That's surely an interesting observation. It all fits. I dont see where we are going with it tho'... Is there something we can connect the UA to? Is there a test to be performed?

Interesting connections!
The Cerberus plague seemed to be popping in groups of 3 (though that might simply be due to a limit in the Galnet UI, only being able to list buttons for 3 systems at a time at the bottom of a post), and the UA has 3 rows of pods. Maybe there's one pod per infected system.. so that's effectively a count-down. Maybe the UAs job is to isolate and destroy systems so they can be a beachhead for a future alien invasion..
Cerberus is guarding an entrance, and Kerrash's post referred to "unlocking". Hmm..
We could still try is to get a UA by shooting the T9's hatch then get far away from the T9 and see if it jumps away or not...

What about the Leviathan thing in the trailer? Wasn't that connected to mythology as well?

The Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes outlines the concept of social contract, that is to give away one's powers in order to achieve governance through an external entity which was to rule absolutely over the population. The obvious downside (hence the title) is that by surrendering one's freedoms you are obviously contributing to the creation of a power/state/government that if left uncheck will intrude into every aspect of society and life (sounds a bit like powerplay).
Another interesting parallel I'd say given all the political scurrying that the galaxy is witnessing.

Hehe nice summary! (a few minor inaccuracies tho =p)
It won't let me rep you, apparently I have to wait. Have some imaginary rep. =(
The 3:2 ratio is a new observation I think, hmmm.
But no conclusions to tests to be performed, was hoping there would be. =(

Aye they have!

I believe people who have say they just go around randomly, often repeating where they've been before, this is 2nd hand info, not done it myself.

Has anyone tried delivering to Leoniceno Terminal at Azaleach yet? I still can't find an artefact, but as soon as I do, this is my first stop.

I think i does in some way. We just don't get it :-/

This is why I always call it pseudomorse. It isn't exactly morse. But a morse construct wrapped around it is enough to generate a consistent alphabet. the "P" sound (which in normal morse is .--.) sounds nothing like the actual morse version of P (if 1, 2 and 3 are different symbols, then the linked "P" sounds more like "1233"). But I tried through numerous recordings to see if I was getting it wrong, but no matter how many I checked, where the "P" symbol should be was always the same.
A lot of my samples came from COL 285 SECTOR recordings (Thanks again Wishblend!), the first thing I needed to do for each of those recordings was rip the "COL 285 SECTOR" off the front to get to the actual letters I was after. It was always the same, always there and easily repeatable. But cases like this are why I couldn't take other recordings, assume they gave me a "dit" and a "dah" and go listening for those 'symbols', because there's more than just 'dit' and 'dah' in there, but they are still arranged in a way for a morse construct to fit in a recreatable way.
You could argue that there's actually a second possible encoding, but to have two different encodings sit on top of each other to produce two different messages, one encoding always producing the nearest system body, and the other, i guess, producing some sort of sensical output, would be damn hard, and, imo, well inside the realm of overthinking it.
Im sorry, no idea for tests
Maybe have Sol and Pluto lined up behind you and go ~25k ls out in that direction with the UA, this is where orcus "should" be. Its called "anti pluto" for this reason. I did this and did not find anything. There is a star ingame named orcus with all the stations named after astronomers with work related to the kuiper belt but i dont think its more than a homage to them.
I dont think any mechanics are in-game that will allow the UA to "trigger" something extraordinary happening if some certain conditions are met. Other than the backgrund simulation working within its parameters, the game universe is quite static and changes are in general done by hand by FD. I really have no idea what we should try to do next
(On the other hand, the SAP 8 seems manipulate the UA.) Btw what were the inaccuracies ?

I've been lurking on this thread for a while, but I think this is right on track. A while back, someone commented on the naming of the Formidine Rift and that it seemed to based on the Latin for "fear", and that earned a comment to the effect of that being an important observation. That seems to imply that the names are important here. The whole Cerberus/Hercules/Healer thing all fits too well to be coincidence, I think, and better yet, the connections were drawn via the same "pay attention to the names" thought process that earned some praise regarding the Formidine Rift.
I think the solution to this mystery is going to rely far less on trying to tease out codes from background audio, and more on making the proper connections regarding names, mythology, and literature.
If the solution to the whole thing is something obvious enough that a hint would unravel it all, the solution isn't going to be found in doubling down on morse code hunts or trying more random "unload it in system X" tests. It requires a basic rethink of the entire approach to the problem. In the end, if it's all tied in to names and mythology, it's going to look pretty obvious when looking back, and it would be really hard to offer a hint without giving it all away.
Ok people here in my present reality (at home) are actively discouraging me to the point where I'm stopping messing about with scrabble tiles..........
Still thinking the job theorem I suggested as a solution is holding its own.
Anyway back to the tiles, the message which came from Kerash, somebody who might know was
SUCCEED OR NOT, IT WILL UNLOCK
and the best I've come up with was, by using all the letters
CLUE, LISTEN INTO CLOUD WORK
I am quite happy to be getting a bit more time wasting done again here, but could it mean listen to the UA and it's morse signal when it's in a cloud? Ok it's time for my injections again......I can hear the guards coming for me again........message ends.

Just so everyone knows Kerrash repped this post, in case anyone has doubts
All this science to be done, and I'm just sitting here grinding for the Gunship.

not a record, but that person would be me. whats up? what do you want to know?
I've taken UAs there multiple (three?) times. I didn't sell it there but checked everything else I could think of (unidentified nav contacts, missions, sounds, contacts, etc.). Nada.
