Just a thought:
There is a system/planet called "GATEWAY" and a planet in Sirius is called "WAYPOINT".
Anyone wanna visit 'em?
Wiki has no entry for those two (Sirius was checked, but i didn't read that the planet "WAYPOINT" was checked.).

Gateway is Mahons base and FFEs starting system.

Getting ready to head back out to HR 1185/1172 for the fourth day of hunting on the Milky Way group. Here's to hoping lady luck is on my side today.

Oh and I was about to suggest the old revolutionary rallying call....

Bring coffee so black it has an event horizon.

Along the lines of what I'm working on but I've got a UA on each wing. Like the idea of the central one though.

The font on our Huds I'd called Eurostile. I can send it to you if you want to try that.

Found it. I'll give it a go tomorrow, it's on my work PC.

Just had a look at the waveform, and no.

The purrs themselves are consistent across all the samples I've ever looked at. That is, though the number of purrs between howls changes, the waveform is identical in every instance for the two purrs. Same for the howls. The howls are exactly the same two audio samples every time. Also, the HR 1185 B morse spells out HR 1185 B, so that is also consistent. What's not consistent is the number of purrs.

I have a theory (puts on tinfoil hat). I really think the answer is about communicating with the artifact directly. Further, I think the artifact is, as other have suggested, scared or off. I think we should spend a lot more time with the free floating ones (since their main benefit right now is that they can float indefinitely) trying to communicate. I also think we need to try different ship distances, configurations (weapons, no weapons, shields, targeted, not targeted, etc.), number of ships and just start throwing messages into the local chat to see what happens. I thought about trying to cut and paste the morse into new messages and playing it through voice comms, but I think that might be a bit too sophisticated for a game AI to understand.

Another thing just pooped into my head (yeah, pooped) and that's can we lower shields, get reaaaal close and then raise shields again so that the UA is inside our shields? It would be all nestled in and protected?

MrTree did it. I was thinking the same as you and suggested it. :)

Edit: Waypoint that is.
