Guys.....................the Oresrians believed in indivuals being weak while groups of people are stronge........................the tests where the UA has changed the purrs we had more than 1 ship, with my tests they've been kinda weird as nilreb has backed off during them so it's only me but......Slepnir was 3 ish ships that were close to the UA constantly.......that was happening with Delmonte's test which had a purr change as well.....do you think maybe..................? We need lots of players near the UA at once? Sidewinder party?

Worth testing.
 
Theory time.

First capital ship was built in Sol.
Probes have similar communication as the UA and have gone missing.


The capital ships never fly SC, so they never arrive at a nav beacon and then travel to the combat zones like we have to.
They just arrive at the location they want to. Aren't combat zones always near a celestial body?
If they are, then well, maybe that's how this thing travels. It can jump to any celestial body.
Maybe it can use nav beacon data to get the co-ordinates for the celestial.

After viewing several capital ship vids it does behave/display like the UA.
When they return to normal space it displays the same characteristics as an UA.
Same cloud, same particles, same distortion of space/time around it.

Now I hear also that the UA returns morse code for SOL but not the other celestial worlds or stations. Is this true?

Drew, in the first thread, gave cryptic clues, one of which I responded to and he responded back positively but we drew a blank ( haha no pun intended).
I thought at the time the clue pointed to Sol. I had good reasons to believe this.

I can't think of anything about the probes except maybe they act like some sort of beacon.
SS1 may have left our dimension and gone to visit the Thargoids who live in another dimension.
In some cruel twist, someone destroyed or hid the probes to prevent it returning but this is just a far out guess and conspiracy.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that the UA is an organic engine part for huge, powerful jump drives.
Currently only being used by capital ships, later, maybe (many seasons away), we get them for normal ships and w/e that brings.
So I think the answer is in Sol.

The 3 major factions are in an arms race to built all this new tech and get ahead of each other.

Something for me to ponder on. :)

I wouldn't have looked if someone yesterday didn't mention it but it got overlooked.

Where did you hear this? It's no different in Sol AFAIK, it just morses the nearest "frame of reference"/mass same as everywhere else.

Don't think FD would give us a hint like this. Although it sometimes feels like our science is. ;)
 
Still the python was scraping Delmonte's shields close to the UA and again expeiernece with putting the UA out there has shown me that having people that close is very risky......as it's been destroyed through people just trying to get in debug camera range......however experience CMDR's like Nilreb with flying around and such who know their ships and joysticks I would be okay with as they keep good awareness and follow what's said brilliently along with taking the initittive when needed or suggesting things.


Anyway I'll see about it just give me time.......surely you guys can wait longer since we've gone at this for 3......no 4 months now?

Sure! Take your time!
You know you deserve all of my respect, dont you?

Rizal..... I am determined to bag a 2nd UA Think team Biscuit barrel got the speed record ! Now aiming to find at least 4 ! :) I like high targets......
WHEN ! We do it s all yours...

Fly Safe and good hunting all..
 
Someone on reddit posted all the audio files related to the Unknown Artifact. https://www.reddit.com/r/UnknownArtefact/comments/3gira3/stripping_game_files_for_ua_sound/

Most of them mechanical chirping. Some are insectoid chirping or clicking. Some are the whale. Nothing we haven't heard before. Listened to all 102 files and nothing sounded significantly interesting. File 101 is a little weird but that's it.

Yeah, boo reverse engineering and stuff. BUT. This person just casually listened to over a hundred sound files. My man! :D

I'm having trouble getting a hold of my own unknown artefact, I went to some of the systems they were mentioned to be in, yet every time i find the convoy there isn't any UA in the type 9's hold. whats up?

Nomen est omen my friend, nomen est omen. And welcome aboard!

I was out exploring near Azaleach ... I checked out a WSS and there was a wrecked Mk III cobra. While salvaging I found this:
Had to pry it out of the unfortunate pilots cold hands ...

But this. This is just glorious. And next time you find something like this, try not to pry that hard! Especially that bottom bit, where his finger was...


Just a quick question, does the UA corrode systems that are turned off? (life support, power plant, fsd mainly)

Was looking at this, it corrodes everything at random, regardless of being on or off.

Just a thought.. have we considered base 12?

I would have if there were any kind of numbers involved anywhere ;) But if we find something like numbers, we will have to.
(hmmm so far what we have is high-low purrs, that can be translated to binary, now we coooouuuld try to convert that to base 12...)

Okay so every time it roars it lights up
We have seen it in the dark now.
It seems like it is powering up/turning on when it is doing so.

Powering up to send out a signal maybe?

What could we do to figure out the signal.
We have tried putting it next to things to see if there is a reaction, but no dice so far.
Have we had someone next to it looking at the galaxy map in case when it roars it pings something on the Galaxy map?
It knows where it is based on the morse code, might it then use its location to provide directions?

I'll try the galaxy map, but it's unlikely as said before. Let you know.

...
What is big enough to trigger the UAs scanner and can act as a host for the UA to multiply?

Hmm, are we 100% sure that the "UA duplication bug" is a bug? I mean I saw a video of it somewhere, and it almost seemed like an intentional feature... Then we would have the answer to how they multiply right there... just saying.

Yep, fraid so, it was reported and confirmed. Actually not sure duplication bug is quite the right description, its more of an asset tracking bug, but same result.

Normally when a thread hits 8000 posts it's because the mother of all flame wars has broken out (c.f. open vs solo). I bet the mods can't believe there is a perfectly civilised conversation that has lasted so long. This is probably their most favourite thread ever!

It never corrodes Advanced Discovery Scanners (actually it might be DDS) but I just put that down to something being a bit wonky with the game engine, rather than it actually having any meaning.

Also should be noted that it's not just UAs, any cargo can be duplicated. I saw it often when scooping palladium from other commanders.
