Errrrmmmmmm Oppsssssss !!!!!!

The biscuit barrel is no more ! Trying to get my conda close to have a look and it bounced off the shields and went POP ! :-( Sub Cmd Outspan (Aka Wife) is having a fit and shouting at me :-(
However did the following tests

Fuel drone wont lock and launch so nothing
Prospector drone wont target and lock on and couldn't hit it with one
Refinery Bin on board scoped back up and no effect so scratch that one
Last night did Orca testing
Sensors, discovery scanner etc...........

Arrg that's a shame sorry to hear that.

Your wife games with you?..........I married the wrong woman. (In that way only BTW.....just in case she reads this *cough*)
 
Lol check this out. His cmdr name on the reddit was changed from his name to this:

20150810_110113.jpg

He's been banned.

So the part where he says "just my speculation" is not clear enough for you? https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDange..._solve_the_unknown_artifact/ctxtcof?context=3

No, not at all.

First that's another reddit thread, where he is speculating about what he thinks the UA could be. And it's because he doesn't know what is it, for sure.

But the part about the SHAPE, in the other thread, is very different.
So I repeat it: he knows just a bit of information, then he speculates on it.

BTW you are right: we cannot take it as canon for sure ;)

I think in future it's probably worth having someone with a bit of experience pick these up.

Ideally they should go into storage if possible, perhaps on a second account?

Not being funny but if a big group of people have all contributed time and effort to a cause then it's not really fair to go messing round and lose it within a few hours because you're not up on the dangers. Yes I know accidents do happen but accidents are all too common with UAs and pretending they don't happen is going to result in repeatedly wasting everyone's time.

Yes she does, has done for years, even the original Elite on the Atari many moons ago (giving away how long we've been together, what can I say but I'm a luck man :) )
 
How many plague systems have there been? If it's 12, that'd be interesting.. one per "pod" on the side of the UA. I wonder if we look at the plague systems in groups of 3 (they're announced in 3s) is there any pattern?

(Yes, I know we have nothing to indicate the UA is connected to Cereberus, but I'm just joining the UA up with whatever's current in Galnet. Next up - what's the connection between UAs and Bugblatter Pie recipes?!? Meat is meat..)
 
Feeling a little despondent sat docked in my cobra, even the monkeys have stopped typing. As I sit in this station the morse is taunting me, anyone know if the morse within stations is generally different to the UA's broadcast in the same system?
 
Can we please just ignore reddit. It stinks so bad my mouse gets dirty just clicking on a link.

I'd love too, but people keep bringing up the same speculative posts by this individual over and over again like its the gospel truth or something. Plus Murp has gone astray and must be brought back into the biscuit fold.

Sorry but I'm gonna say something similar to what was said earlier, the original poster knows who he is.

Simply put - unless it comes directly from an FD employee then I don't trust it at all, and I wish all the 2nd/3rd/2^32 hand cr@p would just stop.

I'm not interested in some random drunk no-mark ambassador's speculation based on something he, or she, reckons they've been told or 'extracted'.

It contributes nothing positive, because it can't be substantiated. And it could be argued the very fact that he reckons the 'shape is important', and that's more than Kerrash has said - given they're both likely under the same NDAs - then the trustworthiness of this person is by definition suspect.

^^^^^^

Been banging my head against the desk most of the morning.

I almost posted in that Reddit asking the guy in his "look at me!" AMA to please just shut his mouth on anything UA related because he's really not helping, in fact he's doing more damage than good.

I'm sorry :(

Tthanks for the Refinery and Orca test.
Btw I wonder if you did a video of the Orca test, because I'd like to listen to it myself, expecially for the VID 8 morse code that most of you are not able to hear well, while I hear it perfectly.
I wonder if something changed in that particular sound whit the Orca listening to it.
I hope you listened to the UA from inside your Orca as well.


Yes ... uploading now sorry it's a big file don't have an editor on this machine. Starts around 15 minutes into the Vid. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6qsf525u5cc1z8n/AAAjajIzhxbJPeLmFN4kk2Ksa?dl=0
 
I'm pretty fresh to this whole thing, so forgive me for being off the major lines of enquiry.

The blue flashes I saw in this amonia world video remind me of the blue lightning effects from a capital ship jumping in, seen here. Could this link the device to witchspace (which we know the thargoids are quite adept at using to their advantage).

And I know this might sound like heresy, but has anyone just shot one of these things? Laser fire, mining laser, kinetics, etc. ?

Again, apologies if this is all off topic. I'm trying to come up with some rather simple concepts here.

Yes it's been shot and shout at, all the way...

welcome aboard m8y

Tinfoil hats are on the left

We don't have enough UAs to test all the weapons but mining lazors and a few normal lazors have been tried. The issue is that we lack any precedent to try a weapon as nothing would indicate that kind of action.
