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..
My hope/connection attempts were as follows:
* Spaceship One was a proper Capital ship with two of the most important people in the galaxy on it & presumably hundreds-thousands of enlisted Feds. You shouldn't just "lose" something that massive w/ that many people on board & not find any wreckage.
* It diverted mid-tour for "classified reasons", which sounds suspicious on it's own. And we're dealing with suspicious Federal convoys trying to sneakily transport unknown/toxic cargo.
* The final report indicated it was the result of a "complex, multi-system failure". What else do we know could produce multiple system failures? The Unknown Artefact, as it eats through systems.
* If you become President (both Winters & Hudson were briefly) & become privy to the knowledge Spaceship One disappeared after taking on a UA, you're going to try everything to bury that story so it doesn't become public knowledge.
* The suspicious "THEY'RE LYING TO YOU" GalNet story about the loss of Spaceship One. Seems pretty heavy-handed/foreshadow-y to me.
* We've been told we've had as many clues (plural) as FDev feel they can give without giving the secret/mystery away. Since the sound hasn't changed much & there haven't been many official forum follow-ups, the only other (main) source for hints would be GalNet.
As for what that has to do with the UA, maybe we haven't seen all of its sounds yet. And the Morse changes based on what the nearest mass body (star / planet / station) is, so maybe it acts as a detector or homing device for "gravitational anomalies" & changes its sound, which is what the Azaleach CG was about.
It's super-tentative & there are problems with it, such as:
* We don't know the route exactly, which makes following the trail problematic.
* We don't know what the jump range of a Capital Ship actually is.
* We don't know what the Starflight One ship composition was (which might provide a maximum jump range).
* We don't know if Starship One reached Azaleach or not.
* This leaves us with a pretty massive area to search + not knowing what we're looking for.
* We have no proof they took on an Unknown Artefact or not. If it was just foul-play (like the previous Fed VP - February GalNet, or the Emperor's assassin-to-be), then the theory is straight out.
