Generally I'd say there's far too many assumptions, and we have theories based on these assumptions coming out of our ears.

Nobody here knows that the UA is going to be explained tomorrow, therefore there is no "coincidence".


We have a scarcity of facts - so all we have are assumptions/theories - we've tried to prove lots of them - but all we've done is disprove everything we've tried.

The process of gaining knowledge about things in general is to make an assumption - then test it. Quite often the person who figures out how to test an assumption is not the same person who thought of the theory. Some times (in science) a theory is proven or disproven many years later.

So I think - Bring on the theories...and bring on ways to test them.
 
Uhhh what about it?

Im just running with the Sirius survey systems .... Of the outposts - COL 285 WA-L b9-3 is being a little tough to find - b9-0 through b9-5 are all in roughly the same place .... except for b9-3 ...... Currently sitting at a sirius outpost at Te Kaha ... was it reanamed to this ???

OK but that's not what I was saying. You were making an assumption, using that to make another assumption and then calling it too much of a coincidence and therefore the assumptions must probably be true!

Theorizing based on assumptions is fine, but all passing those assumptions off as fact does is mislead people, and actually just serves to shut down other theories that might not fit with the assumption.

You may have misread my comment - it started with "If the UA is going to be explained tomorrow (if)" Thats 2 IFs. That should indicate a fair amount of uncertainty. Nowhere did I say this is probably fact - nor did I try to pass it off as fact.

The rest of my comment is obviously speculation - I pointed out ONE possible interpretation - and said it seems an odd coincidence - thats all. Everyone else - even you - is welcome to their own theories.
 
Hi all not truly related but this was in the galnet today.

Everyone onboard the shuttle was killed including Sean Richards, a senior consultant engineer who helped to compile the incident report on the recent disappearance of Starship One. Richards had also formed part of the task force some 50 years earlier with the Antares enquiry.

It is just a small thing to note the feds are killing of anyone who knows the truth??????

Maybe.....but was it The Feds or Sirius Corp or INRA or Thargoids or????? thats IF it was sabotage and not an accident.
 
Has anyone scanned unexplored systems, and planets with the Detail surface scanner, while having the UA in the Cargo hold? or also try it while it is out. Than see if you get more credits for the data or if something happens. Also what does the UA sound like in an unexplored system (one that you have no System Data for). Will it still send the morse code of the system? If it was made by Sirius than it is easy to assume it has something to do with exploring and the data from it.
It could be a type of scanner. They send them out and let them scan systems collecting the data from it.
 
Funny thing is we know that people , rarely but have, crashed using the Docking computer so it is plausibly an accident if we go by that.
I mean it isn't unheard of in the lore and in the game so it doesnt scream sabotage.

And even then, I favour the Political side of the motives.
Then Cogressman Hudson, Admiral Vincent and their henchmen engineer military failures for the Halsey, the VP gets assassinated, then the President and new VP go missing in a mis jump, on a tour leading up to the Federal Constitutionally Mandated Half Term Vote of confidence and then the investigator in the accident gets knocked off. In the Mean time Congressman Hudson is now el Presidente and Vincent will get a Pilot training program from CQC, No conscription today, we'll wait until we have CQC champions to draft first.

No need for a UA/Alien sub-thread in there

Agreed. Other than as someone (thing?) to blame for the assassinations if the "truth" starts coming out. And it could easily be two separate story lines, but the way they are hitting us over the head with the Sirius sledgehammer, and Kerrash stating essentially that it will somehow be "unlocked" tomorrow (and Sirius requiring a permit, remember) seems perhaps to indicate otherwise. In the end all it has done is sent us chasing our tails again and postulating endlessly, particularly those of us without UAs or the time or inclination to look for one, assuming we were within 10,000LY of where they are spawning, which I am not.

Edit: You know, the whole CQC thing just struck another potentially nasty chord.
In T. James' book Out of the Darkness, the secret human/Thargoid research station at Peregrina was experimenting with drugs and pilots and ship tactics with the assistance of one of the Thargoid factions (Oresrians) to aid them in their fight, and humanity's eventual fight, against the other Thargoid faction (Klaxians). Could CQC be intended to function the same way? Train Fed pilots not to fight the Empire, but to fight the "greater alien threat"? It almost fits with that storyline the more I think about it. Except FD won't give us drugs, which I would need if I were to ever even try CQC.

Ok So how do you guys feel about dark systems

I can't find COL 285 WA-L b9-3

Im at Te Kaha a sirius system near by where it Should be and this is on their news board

siriusTeKaha.jpg

It says a Neighboring system ....

here is the Cartographics map :
siriusTeKaha2.jpg

Does anyone with a UA feel like humoring me and coming down here - see if COL 285 WA-L b9-3 shows up on your list of available destinations ?

Any ideas ?

Edit: Clavin has convinced me they just changed the name .... You think something like that would be on the local news feeed tho

Has anyone tried shooting one?

I've checked over the various threads/wiki couldn't see if anyone had and thats about as un-overthinking as I can get.

They probably renamed the system when Sirius expanded and created an outpost there. This happened a couple of other times (the CG that allowed people to choose a system for an exploration base, for example).

Sirius corporation has virus software that can overload hyper drives. They once destroyed the Emperors yacht this way.
They can basically destroy any ship with their drives at will.

Speculation......

If (IF) ED is trying to point us towards Sirius Corp and if (IF) tomorrow is the end - that could imply that there is one definitive test we can do (involving Sirius Corp) that will solve the mystery......

But what?
