I think they (FD) are giving us hints. but there is very little to go with. just the station and system name.
For me the random system failures in those GalNet articles point to the UA, same for the SS1 incident.
I would believe it is worth while finding a connection between the systems, and/or the UA behavior.
Maybe decode the morse next to the stations ?
maybe check if there is this docking thing that may fit a UA ...?

Same as the Sirius accident. Small local shutle with SS1 investigator has system fail.
Either these guys are being killed off, one by one or the little dinghies can't handle an UA.

"The small ship, a type used to run between orbital facilities..." I was thinking travelling between Laphria Shipyard and Burckhardt, the only two stations orbiting planets. But nothing interesting.

Thanks for checking it out and keeping us posted. Anything of interest in the stations (missions, local news)?

The two on the left are actually the same. The bottom one is just very brightly lit.

Yes, but there is a difference between those and the one on the right. And the double line at the end and two rows up from the end are in common with them all, which is interesting.

We need shots of each arm of the same UA, I think.

Both have a daily news (ironic considering there's only one from May 31st). The news reports an economic boost.

For Burckhardt there's a traffic report (nothing unusual) and commodity market update (liquor).

if there is a connection between the UA and the dissapearance of StarShip 1, then the investigators could have UA's with them too, when their accidents happen (smaller ships/more severe failure?). (assuming there is a hint, conspiracy theories like they are being taken out wouldnt lead to hint to work on, IMHO)
both accidents happened close to stations too.
and we got two station names. is there any connection?
any connection to SS1? and Antares?
Maybe there is a triangulation possible between all the stations/system names that we know... maybe that's where we need to bring the UA to
(can't test any of it, wont have access to the game for a few days, nor do I have a US)

From GalNet (20 May 3301) - https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/20-MAY-3301

First 2 paragraphs:

Over the course of the weekend hundreds of tons of Bio-Waste were dumped in and around stations in 78 Ursae Majoris. This system is currently undergoing preparations for President Halsey's arrival as part of her planned grand tour. A group calling themselves 'The Canonn' claims responsibility for this act.


An anonymous spokesperson told GalNet that they are "a movement of like-minded Commanders seeking the truth about the recently discovered 'Unknown Artefacts'." They state that they are "prepared to use whatever levers are at their disposal to increase the political pressure on the Federation government to force them to come clean." The spokesperson echoed growing fears that the artefacts could be some new weapon of mass destruction.


Let's use what is at our DISPOSAL to force them to COME CLEAN.

Let's dump some Biowaste (and even make it explode near the UA).

Haven't read anything regarding Biowaste and the UA on the wiki. What if we feed it some human bacteria?

Bitstorm, you're a hero :)

So there's only one pattern on a given ua. Any meaning to this pattern must therefore be self contained. Question is, why would there be a difference in the one on the right? Does each UA have unique markings? If so why?

From a programming/game development point of view what would the point of coding unique markings be? (Same goes for the morse in the sound, the unique explosion, etc).

If there is a UA conection at all, the hint would be something like: UA came from anothe station in same system, they may have more.

In Sirius there is just on other station. It's far away.

The 2nd one in your image is different though?

That's really odd, is it old footage, maybe Frontier redid the model.

edit :


Ahhh, so for each pod, it looks like the sides facing and facing away from the head match and are different to the other two sides.

Ss1, Antares, UA, and the recent "accidents " are all likely connected (perhaps even the plague and the emporer)

However, that doesn't necessarily mean any of those ships had a UA on board/involved. They're all separate events that point to the same source. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't actually need a UA to solve this. The UA may just be an "apple" all we have to do is find the "tree"

I wonder if the model is procedurally generated haha

I had stepped away from this investigation a while ago and this evening been reading the work done since then.

The question I started with was based on the news that the UA seems to broadcast its current location relative to the nearest celestial body.

"Why might it be significant for a UA to broadcast where it currently is? What use would it be?"

The next thing I found interesting was that only 3 UA's seem to be known about in game at any time? Is this the case?

Could it be that an individual UA and its broadcast is not significant on its own. Might there be some value in knowing where ALL UA's are? Could there be a significance that knowing the current location of each UA relative to others provides a signal to a single point triangulated by ALL known UA's current positions.

Think of it as a message along the lines of:

UA 1 - I am here, which puts me this far from position XYZ
UA 2 - I am here, which puts me this far from position XYZ
UA 3 - I am here, which puts me this far from position XYZ

Result, a location of a 4th point/location that is triangulated from the information provided ALL known UA's, their current location and some other data that has yet to be decoded?

I have no UA, no knowledge of how to decode the sounds, or any proof. I did play a game as a kid using CB radios and signal strength to triangulate a 'target' that was broadcasting from an unknown position. Maybe the US's are doing a similar triangulation?

I didn't read anything that suggests this has been looked at, but it sounds feasible within the game.
