Perhaps the equivalent of a Genesis-device for seeding a waterworld with life. It is designed to function in liquid, not in outer space, but that provides it with the capacity to survive for a short-period of time in a vacuum before it deteriorates and ejects its contents. The Morse would then just be it confirming with its mother ship that it is at the right planet or not, or maybe even an error message saying "Oh non, pas encore" as it finds itself in vacuum instead of in an ocean.

I think it may be, but there are a few water worlds to chose from :-/

If I remember correctly, the Leviathan just sort of showed up on New California.
It was not part of the wildlife when the planet was discovered.

One could go thru all the aquatic suff on the rares list. As the krill looks like a dead end the Proto-Squid is the only one that rings a bell.

Has anyone switched on their ship's beacon to see if the UA copies it instead of the Nav beacon?

You people have worked so hard on this, I hope you get a pay off of substantial proportions. I hope there is a solid answer that leads to a satisfactory scenario.

I'm beginning to think that this is a time locked storyline that will play out in a delayed fashion even if you've already completed the necessary doings, as maybe a background story needs to be fleshed out for the masses.

I don't know if anyone's interested in this.

Feel free to use it in family photos, holiday snaps etc...

That something may not be an in-game function, as opposed to simply the reason for the existence of the UA and what it does as part of the story.

Thirded. What really does it for me is that the "hints" have said that there are "mysteries" to be discovered, and "secrets" that are interesting. No mention of cool things that will happen or get unlocked by doing something.

I think it's the Halsey connection - conspiracies, counter conspiracies, etc. I think we're meant to follow the clues in Galnet to unravel the connections and get to the truth. The "have you listened to them" hint led us to find the morse (old Fed blink codes).

1.a. Why does it transmit morse? Morse is human; this does not look human.
b. Why does it transmit the human designated name of the nearest star?
c. Why is the morse weird? Why not ordinary morse? Because it’s alien and getting it a bit wrong? Something else?
d. What other signals are there? Are we missing any because they are not human and we don’t recognise them? Have we found them all but are failing to decode them? There are reams of raw data out there that haven’t been analysed conclusively. And, things have changed - we need new data.


2.a. Why does it explode? Not supposed to be in vacuum? Something else?
b. Why is the explosion glitches with that space rip? Don’t see these glitches elsewhere - are they glitches at all, or supposed to be that way? I know there was work that looked like the shape of the rip was a shadow of the object. Again, why? The footage of those glitches from different angles is interesting because it looks as though the rip happens some distance from the object, and on a certain angle to it. What if we placed a pilot there?
c, What is it ejecting when it explodes?

Sooooo, maybe it transmits it's location so that it can be tracked. Weird morse because that's old Fed blink codes (language will change over 1000yrs, so morse will be different by now).

Maybe it explodes because it's meant to. Maybe what we see is the abort protocol. Transmitted position does not trigger response from home and no signal from home is received so nothing happens, it decays and then pops (or warps home). If one of these transmits a position that it's sender is after, they send the command and BOOM, one exploded starship carrying the President. So Dark Wheel/INRA or whoever is the culprit seeded these fascinating alien looking devices to get the attention of the President. It's a Trojan Horse.

Somehow we have to prove it.

BTW has a UA been sold at Newton Dock or not?

Also, it says on the wiki that the Halsey theory is disproved as the UA did not react while following the route. This doesn't disprove the Halsey theory, the UA would do nothing, Halsey is dead now so no-one would send the BOOM command.

I think we need to think on the whale noise as the clue...as frontier has said "we are over thinking it".

I know a collector drone has been used to ahh collect a ua but anyone know if other drones have been used on them, prospector or fuel transfer , i didnt notice anything in the wiki.
Only reason i ask is this:

https://d2pq0u4uni88oo.cloudfront.net/projects/1914733/video-563054-h264_high.mp4

It seems jean luc piccard it helping collect whale snot using drones, it cant be just a coincidence surely first nimoy now jean luc.

By the way, never actually used a drone so not sure how they work...so please excuse me if i'm talking nonsense.

Print him/her out, get a small frame and you can stick it on your desk at work or the mantelpiece or something. :)
