Please remember that it is never the T9 that is lost from the convoy.
It is not the one with the UA that miss jumps.
We need to test with drive slaving if we are to do this right.
The ideal test is as follows:
One wing og three Condas and a T9 with the UA.
All wing members slave their drive to the same Conda.
Start hyper space jump from normal space (not super cruise).
Repeat until the wing leader Conda is sent to Raxxla, Liaququ or the dark server for griefers.
It's not going to hapen is it :-/

If you shut off your cargo hatch, it can't malfunction during power disturbutor failure. Just a tip if you happen to pull a Mr. Tree and find a new one
Well I didn't know that. Detailed surface scanners never ever degrade, I found that out.
Lol I'm in Timocani right now. I think it's pretty unlikely but if I'm not looking I'm not gonna find one am I.
Agreed! I already said this a while ago. I added it to the testing section on the wiki too.
Just adding my voice to the idea that Kerrash is telling us that regardless of what happens, the truth will out in the end. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.
But then, I am quite inebriated
I tried to rep derthek who said the same on the last page, but the Wi-Fi here is too unreliable for that post-back to work on the page, it would seem.
Edit: got rep to work, at last - 1up derthek

What ever they're making detailed surface scanners out of they should start making cargo hatches with.

Still he didn't say wether we get cookies or not if we find out earlier...

More like:
"because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know."

Additional theory here. If it's been posted already my search didn't turn up anything. But I doubt it's new to you gents who have been going at this for a long time. Just wanted to post since it's my current take based on all the work you've all done. Big round of applause to all you Commanders who are working to crack this nut.

Since the UA's are always present in convoys, we know they are either being picked up at the locations we jump into, or they are in transit.
The intercepted coms chatter states "this mission [...] I asked what this thing was [...] I got told was don't ask". We can imply that they have been tasked to retrieve the UA. So the Feds & Imps would have to had known the regions of space where to look for the UA's, since we have no evidence to say that they knew the actual pin-point locations.
But since they knew what regions of space to look in, someone in the military structure would have had to have known they were there. Unless the UA's were discovered by chance by the Imps/Feds. If that is the case then any theory people have proposed regarding them can be valid. But FD say we're missing the obvious and that it is solvable? So...
If the Feds/Imps military knew what regions to look in, then they knew these devices were there, and tasked pilots to retrieve them. The UA clearly knows its location, given that it is giving off "morse" signals transmitting its general location.
If the Feds/Imps know what to listen for, and are somehow able to track this signal from further distances than we can, then they could pinpoint UA locations and send out retrieval teams. Or the retrieval teams know what signals to listen for when searching for UA's.
If they don't already know the exact locations of the devices, then they have some way of tracking down these devices that we don't have access to at the moment.
Now, this next bit is pure theory:
If the UA's were not an accidental discovery, and their presence was known, and since they are giving off a signal that CMDR's have partially decoded (so information that is intelligible to humans), could these devices be containers for the Mycoid virus?
Then Perhaps they were left in space to deter the Thargoids from returning to our space, or to infect any Thargoids should they return.
And maybe the virus has mutated as is now affecting humans, so teams are being tasked to retrieve them before outbreaks get out of control.

Indeed. =/
As far as I know no one has typed morse code into open comms next to the UA. Given what karresh has said we could try "unlock"
..- -. .-.. --- -.-. -.-
However with the amount of available UA reduced we may just have to wait and see.
The UA is looking for a place to live. If it causes it causes a miss jump for a ship it's not even in, it does no help it much.
It should be possible to find a home for it as well.
I think we got to jump in and around the UA, it knows where it is, which it would need to know if it was going to send us somewhere.
Perhaps what we need to do is deploy the UA, keep our speed to zero and charge the FSD drives until they are overloading, an then jump just at the right as the UA sound like it discharging.

Safety? Maybe Safety is the keyword? In the new "hint"?
Anyone tried flight assist off and different actions while it is off??
Edit:
maybe with this combined?
Maybe we can use it as a compass somehow if your guess is right.
There's an Antares system. Some1 check it, please! Time's limited, we gotta do all we can!
From what I read Antares was a permit-bound system 2 months ago. Might be a good spot to visit with a UA? Also has a giant star.

Well i been asking for someone to do something similar to this for a few months now and no one has done this.
I like the Charging FDS drive idea. Thats something new to try.
I think on aug 9th we are getting toegther a bunch of people to do a search for a UA to do test like this. We could just add the FDS charging ship.
I will edit this to give link to post about the get together hunt.
