By the glorious donation of Commander Furrycat I am now happy to report that Bob is the proud cargo-bay-mate of 3 pieces of SAP 8 containers. I won't let him get too comfy.

I'll upload some vids as they come.

Speaking of SAP 8 containers. Given we need more of them, where can they be found? Same SSS types as UA's can be located at? I might just have a look to see if I can find any
 
No, it's not the first time in months. During last Friday's big group jump-test, I recorded the UA with no purrs - https://youtu.be/ijfS799tu48?t=2m39s

That was out at 300m, fly in to <100m, the purrs & BG sound are back. It's a function of distance from the UA (& perhaps the number of sound emitters in a given distance).

Sorry Branch, but I know very well your video, and this one is completely different!

In this we have 3 ships almost touching the UA.

We already know that some sounds are audible just coming close to the UA and pointing to it, like the BG VID 8 noise sound, and the purrs, but they become all audible when close.

In the second video here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6qsf525u5....03.17.DVR.mp4
we have a Sleipnir like behaviour with even less purrs (ONE!). Just do a test with a wing of four, and all ships very close to the UA, and then we can talk ;)

And to the CMDR that suggested 12 ships close to the UA, I totally agree. But first 4, it's a lot easier... ;)

In the Sleipnir video there were at least 5 ships, yes, but not all were really close to the UA.

It should be the first thing to try immediately, in my opinion, as it is one of the few concrete discoveries we had among thousands of speculations...

Walden. Clones. Young Hengist like some kind of reincarnation of his still-living grandfather. Old (and Dead) Hengist killed by somebody matching the description of... oh, whatever the assassin's name was.
Call me crazy but I think there's something there, but a link to the UAs?
Call me even crazier but if there's only one mystery going on (or planned to blossom) in so sprawling a game as Elite Dangerous, FDev are missing more than one trick - and they don't strike me as people to miss opportunities or give themselves plenty of space to manoeuvre in.

Nice idea re the clones and assassinations. Agreed that there are multiple things going on (SS1/Antares/Sirius, Emperor's assassination, Walden, Cerberus Plague, UA, SAP-8, Soontil Relics etc.) and I think the more details are revealed on each the harder it is to tie it all together neatly in a bow, as the details don't fit well, or it would require a near-unbelievable complex and twisting overarching plot line that even INRA would find difficult to implement. Unfortunately there is just enough connections in some of them to make us think that maybe a couple are related, and which brings out the conspiracy theorists in all of us. Which is likely exactly the sort of plots and setting and player thinking that FD wants.

Edit: Of course the Empire has clones as well in the lore, so no need necessarily for Walden to be involved.

Yes but before Shinrarta Dezhra Lave was the seat of the Federation of Pilots during the time of the dictatorship... he had to have seen or been involved with some seriously shady things that reached deep into space.. perhaps with the Dark Wheel or who knows. Point is Lave isn't just some backwoods old world system. It has history and with it a ton of secrecy. We definitely should be scoping out GalNet for more on this.
 
Sorry for the CAPS but I cannot use bold from mobile.
BTW I'm wondering if you've watched the video I'm talkin about, before replying: it is a first time in 4 months. Only one Purr, no bg sound. I'm not saying that the solution will be revealed only to a wing of four, but that something interesting could happen. And remember the UA came out together with Wings.

Whatch the video, please.

This is VERY interesting! What did you have in your cargohold?

I'm not saying we shouldn't. Just that he might not necessarily be connected to the Emperor's assassination just because he is known to have clone technology. Or that it is in anyway connected to the UA and requires us to drop everything else and fly to Lave. As I said somewhere way above, if there is any connection it is more likely to be with the plague, and possibly as Nick pointed out with the assassination if a clone was used. I think "Watching Brief" is the term. Lave's moon was Raxxla at one point, but that was in a completely different non-canon Universe. Or Ooniverse.

Edit: It just may be more foreshadowing to search for Walden's hidden bases in the Lave system when Horizons arrives. And the start of a real Alliance story, as the Alliance Navy was deeply involved in the Lave Revolution plotline.

just a thought has anybody tried just expelling it out of the cargo hold whilst in the atmosphere of a station and not docked.

Yes, and nothing happened but a Galnet story that was user-submitted. No plague, no Tharglets, no whales.

Those are the current descriptions on the in game map. I've been trying to read all the lore on systems, looking for clues, and I had not noticed those before. I'm curious if they had those summaries pre 1.2

The sound recordings are, if I may say, insectoid in nature. Clicking, chirping. It does not sound artificial. Like, I don't want to jump to conclusions but... thargoids are the only insectoid anything in the game.

Not sure - I have been to Nuenets but it was a long long time ago just after launch when all I was doing was trading, and I do not recall that description. But it could have been there as at that time I wasn't looking for any of this sort of stuff. ;-)

Definitely worth checking out, even if you do not have a UA it might be worth a poke around to see what is there and if anything different comes up in the missions or the like. Likely worth visiting with a UA as well.

Edit: Good idea on the Galaxy Map descriptions also! Some of us have been so focused on either the new books or the old lore, and are often not in the game, so we are likely missing any changes/additions there. I know they have been slowly adding more detailed descriptions here and there.

Not even a bowl of petunias?


What about taking it to a black hole? they both make silly noises perhaps they will talk.

I hear multiple purrs. In the beginning where it sounds like there is just one, a second purr is in the howl.

Nuenets the system that seems to harbor a dark secret? I was just there.. Not much action.
 
I'm getting this feeling a lot right now:

Anyone else?

There is ALWAYS a purr in the howls: so We do not count them anymore.
We are taking just the five between the howls. Usually five, now One. In Sleipnir we had three. Your observation doesnt change the fact.
I'm talking about the short video btw, the second one.

There are 2 complete UA cycles, NO bg sound (VID 8), and only one purr between the two howls.

I been getting that feeling for the last couple of weeks.

round and round in circles we go, when will it stop nobody knows.



Please frontier give us a clue that we know is directly link to the UA and isn't leading us on a wild goose chase.

Makes me wonder if we've even made any progress since the start of this second thread............
