For those interested in comparing Voyager Recordings with the ua

NASA just released them

Edit: Is this just a coincidence that after the Voyager Probes go missing ... NASA comes up with a recording *from* Voyager.... ?

 

[daygobah]

Please just listen to this

Derthek's buddy or person he knows that possibly broke the EULA to extract all the UA's sound files i guess we have all the files and nothing else could be found from listening to them. For those that want to keep listening to them there pretty much isnt a need to keep doing that. Thanks for all the effort and what you guys have done but there is no point in listening anymore. The morse is the only part of the UA's worth listening to and we already know what that says the system area info. Everything else is goobledy gook. I thank you all that have done all this work of listening to them. You did a great job.

Now its time to move forward and do something different.

And thank Derthek and the guy he knows. That person probly broke the EULA to extract that info of the 100s of files Derthek says there are for the UA's.

Hang on...there's a test here that we haven't done.

Get two CMDRs in the same place in normal space, one of them with a UA. One drops the UA, and then the other one tries to jump to another system. If it messes with the navigation, it could send you somewhere entirely different.

Yep done already as I asked nilreb to do that and recorded it just barely as he went and jumped.

I am a long time viewer of this forum and finally made an account because I think I am on to something. Civilian Outposts have an antenna like or antenna tower like structure. If you get close to it you hear a sound that I think sounds a bit like the UAs whale sound. Also those Towers have things on them that look like microphones. As I am playing on a Xbox at the moment I have no Idea how to take a screenshot let alone a sound recording. I would ask you nice people to fly to civilian outposts and listen to it to tell me if I am crazy or if those structures DO sound a bit like the UA (and maybe even take pictures if the "microphones").
If others think so I would humbly ask someone with an UA to drop it near the "microphones" to see if something happens.

 

[Derthek]

That's a bit strong....I prefer mad scientists thank you very much.

Fits our profile to sacrifice anyone and anything in the name if our "research"..... Ethics?...next room down the hall this is the experimentation room.....not on the science team? I'd be nervous :0

We are The Cannon. Launching human history into the future.

Hi Ratking, I've added another test to the wiki, its similar but a bit different to this; it'd be great if you could find the time to try it out, you'll need a wingman and I'm happy to oblige just tell me where and when.

Sounds like yesterdays problems for today's future that is brighter.

How fast does this thread grow.....? I'm back on page 358 and every time I get time to scan it, it has increased way more!

GALNET stated the rare tea cured the plague. Does GALNET lie? Could this be another red herring? After all there's credits to be made on the back of a licensed cure and keeping it secret could provide a military benifit. Does tea really kill the plague or is this another carrots help you see in the dark misinformation?

I am probably the least experienced in the UA than almost anyone here, but I was wondering if it could be a dart? One side looks like a 500ml PET plastic bottle (not to scale) shape which attaches to a shaft with rows of spines coming off.

Crazy simplistic theory goes inside the bulb end there's a brewing process which flexes the outer skin making it creak like a wooden floor under pressure. The pressure naturally vents from the chimneys on the spine part (the canister shaped things). The vented substance is some sort of toxic waste from the brewing process. The stuff being brewed is a highly energetic fuel. At a certain point the fuel is dense enough to be used to propel the dart (engine or missile prototype). The side chimneys could also be used as lateral thrusters.

The problem is, for their human maker, that it's all a bit hit and miss with fuel brewing and power output, so in order to test a few at a time a blink morse code is used to identify where the dart was fired from, should it be found intact.

if it's a missile the excess fuel could provide an explosion on striking it's rather large target. If its a rocket engine maybe it could drag a ship behind as it goes wherever it does, as it couldn't be directly attached to a ship due to the toxic emissions.

As for testing this...... (If you're not laughing already ( don't blame you myself )), maybe put UA near a solar heat source to see if the venting increases in proportion to the heat applied, before the dart fires forward or unfortunately explodes due to insufficient venting.

P.S. I am really not sure which way is forwards, but I'd recommend you are at the tail end if your hoping to be taken with it or at the tail end if it's a missile, so that's not the head end. I guess the tail end is the bulb end. Oh and feel free to tear this apart, but it'll take me awhile to read upto this post anyways!

The future's so bright I gotta wear a tinted visor.

Indeed! This thread grows more and more like a problems from a teenager who broke into your liquor cabinet.

Well, the plague article I wrote wasn't due for publish until tomorrow - although not exactly sure if they take those dates as being important... I've not heard anything about it as yet, but if it's not there by Saturday then I'd say it's dead.

I'm sure if Clavain had had a response to his, then he'd have said, too.

I have heard nada, but I left mine completely open as to when they might use it. I am not even sure if they check daily, or just check once a week and try to schedule them in advance. I'd give it a week or perhaps even longer before assuming they have not been chosen (particularly if something else player-submitted around the same time is published).

EDIT: all these ideas have been directly inspired by 'And here the Wheel' book, Kerrash suggested to read...

I think several people suggested that book (and had some of these ideas, which have been updated by re-reading and re-discussing and with yours and others input) some months ago before Kerrash did, FWIW. But it is always good policy to blame Kerrash.

Q: Does GalNet lie?

A: Yes.

At least GalNet neglects to write the truth.

A good example is the article about Sirius Corp.
No mention of how the realy got as rich as they are today.

Oh and 7 points to Eagle5

Thank you kind sir, I will have another!

 

[warlock]

I really don't know how you all have the patience to continue with this.

 

[vtlmks]

Soooo... Just had an idéa, could it be that the military convoys that we shoot at to get the UA is actually a convoy that has found Space Flight One and is salvaging it? In that case the UA is perhaps not the important thing, more likely it is that we perhaps should search for that convoy in other systems and see where it came from, instead of looking for where it's going.

Edit: words, they be hard..

 

[Tallsword]

I am interested in a few things...
Did anyone check if they change in a RES? Particularly near their finding location aka the bubble.
These things emit sounds somehow... If it's by resonating, then I think they might've been made to destroy something... You know, glass and voice, bridge and soldiers...
What happens if you get two of them near each-other? Maybe bump 'em into each-other?
Lastly... Did anyone care enough to check if their sounds change or not while making the president's path? Maybe something like a message... Nr. 1 S, Nr. 2 M, Nr. 3 A, Nr. 4 R, Nr. 5 T... Therefore combining them reveals "Smart".

I'd support some1 blowing one up in a station... only for science of course...

It's amazing what you can achieve with a little E.C.T.

 

[who?]

Ya that was a neat idea - what we didnt realize was that while it was replaced ... all newly arriving ships into the system were redirected into witch space and eaten by thargoids

Oopsie. What happens in Witchspace, stays in Witchspace..

ECT rot13'd is RGP. Rocket grenaded propellor? I could do with one right now.. this hunt is starting to get to me.

The convoys with UAs were out there before Spaceship One was lost.

 

[knowles2]

Where are people hope Spaceship one hint will lead us?.

An what does Space ship one have to do with listening to the UA?

We have rule out UA being a compass and I'm pretty all the most obvious target in that 200ly have been searched repeatedly and the likely hood us running into the president ship in a area that large is pretty low, near to zero..
