jameson = Jameson's Rock
Cmdr Kurtz = The Hart of Darkness
There is probably more, but I'm going by memory. I don't have the Band Width to watch the trailer.
The rest of the Cmdr names would be nice to have ;-)
Why I offer a bet? All want to clear this out.
20 mio CR to CMDR MrTree if something came up! 5 mio CR if not.
Offer expires in 5 days. To CMDR MrTree only.
(in fact only to honour his also great efforts and to give a way out if not longer interested to hold it)
I'm not offer to buy and hold it. Not my business. I more love the hunt and to help other.
Next case please ...
Edit: PM to CMDR Mrtree to ensure he read it

I think your bet/offer is not even needed, because mrTree is already in the mood of trying that without incentives
BTW my concerns still remains.

Ishmael (has the UA)
Kohl (killed)
Halligan
Jameson (late to arrive)
Attack wing:
Flint (first killed)
unknown (second killed)
Vengar (third killed)
Others:
West - on Ishmael's friends list but not invited to wing
Sephirius (?) - shown as coming online in Ishmael's chat log (seen when his canopy gets breached)
I didn't see any mention of a CMDR Kurtz.
nb: Ishmael has his canopy blown out whilst still some 900 LY from Leonard Nimoy station and is shown as having only 4m09s of oxygen left. So he never made it there unless the UA is actually a life support module (possible clue??)
