UA Mystery Thread 3: The Canonn

Thanks for the reference. I suck at Google, evidently. But I'm confused? The screenshot there (uploaded here so as not to hotlink) says "Stable system with 3 major bodies" and it appears there's a moon under "Planet Lave".

But the modern system map (from E: D) looks somewhat different. Mostly, I was trying to find/verify a potential dark body w/ the UA, but I think the more mundane reorganization-and-acknowledgement explanation fits.

The small dot under the planet Lave is the station (I checked in FFE today).

Yeah, things have changed a lot in the FFE systems that were bought into ED.

- - - Updated - - -

Then again I see this and think that perhaps the actual reason for people finding them all there is because they abandon the other possible spots to go back there, where of course they will be found because everyone looking ends up there.

Perhaps, but the type of SSS is different so there is definitely something new going on.
 
Give it another go, I've been moving stuff away from my personal account to an ED specific one and broken a few bits.

The audio doesn't seem to autoplay, I think Google Drive making it download only due to it being 37Mb and it can't scan for viruses or soemthing.

I'm still getting a 'This web page is not available' -> It;s a bad link needed to correct the http section. I've got the file, thanks.

As an aside, I checked the wiki and found nothing for this but suspect it has been mentioned in the thread, is anyone brave enough to fly into a black hole with one? Maybe they are coming out of black holes from Raxxla or something.

but darn - thinking egyptian ----It could be the Staff of Isis - Lotus Staff (looks kinda lotus leafy to me)--- also look at the seed pod of the lotus


Very nice. Both the leaf and seed pod match quite well.

This bit is also similar to three open lotus flower petals.
 
Please forgive this suggestion of it been done, I haven't been following these threads much as I can't keep up!

has anyone tried taking one of these objects to one of the closed permit only sectors of the Galaxy?
 
After loosing our UA in a tragic over heating folly. Zif just found another one floating freely next to the BH in HR 1185. Hit me up guys if you got something I can try or help with.\

With the S.O.S. signal being found... has anyone else thought of the real life cult connection?? https://youtu.be/A6ZBT4Rdly4?t=38s

Can you give us some details on your setup while hunting? Just in case it matters for getting a UA SSS to pop. I'm thinking what ship, what kind of loadout, which server, how far out from which body, etc.
 
I like the geometry angle, i originally thought three or four UAs together would open up the thargoid stargate but i can see its five that we need now.

And give them some healing waters of shintara, and a biscuit to dunk in it.

I like your theory about a star gate, needing five UAs; might explain why enough numbers are available to make plausible that theory.
 
The Egyptian Lotus aka. the blue water lily "Nymphaea caerulea", has a lot of the same symbolic meanings as the scarab.

It's a symbol of the sun, rising and setting and life, death, resurrection.

Two nice pages:

http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/lotus.htm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphaea_caerulea


I like these two passages:

Nymphaea caerulea was considered extremely significant in Egyptian mythology, since it was said to rise and fall with the sun. Consequently, due to its colourings, it was identified, in some beliefs, as having been the original container, in a similar manner to an egg, of Atum, and in similar beliefs Ra, both solar deities. As such, its properties form the origin of the lotus variant of the Ogdoad cosmogeny. It was the symbol of the Egyptian deity Nefertem.

and

I am he who rises and lights up wall after wall, each thing in succession. There will not be a day that lacks its owed illumination. Pass on, O creatures, pass on, O world! Listen! I have ordered you to! I am the cosmic water lily that rose shining from Nun's black primordial waters, and my mother is Nut, the night sky. O you who made me, I have arrived, I am the great ruler of Yesterday, the power of command is in my hand. -- Spell 42, The Book of the Dead


The answer as always is 42 ;)

Nun, Nut, Atum and Ra are interesting systems in this case.

Perhaps Nun is the best shot?


Edit: Just wanted to add the in game description of 'AZ Cancri Formula 42':

'Formula 42 achieves incredible results, transforming even the most arid of desert worlds into fertile utopias. Beyond its name, all aspects of this product are kept under the highest secrecy. However, people don't ask questions when it delivers time and again.'

Have there been any tests that are timed to the UA when it lights up? Maybe it signals a time that we need to do something it's waiting for us to do.
 
Then you make predictions about how things would look if your model were correct. You want to come up with testable hypotheses, and then figure out what experiments you need to do in order to prove that your hypothesis (and thus, model) is wrong.

This. Very much this.

Can you check your geometry - I'm pretty sure if the symmetry of the 3 lines is 120degrees as an internal angle you'll need a hexgon pattern and hence 6 UA's?
 
I couldn't think of a better way to foreshadow an expansion and its been heavily suggested and hinted at. Buuuut, as far as we know, the only information the UA is giving us is the morse code stating its current location. This is the only hard info we have from it. I bet the Thargoids are using it to map human space by unknowing curios humans. They'll probably think, "These humans aren't as strong as we think they are. Kill 'em!"

My theory at least. Seems that's all we got: morse and theories.
The trouble with this is that for the UA to transmit the nearest object name in morse, it would already have to know morse, and it would already have to have humanity's name for the celestial body. So it could be Thargoid and broadcasting its current location, but I don't think it could be mapping things for the Thargoids.
