Thanks for the offer! However they have stopped being rare, it takes 1-2 min to find one in certain locations. Only speaking for myself but I see no issue with you selling it.
That's a very interesting find!
You sum it up well here.
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.
The question is, how far out did they start?
Is 1965 - 1970 the key?

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
nice! was going to write this up tonight too
looks like we got our next canonn mission
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'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.

Look at Dommarras last post with pic from the California sector.
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...
turn off the music?
Now you've got me wondering. If the UA signal changes with proximity of a ship and also changes alignment to point at Merope, then maybe there is some combination of the two that would result in a new signal, or at least more information.
Also, and this is just spit balling here, perhaps the Merope significance is tied to ancient earth lore. We already know that other ancient earth references like morse code are in play, so why not ancient greek mythology? Or any culture for that matter. Nearly every human civilization has something to say about the Pleiades.
On a more Thargoid related note. The Pleiades (irl) has a large clumping of brown and red dwarfs within the cluster. Perhaps we should also be scouring the M class stars around Merope for signs of activity around any present Ammonia worlds?

Take a look at yesterday's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD).

While it is a fisheye image, mouseover shows an overlay with the details. Notice the proximity of Pleiades with California Nebula in the sky. Of course they're almost in a line , they're right next to each other in the sky from the POV of Sol.
And it's a fantastic image!
I like what you've done with the slow-mo. How much have you slowed down playback, and did you interpolate frames to smooth out the frame transitions?
8 times slower. just cut the recording down to a few seconds as the UA died. then reduced playback speed on youtube editor thing,
Although i can get far better still images from original video replaying it frame by frame on the destruction, but without a way to screenshot it. At least 2 frames theres a massive warp effect. visible in the video slowed down too.
Looks far greater with my anaconda behind it . distortion field is massive but hard to see with black star background,. but with a ship to view the effect against, the warp effect appears to be the size of the gas cloud that UA's emit

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
Haha. Funny. :1
A rather terrifying prospect actually.
I started but its pretty tedious. After 60000 Ls or so i stopped getting signal sources. At 150000 I dozed of...

Indeed. We're *CENSORED*.
There is a reason why my explorer conda has +-10LY less jump range than most. I, for one, welcome our new
Hey all, I just picked up one of these UA's in Aries Dark Region XZ-O B6-3 system while on my way to check out the Pleiades Nebula. Should I be doing anything with it?
