I did take it Quy/Quiness - https://youtu.be/C2xM5o7YyqM?t=21m44s (sorry, no in-game sound because of recording weirdness & my terrible voiceover). Quy looks nothing like the sub-polar perfect-Thargoid planet it was described as in F:FE. The sound there didn't seem any different to me & the Morse was short, so I'm assuming it was Quy.

Cool, did not know that, must have missed it or if I did I forgot. Too bad we can't confirm the Morse there wasn't something like "Home" ;-)

One of the Convoys I came across last night had Antiquities on board
They are nothing related are they?

Nope, just good for selling somewhere. ;-)

Looking at the Quy/Quiness video, I am starting to wonder if the next step may not be just dumping the thing on a waterworld somewhere once planetary landings come along.

Antares Incident is in Galnet again today - why do they keep going on about that? Is it just because Starship One had an old jump drive that malfunctioned? Or did the passengers of the Antares survive somewhere, settle, make contact with aliens, and have sent back these alien hybrid UAs to let us know they are still around?

And this article recycles some of the FFE journals, which indicates that at least some (if not all) of those are considered canon for ED. Interesting...

The news are starting to fortify one of my ideas... It might be nothing more than a lost UA if made carelessly, thats why I neglected to mention this idea...
The news is speaking about "Drive failure"... What if all we have to do is jump from A to B while the FSD is nearly broken or broken while we have a UA on-board? ofc a broken FSD means that we cannot jump anywhere from the said moment... but what if we can? thanks to the UA! Its a bit of a fuzzy idea, but it could be worth a try if someone acompanies the vessel to make sure the UA stays safe, even if the other person has to self-destruct. It also mentions the fact that these were colossal ships, maybe it'd be worth sacrificing some money to try this in an Orca or Anaconda.

Sorry Mr Rat, Sir I've not kept up with all the results and conclusions..... I mean with all the work done you'd have thought something in a concrete direction would have been noted as positive by now. Yes each failure is in its own way a successful step. Maybe my last theory about the whole thing was right......but then again....a job test?

Oh.....sorry I didn't see my text being in caps :s I can't just say done also due to needing 8 characters in my posts.

Kind of expecting that to be the answer but...

Having checked the Wiki and with Bitstorm, the latter suggested that the relevant test may have been done by (yourself) RatKing and Nilreb. Or perhaps somebody else. (In any case, perhaps it is known by another commander.)

Has a test been done to see if a UA jettisoned in normal space (possibly some distance from another body to avoid masking) registers to a test-partner in supercruise using a System Scanner?
Reason: the criteria for the CG hunt for Starflight One debris was to honk away with one's System Scanner in search of gravitational anomalies. If an Unknown Artefact deployed in normal space registers to a Honk by a test-partner cmdr in supercruise then... well.. yeah, that could be sexy. (Handwavium vs 1t of UA not sucking in a Bearer's ship like a gravity plug-hole..?)

On the misjump stuff. I have been trying to do this for the last 3 days. Literally spent hours jump jump jump jump jump jump with a countdown timer and nothing. I'm not saying it's not possible, but if it is there's a bit of a puzzle on the speficis of how to do it.

Also if a misjump is triggerable I don't think a UA is required, you can damage systems by breaking out of supercruise or have someone pew pew modules or find some toxic waste - in other words I think anyone can test if this mechanism exists.

Was the Roman numeral theory debunked?

VID8 possibly being V1500 Orionis (which has a class L8 star), HIP 54998, or HIP 65008?

I'm leaning towards V1500 Orionis, just because it is a noisy system (when selected in the galaxy map), and sparkles of the UA remind me of the cluster of stars in the region.

There are two V1500 Orionis systems in the game, one has only M5 star and the other has M5 & L8 stars.

Could they be trying to tell us that there IS a way to do a misjump?

The final report indicated that it was most likely caused by the unlucky failure of a single component during the start of the jump, causing a small fire in a key part of the drive that resulted in a massive explosion and consequent misjump at the same time.

Funny thing - I was trying randomly to do that yesterday. Maybe the UA helps cause misjumps ..... Which components is it damaging most ????

Edit: also says


The final safety report into the incident found there were insufficient safety precautions within the internal drive systems

Will have to check if this is player submitted or not ...



Edit again ... ha ya this thread goes too fast for me - sorry

The FFE story is used a lot as basis for the current story.
Ref. The Lavigny familly, Aislings mother, Antares and so on.

There is a hint in the journals (KIDNAP 1-4) that propelling a to large mass into hyper space will make some space-time mishap.

Maybe a T9 was added to the wing for some reason? ;-)

could it be as simple as this?

take it from a Fed T9 and put it in a CMDR T9?

I was in bernards star last night trying to get the sol permit. There were many halfinuim convoy. I must have found about a dozen in less than an hour.
