There was always at least two Thargoid-like species according to the new lore (current fiction, released with the new game) - Clavain's post makes reference above ;)

So, not a 'new species' as in - only just created, but 'new to the game-world' war-like species that's been there for as long as the 'goids themselves...

So like an engineered bio organism bye the thargoids themselves?

I think it's the thargoids ... It's always been the thargoids the obvious reason is that pleidese nebula is related to thargoids according to the researchers
tomorrow we might find some answers in merope #horizonsbeta baby !

It's exactly what I told you in my first reply: you shoot the UA and the BG noise I know very well, shows up, then, after 20/30 seconds it disappears (at 3:31) and only the buzzing stays.
It's the BG noise, we've talked about few days ago, when I've tried to decode it again. If you scoop the UA, and then deploy it again, you'll ear it until the last monents of the UA life, where it disappears just a few moments before it dies.
It's somehow linked to UA health, but I personally think that's more linked to UA "anger".

Long time ago, when free floaters did not exist, this noise made the morse very hard to decode. Very.

OK, thanks. It's just that your first reply didn't mention that the buzzing remained, which led me to see it as an outright dismissal of the sound altogether. Personally, I find this behaviour of the UA rather interesting for the reasons you state above.

Like I said before, I was rather guilty about shooting at them in the first place, as I generally don't even scoop them and prefer to let them be (in case they are in fact a life form in their own right rather than some semi-organic piece of technology).

No - like Caucasian and Asian and African (and others) are all Human, Klaxian and Oresrian are both Thargoid "sub-species". And potentially others.

So did we find out anything about the connections between station malfunctions and the UA ?

In that case I agree with you and lord zoltan because that's actually highly possible maybe the other goids wanna warn us about an invasion led by the original thargoids

A Thargoid is a large ductless gland in the neck that secretes hormones regulating growth and development through the rate of metabolism.

I had a Thargoid problem once but the doc gave me pills to take for it.

I believe the forum itself might be suffering from "an overactive thargoid" :D

Have you tried reversing the back ground noise ? Both in slow play and fast play ?

Anyway gonna get some shut eye for now guess we might find something tomorrow when beta comes and we finally get to research the moons of merope.

Hmm, Ayal has me thinking though - very dangerous. As some of you know, I am not a big fan of the UA==Thargoid bandwagon. That said, we know that MB said many many moons ago something along the lines of (and here I am paraphrasing) that what humanity perceived as a Thargoid invasion was really only a scouting party, and that the Thargoids are likely to be looking to see what happened to those scouts. Could the UAs be a Thargoid probe sent to try to regain contact with their scouting party and/or determine what happened to them? And the ship scan is to look for a Thargoid ship design or Thargoid tech on a human ship?

It's plausible. Though personally I didn't think Michael was talking about a literal scouting party that the Thargoids had lost contact with, I thought he was just making a point about relative strengths: humanity committed 100% and only just won while the Thargoids committed a tiny fraction of their total force.

I think it was said at LaveCon 1. Mr Brookes, care to clarify?

Starting to sound a bit like Ender's Game.

Just trying to catch up more on the original Canonn threads here about the UAs... also rereading the lore.

Might be a dumb question but... in '84 there were 3 other races besides the Thargoids: the Birds, the Frogs & the Cats. Where are they?

Is it assumed that, since the UAs point to Merope, they have to do with Thargoids?

And lobsters and rodents. Basically Frontier Elite 2 was a quasi reboot without the extra species. Anything you read about galcop and the alien systems becoming locked out to nav systems effectively marooning those races from the human bubble is all fanfic.

Just a heads up for some of our newer eager scientists regarding horizons beta.
While there will certainly be a bit of prodding around regarding ua in the beta, it is considered bad form and hopefully fruitless to go bonkers discovering and solving new mysteries. Many people don't have beta access, and it would not be very sociable to go and solve all the new clues in 2.0 before it went live.
We hope that fd will hold back some or all of the changes from the beta, but have no idea if they can, or in some respects want to, some things may need testing.

We have seen it before, with the most well meaning of scientists ruining the mystery for others by publishing details. We still love those scientists, they did not realise the consequences, but we know better now.

If you do ua work in beta, please try and keep the detail to yourself until you can reproduce it in live.
