ALL HANDS !!!!!

Sub Cmdr Outspan has UA "Pandora" hanging off the bow of the LP and wants to know what's next !

In Mobius around the BH with the UA sat not degrading. We will be collecting the UA at some point as I have a promise to keep, However I know there is a test request and we are willing to assist........ SUB Cmdr is also taking about promotion ! Tut....
 
Well 2 hours later of catch up reading again and with a few surprises, also I wouldn't be surprised if some people kicked me around a bit for what I'm about to say:

For me it's this sort of thing that we need to do more with in game and these threads help vindicate that desire :) As with other aspects of the game, it won't come all at once, but by lotting various story arcs we can work to support the new features needed to make them work. These can then be used in other areas of the game and for new stories.

I don't need to give you a hint because I know what is coming :)

Michael

Thing is about hints.......we've been told the hints are there in galnet and elsewhere but.....have you tried to reference those hints later on in galnet if we've "missed" them? Because if the hints are obivious when you know the answers or that little thing that makes them a hint, then they are very hard hints in my opnion as.....past expereience with other games and devs...is that they try to not give it away so badly that it makes the hints be a little story of their own that require knowledge to understand them and so hints are then needed of them. So in my mind one way to get the hints be noticed would be to reference them in updates to them maybe so that gets attention put back to them but doesn't ruin the hint as being a hint.....I don't know if this has been done yet or even if you'll see this or the staff members that can speak to you once in a while....but it's just something to think about unless it's been done already which I appologise for not seeing them :S

It is an continuation of the story and there will be a new mystery to solve - but that's all I'm saying :)

Michael

One could take this as being that the UA mystery is solved at some point....and that the next part just needs to happen...............the goverments recognise that we have the UA and put out a bounty for the UA holders? Would be the appropraite response for raiding their convoys....so I wonder then how many people may value their reputation and ranks in the goverments more than the UA.....

In part you've already triggered the next phase and that's some of what is coming. There's other aspects that haven't been found yet, so these will come in foreground a bit more.

Michael

As I said above......though it would be interesting if there was something to say what we did to partialy trigger the next phase....and you've hidden these other aspects very well or I'm blind here.....Thanks for dropping by though and posting a little while drinking a cup of coffe out of your......Alliance mug is it now?

Thanks MB! This is all I needed!

1. We have driven the story forward and all the hard work we have done has had an effect of some kind.
2. There are things that are CURRENTLY in the game about the UA that have not been found.
3. They will be trying to bring the things we are missing more into focus!

2...and 3......yeah......I was expecting that though I'm wondering how they'll do that as we already knew there was things we've missed. But 1....that's a surprise....

It would be interesting to know what we already did to trigger the next phase.

Yep and we may find out soonTM

The only thing the dev update said about UAs is that "the mystery for these is about to get deeper." How do we intimate that means it had nothing to do with Halsey?

Well for me in my opnion this is what puts them apart as it says about the imperial and federation story line and then mentions the UA completely seperately.....hey I could be wrong and probably am but just still thinking about it.
 
Please record its audio as long as possible Delmonte, without talking on top of it, like a few minutes in debug cam and a few minutes in cockpit. That's the only thing I ask. :)

They said that storyline has stopped and will get going again in the future. Probably once their an actual ship to find.

Where did they say the Halsey storyline had stopped? Assuming there's a quote there, even if they're picking up the Halsey thread later on, how does that mean that the UA has nothing to do with Halsey?

Is it still the plan to get a bunch of Type-9s around a UA for the Chunky Ships factor? If so, and if this UA, I'd be willing to buy a temporary T9 and head there but a 7mil hit on resale is a bit harsh unless I know others are going. (I might have bought a paintjob when I used to fly one but it's not worth 7mil to show off to no avail.)

5hr scanning SSS type 9 with no luck in one of the confirmed system. In one, I found 6 type 9 guarded by 2 conda. Funny how those 6 type 9 had less total cargo on board than what a single combat fitted python can carry.

Don't have much more time to waste looking for the UA before going deeper in the galaxy looking for clue. Willing to buy one (not stolen) out of someone. Interested please PM me.

They're all stolen AFAIK, even the "naturally occurring" ones. IF not marked stolen some bug has hit and you've got very lucky.

Please, bring at least a couple of very massive ships, better if 3 or 4, very close to it, inside the Cloud, and record some long video. Thanks!

Read the dev blog.

There's a similar one for the Federation which will resume during the CQC update
That Halsey, the missing president, probably president that was assassinated and everything surrounding that is a single on going story line. Comment from Brookes in this thread clear state that we, or other groups of players have cracked some elements of the UA already but there more to go, thus it a continuing story line. It seem to me that the two are separate.

LP is holding next to the UA recording as much as possible

I wont be back at the helm until at best 6:30 BST so please be patient and very clear with instructions for Cmdr Outspan:)
 
ALL HANDS !!!!!

Sub Cmdr Outspan has UA "Pandora" hanging off the bow of the LP and wants to know what's next !

In Mobius around the BH with the UA sat not degrading. We will be collecting the UA at some point as I have a promise to keep, However I know there is a test request and we are willing to assist........ SUB Cmdr is also taking about promotion ! Tut....

PLease keep it out there! As I want to see if we can get type 9's around it and change the purrs.........also if the purss don't change at first then someone needs to damage it a little as bitstorm has told me that when a UA is at 100% it always produces 2 purss ish......also I am on mobius teamspeak right now as well!

Why I'm saying to not scoop it as well is because if it's not degrading then the type 9 poliets have plenty of time to manavouer around the UA!

Ah cheers Delmonte, Pandora & Outspan ... :D
From what I heard yesterday Ratking wanted people to bring in some TYPE-9 around it to get the mass up, and then record.
Managed to get hold of Ratking here now on TS, I hope instructions are to follow shortly.

Yeah indeed, I don't get that.

AFAICS all the work weve put in has had no impact whatsoever. =(

And the changes soon to come would have moved on regardless.
 
The only tip I can give you if you are doing this, bring a scanner and use the time to scan the objects. If you somewhat like exploration, that takes a bit of the edge of. Also, if you're in a combat ship, those pirate SSSes are a welcome break.

I did bring a scanner, got a nice bit of money when I made my way back. Also, I said I saw NO SSS at all in that post you quoted, so combat was not an option.

Congrats commander, to you and your crew.
Well, there was a desperate call a while ago about leaving a free floating UA untouched, so I guess people should jump into their T-9s and head out there to do the mass test.

Keep your crew sharp commander, last time a System Defense took a peek what we were doing while studying the object in its natural habitat.
