Ah! And we are still waiting for someone to listen to the UA from an Orca. Desperate as we are, it seems to me that now it's the right moment to try it, finally.
Still pending...

My grandad (God bless him) suffered greatly from piles. Whenever he sat down it sounded very much like parts of the ua.
His name was Leonard

This association is about as valid as the whole whale theory.
 
typing morse into open comms is just about the most simple test we can do

seeing as the UA speaks morse i would have thought that grounds enough to try

God bless him indeed.
You could be even right, if only one of the thousand mad theories we've been through here had succeded ;)
Tell that to Han_Zen, if thou dare :D
He is training Whales an Leviathans to sing like the UA! And I respect him for being here since the beginning. Like me.
 
I wondered if dark systems were in or not as the book 'and here the wheel' said about dark systems a lot..........also guys again I must ask but what do we have to say that the UA isn't some kind of beacon or maybe computer core?

Even if it was...
We are still looking for the keyboard...
 
So did anyone ever test whether the UA sound intensity varies depending on which side you're listening to it? Maybe it's a beacon with a directional antenna :)

Can you message Ratking for me I would do it but was bad few weeks ago and not able to message people :) Plus my posts get huge delays:(

Its a simple test wouldnt take to long can do it any location.

I would try just typing The message "Per aspera ad astra" and "Through hardships to the stars"
Plus also type ".--. . .-. .- ... .--. . .-. .- .- -.. .- ... - .-. .-" and "- .... .-. --- ..- --. .... .... .- .-. -.. ... .... .. .--. ... - --- - .... . ... - .- .-. ..."

Also if you have a discovery scanner try blasting that after each test.

The discovery scanner sound blast is really close the the ship horn blast from the voyager morse code.

Thanks
 
Yes, it means something useless.
But you are welcome to find your meaning as well ;)

VID 8 or HIB 8 so far.

Not at all! Purrs? What purrs? No one tried, we've been here for 3 months singing songs and talking whale! :D

All right! Damn this thread is so full of things. I thought I was on to something great. Never mind then. xD
Has anyone tried looking for a system named "VID8" or "HIB8" while having the UA in the cargohold? I still think it's a two-layered message. I'm a stubborn guy!

VID8 brings up nothing. HIB8 Brings up various systems, which I have personally explored and found nothing.
 
This has probably been investigated already but has anyone seen these missions? Whatever the UA is for, i think it's safe to assume it has some cartographic use wtih the morse code.

Seen on Wikia. They seem to suggest the SAP8 containers might be some sort of map. Since there's an interaction between the SAP8 and the UA, maybe the SAP8 is where we'd need to start.

I'm a really late comer to this, but tonight I'll try and get my hands on some SAP8s, then try to go to this station.

Question - has anyone checked their galaxy map while holding either a UA or a SAP8? (or hell, maybe both?) I wonder if it might not silently add/modify the star systems.

it would be interesting to see if someone with a UA did those missions if it would change the mission. could be a clear reference to the UA (door / key / place reference).
But then again I think the mission requires ELITE status...
 
Interesting idea, but why computer core? Is there any evidence supporting that? And what would be the purpose if so?

--Edit--

Has no one tried bringing two UAs together yet?

Well a computer core could be a beacon in a way since it can translate data and output it. Also have you even checked the wiki?

Damn it! And sorry to post things that have already been discussed, just trying to bring new ideas but it looks like you guys have tried almost everything, hence the more "original" theories...

(PS: Have you tried these? (with UA in cargohold!) All right, all right, I'm leaving. xD)

The pace of the thread almost matches our deep seated wish to solve this. A great many creative ideas and tests, I applaud you all.

Keep seeing '3' mentioned though. So many references via so many angles, both lore and observation based.

Please tell me there have been three UAs dropped in the same instance, for my sanity's sake.

Just as an aside, the sound designers/coders deserve a massive pat on the back. We've been poring over the One True Hint ("Listen") from the start, and I never fail to be enchanted by the fully location based soundscape. It's a thing of beauty I shall continue to admire however this mystery plays out.

Tin foil hat time from an earlier and more recent observation - they're in the Scientific Outposts trying to get out. ;-)

3... like that famous TNG episode where they were stuck in a time loop that ended with the Enterprise colliding with the Bozeman and both ships getting destroyed.

Remember when Data started subconsciously manipulating everything so the number 3 would always show up? All because he thought Riker had the better idea on how to save the ship and his rank was 3 pips..

I wonder if it's something like that... the randomness..

I love this thread btw.

What about getting it to Gateway? Gate's can be unlocked, right? :p

Better yet what about looking for Klortho and Gozer? Maybe in the map?

This association is about as valid as the whole whale theory.

The sound of the UA is made up of the sounds from several different species of Whale.
That could be just to give it that spooky under water sound.

The Elite Leviathan is a fish. That makes the connection a bit of a stretch.

The UA it selfe looks organic even animalistic, but it does looks more reptile than mammal or fish.

The major strange thing is the missing Liaququ system.
It is listed with it's own description in the FE2 Gazetteer.
It is mentioned in the FE2 short story, Full Circle.
It is mentioned 6 times in the FFE news articles.
It is involved in one of the hand coded misions in FFE.

It's probably David Masseys favourite system and yet it's gone.
Things like that does nor happen by accident.
There is something fishy going on :)
