I imagine this is a guess from the fact that the convoy with the UP had MA in the hold as well. Unconfirmed as nobody has successfully scooped one yet.

There was always a lot of speculation about that but I think if you get a few hundred CMDRs out there - potentially in a few wings - they'll start popping up. Then they just need to start popping out of the cargo holds!
looking to fleet up and help research. CMDR DUBBLEJOE SEVEN in game
anyone willing to investigate this?

Hello Jorki,
as other have already pointed, those Sap8 results were far from being proof. The purrs dance from 5 to 3 has been observed in other occasion, without any sap 8 close, most of all when many ships were in the instance, and was not possible to reproduce in any meaningful way.
So it was some kind of glitch, and nothing more.
Cheers.

Those Tip off missions are very interesting indeed...
It does not work with UA. Could still work with UP, but chances are slim.
Not yet, it was brought up in the last newsletter, I believe that it's going to be included in the patch next week.
I be surprise if it that soon.
That's a mixture of future planned feature and some people getting over eager. The surface scanner aka DSS will tell you the materials available on a planet, on the sys map screen. No mention of regions, areas or anything else.
For what's it's worth, I've been unable to get the threat level 4 convoy signal, but so far I've gotten two Capital Ship distress calls. Federal Cap Ship being chased down by a pirate cap ship.
I forced the pirate ship to flee, but the Federal Ship has yet to greet me with an all clear message.
I will continue hunting for the convoy signal.

There have been several instances of people going nuts over autogenerated local news recently. Partly the new stories & partly they never paid attention to local news before I think. The new stories about alien parasites don't help either. I think we should make a record of all the autogenerated stories for BGS states for people to refer to and for us to point to when people appear screaming "THARGOIDS HAVE INFECTED PEOPLE'S BRAINS IN SOL!!!11!!1" again.
I think the Winters/Sirius connection is important. I'v been advocating it for a long time. They have links to Antares and SS1. Winters was actually federal president at the time of the 50 year Antares memorial.
Dark forces, shadow president, Winter is comming. Somethig big is looming on the political stage. Perhaps the formation of a new superpower.
At lest we would know who modded UAs into UPs..... Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Military transports shipping and testing UAs (and in some cases discovering it's a UP) eh...
If they succeed at the, er, 'noble science' bit, and progress their research, step two will be to find uses for them. And I'd guess that would mean attempting to weaponize them if possible. I wonder what hybrid engineered weapons could be achieved using materials from unknown items...
Perhaps meta-alloy armour could counter certain effects. A cargo rack is peanuts compared to "Metaconda"

Found a UA at a crash site.
System: Izanami
Planet: A 4 a
Lat/Long: -2.26 / 145.13
Particulars: I was dropping off cargo for a mission and got a "Tip off" message. The message said to go to the above location and pick up a data packet from a crashed ship. Turned out the ship was an anaconda that was transporting the UA but crashed due to degradation of their systems. Data packet was worth 800K and I sold the UA at the nearest station for about 250K.

Check the front page, Breaking news section: it is known and confirmed already.
Thanks for reporting CMDR!
CMDR Irongut and myself did start investigating the 'Tip Off' missions, to start to get an idea of the location persistance (several days at least) and whether another CMDR could go to the site with nothing but the co-ordinates (you can).
It is also interesting that there have been reports of UAs being found near some if the crash sites, as well as some ships showing unusually different corrosion levels.
