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).

Good point - Very Possible - but the other systems seem to have the same names ... HIP 8396, CAO Junga.

Right - but those are real star catalog names (or pre-existing lore-based names), not procedurally-generated names like COL Sector Xyz 123 or whatever.

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".

Yeah, ever since this started, we've been finding relevance/links between the UAs and every current Galnet story with any hint of mystery.

But as far as I'm concerned, bring us your tired.. analogies, your poor..ly thought out ideas, your muddled guesses.. ;) The more the merrier.

.


Don't forget the links between the UA and relevant/irrelevant books, films, mythology, theology, symbology, musicology, cryptology, astronomy, biology, ED lore, mayan calendars, and probably 1000 other ologies.....
 
It seems that the whole investigation process has stagnated into a series of recurring posts circling around the same things again and again and not getting anywhere.
Lots of talk, very little action. It also speaks volumes that no-one with a UA is prepared to try anything different for risk of losing it. I sense a growing tide of negativity in this thread because we've hit the metaphorical brick wall and have nowhere else to go.

SO... I'm going to step away from this for a while. If by some chance something happens with regard UAs, xenos and permit locked systems/regions tomorrow, then I'll come back to this.
No fresh UA directions, xenos or permits tomorrow? I'll go back to regular play.
 
Its a double stop!!!! thats when 2 notes are played at once - we must re-examine all UA sounds in the light of this new gem of knowledge!!!!!!

Or it is pointing to the Y, which is a clear indication of a branching path or choice that UA holders must make between now and tomorrow. Or it means he is secretly agreeing with himself.

Edit: Wait a minute - branching path, branch, branch is part of a tree, MrTree and Cmdr Branch! A tree is a plant! He is trying to tell us that they are the FD plants (or trees).

See ya, thanks for the useful contributions there, have a biscuit on the way out. ;-)

love your logic - flawless and flawed all at once.

First, WHO? used a period. Now, clavain uses a dash in his smily?

MORSE CODE HINTS CONFIRMED THEY MUST BE FD PLANTS

I think the dash is supposed to be a nose - its obvious really - he's saying HE KNOWS!

Personally I must say I find it _very _ suspicious that Zoltan just _happens_ to be away on vacation when all this goes down... ;-) ;-)

Edit: And is he _really_ on a beach in Turkey? Or could he secretly be in Cologne...

Sorry, not sure what you want us to do exactly? The risky things I see that are left are:

* Test the misjump theories, especially involving heat/system damage? RatKing & bitstorm both covered this one/posted videos here. If there was a problem with their methodology, point it out please. Otherwise, it's a dead end.
* Sell it at a random black market because a docking computer killed someone? The docking computer bugs out sometimes & crashes ships. Other than the single line at the end, we have no reason to believe it isn't similar to the Nevermore/Hudson Dock stories; why not use GalNet to give your game bugs a little lore? And nothing about that article gives any reason to sell what so far amounts to a piece of cargo.
* Let it die? Sure, I'd do it, if for no other reason than to finally stop everyone from asking it. Speaking of things that are repetitiously said over & over in the thread... Except I don't have the rig to record it in 1080p & I have no one (with a good rig) to wing up with to give it a proper recording. So it'd be a waste & everyone would grump about not having a good enough recording to analyze.

Am I missing something? The only other untested thing from the wiki is reproducing the convoy & I'm not in a position to be able to test that.
 
I think I just found an assumption that may not be true.....

We have been assuming that we have to do something with or to a UA to solve the problem.

I don't think we have ever had anything from ED to confirm that.....


Might not help....but might just jog a mind in a different direction....
 
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.

Who is the CEO of SIRIUS Corp, CMDR? And why is then this "Power" not the #1 ? :D :D :D

At least for the former VP a other corporation is named as suspect:

Happy further guessing CMDR's! :D

My last try today: check the direct line from LHS 3006 (LNS) behind California Sector HW-W C1-7 to find the source
for the UA in Wing 1.2 trailer -> nothing! Except this one:

Part of me hopes that tomorrow's announcement actually does (whether directly or implicitly) ring the bell on this comprehensively indeterminate mystery of the UAs.
Better for all parties, should the Big Reveal be somewhat dissatisfying, for it to be at least partly diluted and diffused by something 'colossal' and bringing 'fundamental change' to Elite.


All those millions of credits worth of scanners and we don't even have a metal detector or a chemical analysis of what's in our own ships.
An elusive 'Deep Throat'-style NPC might have been a nice touch sometime in the past 3 months, too.

Unless I missed something, that testing mostly focused around doing reboots while jumping.

Someone did test a jump with heat damage ongoing, but I don't recall it being above the second tier mark of. 150%, was more like 130 at the time of jump (unfortunately my flaky Internet means I can't double check the video easily). That's why I was suggesting above 200% to guarantee thereshould no dripoff on jump interfering.

Granted this is likely to be another moot point, as I've got nothing more than anyone else to back it up.
 
I have an audio question.

I'm trying to record audio from elite with audacity and I keep getting noise in my recordings. Even when recording silence there is noise in the playback. What am I doing wrong?
