Yes I've done it nearish to a star before.
I have also been lurking around these threads without really contributing much, but if you want wild suggestions I'll drop some...
Anyone tried to have purified water in theire hold together with it?
If you look at the icon for the UA it might resemble a bit like an Ocellus star port. Perhaps if you eject it close to one something will happen?
Also, the sounds and lights might resemble something like an FSD charging up, with a countdown inbetween. How about ejecting the UA, then have someone be close to it, and when the lights and sound go off, fire up the FSD without targeting anything? (Need 2 testers for that one so the remaining guy can scoop it up when nothing happens.)
Again... wild idèas are wild...

have you guys tried to fuel it with fuel transfer limpets alredy?
Limpets and collector drones were all added recently, after 1.3. The UA and its mystery exists from very long before.
but hatch-breaker already existed before
You guys? So what are you then? As you've been making suggestions too.
Well that's reason enough for me to keep searching.
Hey Tree or Rat!
If you have time this weekend, could one of you kindly type either
- .... .- .-. --. --- .. -..
or
.-. .- -..- -..- .-.. .-
into local chat with the UA floating in normal space?
these words translate into "Thargoid" and "Raxxla" respectively. Click here to find a website that will allow you to translate english into morse if you come up with any better ideas. Thanks for your time
p.s. try not to insult it, or we will blame you for the impending war.

I have been following this thread and decided to put some more effort into searching for Starship One (or what is left of her). I reread all the relevant Galnet stories and one of them suggested that the debris could be scattered in interstellar space. This reminded me of the time I went searching for Voyager 1 many months ago so I decided to go find Voyager 1 again to refresh my memory on the mechanics of finding objects far from a star. I remember the last time I searched it was easy to find them, there was simply a point marked in space without a label over 2 million light seconds away, the only trick was you had to be looking in the right direction to notice them. But the last time I searched for the Voyagers I didn't pay attention to details like at what range does the waypoint became visible, was it listed in the navigation panel, was it visible in normal space or only supercruise, etc. So I returned to Sol to gather this information in case we are supposed to use the same mechanic to find Starship One wreckage. I thought this was a genius plan but when I arrived on the outskirts of the Sol system I could not find the probes. Have the mechanics changed for finding these things? Has anyone seen them lately? Have they made them more difficult to locate? Do you have to get closer before the waypoint shows up? If they have changed the mechanic for locating distant secret objects this could be very relevant to the search for Starship One. Alternatively, I am just having an off night and am missing something obvious.
Nobody is ever going to try my idea
In your poll what place did let one explode get?
Again my idea is to do a full controlled test of one recorded in detail finishing the life process.
Something happens at the final stage but we dont have a detailed recording.
The voyagers appear to have vanished. This has been brought to EDs attention - they say they are looking in to it. There is speculation about whether (or not) this is something to do with UAs.
So far no one has been able to find the Voyagers as of late, they just seemed to have dissappered, it's been reported on the forums to just have a member of staff say thanks and nothing more, we don't know if it's a bug or an game thing that was meant to have happened.
From what I hear the probes are actually missing from the game as of 1.3
Depending how tight your Tinfoil Hat is, this could mean one of two things:
1. The probes are missing by design and have been kidnapped
2. The 1.3 patch was poorly implemented are not very well tested.
It's honestly hard to say, even for a tinfoil enthusiast like myself

We know that the UA transmits morse.
We also have people here that are fluent/can hear morse.
The UA appears to transmit the nearest object in system, be it outpost planet star etc.
There are a number of objects, systems or other things in elite that we have either been unable to find, have gone lost, or are missing in some way.
Several times its been mentioned that the UA transmits the nearest human designation in morse.
How do we know that is true??
Our bearers have been doing some pretty exhaustive testing. Each day we have several video/sound clips posted here documenting that.
Have our members that translate morse been verifying that the expected audio from the UA is infact what we are getting??
What if the UA actually says 'space whales here' or 'raxxla' and not what we expect in certain cases.
I bring this up, because i have been following this thread for ~350 pages, and if verification is being completed of each clip (be it video or sound) it is not obvious.
Certainly there are translations that have taken place, but is someone translating, or atleast verifying the morse of each clip to sound correct?
We have been told to listen to them, and have determined that they transmit morse. Now that we have that, are we really listening to what they have to say?

Yes! The UA has 12 tea caddies and the top contains a tea pot and a rather nice set of bone china tea cups.
I've been doing that most dangerous of all activities.........thinking....
Where do the Feds get the UAs?
Not in space - they degrade really quite quickly and the chance of finding one before it degraded must be quite small.
So they must come from a station - not an outpost coz T9s can't land at outposts.
If we draw a line along the route the convoy takes, then extend it backwards, we should get a rough idea of the direction of the station.
If we look at the amount of degradation of the T9s cargo hatch when first seen, and given that we know (roughly ) the rate of degradation, we should be able to get a rough calculation how long the T9 has had the UA on board.
If we assume a fairly standard T9 configuration we can get a bit of an idea how far it can jump.
If we then put all of these magic assumptions together, we will probably get..........something utterly useless.
Anyone feel like wasting a few hours of their valuable time?????
