How many UA carriers are there now? Are you all willing to meet up and do a group drop?
For science, like.
Btw, no whisky tonight - just ribena.

im sure someone would have noticed by now, it doesnt have any sub systems to target does it?
I'll come watch - no patience for SSS farming, it takes forever and no joy but pirates. Heading back to the Bubble at the moment.
Edit: And having said that an SSS just pops while I am fuel scooping in HIP 15273

Yes, on https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=113495, go to the second post, search for "THE HUNT FOR HALSEY" & expand the spoiler. It was an exploration CG, looking for "anomalies" in the carto data.
Really? Like, REALLY!?
We are using something that tells us what the nearest stellar object is. And we are also looking for a planet that is basically a gate to other worlds.
And yet no one is actually taking our magical morse-talking name-giving object to a system called "Bifrost"? I am currently looking for an UA, if no one tests the "sound to reveal a secret object" theory in that system, it will definitely be my first test. It's too obvious
Guys, I think that wearing a Timocani Tinfoil Hat for too long fries your brain.

Drew has taken a break from Elite Dangerous. Partly because of Power Play, but I think mostly because Frontier wasn't allowing his character to continue her story in a logical manner, and not letting Drew continue it through GalNet. Check out his blog for more info.
I think the Formidine Rift angle was his attempt to write Kahina into the mystery and long term storyline, but that appeared to not be in line with Frontier's plan.

And the last section of this, which also appeared in Galnet:

What do you mean by "went away with Drew"? Isn't Drew around anymore? There was at last nothing to do with the Formidine Rift?
There are thousands of named systems in the game many of which could be associated with theories about the purpose of the UAs. The theories are just that, theories. There is zero hard evidence of what the UAs are for or what they're supposed to do, if anything. The only result after three threads is that there is morse code in part of the audio that can reliably and repeatably be shown to spell out the nearest "stellar object". In some cases the names are slightly different from the map names (one of the Ross's) I think. The other thing we've found is two distinct ways UAs appear: free floating and in convoys. There are lots of theories and many have been tested with the handful of UAs that are available, but I don't think there's a practical way to play "hunt the hidden planet" with UAs wihtout more to go on. The ED universe is huge, even with FTL and it would be extremely difficult to tell if it's spelling out something new without someone able to transcribe the morse on the fly.
Just looking into all of this... checked the wiki, all the theories on what it DOES...
Didnt see my initial (fresh POV) theory listed yet.. read the part where FD said "We're overthinking it" so here is my theory, to consider/pick apart/test/whatever.
Similar to the Phage theory- but much more alarming and dreadful:
What-
A Techno- Phage. A Nanodisassembler Swarm. All of you "discoverers" are now nanovirus Typhoid Mary's.
- The Artifact is the assembler/seed of the virus.
- The field and sparks visible are the nanites themselves, latching onto everything they can.
- Its signals are merely meant to draw in investigators/hosts.
- when taken aboard, the nanites start devouring the ship components.
- The Cerberus plague springs up where infected ships have docked (how to determine?)
- Federal leadership mishaps are due to nanite infestation/maliciousness- caused by Fed secret projects and ill advised interest in the artifacts
Who:
Rogue AI. Human of origin, out in the distant fringes of uncharted space. A relic of past technological mistakes (and why we use 8-bit processors and CB radios)
- how they know our morse
- capable of designing the artifact, and the nanites
WHY-
Just living their own "lives" The Artifact is an evolved method of keeping THEM alive. This is a primogenitor of a new AI node- to be birthed when enough resources are acquired.
- AI sperm.... ew. And you guys touched it.
- not purposely attacking us, just "eating"
So.. yeah. How do we check where all the infected ships have been over time? are there records? have they been bumped with galnet outbreak news?

Alright, part one of the UA Reddit Wiki is done!
Sadly due to limited post size I've had to divide it into two parts. Part two will mainly cover the test list. I'll probably also include all our info on where we've found them and all the other miscellaneous knowledge.

Lots of people think the cerberus plague is connected but so far there is no evidence that any place a UA has been found/taken corresponds reliably to a plague outbreak. I thought this was on the wiki, but maybe not. There is a list in this thread (or possibly the previous one) of commanders who have found/taken possession of UAs. I've used that to map the coordinates to see if any patterns emerge (none have for me so far). I believe there have been tests to see if UAs cause plague and they've all been negative.
(Edit: but please do have yourself a tinfoil hat for your theory)
