Nav Beacons do more than just send the Star Name in morse: they also contain the location of any local stations...
This makes Nav Beacons even more similar to the UAs. Interesting.

Currently my ship isnt equiped to deal with this UA, other cargo now at risk. no AMFU.
3 options.
1. Let it expire in current location, 'Hind Nebula' aka 'T Tauri'
2. Risk other cargo and run it 20 jumps to a black market with cargo hatch already at 88%
3. Continue to wait on Main menu for a Pickup .. Anyone want to collect it? will donate it to a CMDR who wants to experiment some,...
Going for a smoke break, hopefully i have 3 options rather than 2 when i get back.
EDIT : Options still open for a pickup if someone wants a UA. let me know, else will expire in 20 mins or so. i'll do a few CQC matches before deciding its fate :/
Returning from a days exploring further afield, salvaged 4 large data survey cache's
Decided to drop in to d1-52 and see if i could grab another UA again. Didnt need to get there as i found one further out while heading back. 130 lyrs or so from merope.

Well there you go:
U-Aliens were buzzing Earth during the Apollo Era, and are using 1950s tech to communicate with us.
Ancient Artefact Audio - Apollo landings
Molyneux "Look to your past"
Morse Code - Apollo 7
AEO Name - Why would FD rename one of their own objects unless as a clue
Humans could have been spotted in Pleione in previous Elites and triggered the UAliens interest in the area

Operation Snatch..
Objective:- Intercept medical convoy and grab "ALL" cargo
When :- Saturday 4pm till 8pm BST
Where:- Merope
Reality:- Mobius
Why, Why not ?
Simple plan, Wing up, Find convoy of any kind (Probably medical)
Take out escorts first
Then hit the ship carrying XYZ and empty it !
Theory, maybe all of the cargo and a UA makes a difference
2nd objective, Drop a UA in the path of a Medical convoy...... Do they react ?
Once collected transport items to Canonn home system Varati for storage / potential later use.
Anyone welcomeo7
Has anyone tried dropping multiple UAs inside Merope proper to see if they interact with each other? Maybe forming a lattice?
I'm excited to hear what, if anything, you find!
With the near perfect line that can be drawn
Sol -> ADR GW-W D1-52 (1.4) -> Merope (1.3) -> California sector (1.2?)
It's quite clear how the UAs move. We also see that they move quite fast.
I'm not sure what you mean:

Centered on Sol, aiming at California. The yellow marker is Merope. Its not even close to a straight line IMHO. :S Sol->ARG GW-W D1-52->Pleiades is a curved line if you stretch it, but not much I can make of it beyond that.
Yes, dropped three. Only one condition (all three dropped simultaneously with hatch away from the star). Nothing happened beyond them all aiming at the core of the star.

Just spend a good 20 min listening there. To be honest, sounds like ambient soundscaping to me. Its quite different from the structured sounds of the UA.
I did too and I agree.
BUT, then I marked SOL on the Gal Map and turned to face it, I swear the sounds changed, when not swamped by backing track...
Take a look at yesterday's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD).Travelled out from Merope to California for a version check.
Last SSS (Medical Convoy) spotted in SYNUEFAI NY-V B21-1, which is 250ly from Merope (650 from Sol?)
Bimbled around California for a while, scanning quite a few of the planets (there are not that many populated systems)
Nothing spotted except Salvage, no interesting contents, was hoping for a Gigantic Data so I could see how much they are worth but only found a Large
Sol/Merope/California really are in a straight line. This snip was taken from California with Merope dead center.

LATER EDIT : option 1. Slow motion, UA pops and warps space all over my windscreen.

It'd be funny if MB came here to say "every UA destruction gets saved on the server, with the CMDR name & ship."
Haha. Funny. :1
Has anyone tried flying in supercruise from Merope towards Sol, like for a couple of hours?
A rather terrifying prospect actually.
