Okay first the jumps it'll take are dependent on system distance and jump range which mine is 21.53 ly which means that it takes 3 jumps to do it which I've just done though it's 50.55ly from me. So I'm struggling to see the point of jumping the 50ly....and why while not in a wing as that leave me exposed to pirating.....?

The FFE version of the Cerberus plage was called Sohailian fever. It was a mix of three rapidly mutating organisms.
It was made by the imperial navy, to spesificaly target humans and not androids.
Edit: it spread by accident in contaminated grain.

Yes knowles, I know that very well, we've talked about it already, but follow me:
There are scientists telling us that there is a Phage causing a Plague, and people are dying.
Then they described it and it resembles the UA very well.
Why we should think that it's a cure? The easiest thing is that's the cause. Occam.
@ Nijahat
In this clip you will hear chipping from two locations.
One is whilst travelling in hyperspace between a system, I have two in the clip (one near the beginning and the other at the end) -- (note it is quiet but it is there, starts around 33 seconds in).
The other is from the sun.

I don't know if I had a UA on board at this time but as I was hunting for one, I would say that I didn't have one.

But (as I said) there is a cargo duplication bug that means that it's possible to replicate UAs so it only actually takes one. FD know the bug exists, so they'd be taking a big risk in having the UA trigger an effect that could be abused via that bug.
We have pretty much taken one, or tried to take one, everywhere we thought there had been some sort of Thargoid presence in past games (Polaris, Quy, Merlin, Sol, Achenar, one or two other places I think as well that escape me at the moment, including a world that the Thargs were supposedly terraforming and several ammonia atmosphere worlds). There was a Thargoid shipwreck in the Pleiades I believe in a previous game (can't remember the planet), someone checked the system out but without a UA.
Edit: And there is no clear evidence yet that the UA is even Thargoid in origin.

Around 4:50+ ( problem is tat at this speed vlc loses position very often when you rewind position - so it can be some seconds before and after)
Make as slow as you can , VLC showed me 0.12 , put max bass , put double pass.
At some point you hear sound typical to some announcement , you can get at some bus or train station - (bad example : windows start sound) - and then you hear someone speaks.
Vlc is very bad to use it , but probably someone have better software , and more time to time it.

I was one of the first to ask those kind of destructive tests, back in the days, but I've always understood the reticence of the UA bearers.
For me the Plague is still the best lead we have.
The Heike tea didn't change anything: it is just a cure not the cause. And if I would be FD, I'd add a cure at some point, just to avoid the Plague to spread all over the Universe, while we were still finding a solution...
I didn't propose a test, I just proposed they may be related.
This seems to bear a resemblance to old-school riddles; the more you think about it the more complex it becomes.
I realise I'm not posting anything to push us in the right direction, but it seems like this search has become really weird and abstract. I've been following it intently for a while and not posting.
If the conclusion has already been almost reached in the previous thread, then we should be scouring it and re-evaluating what we know, rather than looking for innovative new solutions (not that that's a bad idea).
I mean no disrespect, as I alluded to in my previous post. I am not an authority, just trying to lend an idiot brain to the cause.

Using collector limpets can be slower depending on how you are with scooping and how many limpets you can send out at once.
The NPC's appear no matter where you are though it's not been tested if they do appear out of civilisation but I think I did recived the NPC's wanting cargo while in an Unpopulated system....
It was a bug and I have contacted frontier to report it which they did then said to try to avoid causing/doing it.
so someone said:
What if the epidemic is because a few commanders sold UA at that stations?
and the guy who was with frontier said:

Not sure how many retorts of yours I agree with, but it's probably all of them - had I been able to I'd have been saying exactly the same. Flat out of rep.
Test one is whilst docked hopefully or else in open space. Just trying to rule out that it's a FSD enhancer, that is that the UA could allow the bearer to travel in new ways and further than their normal solitary jump range. Your jump range with a UA might be say 75 LYs instead of 21.53 LYs in a solitary leap (not a sequential skim of jumps). Just plucked the 50 LYs as I believed it would be more than the ships normal single jump range, I realise that I wasn't clear that it wasn't a series of leaps. This is a simple idea from very little evidence I know, as it negates the lovely shape, sounds and emissions of the UA.
Yes please!
You can take over for this afternoon, I have to get some work done! ;-)
OK, so how does this bug work exactly? Is there a consensus amongst Canonn not to use it? This brings up a multitude of questions..... I thought it was fixed....
Why doesn't everyone who wants one has one already? Whey doesn't every destructive test is finished and done with? etc etc
Thx Wishblend... I'll get back to you if I get any other ideas.
At the moment I am exploring deep space at and beyond 600 AU away from stars... because that is at this distance the first LRA was found in the old Elite lore
So far UAs have only been found inside federal ships... I am hoping to find something floating around freely... maybe?

Hope you find one. That would answer one of the three big question:
- Where are they found?
- What is it?
- What can it do?
I've never tried to trigger the bug deliberately but it's happened accidentally often enough that I have a very good idea how. But I'm not going to detail it because it is an exploit. There is a consensus not to use it.
Anyone got a link to Elite:Meet Q&A?
I just want to check some of the answers.

I use 5 collectors (5A / 3A controllers) it's fast. Really fast.
As a side note, can you guys access my videos? Is there any problem with the dropbox links?

(I've put them in dropbox, so someone - Bitstorm? - can include this in their YT lists so we can have everything in one place, but let me know if it's a hassle and I start up a YT acc for them)
Ah, yeah pirate NPCs are common, but I have dealt every kind in my combat setup (which I have on at the moment) and there will be others around as well, so I'm not concerned. Not sure if you've met the magic security NPC, who drops in with you to every normal space instance ever, shoots at you without scanning, overrides your interdictions, so it's him and not the ship you 'dicted in normal space, follows you to a station and keeps shooting with impunity even when you're inside (doesn't come inside, just through the letterbox if he can get aim). Also keeps shooting at you when you're docked on the outside of an outpost. I thought you were worried about that guy
Ah, that kinda answers my prev quetsion about the bug... so there's a consensus and we're not duping them because FD asked us to play nice.

Thanks! OK then, painful search it is!
