Ok, Docked with UA on board in an Anaconda... The UA cannot be equipped in any way, made the screen "Shimmer" when ecm used (May be ECM) I have vids and will

What tests are in need of doing ?
 
Sorry if this sounds a bit stupid. I seem to remember someone at FD saying something about people over-thinking this. If there is a whale song, maybe it might have an interaction with the currently most useless ship in the game, the Orca. Maybe just carrying it gives a super long range, or perhaps it can be outfitted someway?

About the wings thing someone got going. The T9 is heavily defended and I think the wings are only supposed to encourage teamplay during getting one of these UAs.
 
Can't agree more.

I know - two quotes agreeing with the same person; not deliberate!

Morse knowledge points towards human involvement or a sentinent creature that has been in contact with humans.

There are hundreds of million humans that has left known space some way or another. Most in bubble ships.

Of non humans, only Thatgoids and some dolphins know human language.

Any sentinent alien or animal that has been in contact with one of the above mentioned may have knowledge of Morse code.
 
This is so surreal... all four looking at the artefact n don't know what to try. ...

But we did try sciencing it with everything but lazors.

ECM does nothing. No amount of pinging randomly with advanced scanner does anything.

The wonky "spacetime effect", i'd say, comes from the foggy particle effect, which seems separate from the sparkles.

Also, sparkles die off before the fog when UA is scooped.

Methinks it's a container for something someone doesn't want to lose. Like tiny alien squid babies.

E: did anyone ever listen to a ship's scanners for morse?

If you guys are still in a wing, can the UA carrier jump to an adjacent system, drop out of supercruise and drop the UA, to see if it shows up as some sort of long-range jump beacon for a wing? Should be a quick, easy and non-destructive test. One or more of you stay behind in your current system to check.

Random thing we haven't analyzed yet: Why does the cloud blur things out? What if it makes us see things that weren't there the first time we looked?

But generally, by the time we were flying around in space as a race, we did not communicate using Morse. Only very specific things did by that time. I don't think it would have been as widespread or common as you think. Even the Federal Blink Code in the lore was done with ship lights, not radio IIRC. In which case the old probes, old Morse transmissions picked up from Earth, or perhaps a Federal Blink Code transmission would seem to be the three most likely and common sources by the time humanity was spacefaring.
 
Of course Nav Beacons and stations poke a hole in my statement above. Dooh.

OK, here is ridiculous theory #13765436 without any evidence whatsoever - what if the Antares misjumped to somewhere near an alien species, and sent SOS calls in Morse?
 
There is something else in the audio, its not the purrs, howls or the chittering. It looks like morse, there is some kind of structure but i cannot interpret it. If its morse it is modified some way (not the way the chittering differs from plain morse, at least thats consistent :( ) It cant be noise, its present on all recordings and it stays when sap 8 is (theorized to be) "clearing up" the audio from the UA. I tried making a picture of the spectrum but its clearly audible. There are obvious highs and lows but some of them sound warped/odd. My theory is that the odd ones are some kinds of "doublets" or "triplets", but i cannot figure it out.

Anyone got an idea of how to interpret or have done some work on these?

Happy to try ! Do you want to wing with us ? In Mobius
 
Titan isn't airless though. It's got an atmosphere and oceans of hydrocarbons is it not that way in ED?

I know. I hit like that it has a liquid methane ocean called 'Kraken Mare'. :)

I think it would be nice if the UA did a tour de Sol, with drops at all untested bodys.

then how did the UA learn the other letters of the Alphabet? :D and how id it know which letters each beep corresponds to?

Lazors can nevervbe overdone.

I would like to propose a series of sciencing:

Lazor it.
Plazmagun it.
Railgun it.
Torpedo it.
Also, cannon it just in case it has problems understanding more modern kinds of science.

we should try each power's weapon. you never know! ;P

Thanks, but I'm 10,000LY out in the Formidine Rift, not sure I could help much - although that would be an interesting test if it was a system to system beacon!

I think you should likely start small with two systems next to each other. ;-)
